The Duke Jones, Norman Connors and Samir Hall penned Urban Jungle instrumental from the Cafe Soul All-Stars album Love Pages gets transformed by Blaze and Ian Friday into yet another dancefloor winner. Ian Friday’s Tea Party Vocal mix adds a more driving beat to the mix to beef things up with Alyson Williams and Stephanie McKay’s background vocals telling us to dance the samba and groove your body to the conga. Oh and there’s the energydriven sax solo by Kenny Garrett that makes this cut so worthwhile. The Roots Instrumental is a nice tool to play around without the background vocals. And if you haven’t got a copy of the Love Pages album you can also enjoy the original mix with Roy Ayers vibes solo. Call it soul-jazz-fusion house or whatever but make sure to get the remixes!
