Jazz Funk
James Mason is a keyboardist / guitarist who was a part of the Roy Ayers band in the late 1970's. His only solo album "Rhythm of Life" was released in 1977 on the Chiaroscuro Records label which has become a holy-grail on the vinyl collectors market. The album featured Narada Michael Walden, Justo Almario, Mbewe Ninoska Escobar, Gene Torres and the heavenly vocals of Clarice Taylor, amongst others. The lead track from the album "Sweet Power, Your Embrace" was a massive club tune in the 1980's Rare Groove scene and the 1990's Acid Jazz scene. In 1996, AGMPpresented the first ever James Mason concerts anywhere in the world for three sold out shows in London. An unreleased single recorded just after his debut album "I Want Your Love" b/w "Night Gruv" was issued to co-incide.
