Hyannis, MA, July 14, 2009 --(PR.com)--
"Live at P.J.'s, the third Kool & the Gang record (and second live
album in a row), betters the previous Live at the Sex Machine with a
committed set balancing funky workouts ("Ronnie's Groove") with more
exploratory soul-jazz ("Sombrero Sam"), and occasionally trying both on
the same track ("N.T."). " (All Music Guide **** 1/2)Originally released in 1971, “Live At PJ’s” is classic Kool & The Gang from their early jazz and funk influenced days, long before they became soul crossover sensations of the late ’70’s early ‘80s.
This album has been out of print for some time and has been totally remastered in 24 bit from the original first generation DeLite master tapes.
The 16 page full color booklet includes a major essay from K&TG historian Cleveland Brown, who has worked with the band for over 30 years. There are also rare photos and memorabilia, along with the original liner notes and full session personnel.
