Sweetback (Japanese pressing)
CD (Item 370464) P-Vine (Japan), 1975 -- Condition: New Copy
A monster set of work by one of the funkiest guitar players ever! Ivan Boogaloo Joe Jones recorded a number of sides for Prestige Records during the early 70s -- but this rare gem came out after all those, in 1975, on the tiny Joka label, and never really got into proper circulation at the time -- making it one of THE indie jazz funk classics of the 70s! The album's actually one of Boogaloo's best -- and has a rougher edge than his Prestige albums -- heard to great effect on the two standout funky cuts, "Sweetback" and "Confusion" -- both of which are stunners that feature Jones really ripping away on the guitar! The whole set's nice, though -- and other tracks include "You've Got It Bad Girl", "Trouble In Mind", and "Jamaica Farewell". (Reissued with the original cover -- and currently out of print in the US!) © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
