It’s a great week for reissue 45’s.

There is also a great double A sider from Sylvia Striplin on Expansion with her classic ‘Give me Your Love’ and ‘You Can’t turn me away’.  Tommy MCGhee classic 2-step/modern soul ‘Now that i have you’ is reissued on Numero. There is also a nice mid temp soul cut by Bobby Orozo on Tramp.

There are new albums from Robert Randolph ft Anthony Hamilton plus a nice vocal jazz set from Camila George. The Chip Wichkam La Sombra Cd is now back in stock , the LP will be back in March. On the reissue side Kent serve us up another slice of Manhattan Soul vol 3, Fuse One’s two classic CTI albums are on one CD, Joey Negro has a good 80’s Electro compilation and Sun Ra’s rare 45’s are compiled on a 3CD set.  There are good Vinyl reissues from Paz, Hank Mobley and Curtis Mayfield plus a white vinyl version of Cookin on 3 Burners album.

Pre-order

Pre-order for next week Charlie Wilson, Phil Perry, Rick Braun , Jose James and Thundercat on CD.

Al Jarreau

We are sad to learn of the passing of Al Jarreau , a true legend of our music and a lovely man. Malcolm has written a fitting tribute which you can read here. Also just learned that Junie (of Ohio Players fame) has also just passed.

We have expanded our Winter Warmers CD sale with approx 110 titles on the fantastic Bluer Note label. The titles include Jazz Funk Classics from Donald Byrd, Bobbi Humphrey plus classic 50’s/60’s Jazz from John Coltrane, Herbie hancock, Horace Silver and many more. These are a snip at £5 each in the deal , and can be combined with titles from the other 5 sections to create as many 5 for £25 deals as you like.  See all the titles here

We are offering a great selection of Funky Town Grooves albums on CD at £13.99 each or for £25. many of these have been out of print for some years so please take the chance to grab these whilst they are available.

Don’t miss the great collection of jazz Fusion titles from the inner City label here.

I hope that you enjoyed the show last sunday , if you missed it you can catch it again on the podcast here.I hope that you can join me this Sunday for another Soul Brother Selection on Solar radio/sky 0129  or on DAB.

 

Have a great weekend
