Synopsis

Product Description
Mad funk from the legendary Johnny Pate a 1970 instrumental session that rivals his soundtracks for blacksploitation classics Shaft In Africa and Brother On The Run! The album's one of the few that Johnny ever did as a leader, and it's a great batch of instrumentals that cooks with a very funky sound a unique groove that's halfway between soundtrack funk and instrumental soul all with a hip early 70s sort of groove. The album draws strongly from Pate's time on the Chicago scene of the 60s (with The Impressions and other soul artists) -- but it also refocuses his energy with a hipper sound for the 70s one that's a lot heavier on the bottom, thanks to drums from the mighty Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie. Other instrumentation includes funky flute from Jerome Richardson and organ from Richard Tee plus some freaky, fuzzy guitar from Joe Beck. First time ever on CD and lovingly remastered with brilliant sound!
