Prince Billy Mahdi Wright – You Got Dat Wright
Japanese P-Vine Records import copies of Prince Billy Mahdi Wright's rare soul-jazz album 'You Got Dat Wright' from 1982.
"A wonderful bit of lost spiritual soul jazz from Chicago -- recorded in the early 80s, but with a progressive and righteous feel that's very much in the 70s Strata East vein! The group's led by Billy Mahdi on tenor, soprano, and flute -- and features Corky McClerkin on piano, Eldee Young on bass, and Dave Baldwin on sax. But the real treat on the set is a trio of female singers that augment some of the best tracks -- singing in a slightly off-beat style that is somewhere between Oneness Of Juju and Ramp. And in fact, Oneness of Juju are a good comparison here -- as the album's got a lot of tracks that are kind of like that group's tighter jazz dance, less Afro-inspired numbers. Includes the spiritual classics "Tune Weaver" and "Summer Love" -- plus "Love Dream", "79th Street Blues", and "Excuse Me". " - Dusty Grooves
