One of the funkiest non-p-funk related albums I know. I thought. Because, if you read in the liner notes who's playing on this 1982 album you'll find that Dennis Chambers plays drums. When I looked it up on Discogs, a user says: "Wicked tight shit. Dennis Chambers on drums = Quality control". That pretty much nails it. But it's not only Dennis Chambers. It's so creative and varied, jazz harmonies and funk discipline, from this great musician who died 3 years ago, only 59 years old. He only made 2 albums under his own name. One in 1982 and one in 2002. Then I looked up Don Blackman on Wikipedia and it actually says that he played with Parliament/Funkadelic, Earth, Wind & Fire and Roy Ayers... and he played a lot of jazz/fusion and later hiphop. Lots of credits for his participation in the projects of other people Here's one of my favourite tracks of the album:
