I played a cut from the album last week....yikes, this smokes fire in a
very good way!
I should say that members of Antibalas also makes up part of the
Dap-Kings. It's tight arrangements, and super groovy funk guarantee to
make you smile. I know I did!
I honestly have not heard of Jones or the group until now, so seek when
it comes out.
