Title: Fantastic throwback to classic-era funk music
Review: There's just something about that flute.Attempts at recapturing the heyday of soul and funk generally just end up sounding dated. But artists the like of guitarist John Scofield have, in the past few years, managed to take that classic '60s lineup (guitar, bass, drums and organ) and updated it.That is what the Bobby Hughes Experience has done with "Fusa Riot." Combining that sound, paired with sonic effects and killer breakbeats, this album recalls Richard Roundtree's "Shaft" AND Samuel L. Jackson's "Shaft" at the same time. Showing the roots of the past while looking towards the future.And if the future of experimental jazz looks like this, so much the better. Pick this one up today for sure.
