Don Blackman

A jazz funk masterpiece, and THE record by the legendary Don Blackman - the only one issued under his own name for many many years, and a famous little set that's been sampled endlessly over the years, and for good reason! The vibe here is one that's barely been matched again - a blend of 70s fusion, bassy funk, and even tighter riffing - all put together with a greater depth and sense of soul than most other records of it's type. Blackman's a GRP contemporary of Bernard Wright, Tom Browne, and Weldon Irvine - and there's bits of all their sound in the work here, but somehow Don does it even better - hitting these grooves, notes, and lines that seem to fall from the heavens - and which still stand as some of the hippest music of his generation. A record to file proudly next to your copies of Ramp and James Mason - and like those gems, the kind of record that only happens once in an artists career! Titles include quot;You Ain't Hipquot;, quot;Yabba Dabba Doquot;, quot;Heart's Desirequot;, quot;Deaf Hook Up Connectionquot;, quot;Never Miss a Thingquot;, and quot;Holding You Loving Youquot;, and quot;Since You Been Away So Longquot;.
