Over the past few years Dean Rudland's name has become synonymous with quality compilations that have skilfully mined the deep seams of 60s and 70s American jazz. This time he's put together 15 tracks that place themselves squarely on the 70s sidewalks of big city America. It was time when funk grooves and in particular 'breaks' were beginning to be stretched out by DJs no longer content to play three minute singles. The dancers wanted more and, at, first enterprising jocks would mix two 7"s together until eventually one club favourite, Ultra High Frequency's We're On The Right Track made it onto the now cherished 12" format. On the other side of the street, dance-floor friendly extended jazz workouts had been in vogue long before the arrival of the 12" single and it's these, bolstered by Hammond organ and wah wah guitar that provide the thread to this selection.
