Mama Terra are a new Jazz group from Glasgow that have signed to Acid Jazz Records. Their debut album ‘The Summoned’ is an impressive album of spiritual and dancefloor Jazz. ‘A Mind Supreme’ has an obvious nod to Coltrane’s Spiritual Jazz epic but is in fact more modal and contemplative a lovely piece of melodic music with nice horns and keys over a good rhythm, ‘Novo’ also has a very mystical feel. .’Last Hour’ is also very melodic with soft horns and ethereal vocals, ‘Radio Service’ and ‘Sunday ‘follow a similar laid back approach. ‘The Summoned’ and ‘Ruptura’...
Harvey Scales is best known for writing Johnnie Taylor’s massive 1976 hit ‘Disco Lady’ in fact he wrote over a hundred songs throughout his career. He recorded many great Soul and Funk 45s for the Magic Touch label between 1967 and 1977 with his group The Seven Sounds, which are compiled here. 'Get Down' and 'Love-itis' from 1967 are typical raw southern soul funky goodtime dancers of their time which could easily have been recorded by Wilson Pickett. 'Broadway Freeze' , 'The Yolk', 'Funky Football' and the slightly slower 'I Can't cry no more' show a James Brown influence. The...

Leon Thomas had one of the most unique voices in Jazz music. He was at his best when stretching boundaries as he had previously with Pharoah Sanders. Full Circle from 1973 was his 6th and final album for Flying Dutchman, and contains some of his finest tracks, supported by an impressive cast of musicians. At this time he was a member of Santana and the album includes one if Carlos tracks, Just In Time To See The Sun. It is a soulful funky Jazz dancer featuring Pee Wee Ellis on Soprano Sax, Jimmy Owens on Trumpet, Richard Davis on...
Colin Curtis has championed many great contemporary Jazz-Dance artists, so it is only natural that he should compile a superb LP featuring the best dance floor tracks from Japanese Band Indigo Jam Unit for Paul Murphy's Jazz Room label. Indigo Jam unit have recorded numerous albums which have been released on CD in Japan, but I believe are making their first appearance on vinyl. ‘Rush’ is an appropriate title for the first track that epitomizes their urgent style led by a throbbing Contrabass from Katsuhiko Sasai, over a constant rhythm from drummers Takehiro Shimizu and Isao Wasano with Yoshichika Tarue...
