Funky Mama: Hard-To-Find Roland Haynes Album "2nd Wave" To Be Reissued by Real Gone Music

September 15, 2020 By Sam Stone Leave a Comment

PRE-ORDER FROM AMAZON.COM

The deep-dive into Black Jazz Records' catalogue continues! Real Gone Music has announced new CD and vinyl reissues of Roland Haynes' only album, 2nd Wave, due on October 23.  The hard-to-find album features notable jazz sidemen like the ace rhythm section composed of drummer Carl Burnett (whose credits include Cal Tjader, Vince Guaraldi and Gene Harris and The Three Sounds), and bassist Henry 'The Skipper' Franklin (who's recorded with Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Hugh Masekela, and many others).  The star of the album, though, are the dual Fender Rhodes keyboards played by Haynes and Kirk Lightsey.  That unique blend gives Second Wave a sonic fingerprint that still sounds special today.

With original pressings long out of print and almost impossible to track down, this reissue is most welcome.  Real Gone Music promises to deliver, with music remastered by Mike Milchner at SonicVision, and LP lacquer cut by Clint Holley and Dave Polster at Well Made Music.  New liner notes have been penned by Pat Thomas, author of Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975, drawing from conversations with drummer Burnett and bassist Franklin.

There will be some exclusive vinyl color variants to look out for, as well.  Vinyl Me, Please has announced a special transparent orange with black swirl edition limited to just 500 copies.  Meanwhile, Real Gone Music's online storefront is offering a clear with black swirl color variant, limited to only 100 copies.  These are sure to sell out quickly so place your orders with the links below!

Sam Stone

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.
