From ACE's KENT label, 24 various artist tracks from the 1960's featuring heavy Hammond, tremendous tenor, and gritty guitar lines abound -- all upbeat and groovy, almost funky at times -- served up in 2 or 3 minute installments from a batch of rare 45s! There are echoes here of the instrumental grooves that play big on the popcorn soul scene, but other work is more jazz-based overall -- and although a few tunes have vocals, the biggest focus here is on instrumental numbers.
