Muse UK reissues

[bertrand]

I see that Dusty Groove has two Carlos Garnett Muse CDs reissued under Muse/Soul Brothers (UK). Is this just some set-up Carlos arranged, or are there more Muse titles by other artists in the Pipeline?

Guess you need to ask Soul Brother.  Easy enough to find online

I was assuming someone would say it was already discussed. This must have just happened.

Three st DG, actually. Five altogether. Seems to be a niche label, wouldn't look for a broad Muse reissue program..

Soul Brother released all five of the Garnett Muse albums on CD in 2014/2015.  I grabbed all except "Black Love", which I already had on Muse CD from the 90's.  A small scattering of other Muse product was included at the time, (Dom Um Romao, one Walter Bishop, a few anthologies of other artists such as Charles Earland), and Soul Brother is, as noted, very much a niche label (a very good one at that), much more soul than Jazz.

Here's the Soul Brother UK listing on discogs: https://www.discogs.com/label/55570-Soul-Brother-Records-3?sort=year&sort_order=desc

Like felser said, they cover soul, funk, soul jazz, and other genres across many labels.  It doesn't look like they have any sort of special Muse reissue "program" (unfortunately!).

A few more examples of their reissues: Stuff by Shirley Scott (Cadet), Horace Silver (Blue Note), Eddie Henderson (Capricorn & Capitol), and Idris Muhammad (Kudu).

A solid label for those interested in the jazz/soul/funk/fusion thang(s) from that time.

“Black Love” is the only Garnett Muse I have (like you, on a 90’s CD).

Question: Do you have one or two favorites that stand out from among all five??

Absolutely do. To me, "Journey to Enlightenment" and "Let This Melody Ring On" are the cream of the crop, even above "Black Love".

Not just a label, very much an institution amongst London's record shops

Not forgetting that they did an Eddie Henderson/Gary Bartz UK tour back 10 years + ago now. A fine endeavour !

Never heard of that album before, looks really nice, thanks for the heads-up?
