Well-known for his hip-hop mixes, Mitsu takes a 20+year veteran DJ's perspective here, more often than not segueing complete tracks,as opposed to doubling and cutting breaks, for a 70+ minute trip through vintage1970s spiritual jazz that a listener can lose themselves in. Of course, beats andbreaks and funk abound here, but the emphasis of this mix lands on the originallabel's (Black Jazz) overall vibe, while highlighting the funkier edge to the catalog,one that has collectors chasing original vinyl copies to this day. This is part one ofa three-disc mix series, coordinated with remastered reissues of the original albumson CD, featuring newly-discovered photographs and artwork. Features artists suchas Doug Carn, Henry Franklin, Rudolph Johnson, The Awakening,Walter Bishop Jr., Chester Thompson, Gene Russell, Roland Haynes,Kellee Patterson and Calvin Keys.TRACKLISTING01.
