A stunning revival for the great Brian Jackson – an artist who's best known as the keyboardist with Gil Scott-Heron in the 70s, but a hell of a singer on his own – as you'll hear in this really wonderful set! The album's not Jackson's first solo effort – but it may well be the ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

With a name like Chubby, the set ought to be a snoozer – but it swings nicely, thanks to some strong bass work by Jackson!
