A The Harlettes– Maiden Voyage
B Fertile Ground– Spiritual War

A 12-inch jazz groove compilation released by Flower Records / Rhythm Method, curated by Toshiyuki Goto. Side A features The Harlettes' 1978 cover of Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage," a reinterpretation that brings out the modal original with powerful vocal work and a driving groove. Side B contains Fertile Ground's 2001 track "Spiritual War"—US spiritual jazz/soul by James Collins. This excellent compilation brings together two tracks separated by over 20 years, played at 45 RPM, to encapsulate the continuity of dance music rooted in jazz.
