New York, NY June 10, 2013—One of the industry’s more interesting qualities is its uncanny ability to produce those few innovative producer/musician/songwriter collaborations that bring a unique “something special” to whatever music project they are working on. They have an unequaled degree of persona, innovative ideas, and represent a certain unexplained vision of life and music that the masses can identify with. Not complacent with just being the front man for multi-platinum R&B Supergroup Mint Condition, Stokley Williams, known as Stokley, is adding a new chapter to his career as a Producer and this music wunderkind’s goal is to bring “the musicality back to music”.

SOULBROTHER.COM have just had a couple of great jazz funk collections in, with some great titles in fantastic condition, including some that they have not seen for years.

All items are single copies so please order early to avoid disappointment. Records can be ordered though our site, over the phone on 020 8875 1018 or collected from our shop on Putney open 7 days a week 10- 7  (sun 11-5). Happy hunting.
