By 1974, 31 year-old Weldon Irvine was ready for the next phase of his career. Having spent years working variously as a pianist, band leader, composer, arranger and road manager with the likes of Joe Henderson and Nina Simone, his breakout moment as a solo artist finally came in 1974, when he signed with RCA Records. Finally backed with a budget that could match his ambitions, Irvine's first release was Cosmic Vortex, a sprawling, monumental work that embodied a musician at the height of his powers. The result is an album that molds his jazz instincts for free-form improvisation to fit a deep funk aesthetic, but also matched with strong, spiritual lyrics.

Essential rare groove masterpiece!

Classic jazz funk album produced by the brilliant Mizell brothers! Features "Music Is My Sanctuary" and "Carnival De L'esprit"!

Rare groove classic! Bernard Wright was part of the Tom Browne/Don Blackman crew that emerged from a musical academy in Queens NY in the late seventies and set the soul/boogie/jazz fusion world alight!

Super funky album that contains some well known samples!

Recommended!

Written and produced by Larry Mizell, their first collaboration! It's a classic! Nuff tunes, seriously deep funky heavy 70s jazz monster

His only solo album, recorded just before his untimely death: great psychedelic soul featuring a cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Hard Times" and Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come".

Words cannot describe the beauty of Weldon Irvine's music. 'Liberated Brother' (later covered by Horace Silver) is one of two seminal albums released on his own Nodlew label in the early 1970s (the other album being Time Capsule). Deep, deep spiritual, funky jazz.

Classic, radical mid-70's album from Gil and The Midnight Band featuring "The Liberation Song", "Ain't No Such Thing As Superman" and the live spoken word/poem "Pardon Our Analysis"

Killer, killer Brazil - jazz fusion with the incredible Batucada of 'Braun Blek Blue'. Essential!

BACK IN PRINT - LONG OUT!
Essential psychedelic soul/rock Rotary Connection album featuring the legendary "I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun", "Love Has Fallen On Me" and more! A Charles Stepney-produced masterpiece! Can't recommend this enough! Ace!

Norman Connors' debut album with Herbie Hancock, Gary Bartz, Cecil McBee, Stanley Clarke, Airto, Eddie Henderson, Carlos Garnet and Billy Hart. As you can probably tell from this line-up, this is a seriously heavyweight KILLER album of deep, funky spiritual jazz!

Oh man, this is so heavy. The super-deep 'Move Your Hand' along with twisted vocals and hypnotic, incessant rhythm is one of the heaviest sounds of all played loud in a club. Bad, bad tune! Tripped out organ funk of the highest level.

The Holy Grail of modern soul!  Share in the secret and find out why this album is so highly regarded!

Very highly recommended!

The best Sun Ra album! Super-deep, funky odd-ball jazz with spooky whispered vocals! Cult classic deep experimental jazz with an outer-space alien groove! Highly recommended!

In the summer of 2018 Beachfreaks Records founder and celebrated crate digger Charles Bals threw open the doors of Club Meduse, an imaginary open-air venue on the Cote D'Azure where the obscure but inspired soundtrack is always humid, sun-kissed, synthesizer-heavy and proudly European.

The resultant compilation was acclaimed by both music critics and record buyers, so two years on Bals has once more joined forces with Spacetalk to re-open Club Meduse for another imaginary summer season beneath the baking-hot Mediterranean sun. Acting again as in-house DJ, Bals has dipped into his personal stash of obscure, overlooked and little-known gems and selected a soundtrack rich in drowsy chanson vocals, glistening Spanish guitar lines, Latin-tinged drum machine rhythms, rushing Fairlight stabs and sparkling synthesizer sounds.

Heavyweight fusion - check 'Laughter". Album includes Herbie Hancock, Stanley Clarke, Cecil McBee, Gary Bartz, Eddie Henderson, Carlos Garnett, Buster Williams asnd more. Hardcore!

Brilliant funky deep jazz featuring Joe Henderson, Ndugu and Hadley Caliman.

Following on from the success of 'Trudi's Songbook: Volume 1', Tenderlonious led jazz outfit Ruby Rushton come through with 'Volume 2' in the same year. Comprised of a further six cuts the listener is treated to another journey through modern day jazz with heavy afro and hip hop influences. Includes a killer version of the Herbie Hancock classic 'Butterfly' as well as the much lauded 'Tisbury Truckin'. Another triumph for 22a and the UK jazz scene!

Nominated for Gilles Peterson's 'Jazz Album Of The Year' - ESSENTIAL!

Compilation includes two previously unreleased songs ("Mr. Incognito" and "The Night He Got Caught") 

Long awaited repress of the debut album from the Tenderlonious led jazz outfit!

Following a handful of successful 12" singles, 22a records (the hub of a collective of musicians such as Tenderlonious, Al Dobson Jr, Jeen Bassa, Mo Kolours, Reginald Omas Mamode IV and Henry Wu) release their debut album from contemporary jazz four-piece, Ruby Rushton. Led by saxophonist, Tenderlonious, 'Two For Joy' is a reflective, instrumental composition, nuanced by a fusion of afro-beat, hip-hop and electronic music influences - four musicians expressing their craft in the most earnest way they can. We love this!  

Killer fusion album including the heavyweight boogie/jazz dancefloor classic "Ziggidy Zag" and "Macho"!
