Transfusion

Japanese reissue of a classic album of rare groove by West Coast-born funky drummer Les Demarle at the height of his career in the 1970s, with a Japanese OBI strip. This is a studio recording in 1977 on the jazz label called Dobre Records, which was run by Ray Lawrence. The introductory drum break to 'Moondial' has been sampled by many artists including Jurassic 5's 'Lesson 1', De La Soul's 'Stone Age', DJ Shadow and Greyboy. Other jazz funk tracks such as 'Canned Heat Suite' and 'Kaballa', and the bewitching Afro-latin funk of 'Bacchanal', this is a funky fusion full of groovy tracks throughout the album.
