about

A few years removed from their 1970 Damon Studios session in Kansas City, Bump & The Soul Stompers, led by Jerald “Bump” Scott, responded to their era’s off-kilter naming conventions to become Unnatural Funk Band.

This previously unreleased pairing was unearthed, with assistance from “Bump” Scott himself, during the Numero Group’s KC-focused research for 2013’s Eccentric Soul: The Forte Label collection.

The soundtrack to a summer evening where nothing more than dinner at home is planned. But the conversation, the light, a simple, fresh, and comforting meal, a bottle or two of Picpoul, and the sight of the trees in the wind lifts it to the most memorable evening of the season. Matthew Doucet
