"I heard a fantastically funky song by the Pazant Brothers on one of those terrific 'Super Funk' compilations last year, and hoping that there was more where that came from I ordered this CD. Wow, what a find! Horns a-plenty and funky grooves galore. Where has this incredible band been hiding all these years? This music, recorded from 1969 to 1975 is sheer funk brilliance. Well, chock it down to bad marketing and inept record labels. The music that the Pazant Brothers made certainly was first rate, but like so many other great artists, they never seemed to get the breaks when they needed them. They put out one outstanding album for Vanguard in 1975 (hailed in the liner notes as 'one of the most consistently funk albums ever recorded' ... tough and funky"), titled 'Loose and Juicy', but according to the liner notes 'Vanguard had no idea how to promote black music ... and the record disappeared without a trace.' ..."
