"They got the name of the group right
on this one (The Greasy Beats) -- because the music here is greasy
and gritty -- partly deep funk, and partly older soul-styled grooves!
The overall groove is rich and full -- almost with Memphis soul
touches at times, but cut down with the leanness of the modern deep
funk generation." - DustyGroove.com
"JB and the Rebellion is
an alumni reunion of jazz-funk's perennial players. Organized by
tenor saxophonist Joel Bowers, the disc boasts spots from scene
heavyweights like organist Robert Walter, bassist Chris Stillwell,
percussionist Chuck Prada and DJ Mister Rourke, among others. Recruiting
a rock solid backing of Hammond organist Keith Ladinsky, guitarist
Rodney "B.R." Millon and drummer Aaron Redfield, Bowers
also lays a firm foundation for his album before layering the disc
with talented friends and neighbors. Staples in some of the groove
community's strongest live acts, Bowers' recruits have helped set
jazz-funk within its current schooled-yet-slinky, context."

"Joel Bowers has assembled a group
of ringers... Robert Walter, Chuck Prada, Chris Stillwell and others
throw down for a jazz-funk fusion celebration of the groove, and
the room is bumping." - Crazewire.com
"JB and The Rebellion's exhilarating
sax/organ sound pays homage to the soul-jazz, blues and funk of
the late 1960's and early 1970s while pushing jazz and groove music
forward into the future." - JamBase.com
