New releases and pre-orders 25th of October 2019

It’s a quieter week but the quality is high. Pride of place is shared by a handful of albums that each offer something totally different. Carmen Lundy’s ‘Modern Ancestors’ set is another winner : beautiful music from one of the most unique and very best Female Jazz vocalists and songwriters of our time, Cornell’CC’ Carter’s lauded ‘Absoultely’ set is in on CD but the LP is still delayed, Calvin Richardson makes a strong return with a trademark southern soulful R&B set that once again sets the bar high with some timeless sounds, Kizzy Crawford’s debut is a triumphant celebration of soul, jazz and beyond that belies her tender years while the prolific Athens Of The North logo brings us the much anticipated ‘Disco With A Feeling’ – a sixteen track journey through some of the most in demand, obscure and rare soul sounds that straddle that bridge between soul and disco from the mid 70s up to ’86. James Brown’s Georgia homecoming tour from 1969 sees its first ever release while there are heavyweight vinyl reissues from Tina Brooks and Grant Green in the Tone Poet series.
