Isaac "Redd" Holt Unlimited

An excellent album by Isaac Redd Holt -- one half of the incredible Young-Holt rhythm team, bursting out nicely here on his own! This is Redd's second album -- first for Paula, as the other one was a jazz effort on Argo back in the 60s -- and it's a wild blend of jazz, funk, and a lot of other weird sounds. The introduction's totally cool, and features Redd running through a list of hip little clubs in American cities, then the album launches into the great "Listen to the Drums", which has a tight pounding groove, and moves on to a whole bunch of other jazzy cuts like "Flo", "Slow Funk", and "Let the Spirit In".
