The title says funky, but this one's more of a batch of soul jazz tracks – largely instrumental numbers, handled in a swinging style that's got traces of soul and R&B, and which matches the backings you might have heard on Lloyd's albums from the late 50s or early 60s. The record's quite nice – with plenty of numbers that will grab you if you dig the Ray Charles or Benny Golson bigger group style of instrumental work – and titles include "Soulful Waltz", "Oh Pee Day", "Trouble (parts 1 & 2)", "Pansetta", "Coo Blue", and "Bro Eliza".

A cool Specialty Records compilation – with three cuts each by the four stars on the cover!

Mr Personality turns his incredible set of pipes on a batch of pop standards, made up by Lloyd into his own uniquely styled numbers. He recruits Slide Hampton to handle the arrangements, played by his group with just a touch of R&B grit. Includes "On The Sunny Side Of The Street", "When I Fall In love", "Trouble", "That Lucky Old Sun", 'Misty", "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You", "Tennessee Waltz", "Pistol Packin' Mama" and "Cry On".
