名手たちの再現力が生むR&Bライブの醍醐味。
Rufus & Chaka Khanの名曲を再構築したライブ・セッション盤。Alan Slutsky率いるバンドが原曲のファンク・グルーヴを忠実に再現し、現代的な息吹を与えている。
名曲“Tell Me Something Good”や“Sweet Thing”を中心に、タイトなリズムセクションと艶のあるヴォーカルが共鳴する。Slutskyのギターはファンク特有の間を生かし、リズムとハーモニーの一体感を際立たせる。ホーンとコーラスの配置も的確で、原曲の魅力を保ちつつライブならではの熱量を加えている。クラシックR&Bへの敬意と現代的解釈が融合した演奏力の高い一作。
