"You might have heard that the Souljazz crew's been hard at work on a brand new orchestral soul project, Slim Moore & the Mar-Kays, backing dynamite Jamaican-Canadian singer Slim Moore, along with our boys Nick Dyson and Donovan Willis.  The band's got a killer record coming out on October 4th, don't sleep on this one (it's massive: full string section, gospel choir, whacka-whacka Shaft guitars, fuzz bass, trombone burps, out-of-tune piano, breathy flute, inappropriate bongo solos... what else can you want really?)"
