The true joy of an R&B live performance comes from the reproduction skills of these masters.
A live session album recreating the classic Rufus & Chaka Khan song. Alan Slutsky and his band faithfully recreate the funk groove of the original, giving it a modern feel.
Centered around classic tracks like "Tell Me Something Good" and "Sweet Thing," the tight rhythm section and lustrous vocals resonate with one another. Slutsky's guitar exploits the unique rhythmic space of funk, highlighting the unity of rhythm and harmony. The placement of horns and chorus is also spot-on, preserving the charm of the original songs while adding the energy that can only be found in a live performance. This is a highly performative album that combines respect for classic R&B with a modern interpretation.
