A standout funk session from organist Reuben Wilson a Hammond player best known for his Blue Note albums of the early '70s, who steps out wonderfully here in a rare date for Chess Records. The setting is quite unique a mixture of Wilson s soaring organ lines with some heavy funk backings from maestro Brad Baker. There s a fair bit of soul in the record too vocals that bring an extra 'umph' to some of the grooves, but still leave plenty of room for instrumental solos. Players include Bernard Purdie on drums, Richard Tee on keyboards, and Alfred 'Pee Wee' Ellis on saxes and the album includes the classic rare groove tracks 'Tight Money' and 'Got To Get Your Own.' First time on CD anywhere in the world, and a much-loved funky classic!
