Gears

'Gears' is a masterpiece of the mid-70s jazz-funk explosion, produced with immaculate polish by the Mizell Brothers. The album is a non-stop, kinetic exploration of complex, syncopated rhythms, anchored by Hammond's virtuosic electric piano and synthesizer solos over a bed of lush, soaring string arrangements. It stands as a sophisticated, fiercely danceable classic that heavily influenced the development of hip-hop and house music.
