Pee Wee Ellis

Savoy Records

‘Home In The Country’ is saxophonist, songwriter and arranger Alfred ‘Pee Wee’ Ellis’ 1977 solo debut album, an under-rated collection of mid-seventies funky-jazz and jazz-funk. There’s some disco influence in the plush orchestration but it’s still a very funky record with a detailed, intricate production, plenty of percussive excitement and in-the-pocket rhythm tracks. It’s a clear progression from the JBs sound - the arrangements are richer and there’s more jazz soloing - towards a more jazz-funk aesthetic and overall deserves to be better known.
