Smoky B3 grooves supplied by Matthew Kaminski and his team of Chris Burroughs/dr, Will Scruggs/ts and Rod Harris Jr/g fill the air on this rib-sticking collection of toe taping standards. The quartet grooves like it’s a chicken fry on the late night tempo’d read of Jack McDuff’s “A Real Goodun’” with Harris and Scruggs getting their licks in on a back beat beautiful read of “Sail On Sailor” and a gospel drenched “Midnight Special.”
On most of the other tracks, earth toned vocalist Kimberly Gordon belts out work as she oozes o ut “Just Squeeze Me’ and sashays on “So Danco Samba” while she gets the juke joint jumpin’ on “I Love Being Here With You.” All that’s missing is for her to scribble “for a good time, call…” on the wall somewhere in the club. This band is fun and funky!
