Review: Emanuele Cisi - Pharoah's Message (Joaquin Joe Claussell Sacred Remixes) (Right Tempo)

We know that Right Tempo as a label are up there when it comes to spiritual jazz and jazz dance so it might not take them too long think Joaquin Joe Claussell would be perfect to remix the core track of  Emanuele Cisi's album 'Rushin''- thankfully they didn't rush it, got the very selective Claussell on board and they can now unveil 3 scared remixes to match the greats!

Like the DJ Farrapo remixes of Attilio Zanchi 'Mingus Portrait' (see review HERE and HERE) and the instant classic first release, RT 0001 PRO, 'Seasons In My Mind (Remixes)' by Yellowtail featuring Mark Murphy (see review HERE); these guys know their spiritual jazz, jazz house and Jazz Room monster fusion.

With Claussell extending the track to 16 minutes long, ‘Joaquin Joe Claussell’s Sacred Rhythm Epic Journey’ is certainly that. And the beauty of this version is the whilst icons John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders are respectfully pedestalled, your Lonnie Liston Smith 70s jazz-funk spiritual is incorporated with a love supreme.

The 'Sacred Art's Drummers Cosmic Dub' version has a 3 minute percussive heavy 'intro' alone! Mix that one DJ suspects: Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge, Kevin Beedle, Ashley Beadle, Colin Curtis, Colin Parnell, Paul Murphy et al.  

Joaquin Joe Claussell as DJ/producer/remixer has a 30+ year history of getting this right (tempo) for jazzy/Afro/Cuban/dub dancefloor so don't you just love it when a master plan comes together!  

Did someone say EPIC!
