Dave Sharp’s Secret Seven
7 [Vortex Jazz 1969]

Groove jazz with shots of latin and jazz funk from bassist Sharp here, joined by former Motown saxophonist Chris Kaercher- who contributes a fabulous Bobby Wellins-style solo to Blackout-plus Hammond B3/piano and drums with a cast of special guests. It mostly ain’t subtle, mostly, but swings like hell.
