A Fantastic and rare Soul Jazz album recorded in Adelaide ( Australia) in 1976 . Originally pressed on Crest records and fully licensed by the Hot Casa team to reissue it on a deluxe 180g vinyl .
Sue Barker is jazz singer from the 70s and one who isn't afraid of picking up a bit of soul . Most of the album features covers from Duke Ellington to Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield or even James Brown!
Actually this is more than just a vocal album , there's a lot of space for instrumental solo from her top Adelaide musicians team .
She gets hip small combo of seven musicians backing that match all the right inflections in her vocals jazzy when needed, more southern soul at other points often with more of a 60s acoustic mode than the sorts of more-electric and groovy instrumentation other singers of the time were using. Arrangements are by Grahame Conlon, the guitarist in the group.
A classic soul jazz album finally available to everybody
