 | | Description: | Magical, mystical, Afrocentric, progressive â?? words that could be used to describe any number of musical compositions by Sun Ra or his cosmic brothers and sisters, from John to Alice Coltrane, early â??70s projects on record labels like Detroitâ??s Tribe or Houstonâ??s Lightinâ?? or the interests of one Washington, DC native named Jimmy Gray that centered under one, perfect moniker: Black Fire. Gray spent nearly three decades pushing boundaries as a Black American promoter, distributor and, finally,
record label owner. Together with Oneness of Jujuâ??s leader James â??Plunky Nkabinde â?? Branch, Gray oversaw sixteen releases on Black Fire Records between 1975 and 1996.
These are the definitive reissues of five of the labelâ??s key titles; all were lacquered â?? most directly from master tape - by legendary Los Angeles mastering engineer Bernie Grundman,
With this set, Oneness Of Juju and Black Fireâ??s story burns forth into its fifth decade, its message not tempered, its sound pure. Itâ??s cycle, once again, complete. - "Space Jungle Luv (Reissue)" is a re-release of the iconic 1976 album by Oneness Of Juju, available in LP format from Strut / Indigo. This record stands as a landmark in spiritual jazz-funk, blending Afrocentric rhythms with cosmic jazz explorations and soulful grooves. The album features hypnotic percussion, soaring saxophones, and deep funk basslines that transport listeners into an otherworldly soundscape. Oneness Of Juju, led by saxophonist James "Plunky" Branch, has been celebrated for their innovative fusion of African musical traditions with American jazz and funk sensibilities. Over the decades, they have earned acclaim for albums like "African Rhythms," influencing generations of musicians across genres. Strut Records is renowned for its high-quality reissues and compilations focusing on rare groove, world music gems, and dancefloor classics'making them the perfect label to bring this essential work back to vinyl collectors worldwide. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
