Strut take up again their re-issue program of the ’70s catalogue with Oneness Of Juju, one of the most groundbreaking bands of their time. From ahead of schedule avant-garde jazz work on the Strata East mark to their later fusions of Afrobeat, funk and spritual jazz, Oneness stand as a huge influence for today’s jazz scene. Released in 1976, The African Rhythms album is Oneness Of Juju’s masterpieces. Bandleader J.

Topped by the soaring vocals of Jackie Holoman-Lewis, the Oneness sound became a tight, supremely soulful outfit.
