James Mason: Rhythm Of Life (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP
James Mason has been big with diggers for years.Ā Original copies ofĀ Rhythm Of LifeĀ tend to go for astronomical prices and with good reason. First released in 1977, the album is a masterpiece of soulful jazz funk that gave birth to a few early disco classics.Ā MasonĀ was a keyboard player and song writer that worked withĀ Roy Ayers, amongst other musicians. A few Ayers associates are featured onĀ Rhythm Of Life,Ā Justo AlmarioĀ on saxophone andĀ Philip WooĀ on piano, along with a youngĀ Narada Michael WaldenĀ who adds some excellent drums to the record. The most known tracks are the breakbeat classic "Funny Girl," and the funky grooves of "Sweet Power Your Embrace." Don't stop there though, as nearly every cut is a winner. Check the uptempo soul of "Free," aĀ Ron HardyĀ favorite, and the jazzy "Slick City." Quality material from end to end. Mason would go on to write and produceĀ Wuf Ticket'sĀ boogie disco classic "The Key," as well as the proto house of "Nightgruv" and the slo-mo boogie soul of "I Want Your Love." Recommended.
