Tower Of Power melds jazz, funk, rock and soul in a way no group ever has.  They are one of those rare bands who can claim to be the real deal, 100 proof, aged-to-perfection, ground zero Soul. Their up-front brass section serves as the prototype for today’s retro-swing bands as they lend their singular horns to immortal tracks by Elton John, Rod Stewart, the Eurythmics and Phish. It seems “What Is Hip?” “Soul Vaccination” and “So Very Hard To Go” are no longer oldies. They’re now timeless. But the truest testament to Tower Of Power remains the bands formidable concert appearances. For over 25 years the band members let loose with an energy-filled show that leaves the crowd on its feet, dancing in the aisles and applauding with feeling for a band that is truly loved.  In THE GREAT AMERICAN SOULBOOK, Tower of Power’s 20^th album, and first studio disc in five years, the group did something new - they played some old songs by lifelong favorites.  Over the past few years Tower of Power has added new members and a fresh outlook, but the band has always remained true to itself and to its soul music roots, never failing to please audiences.
