Album Notes & Community Reviews
By 1975, Ian Carr鈥檚 Nucleus had largely shed their abrasive, avant-garde jazz-rock origins in favor of a much sleeker, funk-oriented approach. 'Alleycat' delivers dense, highly urban jazz-funk fusion, characterized by incredibly tight horn arrangements and extended, groove-heavy instrumental improvisations.
