Recommended releases of the week – 31st January 2014

There are a lot of good new releases this week.  Cream of the crop is the new album from Jazzy Soul singer Rajdulari whose Journey of a woman sees her move more into soul territory than her excellent but jazzier Honey Wine set. The Dependable Eric Roberson , Algebra Blessett and Jennifer Holiday also have new soul albums. Resolution 88 is a superb Funky Jazz fusion set and we welcome the Italian Via Veneto label with 5 new albums and a couple of older ones from Mario Biondi’s original backing band High Five.

Strong reissues from Carl Carlton, Phreek Gwen McCrae etc and 3 new 45’s from the Secret Stash label round up the week. For Vinyl collectors check out this weeks new Original Soul LP arrivals.
Don’t forget to put in your diary next Saturday 8th Feb for Natasha Watts in store 12-1 signing advance copies of her debut album, and Sat 1st march for Michael Henderson and Guida De Palma.
The Soul Brother Selection returns on Sunday 2nd Feb 10am- midday on Solar radio (sky 0129)
bringing you the best in new soul and jazz and some classic underplayed soul in the first hour.
have a great weekend
