This mythical and highly collectible 7 inch released on the EGG
label in 1968 is one of the best exercises in vocal jazz with funk and
soul tendencies to come out of France. The track ôManhattan
scoreö alone makes for a dancefloor sensation in its own right. A
great moment of epic groove, expertly led by pianist Burt Blakey
and inhabited at every turn by Vic UpshawÆs magnificent spoken
word and the unbridled backing vocals of the delectable Silvets.
With its impeccable beat, dynamic bass and luminous scat, here
we have the perfect archetype of the ultimate jazz/pop track that
the wordÆs most skilled crate diggers throw themselves into hunting
out from the dusty 7 inch depths.
It all winds down on the B-Side with the enchanting and intense
ôMid Summer Nightö, slow and hypnotic downtempo drift
possessed by the voice of a weightless angel. A slow
haute-couture, its place among the clouds. Not content with
whipping our every sense into a frenzy, this rare record courts
perfection from start to finish to finally hit us hard. Manhattan Trio, a
mysterious and miraculous coming together, where rhythm rhymes
with class.
