Reissue of Eddie Russ’s seminal album Fresh Out Soul Jazz Records reissues jazz pianist Eddie Russ’s debut album, Fresh Out, recorded in the Motor City, Detroit. A limited edition of 1000 coloured vinyl copies worldwide (+ download code) and a CD edition. Eddie Russ was an important figure in the vibrant underground jazz scene that thrived in Detroit in the early 1970s, existing in the cultural and economic desolation of the city after the departure of Motown in the late 1960s. This scene included the musical collective Tribe (whose members included Wendell Harrison, Marcus Belgrave, Phil Ranelin, Harold McKinney and Doug Hammond) and Kenny Cox's Strata Records. Fresh Out was first released in 1974 on the independent label Jazz Masters. In addition to including the jazz classic "The Lope Song", Fresh Out featured the debut of the band The Mixed Bag, which later recorded for Tribe and Strata Records.
