Afro-Disiac Explained

Afro-Disiac is an album by organist Charles Kynard which was recorded in 1970 and released on the Prestige label.^[1]

Reception

Richie Unterberger of Allmusic said, "On this 1970 session, Kynard was backed by a first-rate quartet of musicians that often appeared on Prestige soul-jazz dates of the early 1970s... Kynard's one of the more understated soul-jazz organists of the era, and shares space pretty generously with the other musicians on these basic, funky vamps".^[2]
