MESSIN' ABOUT - Messin' About: Vol 6 [7" Vinyl]

Format: 7" Vinyl
Catalogue No.: MA706
Release Date: 29 Sep 2025
Genre: Jazz

Two landmark jazz moments neatly packaged onto one DJ-friendly 7", with drummer/band leader Buddy Rich's unmistakable 'Beat Goes On' - made famous all over again via The All Seeing I and then Britney around the turn of the millenium - taking the lead in lovely loungey style on the A-side. On the flip, Belgian alto sax virtuoso's Jacques Pelzer takes a rare excursion into jazz funk territory with Open Sky Unit, this 1974 cut blessed with a forecful, JBs-style groove as well as optimistic vocal delivery and duelling brass improv. They're not, whatever the title might suggest, messing about.
