Review: Carlos Franzetti eventually became a highly successful, Grammy Award-winning composer and producer, but back when he recorded Graffiti in 1977 he was a fresh-faced jazz musician struggling to survive in New York City. While the album sunk without trace in the United States, it became a staple of London's 1980s jazz-dance scene - hence this much-needed reissue from Paul Murphy's Jazz Room Records. It remains an excellent album of Latin jazz/funk/soul fusion tracks, with Franzetti's canny piano, synth and electric piano solos rising above brilliant backing tracks (some dancefloor friendly, others wonderfully jazzy and laidback) performed by a fine cast of musicians including Ray Mantilla (percussion), Victor Venegas (bass) and Dick 'Taco' Meza (flute, soprano sax).

Infinity (reissue)
Cat: JAZZR 006. Rel: 15 Dec 21
Nubian Queen (8:52)
Infinity (4:48)
Lovely Afternoon (7:13)
The Known Unknown (8:44)
The Angry Young Man (8:02)
Review: Vibraphonist Khan Jamal has made many fine albums over the years, though few are quite as revered within the jazz scene as Infinity, a self-released set from 1984 that has been near impossible to find for years. While Jamal's fluid and attractive vibraphone playing is given an airing throughout the album, it never dominates the sound space, with the storied members of his backing sextet - including scene legends Byard Lancaster (alto sax, flute) and drummer Sunny Murray - all being given a chance to shine. Musically, it sits somewhere between spiritual jazz, jazz-funk and Latin jazz, with hectic dancefloor numbers (see the superb 'The Angry Young Man') being joined by a wealth of deeper, more laidback compositions.

Chameleon
Cat: JAZZR 016. Rel: 26 May 22
Now's The Time (4:58)
Chameleon (9:32)
Georgia On My Mind (5:05)
Take The A Train (5:01)
Body & Soul (6:05)
The World Is A Ghetto (10:08)
Review: Jazz saxophonist Tony Lavorgna, sometimes known as Captain Bad, recorded Chameleon with the St Thomas Jazz Quartet in 1982. The title track is a cover of Herbie Hancock's classic from Head Hunters, given a fresh lick on this superlative album of incredible renditions of long time favourites. Ray Charles' 'Georgia On My Mind', War's 'The World Is A Ghetto' and Dave Brubeck's 'Take The 'A' Train' all get a look in, given a soulful treatment which goes down very smooth indeed. On the strength of these, it's a shame the group never recorded more music together, covers or otherwise.

The Power Of Feeling (reissue)
Cat: JAZZR 014. Rel: 24 Mar 22
Keep On Movin On (4:28)
Where Is The Love (4:02)
People Make The World Go Round (6:19)
Stocking Cap (5:57)
Rocky Mount Willie (4:27)
Betcha By Golly Wow (6:14)
Peace, KD (8:15)
Review: Sir Edward's The Power Of Feeling album will cost you upwards of three figures if you want to buy an original copy. Thankfully you can enjoy its delights now for a much more reasonable price thanks to this reissue from Jazz Room. The record features unheralded sax man Harold Vick as side man with some legendary Hammond men Big John Patton, Jimmy McGriff and Larry Young also on board. They all serve up a soulful jazz sound that is smooth but never sentimental, with versions of Donny Hathaway and The Stylistics tunes and a super version of the classic 'People Make The World Go Round.'

Advent (reissue)
Cat: JAZZR 018. Rel: 29 Sep 22
Dipping (5:02)
Advent (4:55)
Music & Art JD (0:26)
Find A Way (4:35)
Dirkie (6:03)
Black Label (6:15)
Arrival (5:11)
Review: This reissue from Jazz Room is one from the rather more obscure end of the jazz spectrum but it is well worthy of your time. Johnny Walker - not the same guy as the whisky magnate - recorded this one when he was touring the world with veteran jazz star Lionel Hampton back in 1982. The sounds that defined his signature are drenched in funk with fat beats powering them along. The excellent rhythm section work really shines through here on an album that was originally released on his own Private Press label.

Danny Ward & Reality (reissue)
Cat: JAZZR 027. Rel: 28 Sep 23
Rock Steady (5:13)
Affirmation (6:08)
Funky On My Back (7:05)
Get It All (5:03)
Masquerade (8:42)
God Made Me Funky (5:18)
Review: Jazz Room Records is back with another high class reissue of an album that is considered to be a grail by those who know. The story goes that back in the late 70s in the Seattle area of the Pacific North West, Danny Ward & Reality were an oft called upon funky jazz collective for anyone throwing college or hardcore funk parties. Rather than just serving up covers of the day's big hits they offered proper musical trips though more considered fair from artists like George Benson. This album catches them at their best on one such mid-week gig in the summer of 1977.
