Informed in equal parts by blues and bop, Boogaloo Joe’s fast-fingered, decidedly staccato lines fit fatback funk beats like hand in glove, particularly when they’re being laid down by drum groove master Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. Also throwing grease into the frying pan on these two rare albums are saxophonist Rusty Bryant and organists Sonny Phillips and Charles Earland.
