I'm Always Dancin' To The Music (180g) (Limited Edition) (Light Green Vinyl) [LP]

The jazz legend Benny Golson from Philadelphia, an American bebop / hard bop jazz tenor saxophonist, composer and arranger, can look back on a long and eventful career. He has played with greats such as John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey, to name but a few. His credentials are rock solid and his skills as a tenor saxophone legend are undisputed.

With his 1978 album "I'm Always Dancin' To The Music", Benny Golson takes a unique turn. Known primarily for his hard bop roots and classic compositions such as "Whisper Not" and "Killer Joe", Golson ventures into the realm of jazz-funk and disco with this release, reflecting the musical trends of the late 1970s.

The title track is a superb dance groove that has a high profile among underground soul, funk and jazz aficionados - a truly rare "groove". Produced by George Butler, whose credentials are nothing short of impressive, it's no wonder that the instrumental hook of the title track has been sampled by artists such as Naughty by Nature, Logistics, Leona Lewis and many more.

Everything about this album - music, engineering, mastering - is top notch, which also makes it an audiophile release. This is a real hidden gem and well worth seeking out!
