Jazz In The Present Tense
CD (Item 503184) Chrysalis, 1994 — Condition: Used
Related searches
Part of a generation of US Acid Jazzers we could never really get behind at the time, this set fares a little better in retrospect. The playing has a crispness about it that we felt lacked edge back then, but betrays a debt to some of our favorite 70s jazz funk on second listen. Includes "Jazz In The Present Tense", "Keep The Rhythm Strong", "Montuno Funk", "Blood Brother", "Daddy Love", "Now This Is How We Do It", "Inside Is A Stride", "Morning After Paradise" and more. © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.

East West (Japan), 2002. Used 2 CDs
Mad new work from Towa Tei – a stuttering blend of electro, two-step, and the kind of mixmaster production we've come to love from him! The beats are quite quirky – electronic and quickly stepping – and the range of influences at work get jumbled up even more than on some of his ... CD
Mr Scruff
Trouser JazzNinja Tune (UK), 2002. Used
Another whimsical jazzy beat party from Mr Scruff. Like earlier efforts, this one's filled with off-kilter and playful (but still groovy) samples and synth parts over nice breaks and funky drum patterns, with vocals on a handful of the cuts. Definitely from the leftfield of the spectrum, but with ... CD

Back At The Chicken Shack (with bonus track)Blue Note, 1960. Used
