!!!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mint Condition, a '90s funk band on the commercial downswing for most of this decade, did the trick Saturday night at the Pageant.

The Minneapolis-area band, riding the success of last year’s “E-Life” CD, remains today what it was during its heyday in the '90s: a group of youngish hip cats not afraid to eschew hip-hop conventions and other trends in favor of the purest of musicianship hailing back to '70s old school funk.

During its 90-minute concert, the band, led by singer Stokley Williams, doled out new and old funk jams such as “So Fine,” “Breakin’ My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes),” “Someone to Love” and “Nothing Left to Say.”

It was all pure, uncut and undeniable.

Although Mint Condition gave nearly every band member some time to shine, the solos were too many and overlong, and felt indulgent. The show’s midsection, with all solos and too much conversation, dragged.

Opening for Mint Condition was St. Louis R&B singer Coco Soul, who is also part of a local trio called Soul Alliance. But on this night, Soul was with her own band, and the local staple was at the top of her game.

Boasting a band that included trumpet player Lamar Harris and drummer Jason Moore, the big-voiced Soul lived up to her name as she delivered on her classics including “One Day” and “For All I Know,” potent new material like “Buttahfli” and “Question and Answer,” and covers such as Chaka Khan’s “Sweet Thing” and Yarbrough and Peoples’ “Don’t Stop the Music.”

Soul also showed the crowd what the spirit of her monthly R&B microphone event Café Soul is like, as Harris and C. Jay Conrod, an overwhelming new favorite, performed “Chocolate Lover” and “People Make the World Go Round,” respectively.
