james mason - rhythm of life - soul brother - cd

Genre: Funk / Soul

Multi-instrumentalist James Mason only made one album - but what an album it was! Often cited as one of the best fusion albums ever made Rhythm of Life was released on the tiny independent Chiaroscuro label in 1977, but it was the classic Sweet Power Your Embrace - with the wonderfully piercing ARP String Ensemble intro followed by a growling ARP Odyssey bassline - that made it such a sought after album. James Mason played guitar on many of Roy Ayers best early works and curiously reappeared in the mid-80's on New York disco label Prelude as Wuf Ticket (The Key). Apart from that his output has been minimal, but a recent 12' (the excellent I Want Your Love) .This is classic stuff. and we thank SoulBrother for reissue-'ing' this album. Album includes 'Sweet Power, Your Embrace', 'Free' and 7 more songs.
