The Steve Karmen Big Band featuring Jimmy Radcliffe - Breakaway Parts 1 & 2. 1968 USA


Don't be fooled by the group name, you won't be thinking 1940s bandstand here. This is primarily jazzy psychedelic with an absolutely killer beat, and what sounds like an electric sitar in the background. Radcliffe more or less "raps" on top when he's not crooning. The second side essentially removes Radcliffe so you can just hear the band jam.
