Funk is my religion

"We cannot doubt that funk is indeed a religion to trombonist Nils Landgren and his sextet - because they proselytize about it ceaselessly on Funk Is My Religion. Like all proselytizing, it is obnoxious; by album's end, you may never want to hear the word "funk" again ... If this complaint seems disproportionate, it's only because the Unit is so good at letting its grooves speak for themselves".
