Review: Japanese six piece Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro, fresh from another national tour of Australia, drop two instrumental funk tracks with the B Side plucked from their recent album Taking A Lesson From The Past. We kick off with "Lie On The Side", a JB's type uptempo groove with fantastic brass workouts and jangly rhythm guitar. On the flip "Power Of Soul", originally penned by Jimi Hendrix, is a rockier affair with frantic drums and a screaming hammond organ and the end.

Review: Of all the many cutting edge and pioneering records put out by the iconic Black Jazz label, Doug Carn's is one of the most well known and widely acclaimed and now it gets a reissue on Japan's P-Vine. Although everything he did turned to gold, this one reached even more impressive heights with Doug himself at the helm of the composition on the 1973 release. It sees him integrate Jean Carn's majestically soulful and heavenly vocals deeper into the music which was so stylishly delivered by trumpeter Olu Dara, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer Ira Williams. The standout track will always be the rapturous 'Power & The Glory' but all the rest are frankly just as good.
