Review:
A Brighton-bred, Madrid-based funkateer with talent in abundance, Chip Wickham drops another pair of jewels on this new double-track release on Lovemonk. "Hit And Run" mixes Cuban rhythms with '70s funk sounds, such as a furious flute solo (in the vein of Johnny Harris' seminal "Stepping Stones") and a galloping cowbell. On the flip, "Apache" (not the Shadows/Incredible Bongo Band jam), features some precision, Bob James-esque Rhodes alongside a raucous carnival beat and huge swathes of brass strains. A Nuyorican treat, and a must for Latin funk fans.
