Now, I want yall to check out the reviews and listen to the audio and see for yourselves.
I have to confess that I didn't listen to much in the way of jazz or blues this past year.
(maybe next year will be different?)
In my opinion this has been the BEST year in quite a while (since the 1980's) for NEW RELEASES for fans of Soul & Funk music.
btw.....in my opinion the BEST NEW INDIVIDUAL SONG released in 2001 is:
WHERE ARE WE GOING - MARVIN GAYE
If you can't dig on these releases, in my opinion you have got....
..."a hole in your soul"
