Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Oakland vocal group's debut showcases their astonishing harmonic blend and stylistic versatility, reviving 1940s jazz and scat traditions within a modern, funk-inflected context. Supported by top-tier session musicians, the record successfully bridges nostalgic Americana with emerging 1970s R&B, highlighted by the breakout, politically conscious hit 'Yes We Can Can'.
