About the Artist
'I was trying to expand the consciousness of humanity' Lonnie Liston Smith said when he wrote 'Expansions'. And boy, did he... Most Jazz Funk compilations are a dime a dozen, but when you start with the Space Funk Fusion of Mr. Smith, it's a different story. The Master Series: Jazz Funk Vol. 1 is a collection that strays beyond the beaten path and takes you to the dance floor of the Future Age that would come to inspire many of the Acid Jazz generation. It includes songs like Idris Muhammad's 'Could Heaven Be Like This', which served as a direct inspiration to Jamiroquai's hit 'Alright'. But it doesn't shy away from vintage Disco, either, with tracks like 'Spring High', composed by Stevie Wonder and performed by Ramsey Lewis or 'Doctor Jackyll And Mister Funk' by Jackie Mclean. Willie Bobo's rendition of 'Always There' is a definite floor filler, while Herbie Hancock's much sought after Latin-Disco classic 'Saturday Night' makes this a compilation you can't miss, especially since it's the first time this collection has appeared on vinyl!

Great compilation. Two masterpieces in doctor jackal and mr funk by Jackie McLean and the Willie Bobo version of Always There.
Worth the money just for these. Remember the days of clubbing. Loud bass. Jazz funk ruled the world. Great music from a never to be forgotten era.

This was rather up-tempo for my usual show speed and ambiance, but not the record's fault. I should have auditioned it first, and I don't remember if I had the ability to do that or not. However, the artists are first rate, and if you want UP-TEMPO, you'll like this...
