Originally released in 1976 ‘See The Light’ was Eddie Russ’ 2nd album and has been issued here with superb sound quality. ‘Zaius’ is a magical track that has retained its popularity and one of the genre’s best ever track – a jazz dancer’s delight! The uptempo cover of EWF ‘See The light’ really kicks and ‘Poko Nose’ is another funk groove oriented track, whilst ‘Stop It now’ is a disco dancer. Classic, essential Jazz Funk!

JK GROUP IS: A collective of forward-thinking "jazz" musicians from Australia. We owe our thanks and gratitude to the founding mothers and fathers of the music people call jazz. We respect and continuously study their legacy whilst embracing our current surroundings in making music that honestly reflects our time and space.THIS RECORD IS: The second batch of tunes we hit record on, though the sessions could not have been more different to the first. Where The Young Ones was meticulously planned, this recording was made on a whim as the busy touring musicians happened to line up their respective touring schedules at the same time. Many of the songs were just sketches, musical experiments that were leaping off out of the territory of the first record and pushing the sound in a number of different directions at once. Some tunes were still in progress right up until the moment of recording, and one was written on the spot in the studio. There was no focus or talk of outcomes for a future release. As with all experiments, some songs did not make the cut. But the selections that have made it onto this vinyl really capture the magic and spontaneous energy of the session with the musicians in full flight, in sync. We welcome Phil Stroud to the collective to offer up a rework of one of these tracks, and further deepen the dialogue between jazz and electronic music.
