On the album Shadow Dancing (originally released in 1985), you can hear the musical versatility only an artist like Azar Lawrence can deliver. Next to his trademark jazz sound, this album is filled with funk, soul and boogie influences. If you’re looking for THE perfect mix of synth filled boogie & jazz-funk where the Sax takes the center stage…then this is a highly recommended gem for your record collection (and a must-have for seekers of rare grooves).Also featured on these recordings are some serious all-star guest musicians from the likes of Oren Waters (Herbie Hancock, Curtis Mayfield), Roy Galloway (Jimmy Cliff, Gladys Knight), Fred Johnson (The Temptations, George Clinton), James Gadson (Bill Withers, Quincy Jones), Leo Nocentelli (The Meters, Maceo Parker), Marlo Henderson (Gil Scott-Heron, Ahmad Jamal), Denzil Miller (Kurtis Blow, Diana Ross) and Eddie Brown (Stevie Wonder, Dennis Coffey).Tidal Waves Music proudly presents the FIRST ever vinyl reissue of this fantastic album (originally released in 1985 on Riza Records). This rare record (original copies tend to go for large amounts on the secondary market) is now finally back available as a limited 180g vinyl edition (500 copies) complete with the original artwork.

Introducing Pachakuti and young.vishnu! “Semilla” is the first teaser from an exciting new project by multi-instrumentalist Pachakuti and producer young.vishnu.Although only 2:22 minutes short “Semilla” catches the listeners mind and soul completley and utterly. Over a laid-back rimshot groove chopped by young.vishnu, Pachakuti is having a conversation on rhodes & saxophone.“Semilla” can be labeled as jazz funk and we believe that beat lovers will dig it as well. At the same time, “Semilla” only shows one root of the musical vision of Pachakuti and young.vishnu who are fusing hip-hop, jazz, latin, funk and soul with strong messages about politics, identity, globalization and neocolonialism.
