{"product_id":"the-sixties-sessions-mono-9317102500590","title":"The Sixties Sessions (Mono)","description":"The first ever retrospective of Australia's Queen of Gospel and Trad Jazz; includes the Northern Soul classic \"You're Messin' Up My Mind\". Though forgotten by the mainstream today, Australia played host to a vibrant Trad Jazz scene in the mid 1950s-1960s. At the forefront of the early 60's scene was the dynamic young ensemble The Yarra Yarra New Orleans Jazz Band; fronted by the robust, impassioned voice of Judy Jacques.Becoming an icon of Australia's Trad Jazz movement; Judy was also responsible for introducing songs from the Black Gospel canon to Australia. This area was further explored with her next group The Gospel Four; formed after declining an offer to join The Seekers (a position, of course, then filled by her Melbourne Jazz scene contemporary Judith Durham).Jacques would also carve out a prolific career as musical performer on Australian Television before a self-imposed \"retirement\" in the early Seventies.This compilation from Playback Records draws together all of Judy's period group recordings, along with solo singles (including \"You're Messin' Up My Mind\", now considered a classic of the UK's Northern Soul scene). Newly remastered, this collection is packaged with a deluxe 32 page booklet featuring rare and unpublished photos, a definitive biographical essay and track-by-track commentary from Judy herself.","brand":"Playback Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50536730820691,"sku":"1769390X","price":19.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3507795_695920d1-7404-4427-8494-1a4f2c1f627c.jpg?v=1791963078","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/the-sixties-sessions-mono-9317102500590","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
