Elements Of Life

CD (Item 557156) Vega, 2004 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
Louie Vega breaks out with an amazing solo album – still very much steeped in the soulful voice of his Masters At Work recordings, but also with a strong voice that's all his own! Of course, Louie's not alone in the proceedings – as he gets help from Blaze, Ursula Rucker, Domingo Quinones, Raul Midon, Anane, and others – all of whom come together with Louie in one of the most joyous albums we've heard in years! The set's a real celebration of life and groove – filled with the optimistic, almost-global spirit of work in the New York/Spiritual Life mode – breaking down boundaries, cultures, and colors with a sunny approach that makes everything right in the world – not just in a club at 2am, but waking up the next day, imbued with a fresh outlook on life. Wonderful stuff, and with tracks that include "Brand New Day", "Jungle Fever", "A Better Day", "Tu Y Yo", "Summer Night In Spanish Harlem", "Nos Vida", "Africa/Brasil", "Quimbombo", "Canto Para Chango", and "Sunshine".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Used CD Grade

We use the all-encompassing grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

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 describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or packaging details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the CD. This might include, but isn't limited to, scratches, tracks that skip, case/insert damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

New Blues
Exceptional (UK), 2005. Used
A really unique little album from Ernesto – a singer that we know from his work on other projects, but who emerges here with a really unusual sound on his own! At one level, the album shares styles with some Ernesto's contemporaries on the 21st Century Soul scene – and sometimes has a ... CD
Irma (Italy), 2002. Used
Warm funky grooves from one of Irma Records' greatest acts! Gazzara has a great talent for mixing the soul of the older Italian scene with the bossa sunniness of recent years – and this delightful set is a jazzy blend of beats, keys, and percussion that more than lives up to their earlier ... CD
