As part of our beloved Top Shelf series, Jazz Dispensary is proud to now offer an 180-gram vinyl reissue of "Heavy Axe", cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray, pressed at RTI and packaged in a tip-on jacket.
Check out the release trailer:
Legendary composer & producer David Axelrod’s solo album "Heavy Axe" encapsulated the preeminent sound of the of the mid ‘70s. With a little help from legendary players like Johnny “Guitar” Watson, Cannonball Adderley and George Duke, "Heavy Axe" crisscrosses between lush funk sounds and full, round low end and majestic orchestral flourishes that made Axelrod’s sonic realm a goldmine for sample-hungry hip-hop beatmakers from the ‘90s until today.
