Low Res – Heliotrophic 5 / Caravan (Jukebox Series G/G)
£5.49
This 4th release in the Jukebox Series is by far the happiest and most uptempo to date! ‘Caravan’ is a classic Duke Ellington composition which has been recorded by countless artists over the years. Knocked out by a solo trombone rendition of Phil Ranelin (reknowned for his 70’s output on the Tribe label recently reissued by Hefty, new album in 2004) at a LA nightclub, Low Res was inspired to record a version for the Jukebox. Not only are we lucky enough to have Phil Ranelin himself present on this new single, but Low Res has also recruited the Nigerian afrobeat sensation Najite to drop layers of his signature percussion, including bembe, shekere, ogenne, djembe and conga. ‘Heliotropic 5’ appeared, in slightly abridged form, on the Blue Ramen LP. A heliotrope, as you may know, is a plant which follows the sun, and it turns out that this tune is an unabashed homage to the great Sun Ra. Recommended
