When We Are Together (Truth & Soul Session)

Apogee by Fawn Breaks #1

Are you here,
Are you there,
Or everywhere?
Will you fade when we all grow self aware?

And now, now my world is upside down
And now, now my world is upside down

Are you good,
Are you true,
And beautiful?
Can you prove that we're not delusional?

And now, now my world is upside down
And now, now my world is upside down

So is it make belief?
I'm wide awake,
Out of bed,
Out of mind,
And wandering

And now, now my world is upside down
And now, now my world is upside down

Cause tonight I've let you into my mind, and now I need you out
Down tonight

Apogee

The song "We Rsie" juxtaposes the cyclical, dependable rising of the sun with the impermanence of human relationships, suggesting we continue to rise and move forward even as meaningful connections fade into partial memories.

If you collect vintage 70's soul-jazz vinyl, there is a good chance that you already own a record that features the amazing vocal talents of Dee Dee Bridgewater. Whether it be Roy Ayers, Norman Connors, Billy Parker or Carlos Garnett - Dee Dee is the glue that fuses these artists together.

Although best known for her jazz work, Dee Dee has had a wonderfully rich and varied career encompassing soul, musicals, gospel, and underground disco from the 70’s to the present day. She is still active as a vocalist, composer, and producer and remains one of our favourite vocalists at Mr Bongo HQ.

We take things back to the early years of Dee Dee's career with her debut album 'Afro Blue'. Recorded in Tokyo in 1974, the album was released exclusively in Japan via two different Japanese labels (Trio Records in 1974 and All Art in 1985 respectively). Each release had unique cover art and we have opted to present the album in its original 1974 form.

'Afro Blue' features an exquisite collaboration of American and Japanese musicians, such as Cecil & Ron Bridgewater, Motohiko Hino and producer Takao Ishizuka.

The result is a sublime deep soul-jazz masterpiece with timeless versions of 'People Make The World Go Round', 'Love From The Sun', and 'Afro Blue’. It is arguably one of the finest albums in its genre.

This record has long been a sought-after item for DJs and collectors alike, so we are delighted to finally make this wonderful music from an understated great available to all.
