I love that guitarist Keys, on a label called Black Jazz, in the middle of a chaotic and passionate upsurge in free, political blowing and shrieking, rocked up to the studio and said “I’m going to do some straight Grant Green jazz.” The album still has the heat of the era on it, and the band has a genuine snap and burn. Check the closer, “B.K.,” where electric pianist Larry Nash plays his Rhodes through a wah pedal and the whole band rides a lethal dancefloor groove.
