████ ████
████ In association with DJ Amir and 180 Proof ████
████ Records, BBE Music presents æStrata Records û ████
████ The Sound of Detroit û Volume 1Æ, a new ████
████ compilation taking in just a few highlights ████
████ from the short-lived but hugely influential ████
████ jazz imprint. ████
████ ████
████ With a raft of Strata material now entering ████
████ entering the BBE Music catalogue for the first ████
████ time, joining together with already-released ████
████ gems such at the long-lost Charles Mingus live ████
████ album æJazz In DetroitÆ, we asked 180 Proof ████
████ founder and Strata catalogue curator DJ Amir to ████
████ compile a selection of tracks as an ████
████ introduction to the uninitiated. ████
████ ████
████ Over to DJ Amir to tell us more: ████
████ ████
████ I carefully selected my top-choice select ████
████ tracks that have not been already bootlegged or ████
████ compÆd in the past; from the well-known fan ████
████ favourites, to the obscure, to the previously ████
████ unreleased cuts. This is by no means an ████
████ exhaustive and comprehensive compilation, but ████
████ these are the songs that truly represent the ████
████ catalog and help to tell the story of Strata. ████
████ ████
████ I thought it would be fitting to begin the ████
████ compilation with one of my all-time favourites ████
████ from the catalog, æBeyond the DreamÆ by Kenny ████
████ Cox, a spiritual groover, highlighted with the ████
████ haunting mellotron strings and soulful vocals ████
████ from Detroit legend Ursula Walker. And I ████
████ absolutely love the ending, with the chanting ████
████ of ôVamonos Que Ya Fiesta Se Acaboö (ôItÆs time ████
████ to go because the party is coming to an endö)! ████
████ ████
████ When I originally issued the previously ████
████ unreleased album æMirror, MirrorÆ by Sam ████
████ Sanders in 2013, the track æFace At My WindowÆ ████
████ that features an unknown vocalist instantly ████
████ became a fan favourite thanks to its ████
████ hypnotising vocals and mellotron strings. ████
████ ████
████ How could I not include my all-time track from ████
████ Lyman Woodard, æSaturday Night SpecialÆ? This ████
████ track represents the best of that lo-fi jazz ████
████ funk organ groove and bass combined, again, ████
████ with those mellotron strings. And after meeting ████
████ Lyman in 2008, I became even more of a fan! His ████
████ magnum opus that is æSaturday Night SpecialÆ ████
████ began my journey to re-introducing the world to ████
████ the Strata label. ████
████ ████
████ After a chance discovery of a Strata master ████
████ with only the letters æTJÆ written on the ████
████ front, I took a chance and digitally ████
████ transferred the master. Unfortunately, the ████
████ master was in awful shape, but what I ████
████ discovered was truly a stunning recording! At ████
████ first, I thought I was listening to a young ████
████ Shuggie Otis but then I quickly realised that I ████
████ was not. TJ, armed with a basic drum machine, ████
████ guitar, and incredibly infectious vocals, was ████
████ able to communicate the pain and joy in his ████
████ soul so clearly in tracks like æTime Is ████
████ WastingÆ. ████
████ ████
████ With further tracks from Kenny Cox featuring ████
████ the Contemporary Jazz Quintet (CJQ), Larry ████
████ Nozero (saxophone player on æWhatÆs GoinÆ OnÆ ████
████ by Marvin Gaye), to the ever-elusive and ████
████ spiritual deep Maulawi Nururidin, to a few ████
████ previously unreleased gems from Ursula Walker, ████
████ Mixed Bag, and the Soulmates, hopefully, youÆll ████
████ be inspired to dive deeper into the Strata ████
████ catalog! ████
████ ████
████ Enjoy! ████
