Review: Dan Jose presents Larry White Vol.3 (Mushman Records)

Digger or not, there is no way on earth that anyone can not spot a Barry White vocal or his Love Unlimited Orchestrations, which makes Dan Jose's 'tribute' even more impressive as he brings a deep love of beats to some of the best of the disco/soul legend.

Now on Vol. 3 (and you'll want to check out the earlier ediitons) this is just a fabulous 're-imagination' of Bazza's top tunes that received the

assistance of some names like Hector Plimmer (Albert's Favourites), Arthur Sajas (Total Refreshment Centre - one of Emanative's favourite hang outs), Fergal McBride (The Rayvelles), Ryan Galvan, Dusty Ohms Bay Area.

Back in the day, there was a R.E-edit series that put some of Barry's productions to the sword (well edit anyway) and that's when I realised that we shouldn't be flicking through Barry's back catolgue in the chazzas/thrift stores and taking this music more seriously than his one global hit.  Dan, has taken this concept one step further with a re-birth as Larry White on the MPC.

Recorded in the Bay area and London (and why not) what with Luke Beat'sequally impressive 'Cream' (see review HERE), this this a new (49er) golden era?
