Universal Sounds Of America, a compilation released on Soul Jazz Records in 1995.

Review by Thom Jurek

Universal Sounds of America is one of the early compilations for Great Britain's Soul Jazz label that made a case for a separate imprint that later became Universal Sound. Artists like Pharoah Sanders, drummer Steve Reid and the Master Brotherhood, Byron Morris & Unity Ensemble, David Durrah, New Life Trio, Marcus Belgrave, and last but not least, the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Sun Ra all on the track listing for this set focus, one way or another, on "space being the place." Numerous cuts here employ the word "space" in their titles and one references it directly...

Acid Jazz blends jazz improvisation with funk, soul, and club culture — a groove-driven sound that bridges live musicianship and dancefloor energy, still echoing through modern downtempo and chillout scenes.

Miami Sound (Rare Funk & Soul From Miami, Florida 1967-1974), released on Soul Jazz in 2003.

A much-needed look at the funky Miami scene of the late 60s and early 70s -- the new powerhouse of southern soul, after the slowdown in the scenes in Memphis and Muscle Shoals! The Miami sound was harder, tighter, rawer, and faster than that of other southern outlets -- based around a really strong ability to pick up a little riff, cook it up nicely, and create the perfect backdrop for sock-soul vocals. By the mid 70s, Miami was topping the charts with disco tunes that sprung out of this energy -- but the tracks on this set are all heavy-hitters from the pre-disco years -- kickass funky tunes that burn like a box full of rare funky 45s! - Dusty Groove

Soul Duo is an album by American jazz organist Shirley Scott and flugelhornist Clark Terry recorded in 1966 for the Impulse! label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "This is one of organist Shirley Scott's lesser-known Impulse LPs ... Although not playing with the force that Stanley Turrentine exhibited when jamming with the organist, Clark Terry adds humor and a wistfulness to the date that easily compensates" - Wikipedia
