Dave Grusin's soundtrack for the seedy 80s NYC crime drama The Pope Of Greenwich Village – a jazzier score than we remembered from the film! Dense, atmospheric keyboards and some 80s clubby jazz funk grooves, along with more spacious and dramatic material. Some really cool, noirish 80s jazzy sounds along with noirish touches and synthy grooves. Includes the title theme, plus "Unemployed", "Chinatown", "Bunky Dies", "For The Three Of Us", "Track Drive", "Horse Race", "Showdown", Coffee, Eddie", "Pauline And Charlie" and more. This great Quartet CD edition is expanded with a 12 bonus tracks, too! (Limited edition of 1000 copies.) ~ Dusty Groove
Contemporary chica from this hip New York combo – great sounds that echo with a really timeless feel! The instrumentation here is right on the money – bouncy percussion, sweet electric guitar, outer space keyboards, and a perfect production approach that really ties the whole thing together – and makes you feel like you've dipped into some lost collection of South American wax from the 60s! The guitar is especially nice, with some occasional surfy touches – and titles include "L'Age D'Or", "Papageno Electrico", "Number 17", "Depresion Tropical", "El Carnicero De Chicago", and "Danza Del Millonario". ~ Dusty Groove
A great set of straight jazz from Roy, recorded for Atlantic, and with a feel that's a lot edgier than some of his other work from the time! The groups on the record feature some of the hippest soul jazz players of the time – including Charles Tolliver, Jack Wilson, Joe Henderson, Harold Land, and Reggie Workman – and the feel of the material is almost a precursor to the Strata East sound of the 70s. Tracks are long and spiritual – and titles include "Glow Flower", "Ayerloom", "Virgo Vibes", "In The Limelight" and Charles Tolliver's "The Ringer". ~ Dusty Groove
