Gilles Peterson - Black Jazz Radio (BLACK JAZZ)

Written By 1 - March 23 2013

Available Here on CD

Gilles Peterson, known for his record label (Brownswood), BBC radio show and deep crates, pays tribute to one of his favorite labels, Black Jazz Records. Very arguably a “Best Of” the label, this selection highlights the work of Doug Carn, whose track “Higher Ground” ranks up there with all time greats in spiritual jazz, Cleveland Eaton, his 9+ minute funk chant “All Your Lover, All Day, All Night” would segue well with Sugarcane Harris, early EWF, or Funkadelic. End result is that most all aspects of the label are referenced here, the soul/jazz/funk spectrum playing like a radio show, which perhaps was the curator’s intent…  “I stumbled upon a Doug Carn album and my life changed” (Gilles Peterson) This is part 2 of a 3-disc mix series, coordinated with remastered reissues of the original albums on CD, featuring newly discovered photographs and artwork. Tracklist: 1. Black Jazz Radio Intro  2.The Awakening – Awakening Prologue – Spring Thing 3. Gene Russell – Black Orchid  4. Rudolph Johnson – The Highest Pleasure 5. Henry Franklin – Beauty and the Electric Tub 6. Walter Bishop’s 4th Cycle – N’Dugu’s Prayer 7. Doug Carn – Higher Ground  8. Cleveland Eaton – All Your Lover, All Day, All Night  9.
