it was recorded in 1976 in atlanta, georgia, and since then the lp has found itself in the play boxes of soul, funk and jazz djs alike.
first time ever on 12inch!!! taken from the hard to find self titled lp by tommy stewart, bump & hustle music is the definitive disco funk party anthem. Stone cold classic funky disco floor filler thats stood the test of time. raw, earthy, deep jazz – spiritual jazz at its finest! rather, it is part of a long continuum of committed visionary sound, drawing strength from the same sources that inspired its forebears, and walking on the same paths toward enlightenment. its musical message underpinned by the deep pulse of the eponymous mamaniji azanyahs bass, the one is a document that seems somehow out of time: it comes as a surprise that this album was recorded in the 80s, although the one is not a nostalgic throwback to the revolutionary period couple of decades earlier. Suffused with spiritual uplift but lacking any saccharine in either content or production values, azanyah communicates in a language that harks back to the great message bearers of an earlier time: the musical language of coltrane, pharaoh and their fellow travellers, musicians who had journeyed deep into the wellsprings of the african-american and african traditions, and returned with complex, burnished artifacts that spoke of the highest truths with incandescent urgency. ladies and gentlemen, behold the splendor that is salah ragab and the cairo jazz band!Ī whole album of earthy, deep and sublime spiritual jazz – a definition of the genre. entombed within a hand-printed, hand-made pyramid shaped box, this is the first time in 40 years that these recordings will have come to light. the tapes lurking for decades in an old trunk, its taken until now for them to see the light of day, and we present them here as four amazing pieces of egyptian jazz on 2 seven inch singles.

his album >prism music unit< with the cairo jazz band was released in egypt with another by the cairo free jazz ensemble, but perhaps only salah himself knew of the other songs he had recorded at the time, but didnt make it onto these lps. Unreleased egyptian jazz: 2x45s set in a unique hand-printed fold-open pyramid! four sides of previously-unreleased ethnic mythic mystic jazz from the legendary egyptian drummer! before the re-release of his album with the cairo jazz band recently, the name salah ragab was best known to jazz fans and record collectors by way of another lp that was recorded with sun ra in the early 70s.
we hear the precocious, sassy teenaged delinquent on *that s all*, the snarling rock and roll mama on *tough lover* and we revisit her coming of age moment, the song that came to spark her adult career into a new direction and lifespan and became her signature: *at last*. this short and sweet set of six songs spread across three 45rpm records captures various key snapshots and key moments in ettas early career. as the music world mourned, the question still remained - did etta really receive her dues during her life? that recent interest in her career probably peeked when portrayed onscreen by a certain beyonce knowles in the chess biopic *cadillac records* would suggest the answer is no. When etta james passed away in early 2012, the tributes and plaudits flooded in the world over gone forever was the soul diva and legend, the peerless and seemingly indomitable, screaming, bawling r&b siren who had seen off several near death experiences with dangerous substances and even more dangerous men.
