Gil Scott-Heron and multi-instrumentalist, song-writer and composer Brian Jackson’s 1978 Secrets sees the pair adopting a contemporary sound palette of synths and a pared down aesthetic to produce this beguiling, late-night set of conscious soul grooves. Featuring some of Scott-Heron’s most affecting songs, “Three Miles Down” and “Angola, Louisiana” for example, pair tragic lyrics with languid late ’70s synth-soul, lightened by Jackson’s jazz flute and a solid rhythm section. It’s a slicker sound than some of GSH’s jazzier albums, but it’s a memorable set that is intimate and full of warmth.
