I picked up the news from the japanese iste Disk Union that Ace Records are issuing another volume of their excellent Mod Jazz series:
The intrepid Mod Jazz crowd take dance to another level, with the latest in the highly successful and critically acclaimed series that created its own genre.This time taken almost completely from independent soures, this compilation features many sought-after tracks and also some previously unreleased material from Ike Turner's Kings Of Rhythm and Michelle Harris-Spivey. There are more vocal tracks than normal and among the obscurities, several top names weigh in with some heavy mod jazz and R&B including Jack McDuff, Mac Rebennack, Googie Rene Combo and Jerry Butler.
Compiled by Dean Rudland and Ady Croasdell, it includes a highly informative booklet, featuring fascinating memorabilia and many label reproductions.
