Idris Muhammad: Power of Soul


This album is a gem. From the title track (a cover of the Jimi Hendrix song) to the last track ("Loran's Dance," my personal fav on the album) the album casts a spell, and if you're in the mood for something a little mellow but not ambient, some good jazz with the kick of mid-70's funk, look no further.

There's enough bass here to call it funk, but it's jazz with a heavy funk influence. If you're familiar with the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, you'll undoubtedly recognize the opening measures from "Loran's Dance," because they open that B-Boys album.
