"This is great classic Soul-Jazz from Prestige Records in 69'. Two albums on one disc- "The Soul Brotherhood" with Charles Kynard (organ), Blue Mitchell (trumpet), David Newman (sax), Grant Green (guitar), Jimmy Lewis (bass) and Mickey Roker (drums)-this one isn't as funky as the next, but with Grant Green and Jimmy Lewis holdin' it down how can it be bad. The next one is "Reelin' with the Feelin' with Charles Kynard (of course on organ), Wilton Felder (sax), Joe Pass (guitar), Carol Kaye (bass) and Paul Humphrey (drums)- this band gets pretty funky on cuts like "Slow Burn" and "Boogalooin'". I actually checked this out because of Paul Humphrey- he's the funky drummer on Jimmy Smith's Root Down album another favorite of mine. I have a good amount of jazz in my collection and I was hesitant to pick this up, but I'm glad I did- it's now one of my top picks. If you like jazz, funk or soul jazz (funky organ music) you will definately dig this."

Happy Tunes

"Charles Kynard and his crew set up a really sweet vibe for rockin in the morning. I love his line up here. Joe Pass is sublime and welton Felder is great on sax. Happy Tunes for happy times."
