More Info:
Seven inch vinyl pressing. In advance of their 2017 jazz fusion album comes a re-release of two original songs from the band's now hard-to-find 2010 album, Kindred. The first side features legendary saxophonist, Wendell Harrison, who is best known for his work on Detroit's renowned Tribe record label. 'Kindred' is a dark and heady composition reminiscent of Miles Davis's fusion-era material, which despite it's abstractions, is underpinned by a heavy, head-nodding groove. On the flip is 'Polyester People', an explosive, up-tempo jam which shows off the keyboard skills of Jeremy Ellis. Despite being best known for playing the drum machine alongside the Roots on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Ellis is an incredible keyboardist in his own right. His contribution on the Fender Rhodes calls to mind Herbie Hancock's best work with the Headhunters, and the band never let's up under him!
