'Can You Dig It?' from Soul Jazz charts the rise and fall of "Black Action Films" from 1970-75. The Black Action Films of the early 1970s gave Hollywood its first African-American cinema - actors, directors, cameramen, editors and writers. These films discussed aspects of the African-American experience in the form of entertainment. Storylines interwove post-civil rights revolution with action stories, many involving pimps, prostitutes, drug dealers or private detectives. --- The films also featured the finest funk and soul black music of the time as stars such as James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Willie Hutch and Roy Ayers produced some of their finest work, with film budgets allowing for the addition of huge orchestral arrangements by jazz legends such as Quincy Jones, Johnny Pate and JJ Johnson. --- 'Can You Dig It?' presents the best of the killer musical soundtracks to these films alongside analysis of the social and political conditions that helped create the films. The booklet also comes with an in-depth guide to the films including many film stills. --- The vinyl edition comes on two super-loud volumes of double vinyl and includes free poster! 1. Roy Ayers — Coffy Is The Color 2. Gene Page — Blacula 3. Johnny Pate — Shaft In Africa 4. Willie Hutch — Brother's Gonna Work It Out 5. Don Costa — Charley - Main Theme 6. Marvin Gaye — 'T' Plays It Cool 7. Bobby Womack — Across 110th Street 8. J.J. Johnson — Willie Chase 9. James Brown — Down And Out In New York City 10. Quincy Jones — They Call Me MISTER Tibbs 11.
