About this product
Limited orange colored vinyl. Tucked away from the sprawl of Los Angeles, nestled off the 605 Freeway, lies one of Jazz music's best kept secrets. A composer, renegade, and wanderer whose musical journey is gaining a second wind. Garrett Saracho has lived many lives, from being a fresh-faced signee to Impulse Records in the early 1970s to working on blockbuster films to touring with his cousins' iconic rock group Redbone decades later. But while his stories have always been pushed to the background, this next chapter finds him standing tall at center stage. As a teenager, he befriended and began playing with luminaries of the Watts jazz scene, brought together by Horace Tapscott's legendary Pan Afrikan People's Arkestra, and would go on to bring the same musicians with him to Westwood and Laurel Canyon as a UCLA college student. When he finally emerged with a record deal, it was in proper fashion- he was Impulse Records' first debut signee in several years, praised by the New York Times as Inchthe Impulse West Coast ContingentInch.

![Asha Puthli - Asha Puthli - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1b7b0c1c-5d1a-479d-bc92-74c6067ca765.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Whilst flicking through the racks at Mr Bongo's record store we curiously pulled out a copy Asha Puthli's self-titled album from 1973. Initially attracted to the striking sleeve (a classic Mick Rock portrait of Asha), we became instantly hooked upon hearing the album's opening track, 'Right Down Here'. This spark of interest in Asha and her music led to an interview and feature on our website, followed by a personal meet-up with the great lady herself. Plans for this reissue were hatched, and we are very proud to present it to you now. There are not many artists whose discography includes working with Ornette Coleman and Goblin, crafting celebrated New York underground disco classics, and being sampled by Jay Z, 50 Cent and The Notorious BIG Furthermore, there are not many artists as inspiring and creative as Asha. She played by her own rules whilst surfing genres like a musical space-cadet, fashioning a career in her own unique mold. Asha's debut self-titled album is a wonderful fusion of jazz, soul, blues, and disco. It includes an outstanding cover version of J.J. Cale's 'Right Down Here a track which Asha has made very much her own by flipping it into a deep-funk groove with sultry ethereal vocals and a drumbeat almost ready-made for samplers of the future. The record was produced in the UK by Del Newman, who had worked with Carly Simon, Cat Stevens, and Elton John to name a few. It was released on London CBS Records in 1973. Shortly after the of the record, Asha (who was born in Mumbai), was banned by the Home Office from working in the UK for a period of time due to visa issues. These obstacles along with problems with her recording contract did not hold her back. Asha moved on and continued her musical journey elsewhere. This resulted in further astounding creative works that Mr Bongo will also be presenting soon.
