Lewis Taylor —
Lewis II ... LP Island/Be With (UK), 2000. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock

Drummer Klaus Weiss gave the world some great funk and jazz in the 70s, but on this early 80s set, he's in a nicely different mode – using a fair bit of (then) contemporary keyboards along with his rhythms – at a level that ties this sound library work into some of the same shift in ...
