Phil Upchurch - Darkness, Darkness (1972)

One of the most underrated soul jazz records of not only the 70s but of all-time; session man Phil Upchurch steps up to the front and cuts loose on this gem of a funky record- not only killing it with his own compositions but reworking some classics like Marvin Gaye's Inner City Blues, James Taylor's Fire and Rain and Carole King's You've Got a Friend

A perfect intersection of jazz, funk, rock, soul and blues.
