Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis
Afro-Jaws

This 1983 cult classic Belgian Electro-Afro-fusion LP from Crammed Disc gets an overdue reissue! Constantly being (re)discovered by generations of fans, musicians and DJs, this record was once described as "Fela Kuti-meets-Kraftwerk-on-the-dancefloor!". Landmark stuff for multiple genres here!

Australia's own Left Ear Records have selected two gorgeous cuts to represent mysterious Sydney singer Justine from her unreleased 1979 album. Tinges of disco and soul grace the breezy A side, and on the flip a building ten-minute groove, sounding like a funkier Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. A deep and special piece of Australian soul recording.

Hedzoleh Soundz were one of the first and most original 'Afro' bands from 1970s Ghana, mixing traditional African music and western rock. In late 1973 Fela Kuti introduced them to South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela. Unfortunately, this record was recorded right before the meeting and was overshadowed by their joint afro-jazz classic LP 'Masekela - Introducing Hedzoleh'. The self-titled LP 'Hedzoleh' has since vanished from the public domain despite the success of the band's collaboration with Hugh Masekela... until now! Gorgeous Ghanian afro-jazz for any and all joyful occasions.
