Good God Almighty, it’s time to get funky! This is the kind of CD that’s guaranteed to not leave your stereo for long periods of time. On There Goes the Neighborhood, jazz keyboardist Robert Walter has created a truly exciting and unique slab of good time music that is unparalleled. And with a little help from drummer Harvey Mason, guitarist Phil Upchurch, bassist Chuck Rainey, tenor saxophonist Red Holloway, and percussionist extraordinaire Chuck Prada, there’s nothing not to like here.

Walter is a fantastically talented keyboardist, and his Hammond organ, piano, and Fender Rhodes work throughout this disc is simply jaw-dropping. Fluent in funk, blues, soul, and jazz, Walter and his band The 20th Congress have been cooking up soulful grooves over a couple albums that have caught the attention of all ears within listening range. Walter himself was one of the founding members of The Greyboy Allstars in the ’90s. On There Goes the Neighborhood he steps up to the plate and scores 11 huge home runs.

For fans of the Stax/Memphis/Booker T. kind of sound, then this is the disc you’ve been waiting for. Sure, Walter’s band here doesn’t work within the same kind of respected “less is more” approach that Booker T. and the MGs popularized with their classic sides, but his Hammond work and soulful grooves are no less stunning. This is the kind of music to get up and shake your ass to. A music to celebrate with, a music to listen to, a music to hear when you just need to smile.

And the music truly does speak for itself. Even with those funny song titles like “2% Body Fat”, “Corner Store”, “Bakery Buns”, and “Swap Meet” (but really, how odd are those when compared to similar titles in the Booker T. catalogue like “Jelly Bread”m “Tic-Tac-Toe”, and “Slim Jenkins’ Joint”), the melodies, riffs, and power of the rhythm section all shine through. Sometimes, as on “2% Body Fat”, the songs take on a kind of groovy, ’70s cop show quality, while on other things like “”Corner Store”, Walter’s Hammond exudes a indelible whimsy that gets under your skin and never washes out.
