What you'll find recorded on their earliest albums are a combination of jazzier material and the raw funk that made them popular during that period.

I recently acquired their first 2 "studio" albums which are hard to find at a decent price...



...Kool and the Gang & Music Is The Message


Their 2nd and 3rd albums are live recordings...



...Live At The Sex Machine & Live at P.J.'s


Each of these 4 albums showcase a well rehearsed band of serious musicians that also know how to party.

Let me know if you need more info on this pre-JT period. wink
