Description

180g Vinyl LP!
Part of the Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series!
All-Analog Mastering from the Original Tapes by Kevin Gray!
Pressed at RTI!

Legendary composer/producer David Axelrod's album, Heavy Axe, is a jazz-rock opus that encapsulated the sound of the mid-70s. With help from iconic players Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Cannonball Adderley and George Duke, the album moves between lush funk sounds, full round low end, and majestic orchestral flourishes that made Axelrod's sonic realm a goldmine for sample-hungry hip-hop beatmakers from the '90s to today. 180-gram LP remastered from the original tapes and packaged in a tip-on jacket.
