GLORIA JONES –SHARE MY LOVE CD £13.95
Interesting 1975 album from Motown song writer which features a combination of mid 70's semi funky soul and more traditional soul ballads. The highlights are the atmospheric heavily orchestrated mid tempo tracks semi funky 'Share my Love' and 'So Tired Of The Way You're Treating Me' on which her powerful vocals excel. There is also a great version of the ballad so co-wrote for Gladys Knight 'If I Were You're Woman', and other good string laden ballads 'What Did I Do To Lose You' , 'Old Love New Love' and 'Try Love'. The single 'Tin Can People' is a more funky track ala Yvonne Fair.

O V WRIGHT – MEMPHIS UNLIMITED CD £13.95
Great Memphis Soul album from 1973 produced by Willie Mitchell and featuring the Hi Rhythm section and Memphis Strings, and sounding both vocally and musically very much like Al Green's classics from that time. The mid tempo tracks like 'I've Been Searching', 'Nothing Comes To A Sleeper' and 'You Must Believe In Yourself' are in a similar style to 'Love And Happiness'. OV excels on the ballads 'He's my Son' , 'Lost In The Shuffle' , 'Please Forgive Me' , 'Are You Going Where I'm Coming From' and 'Ghetto Child' are great. This is a very under rated album and ranks amongst the best southern soul of that time.

MAJOR HARRIS – MY WAY CD £14.95
Excellent 1974 album produced by Bobbi Eli at sigma sound Philadelphia with that distinctive Philly sound. Includes the excellent modern dancer 'Each Morning I Wake Up', 'After Loving You' and 'Two Wrongs'. The mid tempo stepper 'Loving You Is Mellow' and' Sweet Tomorrow' are also highlights, his version of 'Sideshow' is good, but it is the ballad and his big hit 'Love Wont Let me Wait' an all time soul classic that Major is best remembered for. Classic 70's Philly Soul.

NATHAN DAVIS – BEST OF 65-76 CD £13.95 DBL LP £16.95
Nathan Davis is one of the undiscovered or under-appreciated geniuses of Jazz saxophone (and flute). This superb collection covers his Bop/modal, freer Jazz and Fusion work. The openers 'B's Blues' and 'Sconsolato' have a Coltrane (c. 1960) feel and Nathan's playing certainly sounds influenced by 'Trane. 'a5'has a modal feel, whilst the cover of 'Theme From Zoltan' is exquisite. Hubbard's 'Up Jumped Spring' is given a free improvisational swing propelled by Art Taylor's drums. 'Tragic Magic' is revered in Jazz dance circles. Much of this album was recorded in Europe and has a slightly more flexible approach than US recordings. High quality and compliments the recent release of his classic album 'If' .
also highly recommended 'If' CD £9.95 LP £13.95

VARIOUS ARTISTS – JAZZ BIZNIZ VOL 4 CD £12.95/ LP £13.95
Fourth volume in this excellent series continues the journey through a broad spectrum of music that 'Jazz dance' encompasses. Love the modal waltz 'Dancer' by Gregory Charles Royal or the multi-paced Latin romp 'Schizophrenia' by Cirius B. Lovers of 70's Jazz Funk should appreciate LaMont Johnson's 'Benign Beginning' and Motivators' 'Jobu' is Disco Jazz of the highest quality – check the b line. Lillian Alexander's 'A Dream Without You' hits a soulful Jazz groove with female vocal and catchy hook. Teo'Dore will appeal to (modern) Soul lovers. Najite Olokun Pro 'Honesty' is a wonderful atmospheric African tinged groover. A fine compilation.
