Great compilation of 70s-80s soul-jazz, jazz-funk and some latin jazz, originally put in 1996 by the now-defunct Hubbub Records.
Compiled by Malachi Trout, these are mostly vocal tracks with a few jazz dancers as well, including the classics "Baltimore Oriole" by Lorez Alexandria and "What's Wrong With Groovin" by Letta Mbulu. Lots of other good stuff here, check it out.
Flageolette recently posted the equally-great Volume 2 of the series. I asked if he had other volumes then remembered that I had Volume 1 myself - pensioner moment, call the doctors ...

This vibe is right up my alley brother. This one's going in the rotation. Many thanks for another great upload.

An excellent compilation! Thanks a lot.
Simon, I've been enjoying this immensely today. All of the tracks are new to me. Sathima Bea Benjamin's Africa and Lorez Alexandria's Baltimore Oriole are particularly fine.
Very fine collection of songs. "What is wrong with Groovin" is my favourite track
Thanx!
Thanks for sharing. Gotta love Letta Mbulu

Good stuff here, and a few that were new to me such as Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble and Nicos Jaritz (especially tasty, this one).
The 2nd volume is really good too, so thanks for the heads-up on flageolette's share.

That's from Herb Geller's "An American in hamburg"; which is essentially "Rhyme and Reason" with a second disc of instrumental versions.
