| Style Council keyboard ace Mick Talbot is joined by Chris Bangs for an update of the Nite-Liters' & MFSB classic "K-JEE" |
Here's the scoop...
Bangs and Talbot get back to business with a stonking new 45 for 2025 - their take on the instrumental classic ‘K-JEE’. Out October 1st.
Originally by US band the Nite-Liters (an instrumental precursor to soul act New Birth), this classic track has been a club favourite for decades. It was later covered by MFSB and included in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
Taken from their forthcoming album on Acid Jazz, this latin disco funk flavoured jam "K-JEE" is written by Motown hit producer Harvey Fuqua and Charles Hearndon. It features Mick Talbot (formerly of The Style Council) on Wurlitzer, organ and piano, ably assisted by German funk guitarist Felix Fraenkel, Italy’s Donato Greco on flute, brass from California’s Dan C, and drums, percussion, and bass from original Acid Jazz DJ/producer Chris Bangs.
On the flip is a Mick Talbot-original ‘Re-Micks’ from the ‘Back to Business’ sessions, which gets a heavy duty live boom bap rework by hip hop pioneer DJ Premier Inn.
Presented on black vinyl in a new colour version of the current Acid Jazz house-bag, with labels reminiscent of the classic RCA design for an authentic ’70s touch which fans of the original Nite-Liters single will appreciate.
You can pre-order Bangs & Talbot's update of "K-JEE" via Bandcamp right here. Have a listen to the Nite-Liters' classic version of "K-JEE" followed by Bangs & Talbot's update and the single B-side "Re-Micks" below. Also, cheers to Mick who turns 67 on Thursday (September 11)!
