'Mad funky vibes from The Wooden Glass - a group led by vibist Billy Wooten - an obscure player in the history books, but one who has had a huge influence on 21st Century groove! Billy's got a hard style on the vibes that's like Bobby Hutcherson & Roy Ayers at their soulful best - working here with a tight combo that includes guitar & organ, very much in the mode of his classic work with the slightly more famous [although equally obscure] Indianapolis combo The Ninteenth Whole. The set's a live one, but it really cooks with a sweet electric feel - echoey, funky, and soulful - as tunes spin out in a staggering approach to the vibes that's unmatched by any record of its time. Billy was a huge influence on Madlib and the sound of Yesterday's New Quintet - and hearing this set, it's virtually a blueprint for that group's current work.' ~ crusty groove hype ... 320 velvety vibes to the og uploada
