Release Date: 2023-06-23

Double vinyl LP pressing. In association with DJ Amir's 180 Proof Records, BBE is honored to present another gem from the small yet significant Strata catalogue. A precursor to New York's Strata East, Detroit's Strata Records was founded in the late 1960s by former Blue Note artist Kenny Cox. Starting life as a music-led community organization, coffee shop studio and venue, Strata released only a few titles as a record label, gaining the imprint a cult following among record collectors and jazz lovers across the globe. Possibly the best known of Strata's releases, The Lyman Woodard Organization's 'Saturday Night Special' is rightly heralded as a jazz fusion classic. Recorded in 1975, 'Saturday Night Special' features organ, electric piano and Mellotron by bandleader Lyman Woodard alongside guitar and bass by Ron English, with drums and percussion by Leonard King, Bud Spangler & Lorenzo "Mr. Rhythm" Brown respectively. Despite the fairly sparse instrumentation, 'Saturday Night Special' lays down an impressive wall of sound, powerfully atmospheric in it's almost low-fi aesthetic. Hinting at more traditional jazz, rhythm & blues, afro-Cuban styles and more, the uniqueness of this album is surely in it's feel: summoning up images of a vast industrial landscape, assembly lines and urban decay. In other words, this record sounds like Detroit.
