James Moody • The World Is A Ghetto

 

Description from Dusty Groove (Chicago's Online Record Store):
A sweet set of electric funk from James Moody -- and a great little record to match the grooves he was laying down at the Perception label in the early 70s -- with a very unique sound! Moody's working here alongside some sweet work on electric piano by either Jodie Christian or Tennyson Stephens -- and with some sly and soulful arrangements by Chicago soul maestro Richard Evans, who also plays bass on the record and gives it a style that's almost an extension of the later Cadet kind of groove. The album features an excellent funky instrumental version of "First Thing In The Morning", originally a funky vocal 45 by Chicago singer Joyce Williams -- and other cuts include "Trilby," "Don't Let Me Be Lonely," "World Is A Ghetto," "Good Sense Humor Man," and "Country City Country."

Descripción de Dusty Groove (Chicago's Online Record Store):
Un dulce set de funk eléctrico de James Moody — y un gran disco que complementa los grooves que estaba desarrollando en el sello Perception a principios de los 70 — con un sonido muy singular. Moody trabaja aquí junto a un dulce trabajo de piano eléctrico de Jodie Christian o Tennyson Stephens — y con los astutos y llenos de alma arreglos del maestro del soul de Chicago Richard Evans, quien también toca el bajo en el disco y le da un estilo que es casi una extensión del groove tardío de Cadet. El álbum presenta una excelente versión funk instrumental de "First Thing In The Morning", originalmente un funk vocal 45 de la cantante de Chicago Joyce Williams — y otros temas incluyen "Trilby", "Don't Let Me Be Lonely", "World Is A Ghetto", "Good Sense Humor Man" y "Country City Country."
