Alphonse Mouzon, Ronnie Laws, Donald Byrd - Blue Note Live At The Roxy Vol. 1 (1976) [2012 Japanese 24-bit Remaster]

An overlooked gem from Blue Note – a special live performance that brings together some of the label's funkiest and most soulful artists of the 70s! The set's somewhat unusual for Blue Note at the time – especially given the label's increasingly studio-driven approach to jazz, with projects by the Mizell Brothers and others – yet given that bent, the whole thing's a great illustration of the vibrancy of all these artists always from the studio – playing live and extremely funky!
