This 7-inch features covers by the UK’s renowned jazz-funk band, Speedometer. The track Am I Your Woman? is a cover of the Chi-Lites classic Are You My Woman (Tell Me So) from their third album Four Flights Up, which title was inspired by a memorable night spent dancing until dawn at a club on the 4th floor of a building in Osaka during Speedometer’s 2005 Japan tour. Featuring Ria Currie on vocals, this rendition delivers a more refined groove, with Lias powerful performance truly standing out. On the B-side, youll find a cover of the killer jazz-funk track Nam M’Yoho Ren’Ge Kyo, originally recorded by the Night Blooming Jazzmen. This project was curated by jazz critic Leonard Feather and featured Mainstream All-Stars like Blue Mitchell, Charles Kynard, and Paul Humphrey. From the opening drum break to the perfectly synchronized horn phrases, this version is tight, funky, and an outstanding performance from start to finish.
