Immediately noticeable is Clark’s deft footwork. "Eternal Funk" begins with a slick bass line that gives way to a full-force gale of hurricane funkiness. This shows up again on "Duke Ellington Superstar" and "Rhythm & Biz." The former, an original Clark composition is perhaps the finest and tightest combo playing on the disc, sporting the insistent rhythm of Mike Mele and Steve Chaggaris, whose chase of Clark’s off-time antics lead to a most foot-tapping song. Miles’ "Blue in Green" receives a beautifully mellow reading, funky as a house rent party to be sure, but a wonderful ballad performance and well treated by this format.
This is not fried chicken eatin’, cold beer drinkin’, Lucky Strike smokin’ organ trio music. It goes with peanuts and cashews, a traditional gin martini, and a twenty dollar cigar. A super freshman effort indeed.
Se nota inmediatamente el hábil juego de piernas de Clark. "Eternal Funk" comienza con una línea de bajo que da paso a un fuerte vendaval de funkiness de huracán. Esto aparece de nuevo en "Duke Ellington Superstar" y "Rhythm & Biz". La primera, una composición original de Clark, es quizás la mejor y más apretada combinación del disco, con el insistente ritmo de Mike Mele y Steve Chaggaris, cuya persecución de las payasadas de Clark fuera de tiempo llevan a una canción muy interesante. El "Blue in Green" de Miles recibe una hermosa lectura melodiosa, funky como una fiesta de alquiler de casa, pero una maravillosa actuación de balada y bien tratada por este formato.
Esto no es comer pollo frito, beber cerveza fría, música de trío de órgano de Lucky Strike. Va con cacahuetes y anacardos, un tradicional gin martini, y un cigarro de veinte dólares. Un esfuerzo de súper novato de hecho.
