Various - Mainstream Funk (Funk - Soul - Spiritual Jazz - 1971-75) 2022 (Wewantsounds)

Label : Wewantsounds

Value :

Funky jazz and a touch of soul -- all pulled from the short-lived but legendary Mainstream Records -- home to a whole host of hip artists in the early half of the 70s! Mainstream picked things up from Impulse, Prestige, and other soulful labels of the 60s -- allowing jazz musicians to stretch out with a new sense of expression, but often in ways that hit a mighty nice groove -- kind of a 70s update of the soul jazz modes of the generation before, but with a few spiritual jazz touches too! You'll know a few names here from older Blue Note recordings, and they've got an updated 70s vibe, and are matched with some hip younger talents too -- all in a great array of grooves that's superbly selected throughout. 

Taste : 

Sarah Vaughan - Inner City Blues

Mike Longo - Matrix

Horace Silver - Psychedelic Sally / Serenade To A Soul Sister 1968 (Blue Note)

Label : Blue Note

Value :

Two of Horace's best late 60s groovers -- both done with a hard-rolling soul jazz approach! "Psychedelic Sally" is particularly nice -- with a strutting little hook that made the track one of the bigger Blue Notes of the time!  

Taste :

Horace Silver - Psychedelic Sally

Horace Silver - Serenade To A Soul Sister
