Henri-Pierre Noel – One More Step (2016)

Digitally remastered edition of this 1980 album. On moving to Canada from his original home of Haiti, pianist and singer/songwriter Henri-Pierre Noel brought with him much of the tropical island's influences. The Kompa Funk sounds of his homeland, alongside contemporary North American Jazz and Disco, ran throughout Henri's 1979 album PIANO, re-released in 2012, and now it's time for a second helping with the re-issue of 1980's dance floor friendly ONE MORE STEP, both albums having been originally released on very limited private presses and since become holy grails of the back music scene. R-mastered from the original multi-track tapes and featuring seriously foot friendly cuts like 'Afro-Funk Groove', 'Funky Spider Dance' and 'Latin Feeling', as well as firing female vocals and a plethora of percussion, Henri-Pierre Noel's sophomore LP is finally available to all.
