This Is Mainstream! is a curated compilation from Wewantsounds celebrating the legendary Mainstream Records label, bringing together some of the most exciting jazz, soul, and funk sessions from the early 1970s. Featuring an extraordinary roster of musicians including Bernard Purdie, Billy Hart, Stanley Clarke, Joe Sample, and Freddie Robinson, these recordings capture a sound that bridged the timeless traditions of jazz and bop with the bold sonic explorations of a transformative era in music.
All tracks have been remastered from the original tapes, with most appearing on vinyl for the first time since their original release, making this a meaningful listen for fans of the genre. Filled with gorgeous Fender Rhodes chords and deep, heavy basslines, the music defines the unmistakable Mainstream sound, and the set is accompanied by liner notes from UK journalist Paul Bowler for added historical context.
