Details: Review Liquid Soul's second album is a mesmerizing collection of songs that will move you, groove you and funkify your soul. The wicked rhythm section and blazing hot horns combine to make this a nonstop dance-a-thon. -- USA Today Amazon.ca A thriving band of experienced groove tradesman led by Chicago saxophonist Mars Williams, Liquid Soul meld hardcore funk, hip-hop, R&B, and what was once called acid-jazz into a steaming potpourri of modern dance music. The band embraces consistently new, turntable-infested rhythm collisions and old bop classics with equal enthusiasm. A guest scat by fellow Chicago bohemian Kurt Elling on "Salt Peanuts" works well and leaves the door open for further jazz expansions. Using sanctioned samples of elder musical statesman as well as sweet soul ballads to pace their wet-and-wild house party, Liquid Soul unite bebop and hip-hop for a vigorous, butt-shaking affair. This band goes beyond acid-jazz and gets back to old-school funk at the same time. Fun. --Mitch Myers
