At their chilliest, most magnificent and dread. 
Brilliantly remastered; one-sided.

Jubilant jazz-oetry cut-ups of Weldon Irvine and John Lee Hooker.

Live, organic, cosmic house from the master for the fiftieth SS. Slow-burning electro-boogie — synths over a clicking, swaying, volatile beat — and a more uptempo jazz trip, with dusty, wacked-out breaks.

The latest volumes in this much-loved, highly-acclaimed series presenting the music of the Windrush milieu: the post-war, London recordings of West Indians and West Africans, in the first wave of modern migration to Britain.

Presented as a luxurious mini-book — all paper, no plastic — with suspended card sleeves for the discs. Forty pages of fabulous, previously-unseen photos and full notes, including a terrific, specially-commissioned essay by Kitch biographer Anthony Joseph.

‘Classic Vinyl’ series.

Killer, mournful roots. Plus Pablo on xylophone, over his own awesome rhythm.

With Chick Corea, piano; John McLaughlin, guitar; Miroslav Vitous, double-bass; Jack DeJohnette, drums.

The Weather Report bassist brilliantly driving a core group including a bandoneon, three saxes, two drummers and Randy Brecker through and around swells of orchestra and choir. Ambitious and original.
