Something Worth Keeping

Heads of State, featuring four of the most respected and admired jazz artists of our time, releases its first recording "Search for Peace". A band over 50 years in the making, Gary Bartz, Larry Willis, Buster Williams, and Al Foster had performed together countless times in different combinations and contexts over their storied careers, but it wasn't until September 2014 that they appeared as a quartet.

UK three CD set. In 1964, The Staple Singers signed with Epic Records after leaving jazz/blues/folk label Riverside Records. From then until the middle of 1968, they recorded six albums for the label, all of which are featured in this box. Three of these classic albums, Pray On, For What It's Worth and What The World Needs Now Is Love, are making their CD debut and this now makes virtually all of their recorded work available on CD. During the years with Epic, The Staple Singers' sound developed into the soul/folk sub-genre that came to a commercial peak at Stax Records during the 1970s.

The concept behind this album, although I do not consider it a “concept album”, is its pure form of honesty, rawness, self-expression and the subconscious reality of everyday to day life. What is it that your subconscious emotions tell your conscious self/mind? How do you feel? Why do you not always express it openly?
