Movies like TNT Jackson, Cleopatra Jones, Foxy Brown and Black Mama-White Mama all had attitude. Their stars: Pam Grier, Tamara Dobson and Jeannie Bell were bold, brassy and original. Orin Swift's Machete, with labels by the Caitlin Mitchell Studio, has a bit of that style too. And like Melvin Van Peebles provocative classic, Dave Phinney's Petite Sirah-led cuvée is a big and brawny study in Baadasssss.
