Description:
Keyboardist Robert Walter has built a reputation for his gutbucket Jazz-funk chops from his work in the Greyboy Allstars. Now taking it to the streets with his own 20th Congress, Walter is joined by Galactic drummer Stanton Moore, Greyboy guitarist Elgin Park, and some funky cats from the San Diego club scene. A fine crew of funk-jazz chefs, the Congress cooks up a soul-stirring mix of Walter originals, Dr. John and John Patton covers, and even a hidden cover of Judas Priest's "You've Got Another Thing Comin'." Walter and Co. have no problem making their points in a relatively quick five minutes accorded most tunes.

Walter and Co. have no problem making their points in a relatively quick five minutes accorded most tunes. Nonetheless, when they do stretch out, as on closer "Blues for Y2K" and "Instant Lawn," listeners can get a sense of the players' ingenuity. Perfect for the backyard BBQ or the downtown lounge, Money Shot is a fine solo debut from Walter and another great addition to the Fog City catalog. --Tad Hendrickson
