    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.
