Idris Muhammad - Turn This Mutha Out - Vinyl LP Record

Idris Muhammad’s 1977 Jazz-Funk masterpiece, "Turn This Mutha Out," delivers a bold fusion of groove and soul on the Kudu label. Backed by top-tier session players, the album pulses with David Matthews’ signature Disco-Jazz-Funk vibe. The iconic opener, "Could Heaven Ever Be Like This," stands as a legendary track, sampled by artists like Jamiroquai and Drake. With Wilbur Bascomb’s bass locking in the rhythm, Mike Brecker’s tenor sax, Hiram Bullock’s guitar, and Cliff Carter’s synth soar, all energized by Frank Floyd’s powerful vocals. This record is a fearless celebration of funk and jazz synergy.
