Description
Up for sale is a very rare LP copy of Jaman's 'Sweet Heritage' on Mark Stereophonic (MC 5970). The record is good shape with some surface scratches, but no deep gouges. Shipping in North America is $10, and $30 internationally. Well, thanks for looking and good bidding.
Local WNY-area release. The front cover has no artist name, the back cover calls it simply the Jaman Group, the label says Jaman Quartet - although there only seems to be FOUR guys in the group, so that's a mystery.
The main man is Jaman himself (J.E. Manuel) on keyboards, who in the past had worked with R&B bands and many people in the jazz world (Turrentines, Bostic, Stitt, Joe Farrell, Lenny Welch, Ethel Ennis, Rufus Jones). The rest of the group is Jim Kerzdorfer - bass (aka Kurzdorfer; I believe he is the bassist on the Birthright LPs also); Nasara Abadey - drums, percussion; Dhui Mandingo - congas, percussion. Assisted by Dennis Williamson - cello, James Clark - guitar, and JoAnn Crosby and Beverly Johnson Ross on vocals.
This is a beautiful sounding record with elements of straight jazz, soul/jazz, and some funky stuff including some Free and Afro-centric stuff too..... the extensive liner notes mention that the title cut includes influences from Gosple and blues. Titles include Free Will and Serene Beauty and there's also versions of One Of A Kind (Love Affair) (the Spinners) and You Are The Sunshine Of My Life. There's some great beats and breaks on here, as that's what the previous big bidders were interested in. The last track, 'In The Fall Of The Year', is a looong track with lots of percussion and a Latin vibe.
