Sweet 70s funk from the great
Herbie Mann – a tight small combo set done with plenty
of electric touches! Side one, the "up side", features a core combo that's really great – Pat Rebillot on organ and electric piano, David Spinozza on guitar, Jerry Jemmott on bass, Reggie Ferguson on drums, and Ralph MacDonald on percussion – and the tunes themselves are a nice mix
of covers that come off nicely in this instrumental mode. Side two is billed as the "down side", but is still pretty funky at points – arrangements are a bit fuller, but have a nice soundtrack kind
of groove. Pat Rebillot's on keyboards again, and also did some
of the arrangements. Titles include "Turtle Bay", "Do It Again", "Happier Than The Morning Sun", "
Family Affair", "Reverend Lee", and "Never Ending Song
Of Love".
