Various Artists – The Mighty Mellow Volume 4 – Be Quiet (2LP)

It’s been a while since the last one but finally, the fourth volume of the Mighty Mellow collection is here. It is another delight from the editors of The Mood Mosaic series and this time out, they explore mushy funk and abstract jazz while featuring tracks from a diverse range of artists including Pete Jolly, Annette Peacock, Dusty Springfield and more. Across the four sides of vinyl are an eclectic mix of soulful grooves and experimental sounds that span genres and eras. It’s largely laidback, gentle funk and jazz for those occasions when you want to kick back and get lost.
