diggin' deeper vol. 1: the roots of acid jazz

• 180 gram audiophile vinyl
• First pressing of 500 numbered copies on solid red/gold vinyl

This first installment in the Diggin' Deeper: The Roots of Acid Jazz series, which collects Funk, Jazz, Soul, Fusion, and Disco sides from the deep Columbia/Epic/Sony catalog, includes such gems as "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Deodato, Ray Barreto - Pastime Paradise, Mongo Santamaria's "Cloud Nine", Bill Withers' "Kissing My Love" and many more.

Whatever it is or isn't, acid jazz is full of groove DNA and even when chilled, it makes the feet move. This set moves and grooves from end to end, and even listeners with little interest in the Acid Jazz movement that surfaced some two decades after most of these tracks were recorded will find a great little alternative dance album lurking here.
