Back to the ’80s: Funky Town Grooves
Continuing our ‘Back To The 80’s feature that last month showcased the Boogie Times label, this month we are proud to switch the spotlight to the Funky Town Grooves label. On this dedicated feature we put the spotlight on 15 reissues and 3 compilations from the label. This is just the first tranche of Funky Town Grooves releases; we will feature part 2 in October. Enjoy.
Nimbus Records Special
Throughout the late 70's and early to mid 80's L.A's Nimbus records produced a steady flow of quality Spiritual Jazz albums. The musicianship on these is outstanding and whilst the albums may not be quite as heavy or as well known as those Strata East or Black Jazz, they deserve much greater recognition. Click the album covers below to hear clips from individual albums and see below for videos from a selection of these great releases. Check out some of the releases in stock below
Schema
Italian Jazz is enjoying a golden period with labels such as Schema and Déjà Vu releasing some of the finest Jazz dance of the last few years. Schema is re-promoting some of the earlier titles from the earlier part of the decade. There are some real gems many of which were overlooked as the Schema sound had not yet fully developed and had not reached the peak of its popularity.
