Kashmere Stage Band - Bumper to Bumper Soul [P-Vine Japan]

(Reissued on vinyl for the first time, LP with Japanese OBI) An early gem from the Kashmere Stage Band, and a record where the group was already showing off all their fiery energy! These players were a true powerhouse of American groove – one of the few groups in the US who managed to capture that big band funky energy that was a highlight of the best European bands – like the more progressive groups recording for MPS at the time.

KSB albums range from intense soul to funk to jazz, recorded by the Houston, Texas high school heavyweights under the tutelage of the legendary and late "Prof" Johnson.

NPR wrote: “Kashmere High School… gave rise to a sensation that continues to attract listeners more than fifty years later… Not just one of the best stage bands in the country, but one of the best funk bands, period.”
