Innerpeace - Rare Spiritual Funk & Jazz Gems - The Supreme Sound of Producer Bob Shad (2017)Jazz-FLAC

The Supreme Sound Of Producer Bob Shad.
During his long and successful career, Bob Shad always managed to see the big picture musically, and as a result, was always step ahead of the competition. In doing so, this allowed him to survive and thrive for forty years within the fiercely competitive music industry. This included the years he spent running Mainstream Records.Bob Shad founded Mainstream Records as a jazz label in 1964. By 1965, Bob Shad realised that music was changing, and decided to that Mainstream Records should release a much wider and eclectic selection of music. This would include rock music. For the next five years, Mainstream Records’ new roster proved popular and profitable. That changed in 1970. When the label went into the red, Bob Shad decided to relaunch Mainstream Records.The newly relaunched Mainstream Records would feature a newly designed label and would release just jazz albums, and even the occasional single. Bob Shad had devised a criteria for the albums he was willing to release. They had to be traditional jazz albums. Bob Shad wasn’t willing to release albums that featured synths and electronics. Soon, he realised this was unrealistic as fusion’s popularity was on the rise. The new policy didn’t last long. Another change was that Mainstream Records began to release soul and jazz.That came as no surprise. By then,there had been a blurring of the lines between what was soul and jazz. Even critics and record buyers were confused. This blurring of the lines resulted in Mainstream Records’ musical policy changing, and the label releasing a much wider selection of music including the eleven tracks on Innerpeace-Rare and Spiritual Funk and Jazz Gems
