Dennis Coffey And The Detroit Guitar Band Evolution LP Funk Soul Jazz EX

	€		29
	$		34

Excellent early 1970s funk / soul / jazz-funk album by legendary Detroit guitarist Dennis Coffey, best known for his groundbreaking guitar work on numerous Motown recordings and for becoming a major influence within the rare groove and crate digging scene.

This original German pressing on A&M / Sussex Records features the psychedelic vintage cover artwork and contains deep instrumental funk grooves, soulful guitar arrangements and atmospheric early 70s production highly appreciated by DJs, sample hunters and collectors of authentic Detroit funk.

“Evolution” has gained a strong following over the years among rare groove collectors because of its raw groove-oriented sound, funky rhythm sections and collectible early 70s Detroit session-musician pedigree.

A much more niche and desirable collector album than mainstream easy listening records from the same era.
