The aged but still great AWB

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This great live set is perfomed with the guys in the group that still hit the Jazz clubs all over the world, and while it is not as great as my old favorite "Person To Person" from the 70's, it is a very solid set from the much smaller AWB of the new millenium. In this CD the AWB fan will find sevral funky remakes of old favorites including "Cloudy" and "If I ever lose this Heaven" as well as "The Jugglers", which only long, long time fans are likely to remember, as it came from their first LP the CD for which has been long out of print and unavailable. Mine got burgled out of my truck, and I haven't found a replacement yet. But in any case as these gents pass from middle age into the next phase of life, they still have that funky edge, and the newer members of the group fill in quite nicely.



So here's the deal, If you don't have any of the old stuff, get it first, (the "Pickin' up the Pieces" anthology has almost everything you could want on it), but if you have the old stuff already pick up this set (Soul of the City) that shows the "Lords of Northern Soul" still have the goods!"
