HOT ! Gift Set｜ Other Products ｜Byard Lancaster: Funny Funky Rib Crib (Import) Vinyl LP - PRE-ORDER

"'Funny Funky Rib Crib' is an unforgettable recording (made up of several sessions dating from the middle of 1974) of creative jazz overwhelmed by funk and soul. If Lancaster had already made successful albums in the same genre – notably New Horizons, under the name Sounds Of Liberation which he co-led with Khan Jamal –, this one is an homage to James Brown and Sammy Davis enjoying the company of a host of guests including François Tusques (electric piano), Clint Jackson III (trumpet), François Nyombo (guitar), Joseph Traindl (trombone)… The cover of Funny Funky Rib Crib is a three-quarter profile portrait of the saxophonist (who can also be heard on flute, piano and even vocals). But on the record, the whole group, inspired and frenetic, tests the melodies of 'Just Test', 'Dogtown' or 'Rib Crib' – the two versions of which display leader Lancaster’s art of nuance. But, on both sides of the album the group also moves into a calmer groove, full of blues and soul, 'Work And Pray' and 'Loving Kindness' are meditative tracks where listeners can lay back and relax before asking for more: Funny Funky Rib Crib!!!" - Souffle Continu Records
