The Freelance Bishops are a funk-jazz outfit whose sound will open your ears, and whose groove will make you get down. An old-school funk flavor is their foundation for improvisation and jazz sensibility. The Bishops' straight-forward, yet sophisticated approach to funk is reminiscent of both the soul-jazz combos of the 60's and the harder funk of the 70's but with a modern vibe which sets them apart from all others. The Bishops are riding high on the Boston scene and are making waves. The cuts on this album demonstrate the wide range of material which the group explores while unmistakably creating the coherent Bishops sound. From disco beats to super-funky grooves, and from sinister motifs to up-beat soulfullness, these original songs are strongly steeped in the groove but embrace improvisation in the true tradition of jazz.
