Ronnie April's Positive Energy Volume 1

Description

« Positive Energy » by Ronnie April is a legendary release that has acquired a mythical status within the jazz-dance scene. Originally pressed on Ronnie's own label, Jude, and distributed locally with limited success, this gem of absolute rarity has become a true "Grail" highly sought after by collectors. The contagious groove and enchanting melody of the track have made it a timeless classic, even prompting the emergence of bootleg copies due to its rarity. Beyond its rare character, the music itself is exceptional and showcases Ronnie April's immense talent as a composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist. With a career marked by collaborations with jazz giants such as Tito Puente, Louis Armstrong, and Lionel Hampton, April delivers with « Snowflake » a brilliant testament to his imperishable musical legacy. The album continues with other highlights, including the excellent upbeat track « Dancer's Theme » and the beautiful enchanting composition « A Ballad For Sir James », which perfectly illustrate the diversity and quality of the soul music offered here.
