  '20 GOLDEN GREATS' is the title of the next album by Hakim Jamal/Paul Ashley.
  
  It's a retrospective, covering a near-40-year career in music making  and contains material from each era of Paul's work. Mastered at the famous Abbey Road studios in London, this album is dedicated to, and in support of the children of Ukraine via payments to UNICEF. www.facebook.com/donate/247481590923584/
  ​
  You may ask 'why the title?' Although many of these songs have never been 'golden' in terms of sales, critics would agree that these songs can be considered up there with the 'greats' of modern music. And why not celebrate the career of a guy who has managed to last so long, against the odds, and having been through several record deals?
  ​
  So, what's in it?
  There are two re-recordings of songs made with Mark Brydon of Moloko for the FON label in 1986, which became demos for CBS shortly after Paul embarked on a solo career.
  ​
  There are three songs which sample and rework Ashley and Jackson songs from the 1990s, featuring musicians such as Martin Moscrop of A Certain Ratio, Gerard Presencer of The Rolling Stones and singer Denise Johnson of Primal Scream.
  ​
  There are two songs recorded with various members of The Stereo MCs and World Of Twist in the early 00's. 
  ​
  The rest of the material comprises the best of Hakim's 4 albums to date, including 'AlphabetCity' and 'Fly As The Next Guy', plus Paul's tribute to Denise Johnson following her death: 'Song For A Black Woman.'
  ​
  There are also three completely new songs, very much in the 'classic' Hakim style, inspired by 70's and 80's funk.
