One-man soul music industry Carmichael Musiclover returns just months after his top-selling ‘Best Thing Yet’ album from earlier in the year and ‘Lifeline’ continues in that familiar vein, proving that he is still on top of his game. The upbeat, positive vibes of ‘My Money’ kicks off this fourteen track set and the uptempo grooves continue with the vintage feel of ‘House Party’. ‘Hey Sunshine’ is another highlight – a real old school slab of Chicago soul – while the stepper ‘When The Storms Come’ takes the tempo down a little. The fast paced title cut ‘Lifeline’ closes out the...
Pianist, composer and band leader Reggie Andrews was a one-time member of Karma, The Chocolate Jam Co, and Willie Bobo & The Bo Gents, but in 1969 he gathered a talented group of musicians under the moniker of The Fellowship and laid down this now legendary album that is virtually impossible to find on its original issue and commands astronomical four-figure sums. The blend of gentle Afro-Cuban vibes as in the easy, laid back title track to the punchier, Latin jazz of 'Song For J' demonstrates the scope across the nine cuts here. Apart from the sultry, close quarters version...

Producers Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad join forces with a stellar cast of jazz legends on this 8 track offering that both respects the traditions that the collaborators helped to forge while also remaining inventive in outlook. Roy Ayers' 'Hey Lover' sounds like an unreleased session from his 'Everybody Loves The Sunshine' era, at nearly 80 years of age Gary Bartz still brings something fresh on the angular grooved 'Distant Mode' while Brian Jackson's lilting flute breezes over the mellow 'Nancy Wilson'. Pianist João Donato features on the pacy 'Conexao', Doug Carn's organ swirls around the gentle 'Down Deep',...
‘Wu Hen’ is the brilliant second album from Peckham’s highly talented Kamaal Williams and for this set he’s assembled a stellar team of players to give shape to his musical visions. The spiritual opener ‘Street Dreams’ features Miguel-Atwood Ferguson’s lush, cinematic strings, the heavily syncopated funker ‘One More Time’ is driven by Greg Paul’s (of Kalayst Collective) drums, the beautiful, mellow ‘Toulouse’ ebbs gently while the pacier ‘Pigalle’ rides on a hard bop groove. ‘Big Rick’ blends feels of 70s Brit Crime drama TV themes with a heavy, laid back vibe while the thumping dancer ‘Save Me’ has a bolshy,...
