Soul Media formed in 1969 with a clear jazz-rock agenda, but this 1973 session pushes that idea somewhere sharper and more physical: jazz takes the lead, rock is streamlined into edge and attack, and funk supplies the album's drive. That balance matters in the story of the band, because contemporary notes describe it as the record that set Soul Media on the road to \u003cem\u003eFunky Stuff\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes \u003cem\u003eIn The Groove\u003c\/em\u003e so rewarding is the way it refuses to sit neatly inside one category. The music is often framed as Jiro Inagaki's answer to The Crusaders, a group he was closely following at the time, and you can hear that ambition in the album's blend of toughness and polish. Cuts such as \"That's How I Feel,\" \"Put It Where You Want It,\" and \"Papa Hooper's Barrel House Groove\" point to a band chasing groove with real precision rather than simply adding funk as surface colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors, this Pure Vinyl edition also explains why the record keeps drawing attention beyond Japan. Issued by Nippon Columbia as a Japan import, it presents a much-loved Soul Media title in an audiophile-minded pressing that emphasizes clarity, stability, and the album's crisp, cutting ensemble sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLP, 180g, Pure Vinyl, Black Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapan import on Nippon Columbia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed on uncolored virgin vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 That's How I Feel\u003cbr\u003eA2 Blue Blood\u003cbr\u003eA3 It's Impossible\u003cbr\u003eA4 Put It Where You Want It\u003cbr\u003eA5 Crazy Medicine\u003cbr\u003eB1 Joie De Vivre\u003cbr\u003eB2 Papa Hooper's Barrel House Groove\u003cbr\u003eB3 Thrill Is Gone\u003cbr\u003eB4 Raven Speaks\u003cbr\u003eB5 Samba Chimba Reviews (No reviews yet) Write a Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Dutch Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44502017278017,"sku":"3656971","price":88.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/1-jiro-inagaki-and-soul-media-in-the-groove-pure-vinyl-edition.webp?v=1788216009","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/jiro-inagaki-his-soul-media-in-the-groove-382101","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
