Rob Day Snowflake is a jazz dance classic but this is also one for the deep disco heads….theres a Freeez vibe going on here and there. Amazing stuff thanks for getting it back out there! 🙏

Phil Horneman One of my favourite hyper jazz-dance tracks which I will never stop dropping in my DJ-sets. Big up to Paul Murphy for reissuing this gem. Favorite track: Snowflake.

Daniel Schmitt What a great re-release! The original is priceless or unavailable, so BIG UPs to Paul for re-releasing this rare gem. Favorite track: Snowflake.

peter j warlow Loved this album for years but never been able to land a copy until now.
Excellent reissue. Favorite track: Snowflake.

about

THE legendary release by Ronnie April's Positive Energy, pressed by Ronnie on his own Jude imprint and distributed only locally by him without success, leading to the disappearance of all but a few copies. An impossibly rare holy grail which has changed hands in the past for as much as £300! "Snowflake" has been a stable of the jazzdance scene for years and the track was even bootlegged at one point! Most importantly, the music is amazing - composer, arranger, producer, saxophonist, clarinetist and flautist, Ronnie April has performed with many greats such as Tito Puente, Frank Foster, Nat Adderley, Lionel Hampton, and Louis Armstrong, to name a few. It's a limited pressing at 500 COPIES ONLY.

Excellent take on Joe Mcphee's 1971 original. Insane sax and keyboards drive the groove. Stronky retro + avant-garde = Defiant Jazz. Tony_Poole

Danny Ward & Reality add the Funk Vibes to a top notch book of tunes that really did Ride the Vibe back in the day. Some ace 70's Jazzing Grooves with nods to George Benson, Lydia Pense and Funkiest of all The Headhunters. What the Jazz Room is all about. Paul Murphy

Super production & the journey is wonderful. Once obscure & hard to find Danish jazz-fusion album from the 1980. Getting plays at the time from Gilles Peterson in London & Dr Bob Jones in Essex. Now re-released in all it's glory on Paul Murphy's Jazz Room Records. Such a welcome re-release oozing QUALITY. Love big time.. DrBob Jones
