STEVE ALLEN / SOULFUL BRASS #2 / LP /

(US / FLYING DUTCHMAN / FDS-101 / 1969 / MEDIA:EX- / JACKET:EX- GATEFOLD)

最高！ぶっといファンキー・ブラス・アレンジのYOUNG HOLT-INLIMITED｢SOULFUL STRUT｣カヴァー！
FLYING DUTCHMANから放たれたタイトル通りのソウルフル・ブラス強力盤。「SOULFUL STRUT」(YOUNG HOLT-INLIMITED)を筆頭にMOD / FREE SOUL好きにも刺さる選曲・高揚感に満ちたパワフルなアレンジが素晴らしく、JOHN KLEMMER、ERNIE WATTS、FRANK STROZIER、JIMMY GORDON、HOWARD ROBERTSほか錚々たる面々が客演参加。イージー・リスニング/ビッグ・バンド・ブラスものというだけでなく、レア・グルーヴとして響く大傑作です。「SON-OF-A PREACHER MAN」(DUSTY SPRINGFIELD)、｢CALIFORNIA SOUL｣(THE MESSENGERS)、｢EVERYDAY PEOPLE｣(SLY & THE FAMILY STONE)などもファンキーです。US ORIGINAL盤！
