Keeping true to the source, yet somehow simultaneously sounding like no-one else, this version is 100% guaranteed to put a spring in the step of any crowd as the sun starts gradually to come out from hiding. Aside from the faithfully executed and expertly recorded drum-track, which sits pretty higher up in the mix than it\u2019s precursor, the star of this particular show comes midway through when Lance\u2019s lilting and sun-kissed guitar solo comes gliding in. If you can\u2019t move to this, even just a little bit, then you might actually be lacking a pulse.<br \/>\nBacking things up is the undeniable latin-funk strut of Mandrill\u2018s \u201cMango Meat\u201d. Given an instrumental work-out here with Remco Keijer\u2018s Flute and Daniel Mougerman\u2018s keys putting in work over a heavy-as-lead rhythm section, those delectable salsa-inflicted horns upping the spice levels.<\/p>\n<p>Lance\u2018s work across the Rare Groove Spectrum series can often be looked on as something akin to a \u201clive re-edit\u201d on the originals, at times switching up sections or extending the groove. These two choice cuts however are a masterclass in subtly teasing out some of the original elements on the tracks that really make them work on a dance-floor, and bringing those to the fore while retaining 100% respect for the OG arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>Label: Freestyle Records<br \/>\nReleased: April 15, 2022<br \/>\nGenre: Nu Jazz<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lanceferguson.bandcamp.com\/album\/got-myself-a-good-man-mango-meat\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BUY <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<p>1.
