This is the world's best student band rare groove! A storm of jazz funk coiled by the 70's Kashmere High School Brass Band from Houston, Texas, with an astonishing groove that you wouldn't expect from high school students! The songs, jacket design, sound quality, and every aspect of this rare groove masterpiece will be reissued on LP for the first time, including the four titles in the entire catalog!
Among the many student band albums, this 4th album released in 1972 is hailed as the "world's best" among diggers! Right from the start, there's a barrage of slow heavy funk with Sly's "Thank You" (A1) and Isaac Hayes' "Do Your Thing" (A2), and a cover of Dennis Coffey's "Scorpio" (B2) is a raging jazz funk with plenty of killer long breakbeats! Don't miss the surging bass playing of Gerald Calhoun, who was also a member of the elite section of the band, "Nut, Bolt and Screw Company"!
