Howdee folks! It’s been a mad crazy last 3 weeks, with the weather being erratic and everyone falling sick etc. The good news is that Jazz honcho, Gilles Peterson is back with some really great selections from America.
It’s definitely a must have for 2007 due to the fact that he has selected some of the really rare shit and one that I feel he has put in all ears to make it a classic in the making. (reminds me of the early Capitol Rare grooves done by Kevin Beadle back in 1991)
Gilles digs deep in various used-record stores and gives us 18 selections, dug deep in the regions of America and Canada in early 2007. In the liner notes of the album, you can see why Gilles gives his all in this really proper compilation of super solid tracks. (to find out why, go purchase the album and then u will find out!!)
Moving on to the selections, I had a pretty hard time selecting the spotlight track, as I realized that there are just too many killer ones such as Ray Camacho’s “Movin’ On”, Ramp “The Old One, Two” (I also just found out that RAMP actually means Roy Ayers Master Production ; )) , The Diddy’s “Intergalatic Love Song”, ok ok, sounds like I’m trying to hard sell this album, but really folks, its pure quality and the honcho really gives his best in this one.
Not much anecdotes to go along with this review, just letting you peeps know since the market is filled with so much compilation materials, why don’t just save yourself the headache and go grab this LP now. It’s going to be one of the very last few crate digging classic albums to be released ever again…
Tangkap This!!!
