Focusing exclusively on the monumental, incredibly prolific year he established the original J.B.'s lineup featuring Bootsy Collins, this compilation is an exercise in pure groove. The unedited, full-length jams showcase the absolute invention of modern funk, driven by relentless, heavily syncopated basslines and polyrhythmic percussion. It remains an essential document capturing the most vital rhythm section in American musical history.
