Keyboardist and composer Weldon Irvine is among the most celebrated
Jazz-Funk artists of all time. He was Nina Simone's bandleader for years,
and wrote the lyrics for her iconic civil rights anthem "To Be Young, Gifted
and Black". Throughout the 1970s, Irvine released a series of seminal
albums full of deep, soulful, funky grooves. The Sisters is a collection of
lost tracks and demos from his late-1970s studio sessions with fellow
Jazz-Funk luminary Don Blackman. Featuring the hit single "Morning
Sunrise" (later famously sampled on Jay-Z's "Dear Summer"), the album
contains a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks that stand up with the
best work in Irvine's impressive catalog. Courtesy of Nature Sounds, this
rare collection is finally back in stock on limited-edition vinyl. Order this
official reissue of The Sisters now while supplies last.
