There is no category for this music. It drips with soul, it grooves like a mofo with funky drums and bass and has some nice horn lines that provide the jazzy melodies. I have been spinning this daily for weeks- it's all about the vibe baby and this music provides the perfect vibe for whatever your doin'. I dug this band from the first time I heard "Easy Access part 1 & 2" from Soul Fire records. I love this stuff.......LOVE IT!! Search the world for Desco, Soul Fire, Daptone & now Truth & Soul records- it's all goodies for the ears, heart & soul!

expertly crafted album January 13, 2006
By Keri B
Format:Audio CD
This is the instrumental funk that drove hip hop from its roots to the mainstream. While none of this is old music, its a freshly grown project spawned from the roots of hip hop. It is funk-jazz fusion genius. The stuff that will get people to lay aside their "chillout" albums and get switched on to some sparkling sounds of artist mayhem. It's not just live intruments that makes this better than downtempo electronic music, there's a breath of life in this album. Its sound, its beats, its melodies... they are art, they are a long walk by the ocean, they are an adventure, a drink of scotch, a memory of a girl, a paycheck, a piece of pottery with your hands curled around all soft and wet, a dream that has come to life, a puzzle that looks back at you and winks.

...and every sidekick needs chill out music. If that sidekick is in a 70's black genre film, then this is the music for you. It has an old school soul-jazz feel, but with a new school hip-hop vibe.

#1,5,10 and 11 are my favorites.

So if you like your soul/funk/jazz/hip-hop lyric free then you can do no better than this. It's just that simple. Word!
