Pure 70s Jazz Funk Tracks . . .
TRACKLISTING
Pure is right! This set is nothing but the real
deal, and it features 10 killer slow funky jazz
cuts from the mid 70s -- all tiny little masterpieces
of funky keyboards, hard percussion, and spacey
electro grooves! Most of these cuts have not been
reissued previously -- and they're all offered here
in a spectacular package that's one of the best
groove parties we've ever dropped on the CD player
after midnight. There's a strong CTI-ish vibe running
through the whole thing -- and titles include "Three
Days Of The Condor" by Rhythm Heritage, "Second
Cut" by The Trendsetters, "Too High"
by Joe Farrell, "Down Home" by Nick Ingman,
"Peace Maker" by Rosko, "Saramina"
by Daniel Janin, "Call To Awareness" by
Hubert Eaves, and "Double Shuffle" by
Preston James.

3 - 14 Tracks Of Pure 70s Funk & Soul . . .
TRACKLISTING
Stone funky! This is a super-hip batch of obscure
funk tracks -- nearly all of them with a hard edge,
tight guitars, raw soul vocals, and a very heavy beat.

and most of these tracks are only currently available
on this hip set! Titles include "Do It Nice &
Easy" by Eddie Drennon & BBS Unlimited, "Contact
Off Funk" by Larry T-Byrd Gordon, "Doin
The Creep" by Alvin Cash, "Funky Driver
On A Funky Bus" by Charles Leonard, "In
The Bottle" by Brother To Brother, "Hang
On In There" by The Stovall Sisters, "Funky
Robot" by Dave Cortez, "Hot Chocolate"

Devil Out)" by The Chubukos, and the hilarious

Vol 4 - Pure 70s Jazz Funk Tracks . . .
TRACKLISTING
This series keeps on going strong -- with a brilliant
batch of funky tunes that you'll be hard pressed to
find elsewhere! Funky jazz is the operative term here,
but there's also a bit of soul -- and the set's got
a focus on those break-heavy cuts that used to show
up years back on dodgy white label comps that you'd
find scratched to bits in hip hop shops. This set's
the real thing, with great mastering, a nice cover,
and dates for all the tracks. Titles include "Takdropp"
by Egba, "Orgy" by Nick Ingman, "Uptown
Serenade" by Walter Murphy, "You're A Star"
by Norman Connors, "Feel It" by Sigi Schwab,
"Cine Mobile" by The Trendsetters, "Turned
Around part 2" by Joe Henderson, "Do It
To It" by Jimmy Owens, "I'll Move You No
Mountain" by Hank Crawford, and "Dance Of
The Honey Bee & The Funky Fly" by David Fathead
Newman.

French Pop &
Soul Experience vol.1 - Pure Originals French 70’s
Soul Tracks
TRACKLISTING
An enigmatic batch of funky tunes from 70s France
-- killer instrumentals that sound as if they were
lifted from American blacksploitation soundtracks!
The roots of the music are a bit obscure -- as the
sessions were headed up by lesser-known French studio
talents like Daniel Janin, Francois Roland, and
Jean Claude Pierric -- but despite the fact that
there's no real big names on the set, the record
cooks like some of the best bigger name acts at
the time, and is overstuffed with sweet and funky
electric tunes! Loads of great bass, keyboards,
and cool moody instrumental touches -- all played
by a host of different studio groups, under the
leadership of the three above. Titles include "Green
Smoke", "Tell It Man Tell It", and
"You Want It" by The Velvet Dream; "Guess
What", "Sea & Sky Line", and
"Twins" by The New Boys; "Seven Hop"
and "Your Thing" by Abrax; and "Yawn
& Yell" and "Gochica" by The
Drums.

The
Lafayette Afro-Rock Band "Soul Makossa"
TRACKLISTING
More than a musical project, it was with the initiative
of French producer, Pierre Jaubert that this project
was born. Oscillating between musical experimentation
and respect of the traditions, Soul Makossa incarnates
this fusion between African music, its rhythmic,
its mysticism and Funk made in the USA.
After your first listen and beyond the technical
prowesses of the musicians, a strange feeling animates
you. If it's difficult for you to describe it, do
not attempt any more! It’s a ritual.
After the very first title, you'll be initiated.
The Lafayette Afro Rock Band, Lafayette Hudson,
Arthur Young, Donnie Donable and Roger Butaccavoli,
seven musicians originating from Long Island,NY
and recently exiled in France have a diverting imagination.
They’ll be able to draw your attention and
request your curiosity to finally guide you during
this trip through Africa and its landscapes.
The Lafayette Afro Rock Band is the proof that audacity
and creativity are the undeniable engine for Afro-funk
music. |
The
Lafayette Afro-Rock Band "Malik"
TRACKLISTING
After the first LP release of the lafayette Afro-Rock
Band, Soul Makossa, everyone was quick to recognize
such an abundance of talent in one Group. The response
was immediate to the new rhythm in their music,
which was to hit the disco scene and leave such
standards as Hihache and Voodounon. The Lafayette
Afro-Rock Band is back again, with this L.P. titled
“Malik”. A slight departure from their previous
all instrumental L.P. This L.P features fine selections
that continually reach new heights and take on newer
directions with the electronic and percussive style
of the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band. Without a doubt,
the band has come up with some of their heaviest
tunes yet. At this point, we could go on and on,
but for those of you who have listened to the first
L.P., you will be fully aware of what we mean. For
those of you who are listening for the first time,
the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band’s bandwagon is becoming
larger and is readyto take to take people on their
heaviest musical trip. - Happy movin’,groovin and
plain ol’listenin’.
