FOUR-UM "Just Us" CD
★Limited edition★Paper jacket specification
FOUR-UM's only album, which captivated jazz and rare groove listeners with its peaceful vocals and stylish swinging band sound, is now being reissued!
This is the only album by FOUR-UM, a group of musicians based in Buffalo, NY. Recorded in 1972, it is full of immersive content, as if you were listening to their stage performances at local clubs, where they performed hits and popular songs of the time in a style featuring a female vocalist in a band consisting of organ, guitar, and drums! You can enjoy their diverse expressiveness and outstanding performance skills, such as updating Burt Bacharach's "What The World Needs Now" (M1) to a high-speed swing jazz and floor-ready version, and listening to Aretha Franklin's "Day Dreaming" (M3) with stylish jazzy vocals. This is a must-have for fans of dynamic vocal jazz such as Vince Andrews and Raphael Chicorel. In addition, there are highlights for soft rock fans, such as the cover of the free soul classic "More Today Than Yesterday" (M6) by The Spiral Starecase!
