Liquid Soul makes mighty good on their MAKE SOME NOISE mandate, blazing through 13 tracks of old school funk-jazz. Playful DJ-ing and infusions of Latin percussion turn this thing into a July block party that gets even the old curmudgeon upstairs to pop open a window. "Threadin The Needle" is raucous big chorus street-funk, referring back to the old school classic "The Breaks" for a dose of roots. An exposition of the sounds that make this train run, a strident sax solo is followed by smoothed-out guitar octave improvisation by Tommy Sanchez, leaping from there into distorted rock guitar. Mars Williams' saxophonics combine intelligent control with schoolboy antics, forming a pillar of this groove temple. MC/rapper Dirty M.F. extols the goodness of the "Cabbage Roll" to the sound of slinky bass and the band's shining horn section. In a breed apart from that which is faintheartedly termed "jazzy," Liquid Soul has one of the most organic handles on the jazz idiom of anyone who funks. So, MAKE SOME NOISE--this funk may just heal you.
