Jazzers,
What is the scoop on this record? I thought I read a review in Blues and Soul, but that was at least 3 months ago so I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me of any other notable releases of late?
My latest purchases (and they've been plenty! Perhaps I'll do brief reviews later..):
DJ Frane - Frane's Fantastic Boatride (Goodvibe)
Roots - Roots Come Alive (MCA)
Mos Def - Black on Both Sides (Rawkus)
V/A - Defenders of the Underworld (Battle Axe)
V/A - Subtext (FFRR)
Lafayette Afro Rock Band - Darkest Light: Best Of (Strut)
Fat Jack - Cater to the DJ (Celestial)
Cymande - The Message Anthology (??)
V/A - House Proud (Distance)
And let me recommend the Soul Ascendants LP on Nuphonic. It's been getting no press that I can tell, but I bought it for a friend's birthday and I'm wishing I got it myself! Very tight African-tinged soulful grooves with Tony Allen on 3 of the cuts.
