Description
This week’s mix dives deep into R’n’B-rooted American disco and jazz-funk, with The Players Association’s Turn The Music Up at the center of the story. You’ll also hear heavyweights like Herbie Hancock with the sparkling You Bet Your Love.
On the jazz-funk/fusion side, I’ve pulled in Goody Goody (Vincent Montana Jr.’s fusion project for Atlantic), George Benson, and Alfredo De La Fe, balanced by big dancefloor favorites of the era such as Gene Chandler’s Get Down and Sister Sledge’s unstoppable He’s The Greatest Dancer.
There are also some deeper cuts in the mix: the rare Tom Moulton mix of Stephanie Mills’ Put Your Body In It and John Morales’ elegant rework of Jean Carn’s Was That All It Was.
