“Playhouse” by O’Donel Levy is another contribution from the Jazz and Funk worlds from a DOPE guitarist:
By all accounts, one of the most talented Funksters in history, with many tracks to prove it in a variety of genres from Jazz to Soul to Funk and everything in between.
For the cipher, it’s also stocked full of wild breaks and backed by steady bass and drum lines and plenty of snare.
Some background on O’Donel Levy from last.fm:
