First press 2026.
If you know Strata, you know this isn’t background jazz for a wine bar. This is deep Detroit spiritual jazz, funky in places, heavy in others, all of it with that proper independent label grit. DJ Amir’s dug back into the vaults and pulled out another batch that sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Big bass, conscious energy, flutes, Fender Rhodes, the lot. It’s warm but it’s got backbone. Proper crate digger gold without you having to do the digging.
FFO: Pharoah Sanders, Donald Byrd, Lonnie Liston Smith, Roy Ayers
