Can You Dig It ? Thrillin' Rare Grooves From Jazz To Soul 'N' Brazil To Boogaloo (2007)

We can definitely dig it, especially since the music on the set is all pretty darn groovy! The package is one of the best in the Brown Sugar series of compilations, and it's got a really tight sort of approach, a mixture of shortish tracks in jazz, Latin, soul, and funk styles, spun out as a really extended collection, one that changes sounds quickly from track to track as the excitement builds! There's a feel here that reminds us of some of the Ace Mod Jazz titles, but with a bit more soul and boogaloo thrown into the mix too and the collection features loads of great tracks that include "Muscle Soul" by Phil Upchurch, "New York Soul" by Ray Barretto, "Up & At It" by Cannonball Adderley, "Grits & Gravy" by Eric Kloss, "Jogo Da Vida" by Tamba Trio, "Fried Bananas" by Benny Golson, "O Jornaleiro" by Toni Tornado, "Spanish Rice" by Clark Terry & Chico O'Farrill, "Gimme Some Love" by Joe Cuba, "Swamp People" by Pucho & The Latin Soul Brothers, "The Houston Express" by Houston Person, "Itch & Scratch" by Rufus Thomas, "Feeling Good" by Andy Bey & The Bey Sisters, "Uhuru" by Ramsey Lewis, "Afro Texas" by Letta Mbulu, and "We Got More Soul" by The Pazant Brothers. Enjoy it and dance!
