Taste - Got To Get Better - Taste : 8401 (45s)
We did tip this Ohio rarity way back in 2017 when Soul Sam added it to his legendary DJ box, advising you to catch this rare 80's indie dancer, on its way up!
Now 8 years later a few more A-list DJs are championing “Taste” in their rare Modern Soul/Boogie sets. Dave Ripolles, Dieter Platten and now the intrepid Andy Burns has joined the ranks of “Taste” appreciation.
After experiencing the overwhelming vibrancy of Andy Dawes’ Modern Soul odyssey in the King And Queen Pub in Brighton this weekend, I’d say rare Boogie/Modern is currently experiencing a torrent of dynamism. What a breathtaking night it was, presenting the perfect mix of rare dance anthems and obscure unknowns, plus rarities in the vein of “Taste”. A record that is starting to get noticed after snoozing for a few years, hampered by only a handful of Jocks being able to spin it.
Check out the short slow intro, lifting into a feelgood vocal group D.I.Y. dancer, of the highest order.
A strong jazz slanted male lead vocal is joined by a silky girl-group chorus, whist a piano sends out a dance-rhythm that builds throughout this spirited session constructing a super dance tune you would think came from a major label studio, such is the quality of the production. With an ingenious end to the session with that impressive lead vocal finishing of with a wonderful display, with a magical moment of "scat", his vocal emitting "Jazz nonsense" so exquisitely. The song elevates yet again, for one last time, as the girl group and the lead voice melt into each others space.. as the back-beat and the piano softly plays it all out..
A fantastic tune now supported by a few of the “right” rare modern dance influencers.
