Description

Re-release of one of the BEST JAZZ-FUNK-FUSION LPs EVER RECORDED, and what's more this has a whole side of UNRELEASED BONUS TRACKS! Johnny Hammond's 'Gears' LP from 1975 has long been regarded as one of the finest moments of '70s jazz-funk. A collaboration between fading Hammond B3 player Johnny Hammond and the incomparable Mizell Brothers led to this phenomenal recording which has been coveted by DJs, dancers and music lovers ever since. Not a bad track on it, TURN IT UP!!!

Marking Johnny Hammond’s first album with Milestone Records, the jazz-funk opus Gears garnered critical acclaim upon its release and was a Top 40 hit on Billboard’s Jazz chart. Single “Los Conquistadores Chocolatés” was a crossover success, landing in the Top 5 of Billboard’s Dance Club Songs and Disco Singles charts. In the decades since its release, however, Gears has only grown in its cult status, being sampled by the likes of Erykah Badu and Kendrick Lamar.
