Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars dated in a good way.......2006-07-17

"Let's Stay Together" plays funk infused jazz. This album is hopelessly lost in the 1970's -and that's part of what's so great about "Let's Stay Together." The crowning tribute here to bell bottoms, pet rocks and platform shoes is the 'Theme From Shaft.' Other recognizable covers include 'What's Going On' and 'Georgia On My Mind.' Jimmy's Hammond B-3 spews out chunks of funk, while the bass plays fat grooves and a greasy brass section punctuates just the right moments. An occasional guitar solo provides some elegance. In terms of significance, this music is now the roots of acid jazz. "Let's Stay Together" isn't a timeless classic, it's an unapologetically dated gem.
