Idioma disponível: inglês
Dance to the Disco Sax of Monk Higgins isn't so much a title as it is a desperate plea, and if your feet comply, they deserve some kind of good Samaritan award -- subjugating the orchestral soul arrangements and deep funk rhythms that typified the arranger's previous LPs in favor of slick disco and saccharine smooth jazz, it's a shameless bid for crossover success that lands with a sickening thud. Even with a stellar backing unit including pianist Joe Sample, bassist Wilton Felder, and drummer Paul Humphrey, the music fails to deliver one single moment of pure, uncut funk, which is about as difficult as falling out of a boat and failing to hit water. Thanks to its long Humphrey drum break, "One Man Band" has long been subject to sampling, but the rhythm functions far better outside of its intended context -- here it just goes on and on, as if the drummer is so busy thinking about the new bathroom this session will fund that he forgets where he is and what he's doing. If only listeners were so lucky.
