The Tune Up plays an evolving mix of jazz which blends between classic, experimental and raw sounds. The first track, Ode To Pharoah was sampled by Navy Blue in ‘Ode2MyLove’. Pianist Cedar Walton is featured on the next two tracks: a version of ‘Naima’ by Steve Grossman and ‘Father And Son’ by Freddie Hubbard. Following up is more great hard bop. Ending the mix with a soul track as usual, I played Norris Vines and The Luvlines with ‘Give In’ – released in Canada on Smile Records in 1977.
