#mayvinylchallenge #mayvinylchallenge2022 DAY 15: BLACK GOLD- YOUR MOST VALUABLE RECORD 1977 | Tarika Blue - Tarika Blue Chiaroscuro Records #tarikablue #chiaroscurorecords @eatingstanding Bandcamp: „They say that if you’re a friend to everyone you’re a friend to no one. Well, in the case of Tarika Blue, here is an album that roundly disproves that maxim. A record that delivers to fusion, soul, jazz and disco aficionados alike, Tarika Blue’s ability to cover all these bases with equal skill is quite an achievement. The balance locked in its grooves are testament to the astonishing musical range found in the artists who perform with such aplomb.“ „Given it’s sublime musicality, the album gained cult status quickly among jazz and funk fusion fans, not least because of the guitar work from James Mason, a member of the Roy Ayers group. Mason would go on to record and release his own solo album in 1977, ‘Rhythm of Life’, that gained similar ‘Holy Grail’ status among jazz funk collectors as the Tarika Blue album.“ „The name Tarika Blue was back in circulation again around the millennium when producer J Dilla used a sample from the track ‘Dreamflower’ in Erykah Badu’s Grammy nominated ‘Didn't Cha Know’ - without the band’s permission!“ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdkp3S0sBlc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
