Product description

War, the legendary American funk band known for their unique blend of Afro-Cuban, jazz, rock, and blues influences, delivered a stellar double album in 1977 with "Platinum Jazz." This ninth studio album, released under Avenue Records, is a vibrant and dynamic collection of 12 tracks that span a generous 79 minutes. The album opens with the powerful "War Is Coming! War Is Coming!" and takes you on a journey through a diverse range of styles, from the smooth jazz of "Platinum Jazz" to the upbeat funk of "I Got You" and the soulful "L.A. Sunshine." The album also features the introspective "Four Cornered Room," showcasing War's versatility and depth. "Platinum Jazz" is a testament to War's innovative sound and their ability to seamlessly blend various musical genres, making it a standout addition to their discography and a favorite among fans of funk, soul, and jazz.

This is a 1980 Reissue released as a 2LP set.

  • War's Jazz Funk Fusion

    4 out of 5 stars
    letawtipAugust 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Coś nietypowego w dyskografii War. Album wydany przez jazzową wytwórnię Blue Note, co samo w sobie jest niezwykłe. Brzmi bardziej instrumentalnie, z dłuższymi kompozycjami, gdzie funk i jazz łączy się swobodnie. Można usłyszeć luz sesji jam, ale też ambicję, by pokazać, że War to nie tylko przeboje radiowe, lecz zespół zdolny do improwizacji i tworzenia dłuższych form. Czasami medytacyjne, czasami pełne energii.

  • Groovy Vinyl Bargain

    5 out of 5 stars
    DqKocuiApril 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    You can snag this one for a bargain, and it's a fantastic set of stretched-out funk/jazz/soul tracks, light on the words, heavy on the grooves. The vinyl's in great shape too, with plenty of bass, and a rich, inviting sound that carries through each track. My copy spins clear and smooth, with just a hint of faint surface noise here and there.

  • Hidden Japanese Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    eedsig42October 10, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This Japanese double LP is absolutely fantastic. It's not widely known among many people. I'd definitely recommend it.
