Candido - Beautiful


A beautiful bit of Latin funk — and one of the rarest albums ever from the mighty Candido! The album's one of the first that has Candido stepping out of the straighter Latin jazz mode of earlier years — working with a funky lineup of players arranged by the mad genius Joe Cain, and going for a mixed electric/acoustic sound that reminds us of Mongo Santamaria's best work — only a heck of a lot funkier! In addition to killer conga licks from Candi, the album features some really heavy guitar and organ lines, plus some good choppy sax work — wailing away with a really solid soulful sound. Imagine Booker T & The MGs working in Spanish Harlem — and you've got part of the picture of this one!

Candido - Drum Fever


One of Candido's funkiest albums! The record's got a similar sound to Candido's great albums for Blue Note and Solid State — with short, hard funky tunes that have a really great 70s edge! Chico O'Farrill did the arrangements, and the record chops along nicely with some very funky tracks that feel like they were lifted from a blacksploitation soundtrack — conga mixed with great keyboards, wah wah guitar, and tight blasts of horns in just the right bits! The whole thing's a killer — filled with heavy funky 45-type numbers. Very nice!

Ginger Baker's Air Force 2 (1970)

- Clique Aki:

Ginger Baker's Air Force


Out of the wreckage of Cream came some very hip grooves! Ginger Baker was the hippest of the group's 3 members. He should also get a hats off for his work with the group Air Force — essentially a 10-piece (which seems to have been expanded beyond even that number for this set) that came up with some of the most monstrous jamming we've heard! At its base, the group's in the jazz rock mode — with players that include Brit jazz luminaries Phil Seamen, Harold McNair, and Graham Bond, plus rockers like Baker, Steve Winwood, Denny Laine, and Rick Grech. The tracks are all long groovers in a post-beat group mode — and the best tracks have a jamming sound that's pretty over the top! It's full of the propulsive, Afro-influenced bass and percussion, some wild, jazz funk flute and sax, plus amazing work on violin, guitar and occasional, ephemeral vocals. Awesome stuff — one of the best and most innovative live albums of the era!

Brazilian Groove Band - Anatomy Of Groove (2009)


Artist: Brazilian Groove Band
Album: Anatomy Of Groove
Label: Far Out Recordings
Release date: 19 Oct 2009
Genre: Jazz
Style: Jazz-Funk / Latin Jazz
Format: mp3 320kbit

10. Hip Baiao

"Anatomy of Groove" is the previously unreleased Leo Gandelman NYC studio band project from renowned musicians including Reuben Wilson and Grant Green Jr. Far Out Recordings have rescued this swinging instrumental jazz funk record, which blends vintage New York brass and smoky jazz with the deep bass, heavy drums and 70s jazz funk organs of Brazil to create big textures and drip realism into these funky, cinematic nuggets.
Leo Gandelman and Far Out Recordings can finally release these ten beautiful and refreshingly old school compositions a decade after they were lovingly pieced together in to this killer groove.

Reviews:
“If ever there was a Latin funk super group, then it was the Brazillian Groove Band. The band included heavyweights like Reuben Wilson and Grant Green Jnr. The only question is why it took so long for this gem to be released? There’s no fat, just lean and mean groove. Friday night records don’t get any funkier than this.” Clash Magazine

"A sweet mix of Brazilian grooves and New York attitude - an overlooked session from the end of the 90s - recorded in the US by Brazilian sax man Leo Gandelman, with soulful help from a variety of American players - including Reuben Wilson on organ and both Charlie Hunter and Grant Green Jr on guitar. There's a rich 70s vibe to the record - a tight, funky blend of jazzy riffing and Brazilian percussion, all put together at a level that recalls Kudu Records at its best - lean, soulful, and surprisingly focused throughout - a great step forward for Gandelman,
and for percussionist Juliano Zanoni, who co-arranged the set with Leo, and also wrote most of the tunes. The record never saw the light of day when it was recorded, making this Far Out package its first-ever release." Dusty Groove

Press Release:
TM Juke and The Jack Baker Trio present 'Boto And The Second Liners'. A feast of carnival-spirited songs, this is an original album of pure party music that pays homage to the different rhythms of the Americas, moving from the '80s New York street party feel of junkyard, go-go music and old school inspired hip hop; through the funk and soul of Memphis and the Mardi Gras of New Orleans; and south to Latin America and Brazilian samba. The record boasts some great guest performers - most notably singers Alice Russell, Kathrin deBoer of Belleruche and Andreya Triana, and genre-bending Spanish singer Gecko Turner (Lovemonk).

The 'Boto And The Second Liners' project was born when TM Juke and Jack Baker were on tour with the Alice Russell band, passing their time in airports and vans by cataloguing songs that could be reworked in a South American stylee. The original plan was for an album of covers, but once the pair got to work, the covers were dropped in favour of original rhythmic masterpieces. Written and recorded in less than two months, the album was all played live - not a sample in sight - and nearly all the percussion and drums are single takes. The pair avoided ironing out too many creases and tried not to over-produce, and as a result the recordings have a rough and ready feel and that unique, palpable live energy.

TM Juke has built a reputation as a prolific and acutely talented musician, producer and DJ. His previous solo projects have encompassed soul, funk, hip hop and jazz; with sublime hooks and a spirit of experimentation. With two acclaimed solo albums for Tru Thoughts under his belt, he also produced and co-wrote some of Alice Russell's most highly acclaimed releases and he is one half of dancefloor-destroying duo Me&You. The Jack Baker Trio is, in fact, just Jack Baker, percussionist extraordinaire. His other high profile musical endeavours include playing in the Bonobo Live Band, which is how he became acquainted with the magical powers of Andreya Triana and Kathrin deBoer (Andreya is currently co-producing her first solo album with Bonobo, and Kathrin is the band's live frontwoman of choice).

13. The Bloater (3:22)
14. Luna 2 (3:49)

It’s time to switch on the lava lamp and crack open the Babycham, because Big Boss Man are back and groovier than ever.
The ever-present Hammond Organ ensures that ‘Full English Beat Breakfast’ is a seriously greasy affair and the perfect start to any weekend. The boys keep the pace fast and tight, with a bit of psychedelic rock, samba and Northern Soul thrown in for good measure. It certainly puts the ‘swing’ back into the swinging 60s, with plenty of Georgie Fame-esque grooves.
If Charlie Croker from the ‘Italian Job’ was still alive – gawd bless his soul – he would be dancing to this, and recommendations don’t come any better than that!

Don Julian - Savage! (1973)


One of the greatest blacksploitation soundtracks of the 70s — and one of the rarest too! The album's a crowning achievement for the mighty Don Julian — an artist who's best known for his earlier LA soul with The Larks, but who steps out here with a hip, hard-grooving sound that's really amazing — kind of a small combo take on the bigger orchestrations you might hear in other films of the time — served up with lots of heavy drums and sharp-edged guitar in the mix! The rhythm section is especially great — bad-walking along with a blend of bass, drums, and congas — and other instrumentation includes flute, sax, and trombone — plus guitars from both Arthur Wright and Julian.

The Gaturs - Wasted (1970)


An essential bit of funkiness from this obscure New Orleans funk combo! The Gaturs' frontman was keyboardist Willie Tee — who went on to greater fame as a jazz and session player — but we like him best at this early point, when he was wailing away on organ in a tight choppy small group setting. The Gaturs clearly deserve any praise you could heap on them — and their work on this album's a perfect match with the New Orleans funk of Eddie Bo and The Meters. Most of the material was recorded in New Orleans, but only ever issued on 7" singles — and this is the first LP that the group have ever had under their name.

VA - Beretta 70: Roaring Themes From Thrilling Italian Police Films 1971-80


A classic CD containing some of the finest tracks from the 70's poliziotteschi (violent police/crime) movies from Italy. Music to drive recklessly and beat-up criminals to! Fantastic stuff!

Ananda Shankar - Ananda Shankar (1970)


Insanely fantastic! Ananda Shankar was one of the hippest sitar players of the 60s — an artist who was not only steeped in the strongest traditions of Indian music heard in other more mainstream players, but one who also had a keen ear for modder and funkier grooves of the time! This rare American set by Ananda is one of his greatest ever — a brilliant mix of funky backings and tripped out sitar work — done in a way that blends together soul, funk, and rock — all given a particularly cool Indian twist. The vibe is very much in the best funky Bollywood style — but was actually done years before most Bollywood funk


- Clique Aki:

Ananda Shankar - Ananda Shankar & His Music (1975)


One of the greatest albums ever by one of the most compelling figures in Indian music! Ananda Shankar's been chronicled elsewhere and often on these pages — so by this point, you probably already know that he's a renegade pioneer who combined funky grooves with sitars and tablas, forging a whole new sound in Indian music that's still having quite a bit of influence today. This 1975 album is a stunner — way more open-minded than his other album for Reprise (which we've also got on reissue!), with tracks that push the funky groove a lot farther than you'd expect, swirling percussion, organ, guitar, tablas, moog, and sitar all together into an unbelievable sound that will leave you breathless!

Piquenique - Ed Motta 2009


Piquenique com Ed Motta

Depois de Poptical,Ed Motta ao Vivo e Aystelum, a Trama lança Piquenique, décimo álbum da carreira de Ed Motta, que chega às lojas em outubro e deve surpreender grande parte do público, já há muito tempo ansioso por um trabalho pop do artista. As canções que compõem a obra foram escritas a quatro mãos e marcam a estréia da parceria entre Ed e Edna Lopes, com quem ele é casado há 18 anos. A única exceção é a faixa “Nefertiti”, uma parceria com Rita Lee.

Narrativas de quadrinhos, humor, cinema noir e amor são temas de canções como “Pé Na Jaca”, “Nicole Versus Cheng” e “A Turma da Pilantragem”. Essa última, dueto de Ed Motta com a cantora Maria Rita.

Mas essas não são as únicas surpresas. A faixa título conta com a participação de Marya Bravo, famosa nos anos 70 por dar voz ao single “Cremogema”. A produção é assinada por Ed com a co-produção de Silvera. A masterização foi feita por Herb Powers Jr., considerado um dos melhores masterizadores do mundo.

Piquenique traz 12 faixas e, segundo João Marcello Bôscoli, “é uma safra tão popular, bem humorada e dançante quanto àquela da época do Manual Prático. Talvez mais. E quando um artista como ele grava uma determinada obra, é porque representa realmente aquilo que vive e sente no momento”.



Tracklist:

1- "Minha Vida Toda Com Você"
2- "Mensalidade"
3- "Pé na Jaca"
4- "Carência no Frio"
5- "A Turma da Pilantragem" (participação Maria Rita)
6- "Piquenique"
7- "O Mestre e o Aprendiz"
8- "Nefertiti"
9- "Compromisso"
10- "Bel Prazer"
11- "Nicole Versus Cheng"
12- "Tanto Faz"

VA - DJ Spinna Presents the Boogie Back





DJ Spinna
The Boogie Back – Post Disco Club Jams
Label: BBE
Release Date: November 24, 2009
http://www.bbemusic.com/
www.myspace.com/djspinnafrombrooklyn

********************************************
Boogie Music is the dance music genre that was wedged between 70’s disco music and the electronica explosion of the 90’s. Some call it Post Disco, some call it Electro Funk, but the characteristics that define Boogie Music (funk, soul and R&B) would form the building blocks of proper house music. This is the kind of music that was coming out of the inner city clubs of the time and there’s a whole lot of culture and emotion built into these songs. Hell, Michael Jackson’s classic Off The Wall is a boogie record!

A child of the 80’s DJ Spinna (aka Vincent Williams) lived through the boogie heydays. With a global resurgence in vintage club music, Italo disco, alt dance and dance rock, Spinna felt it was his duty to pay homage to the original artists who inspired so many of today’s hottest DJs and musical acts. The jams on this compilation rocked the airwaves in Brooklyn back in the day and now it’s ripe from a brand new crop of music lovers across the world.

This package really satisfies all tastes and moods. Disc One is DJ Spinna’s ready made block party DJ Mix for getting it all going right. These crispy, funky tracks are lined up side-by-side for a vibe that takes you straight to the streets, circa 1982. A second disc is prime meat for all you crate diggers and features 12 unmixed classics; many of which are unavailable on CD, Vinyl or even digitally!

One again DJ Spinna delivers a product that’s not just 4/4 beats or empty tracks. Rather, through all his many releases over the years he’s proven to be the authority on providing real music for real people. DJ Spinna is one of a few active DJs today whose versatility and all round knowledge covers so much ground. From Rock to Jazz, Reggae to Hip-Hop, soundtracks to House, Soul, Funk, Disco or Techno this man has the knowledge and can rock parties as good as any leading lights in any of the aforementioned scenes.

Joe Bataan is like the CD title says, "King Of Latin Soul". The Afro-Fillipino singer, born and raised in Spanish Harlem, New York, was as tough as his neighbourhood. His two loves were his gang and music. The music of Harlem split into two -West Harlem was African-American soul/funk/rhythm & blues/doo-wop, East Harlem was Cuban and Puerto Rican. In the 1960s, Joe alongside a host of 2nd generation Latinos, loved equally soul, funk and rhythm and blues AND mambo, guaguanco and guaracha. It was inevitable that a new US latin sound would emerge that fused these different genres, and that sound was latin soul, eventually becoming boogaloo (or bugalu). Joe Bataan was right there at the start, recording for Fania Records in 1967, until 1973, then as latin soul and bugalu became latin funk and latin disco, he switched to Mericana Records, which became the legendary disco label Salsoul Records. The rest is history.

This new CD is Joe re-recording all his big hits with Spanish rare groove band Los Fulanos and its on Madrid funk/soul label Vampi Soul. If you like Joe Bataan or latin soul or latin disco, buy it. Its good. The band are kicking, Joe's voice is still strong (though wobbles on a couple of tracks), and the production is BIG! The new versions of classics are excellent - "Subway Joe" sounds almost as good as the original, as do "Mestizo" and "Gypsy Woman". He does a good version of "The Bottle", which is a vocal unlike his mid-70s instrumental "La Botella" hit. There's a kicking salsa-jam, the uptempo "Puerto Rico Me Llama" - nice descarga. I was well impressed by the whole CD - Joe Bataan, the punchy arrangements, the firing band, the excellent crisp production. Like the title says, Joe Bataan is still "King Of Latin Soul".

About Big Pimp Jones
Our goal has always been taking some hip-hop lyrics and putting them on top of funk. We're talking about that funk where you interrupt yourself to say something like "aaaaawwwwwWWWW YEAH!", stop macking, then run across the room to the DJ booth to see what that funky-ass record is, cause you gotta have it! We've been doing this thang for about 10 years now, just doing our best to give some funk back to hip-hop (since hip-hop's been in a taking mood with the funk). >>>>Now, for some fun facts about Big Pimp Jones: 1. We used to go by the name 'K.R.O. and the House band of the Apocalypse'. 2. We've released 2 albums on tape (on longer available), 8 albums on CD, 1 single under the name K.R.O. and 2 double-sided singles under assumed names. 3. We reside in the Philadelphia area. 4. We're the only band in history to have all five band members be named People magazine's 'Sexiest man of the year' (over different years, of course). 5. We're from the future. 6. Our malt liquor of choice is Hurricane. 7. We would run up on people, do a rambo, whip out the jammy and flat-blast them fools, but we don't want to mess up our $3700 Lynx coats.

Let's Go Get It - FOREVER




Hoje hasteamos essa bandeira no blog, com o preto do luto pela perda de um dos maiores parceiros que nosso universo de blogs musicais já teve até hoje: LET’S GO GET IT.
Inadvertidamente, e cogita-se até mesmo que por motivações pessoais de alguns pseudo-artistas da nova safra de música, o blog LET’S GO GET IT (dirigido por Hank) foi retirado do ar, juntamente com seu conteúdo.
Today we sten up this flag, with the black color for the mourning in losing one of the most important partners in the universe of music blogs: LET’S GO GET IT.
Inadvertently, and maybe for personal motivations of one of this pseudo-artists of the new generation of music, the blog LET’S GO GET IT (headed by Hank) was shut off.

O protesto que fazemos hoje, tem com base um novo modelo de consumo de músicas, que se dissemina a cada dia, por cada canto do planeta. Enquanto nossos blogs forem vistos como vilões nessa cadeia de consumo, nós do AFBJ estaremos de pé para a luta. Nós e muitos, muitos outros blogs parceiros.
The protest that we do today, is based on a new model of consumption of music, that spreads every day, every corner of the planet. While our blogs are seen as villains in this chain of consumption, we in AFBJ will stand up for the fight. We and many, many other blogs partners.

Abaixo, temos um breve (e muito esclarecedor) retrato de como um disco vaza na internet. Avaliando essa cadeia, percebemos que os blogs, são apenas a ponta final da história toda.
Below is a brief (and very enlightening) picture of how a record leaks on the Internet. Evaluating this chain, we realize that blogs are just the tip end of the story.




Nós do AFBJ, nunca fomos radicais, e sempre abrimos espaço para que o artista se manifeste caso não lhe agrade ter seu disco divulgado por nós. Entretanto, podemos assegurar-lhes, que dos mais de 200 discos já postados aqui no blog, apenas 3 artistas solicitaram a retirada dos links de download. Ou seja, menos de 2% dos artistas por nós divulgados GRATUITAMENTE, avaliam nossa atividade como sendo negativa, diante das expectativas financeiras que há por trás dos seus trabalhos. Os outros 98%, já conseguem avaliar novas formas de fazer a engrenagem capital do mundo musical girar, apenas mudando peças do processo, e conceitos ultrapassados.
We at AFBJ, have never been radical, and always open space for the artist to be revealed if they do not like to have their disc released by us. However, we can assure you that in more than 200 recordings already posted here on the blog, only 3 artists requested the withdrawal of the download links. That is, less than 2% of the artists we disclosed FREE, evaluate our business to be negative, given the financial expectations that are behind their work. The other 98%, can evaluate new ways to gear the music capital of the turn, just changing parts of the process, and outdated concepts.

O trabalho que nossos blogs fazem, é o de disseminar cultura a quem antes não teria acesso.
O trabalho que nossos blogs fazem, é o de divulgar os novos artistas que surgem em um contexto que já não mais reconhece barreiras geográficas.
O trabalho que nossos blogs fazem, é o de democratizar o acesso a arte, na esperança de que se criem novas gerações mais conscientes de seu papel no mundo.
The work that our blogs do, is to spread culture to those who previously would not have access.
The work that our blogs do, is to promote the new artists to emerge in a context that no longer recognizes barriers.
The work that our blogs do, is to democratize access to art, hoping to create new generations aware of their role in the world.

A música tem o poder de realizar grandes revoluções, e nós estamos vivendo uma exatamente agora.
Music has the power to make major breakthroughs, and we are living one right now.

Convidamos todos os visitantes do blog, a “hastearem” simbolicamente essa bandeira em seus blogs, seus espaços de trabalho, suas casas, ou em qualquer outro espaço relevante de suas vidas.
Juntos, somos maiores do que todos eles.
We invite all visitors to the blog, the "stem" symbolically that flag on your blogs, your workspaces, your homes, or in any other area relevant to their lives.
Together, we are bigger than all of them.

LET'S GO GET IT FOREVER

Registrem seus protestos, e mandem as fotos para mrafrofunky@gmail.com
Publicaremos todas em um novo blog, que será criado para registrar o protesto com a participação real de todos nós.

Register your protests, and send the photos to mrafrofunky@gmail.com
We'll publish all in a new blog, which will be created to register the protest with the real participation of all of us.

Review by Alex Henderson
These days, the blues market often functions as a sanctuary for R&B artists who still provide soul and/or funk as we knew it in the '60s and '70s. Sounding a lot like Sam & Dave or Wilson Pickett won't get you on urban contemporary radio — actually, it will probably keep you off urban radio — but it might result in a gig at the Chicago Blues Festival or a contract with Alligator Records. For Etta James, refusing to embrace urban contemporary-style R&B has meant two things: (1) zero airplay on modern black stations, and (2) an enthusiastic following in the blues market. James has always been more of an R&B singer than a blues singer, but because she's so rootsy by today's standards, this 2003 release will get much of its support from blues fans. James, who turned 65 on January 25, 2003, is in fine form throughout the CD. Over the years, James has worked with a variety of producers, but she produced Let's Roll herself — and the result is one of her most rock-minded releases. A few of the tracks have a blues-rock outlook, including "The Blues Is My Business" and a gutsy performance of Billy Beck's early-'50s hit "Stacked Deck." But much of the time, James favors a rock-influenced approach to Southern soul. In fact, many of the selections recall Ike & Tina Turner's '60s and early-'70s output, especially "Strongest Weakness," "Lie No Better," and "Somebody to Love" (not to be confused with the psychedelic Jefferson Airplane classic). James' longtime fans will be happy to know that she is very much on top of her game throughout this excellent CD.

- Clique Aki:


One of the best James Brown soul LPs from the 70's, with a great mix of funky tracks and deeper soul tracks. The latter is represented by the classics "Public Enemy #1" and "King Heroin", both hard soul political tracks. The funk is represented by "Talkin' Loud & Sayin' Nothing", "There It Is", and James's version of "I Need Help" (which was also recorded by Bobby Byrd). Another great reissue of an album we hardly ever see in good shape.
