Love theme from Spartacus – Terry Callier (The re-discovery of ‘The Folk Man of Chicago’ …. one of his first recordings in thirteen years)
Baby you are nothing without me – Karen Young (The orchestration say’s Jazz – inspired by one those top black orchestras like Count Basie or Duke Ellington … you can tell the writer/producer Andy Khan wasn’t a ‘just come’ but someone who crafted his art)
Super bad – Idris Muhammad (From the lp Black Rhythm Revolution and he obviously revolutionised the rhythms … a drummer who dared to cover a ‘Brother James’ trak which was then rare …. the original lp has recently been re-pressed due to it’s high quality content)
Life ain’t what it seems – Sterling Ensemble featuring Sara Devine (Named after Albert ‘Sterling’ Menendez, who has collaborated with the who’s who of dance music in the New York and surrounding districts – not to mention a regular contributor to Louie Vega’s masterworks)
