뉴욕 힙합 아티스트들의 멘토 같은 존재로 7-90년대 재즈, 힙합, 훵크신의 혁명가인 #WeldonIrvine 의 레어그루브 타이틀이 전격 리이슈되어 돌아왔다. 재즈-훵크 명작 중 하나이자, 그를 퓨전 계열의 선구적 존재로도 거듭나게 한 데뷔 앨범 <Liberated Brother>, 재즈-퓨전 레어그루브 마니아들의 성지 Strata-East 에서 발매된 <In Harmony>는 70년대 재즈 팬들이라면 필수. 더불어, 그의 디스코그래피 중 가장 구하기 힘든 레어작 중 하나로서 Marcus Miller, Tom Browne, Lenny White 등 퓨전 재즈 거물들이 대거 참여한 <Weldon & The Kats>의 재발매는 이번 리이슈의 하이라이트라 볼 수 있다. 퓨전 재즈의 참 맛을 느끼고 싶은 리스너에게 가장 완벽한 선택이 될 것. 적극 추천!
