The Lost Album cover
Recorded
Released

This aborted-at-the-time early seventies project from JBs bandleader and trombonist Fred Wesley was a chance for him to stretch out a little with some jazz tracks as well as the funk he was known for. Despite the credits, it was recorded with a set of crack New York jazz players rather than the JBs and delivers a great mix of JBs-style funk, big band jazz and introspective soul-jazz. It remained in the vaults, with parts of it finding their way onto B-sides or other James Brown related albums until it got the proper release it deserved in 1991.
