Oliver Coates - Shelley's On Zenn-la - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Origin Records introduces the latest CD from the appropriately named Dynamic Les DeMerle Band. Long at the forefront of modern jazz drumming, DeMerle performs arrangements of some of the great hits and tunes that evoke the spirit of those recordings. All About Jazz said this about his last CD for Summit Records InchDeMerle plays with such power and grace as to make his quintet sound like a band three times that size... this disc is an embarrassment of riches.Inch

Spring Revisited is an incredible project from Acid Jazz in collaboration with Ace Records. It explores the musical legacy of storied New York tag Spring Records with a series of new mixes from top dance music producers, using the original master recordings. With a roster that included artists such as Millie Jackson, The Fatback Band, and Joe Simon, the tag saw it's prime in the mid-late '70s. Spring Revisited's featured mix artists include Dimitri From Paris, Joaquin 'Joe' Claussell, Kenny Dope, and Dave Lee - alongside an incredible pool of producer talent to explore this remarkable source material. More than a best-of, this compilation showcases the enduring vitality of Spring Records. Presented in a beautiful all-green sleeve, echoing the 'record pool' stylings of the vinyl singles, it is pressed on color vinyl (in the characteristic Spring theme of green and white), with sleeve-notes by Frank Tope.
