The return of the successful Mod Jazz Series that has not only invented and codified a sound, it has made it popular. Jazz that is accessible, touching on its blues, soul and latin influences while always having a danceable beat. It includes the super-rare, the well known and the previously unreleased.

Here are a couple of impossible-to-find tracks in the form of Troy Dodds’ ‘The Real Thing’ and Jesse Davis ‘Night Bloomin’ Jasmin’’. Both are B-sides of super-expensive Northern rarities, but are excellent Mod Jazz tracks in their own right. We’ve chosen five previously unreleased cuts, including a stunning organ version of ‘Whose Afraid Of Virginia Wolf’, a future R&B monster from Floyd White and a great boogaloo from Dave Hamilton.

Screaming Hammond comes from Jack McDuff and Reuben Wilson’s hard-to-find debut 45 ‘Rod Run’. There are also bluesy jazz vocal performances from sought-after records by Toby Lark, Billy Larkin, Little Bob and Clint Stacy with a terrific version of Oscar Brown Jr’s ‘Work Song’

Mod Jazz classics range from Buddy Guy’s ‘Fever’ , Byrdie Green’s ‘Return Of The Prodigal Son’, Johnny Lytle’s ‘Village Caller’ and Mark Murphy’s wonderful dodgy bossa ‘It’s Like Love’. All put together by Ady Croasdell and Dean Rudland.- Ace Records
