UPCOMING: Gilles Peterson - Black Jazz Radio CD (BLACK JAZZ)

Written By 1 - December 08 2012

Due out very soon, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

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… 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. Roland Haynes – Second Wave 10. Kellee Patterson – Maiden Voyage 11. Calvin Keys – Aunt Lovey 12.The Awakening – Awakening Epilogue
