One of the greatest, most sought-after albums by legendary combo Pucho and the Latin Soul Brothers, Jungle Fire! lives up to its name with five extended, incendiary instrumental cuts. Joined by hard-grooving cohorts Neal Creque (electric piano), Bernard Purdie (drums), Billy Butler (guitar), Eddie and Al Pazant (horns), Joe Armstrong (congas), and Billy Bivins (vibes), Pucho demonstrates why he's considered the absolute master when it comes to combining Latin, soul, funk, and jazz into a signature, danceable sound. With cuts like the group's incendiary take on the Temptations' hit 'Cloud 9,' to the buoyant swagger of Gladys Knight & The Pips' 'Got Myself A Good Man,' the drum-driven double team of Pucho and Purdie delivers a crackling backbone of groove throughout. Producers take note: the aforementioned track contains the drum break used in the Chemical Brothers' 1997 hit, 'Block Rockin' Beats.'
As a continuation of Blue Note's "Rare Groove Series" comes John Patton's organ drenched masterpiece. This groovy album features the distinctive sax work of Harold Alexander and the beats of Mr. Hugh Walker. You can't listen to this album without tapping you toes or air drum to the almost - hypnotic rhythms these guys create.. Fans of Jimmy Smith will absolutely adore this album with Patton's organ work.
Stewart Mason of  wrote: Idris Muhammad's "Black Rhythm Revolution is not a bad album at all; in fact, most of the tracks are good to great, with the lengthy bookends "By the Red Sea" and "Wander" both featuring memorable grooves and tight, compact solos. It's just considerably less intense than the title might lead one to believe."
