Recorded in March 1974. Originally released on CTI Records. Includes liner notes by Didier C. Deutsch.

Though Idris Muhammad has been widely known as one of the finest jazz drummers since the '60s, he has an equal grounding in pop, funk, and rock. Recording in 1974 for CTI Records offshoot Kudu, he was afforded the perfect opportunity to put his funkier impulses to work. The opening jazz-funk workout, a driving rendition of Jimi Hendrix's "Power of Soul" is pushed along by keyboardist Bob James's urgent horn charts, and the licks traded between Grover Washington, Jr. and Randy Brecker on the closing composition "Loran's Dance" make the slow-burning groove come vividly to life. There are a few moments where the production on POWER OF SOUL verges on the overly smooth, but its nevertheless instructive to note that future lite jazz doyens like James and Washington once had a fair amount of grit in their systems.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

5 stars Wicked!
An absolute belter of an album. There is some serious funk going on here.

5 stars Ahead of It's Time
I had the original vinyl new...couldn't get 'Piece of Mind' out of my head; Brecker's trumpet solo reminiscent of Freddie Hubbard--power, range, control, and oh...what phrasing! He and Grover just cook it up. The entire album is a classic very few people know about, but should listen to, as roots are laid down from serious musicians.

5 stars Feel the vibrations!
This album is really brilliant. The bass and the funky drums flow. Bob James and Joe Beck create amazing music with their solos but the legendary saxman Grover Washington steals the show. His sound is almost heavenly. It is amazing that this album was releaed originally in 1975.
