Lance Ferguson's Rare Groove Spectrum Vol. 2 is a second solid collection of re-works and re-imaginings taking in a broad range of classic tracks, traversing jazz funk rarities, balearic digs, latin groovers and more. Backed by a stellar group of Melbourne musicians including members of The Bamboos & Menagerie, Lance continues the tradition of creating "live re-edits" demonstrated on the initial volume - all pulled off with an inimitable style and playfulness, though always with an obvious love for the foundations.

This, the final track from the album, is Lance's take on Kool & The Gang's low-slung LA classic Summer Madness. Rolling out on a sun-kissed drum-track alongside a lilting honk section, Lance places an exquisitely funky synth solo at the centre of this faithful yet unique instrumental rework.

From Carly Simon through to Mongo Santamaria via Marcos Valle and Pat Metheny - and following the championing of Rare Groove Spectrum Vol. 1 by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Craig Charles, Jazz FM and more - this second volume of Lance Ferguson's Rare Groove Spectrum is sure to hit the sweet spot.
