Those nine jubilant figures on the cover of Joyous had ample cause for high spirits. Pleasure’s first two LPs firmly established the Portland, Oregon group as purveyors of a distinctive, soul/jazz sound. Joyous, a sublimely self-assured work, certainly made Pleasure fans out of a lot of people.
Joyous is a widely diversified album that reflects the band’s idea of presenting “360 degrees of music,” all the way from straight-ahead jazz to disco rock. Pleasure is simply a band that’s talented enough to play anything, and they’ve incorporated many influences into their music!
This digitally remastered edition of the 1977 album revisits a tragically unheralded band from the age of Jazz and Disco!
