Review Soul Jazz s excellent collection... even without the history, the importance, and the ins and outs, this music isn t as much of an intellectual pursuit as it is a pleasure in every note... tremendously tight vocal arrangements... just chock full of creativity, developing a unique sound in every single. Pitchfork --PitchforkThis stunning compile… perfectly articulates rocksteady's correlation with sweet, sweet soul music… Heart-warming, life-affirming stuff.
