This time  –  T.C. Carson (When Expansion Records released this solo cd, lots of people said ‘who on earth is he’-  some bought it because they believed in Expansion – others missed out on great music)

Shaft II  –  (Isaac re-created his masterpiece for a new label  … speeded-up arrangement for the Disco floor with  more rhythm and bass and double the length of the original …to some of the younger set he was known for : Chocolate Salty Balls’  to the older ones : Black Moses)

Also sprach Zarathustra  –  Deodata (Take a classical piece  – throw in a crack band of studio professionals to record at Rudy Van Geyer’s studio then have Eumir  Deodata to arrange it … and you have an 8 minutes plus of Classical Jazz-Fusion)

Mas Groove  –  Cevin Fisher (With a slight tweak of his name  Kevin brings us – as he calls it ‘a sultry samba style percussive magic …. i describe it as hypnotic, rhythmic and tribal chant)

Passion  –  Shirley Brown (From the first Shirley and last Stax lp comes this stormer of Southern Soul where you can not only hear but also feel the soul in her voice)

The Runner  –  The Three Degrees (After leaving Philadelphia International via a short stop at Columbia Records they hit the ground running at Ariola with this Sheila Ferguson penned – Giorgio Moroder produced wonderment)

If you got it, you’ll get it – The Headhunters (Herbie Hancock’s backing band steps out by themselves wit no participation by the man himself except for his production skills)

Flight – Studio Apartment featuring Monique Bingham (Studio Apartment is Masanori Morita and Noboru Abe – a Japanese duo who also own Apt and Apt International Records)

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)
