Mid-70s jazz/funk out of New Zealand, released on the local Ode label.  The Kevin Clark Group were the resident band on local television's "On Saturday" show & this album showcases some of their varied repertoire for the show.  There are a mix of covers & originals on here & it really criss-crosses a number of genres, in no way able to be classified as purely a "jazz/funk" LP.  Vocals are supplied on most of the cuts by English-born singer Fran Barton while leader Clark (keyboards/fluglehorn) was originally from South Africa.  Based in Wellington, Kevin Clark is still playing & recording today.
