Drummer Bobby Previte calls this lineup — which includes Charlie Hunter, Skerik and Stanton Moore — his “super bar band.” On The Coalition of the Willing, that super bar band makes perhaps the most rocking album to come out of the new jazz/funk/jam army. No track relies on the groove or soloing chops as its raison d’etre; instead, the pieces are carried by smart arrangements and memorable hooks, and more than a touch of metal in Hunter’s guitar and Previte and Moore’s drums.
