Dee Dee Bridgewater - Afro Blue (LP) [VINYL]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.If you collect vintage 70's soul-jazz vinyl, there is a good chancexa0that you already own a record that features the amazing vocal talentsxa0of Dee Dee Bridgewater. Whether it be Roy Ayers, Norman Connors, Billyxa0Parker or Carlos Garnett - Dee Dee is the glue that fuses these artistsxa0together.xa0Although best known for her jazz work, Dee Dee has had a wonderfullyxa0rich and varied career encompassing soul, musicals, gospel, andxa0underground disco from the 70's to the present day. She is still activexa0as a vocalist, composer, and producer and remains one of our favouritexa0vocalists at Mr Bongo HQ.xa0We take things back to the early years of Dee Dee's career with herxa0debut album 'Afro Blue'. Recorded in Tokyo in 1974, the album wasxa0released exclusively in Japan via two different Japanese labels (Trio Records in 1974 and All Art in 1985 respectively). Each release hadxa0unique cover art and we have opted to present the album in its originalxa01974 form.

rr'Afro Blue' features an exquisite collaboration of American andxa0Japanese musicians, such as Cecil & Ron Bridgewater, Motohiko Hino andxa0producer Takao Ishizuka. The result is a sublime deep soul-jazzxa0masterpiece with timeless versions of 'People Make The World Go Round',xa0'Love From The Sun', and 'Afro Blue'. It is arguably one of the finestxa0albums in its genre.xa0This record has long been a sought-after item for DJs and collectorsxa0alike, so we are delighted to finally make this wonderful music from anxa0understated great available to all.
