Harry Beckett's uplifting jazz gem Joy Unlimited getting reissued

Check out two tracks from trumpeter Harry Beckett's Joy Unlimited album featuring Ray Russell due September 4th.

Here's the scoop...
The greatly missed trumpeter Harry Beckett has become incredibly collectable in recent times, with this album reaching significant sums, appealing to both Brit-jazz fans and the digging community after those elusive open drum breaks. The music is amongst the best he made in his career and features the funky guitar of Ray Russell in a number of superb Latin and Caribbean jazz fusion workouts. A gem and a lost classic. 

The Cadillac Records reissue with new sleeve notes by The Many Faces of Harry Beckett author John Thurlow is limited to 250 copies on vinyl and set for release September 4th. Pre-order a copy from Rough Trade right here. Listen to "Ring Within Rings" and "No Time For Hello" below.
