Axelrod, David - Heavy Axe

New Vinyl Record - Axelrod, David - Heavy Axe

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in tip-on jacket. Legendary composer/producer David Axelrod's album, Heavy Axe, is a jazz-rock opus that encapsulated the sound of the mid-70s. With help from iconic players Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Cannonball Adderley and George Duke, the album moves between lush funk sounds, full round low end, and majestic orchestral flourishes that made Axelrod's sonic realm a goldmine for sample-hungry hip-hop beatmakers from the '90s to today. - First wide reissue in 20 years. Cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl
