Idris Muhammad - Turn This Mutha Out - LP (1977) kudu - CD (2015) Soul Brother - Jazz Funk - FLAC

Idris Muhammad was born leo Morris in New orleans in 1939 & Passed in 2014.With 21 albums under his belt its unusual for a Drummer to lead a band with a few exceptions. Idris Muhammad recorded this classic Jazz Funk album 'Turn This Mutha Out' in 1977 for the Kudu label. Some great session musicians accompanied him and the album has that David Matthews signature Disco-Jazz-Funk sound. It was well received in the UK most notably for the opening track 'Could Heaven Ever Be Like This', an undisputed classic. Idris and Wilbur Bascomb on bass create the perfect bedrock for Mike Brecker on Tenor Sax, Hiram Bullock on Guitar and Cliff Carter on Synthesizer to solo above, topped by Frank Floyd's vocals. He is an icon with the Jazz Funk/Fusion crowd and i snapped up everything he,s done, Superb Album! with an awesome Line up of musicians.
