Funk Of Ages ... CD Gramavision, 1990. Used ... Out Of Stock
Maybe not the funk of ages, but a mighty nice solo set from Bernie Worrell – done at a key stretch when he was working away from George Clinton and the P-Funk universe!

A record of incredible beauty from the great Leo Wright – and one that we'd never part with at all!
