Continuing with the Sunday jams

A go to compilation for me for bar work and radio has always been Donald Byrd – The Best Of Donald Byrd (1992) on Blue Note. One of those records you can rely on every time, full of warmth, groove and soul.

Today’s selection is Think TwiceOriginally featured on the 1975 album Stepping Into Tomorrow

Arranged and produced by Larry Mizell and Fonce Mizell, bringing that unmistakable Mizell Brothers sound that defined a whole era of jazz funk and soul.

For years I was always a bit unsure about the female vocals on this one, part of the magic really, that slightly mysterious touch that just sits perfectly in the mix.

I was put onto this record by @davidphillips72 Dave Phillips, one of my musical mentors back in the Atmosphere FM days. One of those moments where a tune sticks with you for life. Thank you David ❤️

Enjoy

Such a killer jam.
That classic Philly blend of soul, groove, and message. Timeless stuff.

Words from discogs review by Dave soul (respect to the Atmosphere FM family) 
It was 1993 and we (sadly) all still lived with our parents.
Steve came over to my mum’s house in Ilford (respect) where we wrote and recorded “Wake Up World”. I had stolen a children’s poetry record from Ilford library : ( which was read by a famous African American actress whose name escapes me, giving us the spoken word vocal. Steve and I collected records like crazy and we added a George Benson sample for the looping string part and then a well know 70’s soul singer for the break beat. We played it to Peacefrog who asked for additional tracks to make an EP. This time, we recorded at Steve’s parents house and we were joined by my brother lan Phillips (double respect). At Steve’s, we jammed out
“Day World” and “Artificial World” as a trio.
The heyday of Essex techno when tracks were recorded in bedrooms with many a cup of tea supplied by various mothers. Salute to the moms of Steve Pickton, Nuron, Paul Smith, Ben Sims and the mighty Tony Esch.
I got this copy direct from Steve BITD. #waybackwhen88 #peacefrogrecords #atmospherefm #familyatmosphere
