Where you draw the line in the sprawling P-Funk catalogue as to the ‘last great album’ is obviously personal but Sweat Band’s self-titled album from 1980 is a good contender. Made up of members of Bootsy’s Rubber Band including Maceo Parker, it’s a mix of clean, crisp vocal and instrumental tracks in a general P-Funk vein but also including a venture into bossa nova and the bongo and conga-fest “Jamaica,” both of which could have been interesting avenues for Sweat Band to pursue had they stayed together. Expert-level, professional funk.
