Review:
First of only two albums by this talented band on the great Chicago label Black Jazz Records. Including the superb funky tune “Brand New Feeling”. They produced only two albums “Hear Sense and Feel” & “Mirage” and both LPs are really good and present a youthful freedom spirit way of life ! Spiritual jazz funk at it best !!!
