O’s Notes: Trumpeter, bandleader Bill Warfield delivers another funky effort with the Hell’s Kitchen Funk Orchestra on Time Capsule. Vocalist Chrissi Poland adds variety taking the mic on five selections notably “Just My Imagination” and “Please Send Me Someone To Love. Matt Hong (sax) and Cecilia Coleman (p) are wailing on “Light As A Feather”, before Warfield lights it up on a brassy rendition of “Cold Sweat – I Got The Feeling” and “Chain Reaction”. There’s a lot of soul in this large ensemble!
