This compilation was inspired by "Jazz Juice". That it is part of the revived Blue Series is ironic. What we are doing is rounding up a vast array of jazz, soul and latin grooves from EMI's vaults.
We have monstrously rare sitar-funk on Ananda Shankar, the obscure Tina Britt's take of Don Covoy's "Sookie, Sookie" and the latin jazz extravaganza of Norman Connor's "Samba For Maria" featuring Blue Note mainstay Freddie Hubbard on trumpet.
For those amused by the quirky, the presence of Cliff Richard is around with Shadow's drummer Brian Bennett, whose "Soul Mission" is lifted from his incredibly rare "Greater London Noise" LP. At the other end of the scale we have a million seller albeit as a В side - in Bobby Gentry's Memphis soaked "Mississippi Delta"
Blue Juice - ready to pour!
