Great record, and there can't be to much of the B-3 groove, can it?

I like both
- DeFrancesco (the No. 1 technical virtuoso, and he is playing more laid-back than usual here, which is a good thing) and
- Smith (the No. 1 funk groover) a lot.

I would also like to say that the sax players are really doing a great job here, as is Idris.

The guitarist is a bit to much feeling his way around to my liking when he is soloing, like in Broadway. Not that I'm saying he is lost in the progression, it's just the kind of tentative solo playing that I don't fancy so much. He is really good at rhythm playing though.

Many thanks for sharing!
