Overview

The debut release on Nathan Davis' own Tomorrow International label, If remains the funkiest, hardest-driving of the saxophonist's LPs; some distance removed from his previous MPS and Polydor dates, the record boasts a streamlined approach that perfectly serves its relentless grooves: every note and beat means something, and each speaks volumes. Moving deftly from alto to tenor to soprano to flute and back again, Davis' restless energy galvanizes compositions like "Stick Buddy," "New Orleans," and "African Boogie," serving as a fiery counterpoint to Abraham Laboriel's pummeling basslines and Dave Palmer's deeply soulful drum breaks -- his playing possesses a sense of urgency and immediacy often missing from the jazz-funk aesthetic, and it transforms If into one of the finest recordings of its kind. ~ Jason Ankeny
