The Ramsey Lewis Trio – Another Voyage (1969 Cadet LPS-827) Review & Vinyl Guide

Cadet Records 1969 ‎– LPS-827

 

 notes:

Released in 1969 on Cadet Records (LPS-827), Another Voyage captures 
The Ramsey Lewis Trio during one of its most adventurous musical 
periods. Blending soul jazz, jazz-funk, gospel influences and contemporary
 grooves, the album reflects the trio's transition toward a more electric
 sound while maintaining the sophisticated piano style that made 
Ramsey Lewis one of jazz's most popular artists.

Recorded for Chess Records' Cadet label, the album features imaginative 
arrangements, strong rhythmic interplay and the elegant melodic touch 
that became Ramsey Lewis' trademark throughout the late 1960s.

Following the enormous success of The In Crowd and several 
best-selling Cadet releases, Another Voyage continued Lewis' exploration
 of modern jazz fused with soul and R&B influences, 
anticipating the jazz-funk movement of the early 1970s.

Jackie Ivory – Soul Discovery (ATCO SD 33-178)

Jackie Ivory – Soul Discovery (ATCO SD 33-178)  Rare 1965 Soul LP Review

Atco Records ‎1965 – SD 33 178

notes:

Released by ATCO Records in 1965, Jackie Ivory – Soul Discovery
 is one of the lesser-known but highly desirable soul LPs of 
the mid-1960s. Combining deep Southern soul, rhythm & blues, 
and gospel-infused vocals, the album showcases Ivory's powerful
 voice and emotional delivery during the golden age of American soul music.
Although overshadowed by larger ATCO stars, Soul Discovery has 
become a favorite among collectors seeking overlooked gems from 
the classic soul era. Original mono and stereo pressings 
remain scarce and increasingly sought after.

The Joe Cuba Sextet – Wanted Dead Or Alive (Bang! Bang! Push, Push, Push) Tico Records TRSLP-1146

Joe Cuba Sextet Wanted Dead Or Alive  Tico TRSLP-1146

Tico Records 1966 ‎– TRSLP-1146

notes:

The Joe Cuba Sextet's Wanted Dead Or Alive 
(Bang! Bang! Push, Push, Push) is one of the defining 
recordings of the Latin boogaloo movement. Released 
on Tico Records, the album captures the infectious
fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythms, soul, jazz, and R&B that
dominated New York City's dance clubs during the late 1960s.

Following the international success of Bang Bang, Joe Cuba
 continued to bridge Latin music and American soul with 
irresistible dance grooves, lively percussion, and unforgettable 
vocal chants. This LP perfectly reflects the vibrant sound 
of Spanish Harlem during the golden age of Latin soul.
Driven by energetic timbales, congas, vibraphone, piano, 
and catchy choruses, the album remains an essential 
recording for collectors of Latin jazz, salsa, and rare groove vinyl.
