Description

Sweet grooves from a group who definitely live up to their name – an obscure Bay Area combo from the 70s, who sound mighty sharp and tight on "Get Away"! The rhythms and riffs tumble out at triple-speed as the group unfurl their jazzy style – and the flipside has a mighty great sound, too – almost somewhere in the territory of the jazziest funk groups on Fantasy Records – and maybe even a bit like Vitamin E on their "Newsroom" classic!
