"A CLASSIC from the 70's. These guys kicked BUTT on this. If you
listen close, you can hear Idris in the mix saying "all right", "all
right" as they weave their improvisational way through the 4 charts.
It's best to crank this one up VERY loud to get the proper mood and
effect. Brecker and Grover Washington are fabulous on this. This is
my favorite jazz-funk recording of the 1000's of jazz cd's in my
collection. It never fails to get me grooving, even though I've
heard it 100's of times (including vinyl back in the 70's and 80's).
I remember the night I first heard this on that KUDU record I bought
at a local record shop that's long gone now. It was like "YEA BABY,
THIS IS IT!" Absolutely fantastic jazz-funk. Bob James is at his
funkiest on this as well. Idris's other KUDU recordings never even
came close to "Power of Soul". I have them all, but this is his
masterpiece. I've introduced several people to this recording who, not
surprisingly, have never heard of it OR Idris Muhammad, but thanked me
afterwards. Very, very hip stuff from those golden 70's now available
on cd.
