Sunrise Ltd.
Until My Love Returns
on Pizazz

My all time favorite jazz record. To me, it sounds like a funk band playing jazz, others seem to side with spiritual jazz. The LP is a private press, recorded in Detroit circa 1980, and not many copies are in circulation, aside from the one or two anomalies on eBay every few years or so. The record also has a great cover of Charles Earlands' Cause I Love Her along with 4 other smooth tracks, but nothing in comparison to the epic, Our Love Will Grow.

Let’s analyze this song. In my opinion, all epics have something fresh that makes them stand out. In this case, it’s the drums and the saxophone solo. The hip hop beat with the fast hat that keeps the track flowing until finally the sax kicks in and you get uplifted. Finally, it finishes off with a short verse. Simple and clean, yet it stands out from anything you have ever heard. This is my definition of an epic.

I have to admit that I don't actually own this record and its one of my life goals to have it in my possession. I would like to thank Wilson at Rehash Media , who actually does have a copy in his possession, for sharing it with us. Wilson was also generous enough to send me a sample CD containing 4 of the 5 tracks. As soon as I received the CD I instantly uploaded the songs to my web server and I’m pretty sure that those were the only full samples of the record that existed online. Unfortunately my web server has since been shut down and the CD is no longer in my possession. I felt obligated to pass it on just as Wilson did.

Please, sit back and enjoy the tunes and don’t be shy. Comments are always welcome. Also, if you’re still in the mood, feel free to check out Wilson’s amazing collection of vinyl at Rehash Media.
