Info:

Mr. K Gets Jazzy On This New 12-inch From Most Excellent Unlimited. The Breakdown Of The Smooth R&b Staple -street Life- Stands Out With A Steady Four-on-the-floor Pulse That Contrasts With The Funk Backbeat Of The Verses. Working Exclusively With This Portion, Krivit Teases Out Six-and-a-half Slinky Minutes Of Sophisticated Groove, Weaving Percussion And Vocalist Randy Crawford S Ad-libs In And Out Of The Mix In Tantalizing Fashion. As A Dj, Danny Krivit Is Renowned For His Willingness To Throw A Funky Curveball Into The Mix, And For The B-side Of This Single He Gives Us A Peek At One Of His Secret Weapons. A Year After Yusef Lateef Released His Hit Version Of -nubian Lady- In 1972, Pianist Roy Meriwether Was At A Small Club In Dayton, Ohio With His Trio And Laid Down A Sprawling Live Take That Covered The Entire Side Of A Album, Including A Bridge That Pushed The Languid Tempo Of The Original To A Sassy Upbeat Workout. Mr. K S Edit Focuses On This Section, Leaving Us With Nine Minutes Of Gritty, Get-down Funky Jazz Complete With Thunderous Drum Break. Whether Working As A Surefire Party Starter Or A Clever Changeup, -nubian Lady- Is A Dancer.
