5.0 out of 5 stars Music for Smoke-Filled New Orleans Bars, January 28, 2000

This album makes me feel like I am a small smoky jazz club, enjoying music and scoping mysterious women. Analogy aside, this album has a lounge feel that will appeal to those interested in the funk and so called acid jazz realms. Tracks like "Bidi Man," "Volcanic Acne" and "Kick to the Head" are the kind of foot tapping good vibe tunes that just might get you off your bar stool and dancing with that brunette in the corner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Face-Funker, November 30, 1999

Joshua Halman (Kibbutz Ketura, Israel) - See all my reviews

This CD is smokin'! Robert Walter puts an all star session together here, and lets loose. Most of these tunes could pass as actually being from the era that the title refers to. "Bidi Man" in particular sounds like a mix between the 'Welcome Back Kotter' theme, and the anthem from 'The Cosby Show.' With covers of Miles Davis, and Jimi Hendrix, this album covers a wide spectrum of material, and turns it funky. If you like to dance in your seat, or out on the floor, this'll do the trick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Live and Unbelieveable, February 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Spirit of '70 (Audio CD)

After reviewing many Greyboy albums and hearing of the eventual "parting of the ways" of the members of the Greyboy Allstars, I had the oppurtunity last night to see Robert Walter (the former keyboardist of the Allstars) with his new group, the 20th Congress, play at the 400 Bar in downtown Minneapolis. Without a doubt, it was the single greatest exhibition of musical talent and timing that I have ever witnessed in a live venue.I am absolutly in reverance over this quartet, and the people in the same place I was in will agree with me 100%! I am hooked, and this town will never be the same after last night! You cannot afford to miss this group! This CD is a must have, and you will not regret it!
