Only last week (13 Jul) a teaser for the vinyl release of "Lady Love" on Expansion in August was posted. Today both sides of the original single, which was
only ever released as a promo in 1974, gets a digital release. The
Expansion vinyl singe will have a different B side which is a cover of Van
Morrison's "Moondance".
Grady Tate (14 Jan 1932 - 8 Oct 2017) was an pioneering jazz and soul-jazz
drummer and baritone vocalist born in Durham, NC who moved to NYC in
1963 to become the drummer for Quincy Jones.
He has played with many of the jazz greats including Ella Fitzgerald,
Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Jimmy Smith, Astrud Gilberto, Quincy
Jones, Stan Getz, Cal Tjader, Wes Montgomery, Eddie Harris and many
others. He was Creed Taylor's session drummer of choice .
Discogs lists 37 albums that he has featured on with around thirteen
of them solo albums between 1965-2018.
In 1974 he released a promo only single on Janus with a cover of Jon
Lucien's "Lady Love" (Rashida 1973) along with "Morning In Your Eyes". Neither of which have featured on any of his albums so the only
way to acquire them is via the original Janus promo, until now, as
"Lady Love" is being released on 7" vinyl by Ralph Tee's Expansion
Records.
Rather than the original promo flip, Expansion has gone with another
cover, Van Morrison's "Moondance" (1970) which Tate recorded on his 1974 album "Movin' Day".
The vinyl release is due in late August 2022 with pre-orders being
taken via Simply Soul now.
