This is pretty good. It's from 1968 on the cadet label, which was always going to be promising. Side A is nice and funky (reminiscent of, but not exactly like Ramsey Lewis and Dorothy Ashby's LPs from this era on Cadet), while side B is more jazzy. This was produced by someone called Lew Futterman, as opposed to Richard Evans, who instead is credited with 'Album Supervision'. The sound is reminiscent of Evans's work, but not the same, so perhaps Futterman was some kind of apprentice. Either way, it's very cool, and the tracks are nice and short, more managable than the long tracks on some of Brother Jack's earlier LPs... This is actually only the second LP of his I've ever bought my own copy of - a couple of years ago I bought a 'best of' on Prestige which was very cool...
