Reissues

An artist of moderate success yet monumental influence, Weldon Irvine was an American jazz pianist, composer, and organist. He was a pioneer of jazz-funk fusion and served as Nina Simone's band leader. Irvine made significant contributions to the 1970s Black Arts Movement, writing over 500 songs and more than 50 theatre plays. His impact on hip hop is undeniable, from its inception to its golden era of consciousness and heavy jazz-laden sampling by artists like Mos Def and Q-Tip. In his long-time residence in Jamaica/St. Albans, Queens, Irvine's dedicated mentorship helped develop some of the most well-known figures in jazz today.
Since 2023, all works related to Weldon Irvine are controlled worldwide by [l10119].

After releasing some albums through RCA and Strata-East, Weldon Irvine returned to his own label Nodlew Records to release 'Weldon and The Kats' which was consistent with a lot of session recordings. Along with sessions in the 80s, the album has his early work 'Mr. P. C. ' recorded in 1968 with Steve Grossman (T. Sax) and Lenny White (Drums) who played in the Miles Davis band. This is the first time it has been reissued with original LP artwork!
