arthur russell - the world of arthur russel - soul jazz records - cd

Genre: Disco

Retrospective on this cult american artist. From origin he is a chello player and studied music in San Fransisco. After making a move to New York, he visited clubs like The Loft and the Gallery and met Nicky Siano and Steve D'Acquisto a.o. which resulted in a more disco flavoured output, often remixed by the likes of Levan, Gibbons, Francois K. Most, if not all of his work is very in demand now! So the tracks on this album range from folky like songs where his voice interacts with his chello to (classic) disco tracks under several guises. Tracklisting: Dinosaur L/Go bang-Francois K mix, Lola ( producer Bob Blank's wife)/Wax the van, Loose joints/is it all over my face- Larry Levan mix, Arthurr russel/Keeping up, Arthur Russel/In the light of the miracle, Arthur Russel/A little lost, Loose joints/Pop your funk, Arthur Russel/Let's go swimming-Walter gibbons mix, Dinosaur L/In the cornbelt-Larry Levan mix, Arthurr Russel/Treehouse, Indian Ocean/Schoolbell Treehouse-Walter gibbons mix. Comes with an overview of the original picture sleeves and informative liner notes.
