Cali-Tex Records, Shadow's personal imprint for funk and soul reissues, only squeezes out one project per year...so when something new emerges, it's cause to take notice. Announcing the release of one of the great lost soul and funk albums in Chicago music history: "Pieces of Peace." The Pieces of Peace originally recorded their debut LP for release on the Pharoahs’ Scarab imprint, but it was shelved when the band broke up in the early 1970s. Their aesthetic merges the hard Chicago sound (heard in artists such as Barbara Acklin, the Artistics, Gene Chandler, Syl Johnson and Jackie Wilson), with the spiritual jazz-funk sound built up by the Pharaohs – binding two unique sounds linked to Chicago on one visionary recording. It is the missing link within Black Chicago music, not to mention one of the last recordings featuring the mighty Pharaohs, who lent the talents of Derf Reklaw, Aaron Dodd and Willie Woods to the production. The esteemed Chicago-based music researchers Dante Carfagna and Rob Sevier, along with DJ Shadow, procured the original Pieces of Peace tape, and at long last, bring this important document of soul music to light.
