This is not an LP that explores a neat and tidy love story. It isn't interested in the happy ending. It's interested in everything that comes before it, after it, and in spite of it, pulling inspiration from wherever it presented itself, even the most unlikely of places: "It didn't feel like we were making soul music at any point," he says. "It felt like we were making our music."
Mr Bongo reissue Bobby Williams' coveted deep funk rarity Funky Super Fly from 1974. Rich in raw, gritty, from-the-heart grooves, the influence of James Brown is strong, yet the tracks are distinctly Bobby. Oozing style and substance, the album is full of fiery horn sections, strutting guitars and infectious basslines tracked by plenty of prime breakbeats.
Featuring collaborators as diverse as former Portico Quartet bandmates drummer Duncan Bellamy and bassist Milo Fitzpatrick, iconoclastic Polish artist Hania Rani, cellist Dobrawa Czocher, and Australian mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean, Eternal Spring draws inspiration both from Wyllie’s love of verdant nature and from the idea of a constant, flickering sense of hope.
The trio of guitarist Grant Green, organist Larry Young, and drummer Elvin Jones had aspecial alchemy from the first time they got together on 1964’s Talkin’ About. Two months later they returned to the studio with the addition of Bobby Hutcherson on vibraphone for the sublime outing Street Of Dreams, a four-song set imbued with atmospheric elegance.
June 25, 1996. A hungry, razor-sharp JAŸ-Z released his debut studio album ‘Reasonable Doubt’ independently on Roc-A-Fella Records. Built on smooth jazz samples, cinematic street noir production and unmatched lyrical dexterity, the album transformed mafioso rap into high art and established JAŸ-Z as one of hip-hop’s greatest lyricists.
Now-Again has been reissuing the essential records from the Zamrock scene since 2010.

Charlie & the Tropicales bring a 1950's Caribbean hotel party to life with torrid horns, tropical rhythms and infectious grooves. With a nod to New Orleans’ history as the northernmost port of the Caribbean, the Tropicales perform music from Trinidad and Venezuela, Martinique and Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Cuba, and other destinations along the archipelago.
A Hammond organ reimagining of ten tracks from Emilia Sisco’s debut album Introducing, offering a fresh instrumental perspective on some of Timmion’s finest song writing. A cohesive, fully instrumental soul record with broad crossover appeal – equally at home in rare soul and jazz collections, and designed to reward deep listening.
What Does It Take To Bloom? Is her ninth album overall and her first collection of original songs in six years. Musically, it also represents a new chapter in collaboration. During sessions in Lagos, Somi connected with Benjamin James, whose partnership would become pivotal. As one-half of the Nigerian duo The Cavemen., James brings a contemporary approach to heritage-centred sound.
Tropicália ou Panis et Circencis (Latin for Bread and circuses) is a 1968 collaboration album by artists including Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Nara Leão, Os Mutantes and Gal Costa. Considered an important record in the Tropicália movement and in the history of Brazilian music, it features orchestral arrangements by Rogerio Duprat and lyrical contributions from Torquato Neto.
Asha's debut self-titled album is a wonderful fusion of jazz, soul, blues, and disco. It includes an outstanding cover version of J.J. Cale's 'Right Down Here'; a track which Asha has made very much her own by flipping it into a deep-funk groove with sultry ethereal vocals and a drumbeat almost ready- made for samplers of the future.

Recorded on vintage equipment, the set features Joss Stone, CJ Hilton, The Rebirth Brass Band, a remixed bonus track from Jay-Z, and a guest appearance by Stevie Wonder.
