Those of you who know me well know that I have a 40 year love affair with this band. The horn section has been the best in the business for years and its core is intact, with Emilio Castillo (Tenor Sax), Doc Kuppa (Baritone Sax) and David Garibaldi (Drums). The addition of Ray Greene as lead vocalist in December 2013 really elevated this lineup and brought back some of the missing true soul and funk elements from the bands early days. This hour long set really delivers the core of what ToP is. The premier funk group from the bay area sound machine that was the early 70s. Sit back, turn it up and enjoy...my bet is that your feet will move of their own accord and you will be dancing around the house before you know what hit you...so answer the eternal question, What is Hip? by enjoying ToP live.
