Fans of Jazz Room, Jazzman and all things jazzdance floor action, get yourselves ready for this 'unique' album that's straight outta Guadeloupe in 1985! 'Women' never sounded so good.


Unbelievably, the only studio album of pianist Patrick Jean-Marie its got all for the derivations of jazz-funk dancefloor from the Caribbean, Gwoka, Biguines and more that all your US big heads used to such great effect like McCoy Tyner, Horace Silver and so many more.

And what a start for Symbole Records as DJ Mambo chick fell upon this album on a trip to Guafeloupe (sounds like something Princess Margaret might have done in the 70s) but what a fantastic re-issue and a chance to re-assess how great this album is, even if the cover looks 40 years old, the music is just as good today.

Joined by Toto Jean-Marie (bass), Erick Danquin (drums), Charly Chomereau-Lamothe and Christian Mtahurin (percussion) and Luther François magnificent on sax.  It might only be 5 tracks, 'Nikita', 'Sky 2000', 'Swing Hibiscus'  'Solange' that are all heavily Latin and the more spiritual 'Hommage'.
