supported by

DrBob Jones Super production & the journey is wonderful. Once obscure & hard to find Danish jazz-fusion album from the 1980. Getting plays at the time from Gilles Peterson in London & Dr Bob Jones in Essex. Now re-released in all it's glory on Paul Murphy's Jazz Room Records. Such a welcome re-release oozing QUALITY. Love big time.. Favorite track: The Girl With Three Faces.

about

A Jazz Dance Favourite that Jazz Room Records Head Honcho Paul Murphy was hepped to by Brownswood and 6Music Jazz Supremo Gilles Peterson at the 20th Birthday Bash of London's most Underground of Clubs: Shiftless Shuffle.

Murphy: "I'd quite forgotten all about it, but when I saw the reaction on the dancefloor it was "Mental Note Time, get on the case for a full investigation and let's see some Vinyl re-issue action!"

The head of the original Danish Label, Pick Up Records, later reminded Paul that he was selling the originals in his original Jazz Record Shop "Fusion Records" when the original was released and that he, Peter Littauer, had actually delivered them personally on a trip to London. Synergy in action!

The music is a mixture of 100mph Latin Jazz (Girl With Three Faces/747 To Rio/From Dusk Towards Dawn) and Funky Rhodes driven workouts (Travelling/Circles In The Air), plus the vocal pyrotechnics of Hawaiian singer Lei Aloha Moe who guested on two of the tracks.

Excellent take on Joe Mcphee's 1971 original. Insane sax and keyboards drive the groove. Stronky retro + avant-garde = Defiant Jazz. Tony_Poole

Denga
by Robin Jones Quintet

supported by 54 fans who also own “Ariel”

So pleased to have made this piece of London Jazz history available again. Robin Jones was rightfully called "The King Salsa" of the London Underground Latin Jazz Scene and was everyone's Congero of choice. He was rightfully proud of this first ever original Latin Album recorded in the UK on the totally obscure Apollo Sound label. Fresh and bouncy, one of the most important albums recorded in the UK Jazz and Latin scenes and the wellspring of what was to come. Paul Murphy

Chameleon

Where has this absolutely storming monster of a version been hiding for the last 40 years? Not only that, there is an epic version of Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" too. And the rest of the LP is pretty darned tasty for sure. DJ's! Just play "World Is A Ghetto" and watch those pictures being taken. Paul Murphy
