Kool & The Gang Live at P.J.’s, Hollywood | Re-issue (Coming July 21st, 2009)
& The Gang Live at PJ’s, Hollywood” was the band’s third album and
is acknowledged as one of the finest jazz-funk albums of the ’70s.
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)
