Next up on west coast institution Stones Throw comes John Carroll Kirby’s Septet, a breezy trip into the many facets of jazz fusion and big city US funk of the late seventies and eighties. Recorded live in the studio just like the good ol days, opener ‘Rainmaker’ is a summery instrumental strut in the vein of Grover Washington or Art Farmer, with percussive jams in the likes of ‘Sensing Not Seeing’.
