Ronnie April's Positive Energy – Volume 1
Ronnie April's Positive Energy – Volume 1 is an essential Jazz Room Records vinyl LP reissue of a legendary private-press jazz rarity.
Originally pressed by Ronnie April on his own Jude imprint and distributed only locally, the album all but vanished, with surviving copies becoming highly prized among collectors. The set has earned holy grail status in jazz-dance circles, with Snowflake long recognised as a scene favourite and one of the record's standout moments.
Composer, arranger, producer, saxophonist, clarinetist and flautist Ronnie April performed with major figures including Tito Puente, Frank Foster, Nat Adderley, Lionel Hampton and Louis Armstrong. This limited 500-copy pressing brings his remarkable Positive Energy project back into circulation, offering a rich blend of soul jazz, jazz-funk and dancefloor-ready musicianship for collectors and DJs alike.
