Saxophonist Carlos Garnett was born in Panama in 1938 and moved to Brooklyn NY USA in 1962. He recorded with Freddie Hubbard, Andrew Hill and on Miles Davis influential funky electronic album ‘On the Corner’ in ‘72. He also played on Davis’ ‘Big fun’ and ‘Get up with it’ albums before recording five highly prized albums for the Muse label between 1974-1978. The albums include many Funky and Spiritual jazz tracks which have become Jazz Dance classics. These albums have become in demand and hard to find collectors items. All have recently been released on CD by Soul Brother Records to critical acclaim.
Jazzwise magazine wrote of his material ‘If John Coltrane had recorded with James Brown this is how it may have sounded’.
For Record Store Day 2015 Soul Brother Records have compiled a Double Vinyl LP featuring 12 of his most in demand tracks. To source all of these tracks on their original vinyl LP’s would cost in the region of £200.
The tracks have been specially selected to include all of Carlos Dance floor classics plus some of his more spiritual Jazz epics. They have been re-mastered to a high standard. New artwork has been specially created for this release to capture the essence of the music.
These tracks feature some of the best New York Jazz musicians of the mid 70’s plus incredible vocalists including a young Dee Dee Bridgewater on one of her first recordings.
This Double LP will be a limited edition of 500
