A sweet 70s set from Jackie & Roy – just the kind of record that shows that their genius kept on growing and growing as the years went on!

Don't miss this one! For years, we passed this one by, thinking it an impure version of the great jazz duo Jackie & Roy.

These guys never miss! For years, we'd always passed up the later work of Jackie & Roy – thinking, in our elitist minds, that only their early work was worth merit.

One of the first albums ever from the team of Jackie Caine and Roy Kral – and one of the best, too!

A great little album of percussion grooves – hidden under a package that looks like it's going to be a lot more rootsy, but which ends up sounding like some of the hipper conga-heavy sessions on labels like Liberty or GNP from the late 50s.
