Brand
new Luv N'Haight series off to a bang raiding the amazing record
collection of BBC DJ Gilles Peterson.
Thousands of $'s of previously super-hard-to-find rarities from
soul to funk to jazz all on one comp.
This is the first in a series of “Digs” compilations
raiding the record racks of some of the most outrageous music
collections.
Over the years Gilles Peterson has delighted dance floors and
listeners to his radio show by joining the dots between musical
styles and eras. His record collection is so serious he keeps
it in a separate house known as Brownswood. Regular listeners
to Petersons radio show (Worldwide airs on BBC Radio 1 weekly
in the UK and is syndicated around the world) are occasionally
treated to a Brownswood Basement selection where all the records
are oldies, all on vinyl, and none have been re-issued. By popular
demand this compilation features some of the Brownswood Basement
rarities from the USA.
From the highly collectible sweet soul of Dorando to the super
rare manic breakbeat funk of 47 x It’s Own Weight this comp
packs punch. Swinging vocal jazz selections from Bobby Cole and
Baaska and Scavelli slide into ultra-rare funk nuggets from Moses
Dillard, heavyweight modal jazz from the World Experience Orchestra
and a soulful killer from JR Bailey in the way that only Peterson
can do it. We’re talking about thousands of dollars worth
of music, mostly insanely rare and previously irritatingly unavailable!
Peterson is a DJs DJ known for selecting and blending together
choice tracks from around the world regardless as to whether they
were previously obscure or well known. He also is the listeners
listener and through his show has sought out and made famous music
that might otherwise have remained unheard. And despite his preference
for quality over rarity Peterson is also the collectors collector,
able to pull out an eye-brow raising record amidst the company
of any vinyl connoisseur we know of.
Listening to each of the tunes on this compilation it’s
hard to imagine why these artists are not all household names.
Such is the ability of Mr Peterson to spot a tune. Asked if he
ever walks into Brownswood and thinks he has nothing to play,
the simple answer is “No”.
Comp includes liner notes, artist images, and quotes from Mr Peterson.
