John Lamkin: Hot

'Since the first release 5 years ago, Jazz Room Records has released an eclectic and interesting selection of releases: from the Jazzy commercialism of the Take Vibe version of The Stranglers 'Golden Brown' (5,000 vinyl single sales) to the 1960's Headshop Sounds of West Coast Fluteman Eric Ghost. Other notable releases on Jazz Room include the critically lauded album by Vibraphonist Khan Jamal 'Infinity', a compilation of Japanese tough funk fusionists indigo jam unit put together by DJ Colin Curtis, Nuyorican Latin House from Tata Vasquez, Jazz Dance Madchester Rave from Cruisic and some South African Holy Grail grooves from Abacothozi! The latest release is the Underground Latin J-Jazz of Copa Salvo, first introduced to London by DJ & Music Legend Jean-Claude. Next up is an in demand Jazz Funk Obscurity from Educator and Trumpet Player John Lamkin whose self released album 'Hot' saw the light of day in 1984 then disappeared into the Rare Jazz ether. Currently changing hands for €300 and upwards it's again about to see the light of day in 2025! This is an album that is aptly named with all the elements we love: Latin, Funk, Soul, Jazz and all round Double Hipness. What a Hot item it is too. From the Funky as it gets opening bars of 'Ticket' through the Rio bound flight '722', taking in a visit to Wonderland with some Soul Jazz Vocal stylings on 'Flower Power' and the Funkiest 17 minute Journey to Trumpet Enlightenment in the Title track 'Hot' which is, true to it's name, Scorching by the finish line is reached. Already getting Big Ups on UK Jazz Funk Scene Founder Colin Curtis's Cult Radio Show 'Jazz Dance Fusion' it's gonna be getting plenty of plays worldwide at the 'Hottest' radio stations and funkiest jazz dance nights near you soon! Ross Allen: It's brilliant!! Perry Louis: Massive! Dr Bob Jones: I Love Big Time!Colin Curtis: Killer!
