5 out of 5 stars More than just funk.......2002-02-12

Everyone seems to focus on how funky this is, and yes, there is a large helping of deep funk grooves, but with repeated listenings, its more sophisticated than that. The great thing about this cd is how Sco switches up the mood within a song. A mutated funky chorus will give way to a touching, almost sentimental bridge. A feel-good-cheese-jazz segment will open up into a broad, airy, floating space. I'm still caught off guard by these changes. The sampling is unobtrusive and adds to the alternate-universe vibe. Throw in an abstract of perfectly crafted, yet somehow sloppy solos, and this thing is mind-blowing. If you liked A-Go-Go, this takes awhile longer to get into, but the rewards are there.

4 out of 5 stars good grooves by the truckload....heavy funk,uplifting spirit.......2001-10-03

A really fine album,one which initially disapponted me...I thought it was bland....not at all,this guy knows what he is doing and this one really grooves:hard snares crack,bass drops,and John Schofield skitters some good grooves on top of the sticky funk..they really sound like they are having fun too...It reminded me very much of the equally fine new album by hard avant garde funksters,23 Skiddoo,who have just released a wikkid album("Dawning") with UK heavy reggae horns section Bammie and Eddie Tan Tan,and the legend Pharoah Saunders..If you love "Bump"check out what Skiddoo are doing...It has the same understated power and uplifting grooves."Dawning"by Skidoo,and "Bump"are two albums I just keep coming back to.This album is distinctive,because most of that Blue Note and Verve catalogue kicks in with some heavy heavy grooves,which have been sampled endlessly,but so many of their releases groove heavily,but then seem to tail off into longwindedness,or blandness.Why is that? Just speculating,but I think Blue Note marketing and pr people et al try to please too many people,and end up by boring those of us into intense sustained heavy vibes...the best tracks of this album MOST DEFINITELY do not spiral off into blandness.

5 out of 5 stars Funkay!.......2001-06-02

Groovier than Sco's "A Go Go," with more driving rhythms -- lots of conga and bongos. John goes heavier on the guitar licks. More rock-oriented and funky than "A Go Go"; if that was an album to snap your fingers to and bob your head, "Bump" is one to stand up and boogie to.

4 out of 5 stars sco's got the funk.......2001-02-08

we need the funk, and john scofield provides it. chill down and groove with it.

4 out of 5 stars tune in, turn on, groove out.......2000-12-10

i got an "demo" disk of this cd after a phish concert, me and my friends were walking to my car and this dude was like hey come here i have free cds. He gave us this cd, and a south african native band demo disk. This cd is really good and if you like mmw, youll appreciate it. but if you dont its still cool.
