Detroit-via-D.C. legend Theo Parrish is well-known for his crate-digging curatorial skills, so his latest project, Black Jazz Signature, is a perfect match for the master selector. The record finds Parrish selecting and mixing a collection of rare jazz and funk platters originally released on the Black Jazz label from 1971 to 1976. (The mix was recorded straight to vinyl, in case you were wondering.) The Awakening were the only proper "group" that put out releases on Black Jazz, and "March On" is a song plucked from their second and final album, 1973's Mirage. Black Jazz Signature will be released on August 20 via Snow Dog.
