Gettin' Down to It by James Brown.
Rating:Performer Notes:
- Along with SOUL ON TOP, GETTING' DOWN TO IT is one of James Brown's often-overlooked late-1960s forays into jazz. While the Godfather of Soul, backed by a piano trio, doesn't leave his boundless energy behind here, he is clearly in a more laid-back mood throughout most of this 12-song set, channeling his idol Frank Sinatra on tunes such as "Strangers in the Night" and "It Had to Be You." Though some of these songs work better than others, the conceit is undeniably interesting, and Brown hits the most impressive notes on a rollicking reading of "That's Life" and a beautifully gentle take on "All the Way." Not a disc for the casual Brown fan, GETTING' DOWN TO IT serves as a fascinating detour on the beloved performer's singular career path.
Professional Reviews: Mojo (Publisher) (p.144) - 4 star out of 5 -- "Best of all...are Mr. Dynamite's finger-clicking jazz versions of his funk classics, 'Cold Sweat' and 'There Was A Time'."
Format: Vinyl (1 Disc)
Country: (not USA)
Studio/Live: Studio
Release Date: 2 December, 2016
