Our Take

GENE RUSSELL's "New Direction" (Remastered Edition) is a delightful blast from the past that will have you grooving like it's 1971 all over again. This album is a funky fusion of jazz, soul, and R&B that is guaranteed to get your toes tapping and your hips swaying.

From the infectious upbeat rhythms to the soulful vocals, GENE RUSSELL really knows how to bring the party to life. The remastered edition really does justice to the original tracks, giving them a fresh and crisp sound that will have you feeling like you're right there in the recording studio.

Standout tracks like "Black Orchid" and "Get Down" perfectly capture the essence of 70s funk and soul, with their catchy hooks and infectious grooves. It's impossible not to feel the urge to dance when these songs come on.

But don't be fooled by the retro vibes, "New Direction" (Remastered Edition) is a timeless album that holds up just as well today as it did back in the day. GENE RUSSELL's musical talent and creativity shine through on every track, making this a must-listen for any fan of classic jazz and soul.

So, if you're looking for a fun and funky album to add to your collection, look no further than GENE RUSSELL's "New Direction" (Remastered Edition). Trust us, you won't be disappointed. Verdict: 8/10
