Produced by Freestyle Records hottest property LACK OF AFRO aka Adam Gibbons, Pravda Records (in association w/Record Kicks UK) proudly presents the new album from Iowa City s ambassadors of funk and soul, The Diplomats Of Solid Sound featuring for the first time, The Diplomettes. Having already cut 3 full-length albums, "Instrumental Action Soul" (Prescription Records - 2001), "Let´s Cool One"(Estrus Records - 2003) and "Destination Get Down!" (Estrus Records - 2005), you can hear the band growing stronger in sophistication and depth as they further ingested the sounds of 60s soul, R&B and deep funk. Cut to 2006 and The Diplomats became backing band to RnB/Soul legend Andre Williams & recorded "Aphrodisiac" with ´Mr. Rhythm´ released in 2006 on both Pravda and Spanish label Vampisoul. That same year they asked 3 gifted soul sirens (Sarah Cram, Katherine Ruestow & Abigail Sawyer) aka the Diplomettes to join the group and the rest as they say is soul history. This self-titled album is chocked full of irresistible funk and soul bombs ready to melt your heart or make you shake it on the dance-floor. As an added bonus, Lack Of Afro put in a bit of overtime in the studio to sprinkle his magic on "Hurt Me So", giving it a skanking reggae feel whilst retaining the silky smooth vocals.

Gerardo Frisina's one of the primary artists with Idizione-Ishtar and Schema. He's collaborated with and worked with loads of the other artists and musicians on that label as well as tremendous musicians on others, most striking to me is Frank Hernandez and Deja-Vu. Other members of the Schema side though are Nicola Conte, The Dining Rooms, S-Tone Inc., Rosalia De Souza, Gianluca Patrella, Five Corners Quintet and Soulstance. Speaking of Soulstance, the majority of the trakcs on this cd were written by Frisina and Vincenzo Lo Greco while this was recorded in Lo Greco Studios in Milan.

Numerous compilations of '70s soul, funk, and fusion have been compiled in the name of blaxploitation throughout the years, whether or not all the inclusions were actually used in blaxploitation films (granted, just about everything from this ... Full Descriptionera was fit for soundtrack use). Union Square's The Best of Blaxploitation retraces a lot of familiar steps, but it's not as if most of the similar preceding compilations have remained easy to find. It's three discs in length, so it's bound to plug some significant gaps for beginners and moderate fans, and it contains some concise and informative track-by-track notes. It plays it straight, for the most part, with no revelations made for the hardcore collector. Highlights include James Brown's "The Boss," Marvin Gaye's "'T' Plays It Cool," Syl Johnson's "Different Strokes," Cymande's "Bra," and, naturally, Curtis Mayfield's "Superfly."

E Você ja matou o seu " Gigante " hoje ?

1Sm 17: 49, lemos: “E Davi meteu a mão no alforje, e tomou dali uma pedra e com a funda lha atirou, e feriu o filisteu na testa, e a pedra se lhe cravou na testa, e caiu sobre seu rosto em terra”. 1Sm 17: 49, “E assim prevaleceu contra o filisteu, com uma funda e com uma pedra, e feriu o filisteu, e o matou sem que Davi tivesse uma espada na mão”. (V. 50).

“Pelo que correu Davi, e pôs-se em pé sobre o filisteu, e tomou a sua espada, e tirou-a da bainha; e o matou, e lhe cortou com ela a cabeça, vendo então os filisteus, que seu campeão era morto, fugiram”.

The opening tune is the wonderful remix by Danish producer Solo Moderna of the song "The Fixer" by "Cinematic band of the moment" Acusmatic Group. Followed by a series of wild break beat productions, among which Aldo Vannucci`s remix of "Davil Inside" by Max Sedley stand out, together with the soundtrack of Sony PSP`s TV ad "Body Down" by The Shiffers. We could not ignore, of cource, Benji Jumping and Robert Passera (with a taster of his new album), but also Modulo 5 and Low Fidelity Jet Set Orchestra (both from minds of the duo Dave Masoch/Paolo Apollo Negri, the latter with track under his own name too).
Last but not least: one of the last productions from the late DJ Rodrigues, with special guest on vocals Maki from Pizzicato Five!

Chico Hamilton - Twelve Tones of Love

Artist: Chico Hamilton
Title Of Album: Twelve Tones of Love
Year Of Release: April 14, 2009

Whereas drum legends like Art Blakey, Gene Krupa, and Buddy Rich are known for their stunning solos, veteran Chico Hamilton is just the opposite--he is known for his subtlety, propelling an ensemble in a modest yet noteworthy manner. TWELVE TONES OF LOVE is something of a departure for Hamilton (and most jazz discs in general) as it consists of 18 short, super-concise tracks. Hamilton and company make every note count as they effortlessly dart in and out of an assortment of styles. Among the TONES explored are hard bop, cool, Latin, fusion, and free. With a crew of younger cats and old friends, the musicianship is, as usual, excellent.

Não costumo postar disco de artistas nem de selos do Brasil porque é um saco ! Mas achei este disco bem interessante e resolvi compartilhar com vocês, o Artista é sensacional e o selo um dos meus preferidos, apesar de ser aqui do Brasil onde o jabà rola solto.

Ari is a fantastic player with a talent for both, grand piano and Hammond. This is important as both instruments require different techniques and not many players can do well in both cases. Ari can and he makes his keys sing so sweet. Plus, the way he mixes jazz with soul and a bin of funk is so precise, yet so full of passion and gut that can only come from an artist who has spent a lot of time and love to get to know the music. Having said all that, “AB4” is so good that it could easily be one of the highlights in the catalog of the legendary Blue Note Records. Absolutely hot disc!

Friends Seen and Unseen finds the guitarist going back to his roots in a trio setting. His last trio release was the landmark Bing, Bing, Bing released in 1995 which put the guitarist on map. Hunter’s new trio features the dynamic skills of saxophonist John Ellis and drummer Derek Phillips both from Right Now Move. The trio setting is naturally more intimate and allows the musicians to interact with a tight yet free style with music that should appeal to both long time and newer fans.
The new material is a well-rounded mix of styles that prove Hunter is more than just a jam-band guitarist. Hunter’s music has always been and continues to be about the groove. The opening piece “One For The Kelpers” features a funky vibe with Hunter’s bass strings laying down the slow cooked groove while “Freedom Tickler” introduces a freer melody allowing the trio to stretch things out musically with open solos. Never one to take himself too seriously Hunter adds both depth and humor on “Lulu’s Crawl” which could be the theme song for a sleazy Vegas strip tease show, with honking saxophone, guitar effects, and vivid drumming.

Volume two of this collection of the
rarest grooves from Peru, including
garage stompers, psych-pop, raunchy
funk, Latin rock and anything in
between.


The journey continues. Treasures keep
turning up and surprises don't stop. The
shards of the tremendous musical
explosion that took place in Peru
between 1965 and 1975 are still
scattered, and those who are lucky to
find them remain hypnotised by their
charm forever.

During that magical decade Peruvian rock
bands fed from all possible influences.
The original surf, rock and beat sounds
were joined by psychedelic
experimentation and the cult of the
acid. Some bands went even further and
explored the field of music fusion as
well as the most remote confines of
their mind. And most of it is here! We
welcome you, then, to a new overview of
a scene whose diversity mirrors a
society based on a powerful mix of races
and cultures.

One of the great sources of inspiration
was the rock, psychedelic pop and soul
music that came from the United States
and England. The songs by artists like
The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Iron
Butterfly, The Beatles or Mitch Ryder &
The Detroit Wheels had such a great
impact that they ended up merging with
traditional Tropical rhythms, giving
birth to new and surprising music styles
such as "psychedelic guajira".

Some bands, like Los Holy's, Los
Comandos, Los Jaguars or Los Siderals,
chose to turn up the reverb on their
amps and do without lyrics for their
fantastic surf instrumentals, which
sometimes incorporated arrangements in
the style of Joe Meek.

Other groups went for a rougher
approach. Los Saicos, Los Shain's or Los
Drag's represent the wildest type of
teenage abandon with their beat rhythms
and garage energy. Hallucinogenic plants
and the consumption of other illegal
substances brought about total
experimentation to Peruvian music, both
in terms of composition and
arrangements. Songs such as the bluesy
'Efectos' by Los Teddy's and 'Cuarto
oscuro' by Los Zheros reflect this new
psychedelic scene.

After the lysergic effects came hard and
acid rock, full of heavy riffs and
plenty of fuzz and wah-wah pedals,
surprisingly adopted and practiced by
bands like Pax, Telegraph Ave and
Traffic Sound.

Traditional folklore also suffered the
effects of the foreign rock invasion.
Native styles such as cumbia
incorporated elements from rock, which
resulted in curious tracks such as
'Onstá la yerbita' by Los Destellos,
featured here.

Sit down, relax and enjoy this journey
"Back To Peru"!

Featured on vocals is Bruna Lopez, a Brazilian singer that has some good attitude in her voice. SHe's cool in I believe the most popular track, "Chico Desperado" and "Jackie", but can also be traditional too. The style of the cd is a mixture of latin vibes, Brazilian vibes and jazz.

Afternoons In Stereo blends the organic with the digital, creating a funky 21st century blend of future jazz, funk, latin, house, breakbeat, and downtempo.

With a greater emphasis on live recording and soloing, the mostly instrumental album uses jazz as it’s core blueprint. But this is jazz in the digital-era, beginning and ending with the computer in the actual production but always incorporating live recording as the foundation for the compositions and their ingredients.

Tribes Vibes + Scribes
--------------
Incognito's third album nods to the influences that ground their jazz-funk-and-soul jams. The 11-member band adds a Latin feel to a snazzy cover of Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing," while "Magnetic Ocean" has a Weather Report-in-ballad-mode vibe. "Change" combines Maysa Leak's Chaka Khan-like power with sweeping Soul II Soul-ish strings, and "Need to Know" gives props to Roy Ayers (check the clavinet) and Rick James (horn section). The band is at its best showcasing Leak or featuring soloists, as on "Colibri" and the Mandrill-ish "Closer to the Feeling." Still, some attempts fall flat, like the syrupy "L'Arc en Ciel de Miles" that's more Chuck Mangione than Prince of Darkness. This one's for smooth-jazz aficionados; Brit-funk fans should check the band's later fare.

Twenty-year-old singer Rachel Scharnberg, obviously anything but a sixties kid, presents herself as an artist deeply influenced by original soul and funk music from way back, by the warm and intense performances that made us admire Aretha Franklin and Donny Hathaway, the sound being kept alive by the likes of Daptone Records today.
“Plain & Simple” is all about pure, hand made music. No samples, no gadgets, nothing but vintage instruments, an amazing voice and analogue recording gear. In case you ever wondered what makes vinyl records and analogue techniques so special – this is a perfect demonstration of the raw, uncut sound of Soul.

Morre Paulo Moura

RIO - Morreu no fim da noite desta segunda-feira o saxofonista e trompetista Paulo Moura, de 77 anos. O músico estava internado na Clínica São Vicente, no Rio, desde o dia 4 de julho com um linfona (câncer do sistema linfático). Compositor e arranjador de choro, samba e jazz, Paulo Moura é um dos maiores nomes da música instrumental brasileira, tendo tocado com Ary Barroso, Dalva de Oliveira, Elis Regina, Milton Nascimento e Sérgio Mendes.

Para Paulo Moura não existiam fronteiras. Com seus clarinete e saxofone, o músico - nascido em 17 de fevereiro de 1933, São José do Rio Preto, no interior de São Paulo, e radicado no Rio desde o fim da adolescência - passeou com talento por muitos gêneros e formações. Tocou tanto em orquestras sinfônicas quanto de gafieira ou grupos de regional, rodando o Brasil e o mundo com sua arte.

New DJ Nuts-Arthur Verocai Mix

the timeless concert series wasn’t just a series of stunning performances. all the shows were framed by our favorite djs. madlib, jrocc, houseshoes and quantic all came with amazing sets. cut chemist even raised the bar with a one turntable romp. on the eve of the verocai show, dj nuts was supposed to perform with madlib. he made the arduous journey from brasil after completing a show with marcelo d2. he endured a punishing series of flights that took 20 hours to complete, and in the end, a plane delay caused him to miss his own set at the start of the show. in a pinch, j.rocc stepped up to the plate and performed a stellar set at the luckman in his place, and nuts went on to dj a mind-blowing two hour set at the after-party. so much of mochilla’s dealings in brasil would not have been possible without rodrigo teixera (known to the world as dj nuts). the verocai concert surely would never have happened without him. his role in helping with the pre and post co-ordination was enormous.dj nuts is an astute and rigorous historian of brasil’s vast and varied musical culture. his record collection is legendary; his skills as a dj are world class. we commissioned him to make this mix to help people understand the extraordinary legacy of verocai. many by now know verocai’s self-titled album, some even know the more popular compositions and arrangements, but none have dug as hard as nuts. years of collecting and a strong friendship with verocai himself have made this historic mix possible. 78 minutes of all verocai compositions and arrangements is a dream come true. for such a mix to be made, only a true brasilian music aficionado could have created this, and we are honored to be able to share it with you.

Africa

In 1998, yielding to the international pressure, the Sudanese government allowed good aid to be distributed to the south. British photojournalist Tom Stoddart travelled with Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF) to a camp in Ajiep, where more than 100 people were dying every day. There he took the above photo of a crippled boy who had queued hours for food, only to find it robbed away from him by a fit man who strides confidently away.
Stoddart received overwhelming criticism for his image, people demanding why he did not intervene. He responded, “I am a photographer, not a policeman or an aid worker. All I can do is try to tell the truth as I see it with my camera.” However, Stoddart requested that the papers that print his Sudan photos run the credit card hotlines of aid agencies next to the photos. On the day the above photo appeared in theGuardian, MSF had 700 calls and £40,000 was pledged. The Daily Express raised £500,000. Le Figaro ran 10 pages of his pictures, Stern magazine nine pages.
On a deeper level, the photo is a symbol of Africa’s continuing problem — the big man with the stick rules. Large amount of food aid disappears from the camps in much needed areas and appears for sale in the market places in neighboring countries. Not to be anecdotal but I once volunteered in an African country that should remain nameless. Food and medical aid that Western governments sent there were regularly pilfered by corrupt bureaucrats and sometimes aid is withheld or rediverted to areas that don’t need them because the governments there like to use foreign aid as a bargaining chip to subdue/cleanse tribes and ethnicities they don’t like. Yet, Western governments and aid agencies continue sending aid because sometimes getting a little aid to affected areas is better than cutting off aid.
This succinctly describes the relationship between European/American (even Chinese + Russian) multi-national corporations, supranational organizations and the former bread-baskets of the continent of Africa within a neo-liberal framework.
This picture makes me sick. I always get a little angry when I see photojournalism like this, because the subject is so compelling, and heartbreaking. As a viewer, I feel uncomfortably complicit in this crippled Sudanese boy’s plight. As a viewer, I am challeneged to DO SOMETHING, because I live in a world where resources are distributed mostly to those who possess relative privilege and effective demand.
Folks complain about socialism’s disribution of wealth? Well, I counter with this- capitalism requires the movement of capital driven by demand- largely the demand of corporations, and the lesser consumer demand of the privileged. Resources from “underdeveloped” nations are being taken from the soil, from the water and from the air in order to fuel, supply the lifestyles of the relatively privileged in industrial and post-industrial nations such as the USA or UK.

Robert Walter has no problem getting into funky, down-home soul-jazz when he wants to, but the organist/keyboardist/pianist also has his intellectual side. He obviously appreciates the soul-jazz that B-3 icons like Jimmy Smith, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Johnny "Hammond" Smith, and Jack McDuff offered in the '60s, but he has also shown his appreciation of Medeski, Martin & Wood as well as the post-bop and fusion that Larry Young explored after he moved beyond soul-jazz. And both sides of Walter's artistry serve him well on Cure All. If Walter (who forms a trio with bassist James Singleton and drummer Johnny Vidacovich) set out to offer a healthy balance of intellect and funkiness, he achieves that goal on enjoyable tracks such as "Maple Plank," "Snakes and Spiders," "Measure Up," and "Coupe." Most of the material is more cerebral than a typical soul-jazz performance would be, but at the same time, Cure All is less cerebral than Medeski, Martin & Wood's albums. Whether he is on organ, acoustic piano, or electric keyboards, Walter usually avoids becoming either too simple or too abstract. Not that there is anything wrong with either simplicity or abstraction; the straightforward, groove-loving bluesiness of Big John Patton and Gene Harris is every bit as valid a part of jazz as the most challenging pieces that John Medeski has had to offer. But Walter obviously wanted to avoid going too far in either direction, and that outlook yields consistently worthwhile results on Cure All.
