O’s Notes: Big Funk is exactly that featuring drummer Karl Latham leading a pumping rhythm section. They provide a solid landscape for Don Braden (sax, fl) to build upon. The program is mostly originals with a couple of complementary covers thrown in. Keyboardist Nick Rolfe shares the lead lines with Braden and bassist Gary Foote is right there with them as on “Deja Vu” and the explosive “A Foote In The Door”. Don shows his stuff on “Having A Ball” a solo prelude to “Lucy In the Sky”. Energy packed to get your head nodding and definitely funky!
