“A powerful spiritual jazz-funk record with real heart and groove.”

Why I Stock This Record

This is a special one. Martin Dumas Jr.’s Attitude, Belief & Determination is deep spiritual jazz-funk with a strong message and serious musicality. The grooves are tight and the overall vibe carries a positive, uplifting energy that’s hard to ignore.

I’ve been playing this for years — it works beautifully in deeper, more conscious sets or when you want something with real substance and feeling. The remastered version sounds richer and clearer while keeping all the original warmth and power.

If you’re into spiritual jazz, conscious funk or soulful 70s-inspired grooves, this reissue is essential. Clean copy and plays strong every time. One I genuinely believe belongs in any serious collection.

Review

There's no doubt that crate-digger, record collector and renowned Discogs seller Zafsmusic knows more than most about the world of private press vinyl releases. This 12", originally pressed up in super-limited quantities by its' creator, Martin L Dumas Jnr sometime around the turn of the '80s, has long been a must-have for collectors with several thousand dollars to spare. The title track is particularly wonderful - a warm, breezy, loose and fluid chunk of boogie-soul that Zaf has slightly tweaked to suit the needs of modern dancefloors. Flipside "Nonstop To The Top" has a more jazz-funk feel, with intergalactic synths complimenting Dumas Jr's sweet vocal and conscious lyrics.
