Chessmen – “Live”

Mostly tepid country & jazz standards on this “live” release by Nashville based lounge group, redeemed by some palpable coke sweat moves on the superfluous bonehead party funk rock of “Fun Time”.  But the real gem is a version of Boz Scaggs’ “Lowdown”, complete with epic slow-burn synchronous scat / guitar comedown coda!
