James Mason has been a favorite among music enthusiasts for years. The original copies of 'Rhythm Of Life' are highly sought - after and often command high prices. First released in 1977, this album is a soulful jazz - funk masterpiece that birthed some early disco classics. Mason, a talented keyboard player and songwriter, collaborated with Roy Ayers and other musicians. On 'Rhythm Of Life', you'll find Justo Almario on saxophone, Philip Woo on piano, and a young Narada Michael Walden adding amazing drum beats. Well - known tracks like the breakbeat classic 'Funny Girl' and the funky 'Sweet Power Your Embrace' are just the start. Nearly every track is a gem, including the uptempo soul of 'Free', a Ron Hardy favorite, and the jazzy 'Slick City'. Mason also went on to write and produce hits like Wuf Ticket's 'The Key'. This limited - edition, indie - exclusive release comes on opaque tan colored vinyl (note: actual color and packaging may vary). It's released under the Chiaroscuro 2025 label.
