Eddie Russ – Fresh Out (Soul Jazz) Ltd Col LP

Product Description

Soul Jazz Records are re-releasing keyboardist Eddie Russ’s seminal debut deep jazz album ‘Fresh Out’ as a new edition on LP with digital download code (initial copies on coloured vinyl).

Eddie Russ was an important figure to emerge from the vibrant underground jazz scene that thrived in Detroit in the early 1970s, existing in the cultural and economic desolation of the city after the departure of Motown in the late 1960s. This scene included the musical collective Tribe (including members Wendell Harrison, Marcus Belgrave, Phil Ranelin, Harold
McKinney and Doug Hammond) and Kenny Cox’s Strata Records.

Eddie Russ’s ‘Fresh Out’ was first released in 1974 on the independent Jazz Masters record label.

As well as including the classic jazz dance cut ‘The Lope Song’, Eddie Russ’s ‘Fresh Out’ featured the debut of the group The Mixed Bag who subsequently recorded for both Tribe and Strata Records.

Eddie Russ released two further classic jazz funk albums in the late 1970s, ‘See The Light’ and ‘Take A Look At Yourself’.
