Mandrill – Mandrill Is (1972)

Mandrill’s 2nd album is fantastic and contains 2 of their most well known/loved grooves – “Ape Is High” and “Git It All”. They are certainly starting to solidify their funky-ass sound. A White Jewish guy named Fudgie Kae joined on bass for this album after 1st bassist Bundie Cenac left to sell Porsches.
