Stay on the Groove (2005)

Year: 2005
Style: Funk
Country: USA


Looking for the best compilation ever? You got it!
What a cool cd. There isn’t much traditional dance - as the CD explains – it’s a compilation of what funk created.

Groove. What is it? As complex and diverse as mood; as infectious and innovative as melody and as inclusive and instinctive as rhythm itself, Groove is a term often lacking in todays MTV saturated and easily digestable pop consumerism. It is when an artist or band slips into a relaxed yet uniform swagger and things that usually wouldn't start fitting into place, it's what brings all pieces of the pie together perfectly and when everything seems so right you wish it would never end. It is also something that makes you want to shake your ass, whatever time of day it is and it is to these attributes that this compilation is dedicated.

Since the late eighties funk revival when hip hop artists truly started paying dues (and cheques!) to the masters of days gone by, funk has retained its rightful place at the forefront of modern music. Just listen to the production of the Neptunes or Timbaland to see where it fits into todays market. But it is not just within the memory banks of Akai's and million selling producers that the funk lives on?

This compilation focuses solely on modern day bands who are not just re-living but also re-defining the funk sound. Taking its title from the New Mastersounds storming opening track, the CD aims to show how these bands, whilst steeped in retro-ism, are pushing a new and exhilarating take on the blueprint laid down by seminal artists such as Eddie Bo, The Meters and of course James Brown.

Featuring tracks from artists from all corners of the globe, such as Sweden's Jaguar, Germany's Poets of Rhythm, New York's Dapkings, LA's Breakestra, The Bamboos from Australia and the UK's very own New Mastersounds and Quantic Soul Orchestra, it is also obvious to see that this is a worldwide phenomena we are talking about.'

VA - The NRK Sessions Soul Afro Jazz And Latin From The Club 7 Scene

Artist: VA
Title Of Album: The NRK Sessions Soul Afro Jazz And Latin from the Club 7 Scene
Year Of Release: 2007
Label: Plastic Strip
Genre:Funk / Soul, Jazz, Latin
Style: Afro-Cuban Jazz, Jazz-Rock, Contemporary Jazz, Funk, Soul

WebSite: http://www.plasticstrip.no/

In 1970, Norway had a population of just over 3.8 million people, with a record market in accordance to that number. Genres such as soul, afro-jazz and latin were rarely recorded and therefore The Norwegian National Broadcasting Bureau (NRK) played a pivotal role for the music milieu. Since the bands didn’t have any records for NRK to play, NRK gave them studio time to record music they could broadcast. Hence, it exists recordings of artists that you never knew even existed.

The artists represented on this release were all connected to Club 7 that existed from 1963 to ’85 on different locations in Oslo. The name suggested that the intentions of the club were more than just sex and it soon became the stage for all experimental art forms in Norway. In the early days the scene was all about jazz, but soon opened up to R´n´B, psychedelica, blues, reggae and folk music. An important factor in this development was Earl Wilson, an actor from New York who in 66´ formed the first Norwegian R´n´B band, Little Earl and The Sapphires. After breaking up the group, Earl put together The Club 7 Explosion, which became an institution at the club under different names such as Little Earl & The Road Band and The Band No Name. After seeing the huge cues the band made, the management realized that R´n´B music was the new money. Karin Krog was a part of the early jazz scene but started experimenting with R´n´B after meeting the singer and pianist Arild Wikstrøm and later the R´n´B band Public Enemies at the club. Here she also met Fred Nøddelund, almost just a kid at the time, who convinced Karin to record and perform some of his arrangements, inspired by West Coast pop and soul. The cousins Magni and Geir Wentzel were both Club 7 regulars. Magni was educated as a classical guitarist in Spain and focused both on the jazz and folk scene while the pianist Geir was a pioneer on the R´n´B scene with his own orchestra and band Wentzel. He was set to record Norway’s first R´n´B LP when his collaborator suddenly died in a car crash. Theband Kjellerrockjazzbandet consisted of some of Norway’s most talented jazz and pop musicians from the groups Sapphires and Dream, and like all Club 7 musicians they played in a dozen different constellations a month. They got their name from Club 7’s director Attila Horvath, who one day needed to name the group for an ad in the paper, and the name stuck. But it wasn’t only Norwegian groups that played Club 7. The booking list is filled with big international names like Nina Simone or Keith Jarrett, and it wasn’t unusual that the guy sitting in the corner sofa next to you was Zappa or Sean Connery. One of the bands that used to visit was The Modern Sound Quintet, an afro-jazz group with musicians from the Caribbean, living in Copenhagen. They worked as session musicians and played clubs in Scandinavia and one of the regular stops was Club 7. Two mainstays on the club’s afro-jazz scene were the bands E´Olen! and Tamma, both with Gambian percussionist Miki N´Doye as backbone.Tammarefers to a talking drum from West Africa and the band was influenced by African folk music, Fela Kuti and Scandinavian jazz. The band eventually got so good at their craft that they went to tour Gambia.

Both the NRK studio productions and Club 7 fell apart during the mid eighties. Club 7 went bankrupt and the new standardized musician wages made NRK refrain from using self produced music in the broadcasts. Since Club 7 never managed to get their own recording equipment or label running, we are lucky they took the trip to NRK to record the only documents existing of one of Scandinavia’s most vibrant music scenes in the 70s.

There's a nicely Tokyo-styled feel to the selection of tracks here -- tunes that would be great while shopping the day away in Ropponngi or Shibuya -- and titles include "Bossa Per Due" by Nicola Conte, "Girl On A Mission" by Les Hommes, "Batucada Do Silencio" and "Mrs Beat" by Balanco, "Deeper Love" and "Limbe" by S-Tone Inc, "Fuoco Fatuo (Koop rmx)" and "Love Me Till Sunday" by Nicola Conte, "Senza Paura" by Quintetto X, and "Semplicissimo" by Paolo Achenza Trio Tracklist -------- 1. balanco - batucada do silencio (2:19) 2. balanco - mrs beat (2:46) 3. balanco - the girl from montenegro (3:39) 4. balanco - metti una sera a cena (jazzanova remix) (6:20) 5. les hommes - girl on a mission (3:57) 6. nicola conte - bossa per due (5:52) 7. quintetto x - senza paura (4:19) 8. paolo achenza trio - semplicissimo (5:33) 9. nicola conte - love me till sunday (4:28) 10. nicola conte - fuoco fatuo koop remix (4:08) 11. s-tone inc - deeper love (5:04) 12. s-tone inc - limbe (4:44) - Clique Aki:

Jazz & Blues : Amy Winehouse - Back To Black (2006)

Artist: Amy Winehouse
Title Of Album: Back To Black
Year Of Release: Nov 28, 2006
Label: Universal Records
Genre: Jazz / Soul
Format: MP3
Quality: 192 kbps I 44.1 Khz I Stereo
Total Time: 34 min 54 sec
Total Size: 82.5 mb

It doesn't take much listening to Amy Winehouse's 1960s pop period piece to realize that this is a tribute with an edge--nice girls back then didn't sing about boozing and rehab. Since her 2003 debut album, FRANK, Winehouse has been a frequent presence on the gossip pages of the U.K. tabloids, and her songwriting here candidly reflects her experiences with drinking, sex, and drugs.

BACK TO BLACK's production is an artful blend of sophisticated '60s R&B and 21st-century stylistic poaching, with "Tears Dry on Their Own" incorporating elements of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and Winehouse sounding like Billie Holiday fronting a reggae band on the old-fashioned cheating song "Just Friends." Densely packed with musical history and often conjuring a dark, Portishead-esque atmosphere, BACK TO BLACK is a sumptuous-sounding collection freighted with blunt confessionals of a lush life.

Incognito - Tales From The Beach 2008

Artist: Incognito Title Of Album: Tales From The Beach Year Of Release: May-05-2008 Label: Edel Records Genre: Acid Jazz, Soul Jazz, Nu jazz, Smooth WebSite: incognito.org.uk It was as a child listening to local musicians on the beach in his native Mauritius that Bluey decided music was the life for him. He listened to folkloric stories put to a beat as the people danced. And it is to the beaches of Bali and Italy that he went for inspiration for the new Incognito album Tales From The Beach. The album was recorded in Italy, Germany, Indonesia and London, and was mixed in Jakarta. This is the 13th studio album from Incognito, probably the most multi-cultural band in the UK, and certainly one of the hardest working. In the past 18 months alone they have performed in more than 25 countries. Tales From The Beach is an album of 15 refreshing and uplifting songs, each beautifully crafted. Maysa Leak again guests on vocals and sings I’ve Been Waiting, a throwback to the golden era of Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. Tony Momrelle turns in a stunning vocal on When The Sun Comes Down. The band hit the dancefloor on many of the tracks, including Step Aside, a four to the floor stomper with vocals by Joy Rose, and N.O.T., an acid jazz-flavoured tracks with horns reminiscent of the Average White Band.

Jamiroquai - Discografia

Jamiroquai é uma banda britânica liderada pelo cantor Jason Kay. A banda é popular no mundo todo e é o membro mais conhecido do acid jazz, movimento londrino do início dos anos 90, junto a outros grupos como Incognito, Brand New Heavies, Galliano, e Corduroy.

O nome Jamiroquai é derivado do nome da tribo Iroquoi de nativos norte-americanos, com os quais Jay Kay diz se identificar filosoficamente, combinado à expressão 'Jam', como em J Session, do idioma inglês.

Formação da banda

Jason Kay (Jay Kay), o líder do grupo, nasceu em Manchester, Inglaterra. Talvez influenciado pela mãe, uma cantora britânica que actuava em bares e que chegou a ter o seu próprio programa de televisão nos anos 70, Jay Kay desde cedo mostrou grande aptidão e uma enorme paixão pela música.

Em 1989 conseguiu comprar uma bateria e gravar umas maquetas com a ajuda de um amigo. Mais tarde assinou contrato com a gravadora britânica Acid Jazz. Em 1991 após ter sido recusado numa audição para se tornar o cantor da banda Brand New Heavies, Jay Kay se juntou aos músicos N. Van Gelder, Toby Smith, Stuart Zender e Wallis Buchanan, formando assim a banda Jamiroquai.

Primeiro single

O primeiro single da banda “When you gonna learn?” originou uma disputa entre editoras que acabou por ser ganha pela Sony, com quem assinaram um contrato de oito álbuns, uma proeza para um jovem que andava de skate, tinha uma paixão por roupas vintage e usava um chapéu esquisito.

Sucesso actual

Já se passaram treze anos desde que assinou com a Sony um contrato sem precendente para 8 álbuns. Depois de 20 milhões de cópias vendidas, quatro turnês mundiais e 141 semanas na tabela de singles britânica, pode dizer-se que a aposta da Sony deu frutos.
] Evolução da banda

O primeiro disco, “Emergency On Planet Earth”, de 1993, foi o álbum que mais cópias vendeu em menos tempo, desde os tempos de “Faith”, de George Michael.

‘Return Of the Space Cowboy’, de 1994, com os seus comentários satíricos e mordazes, é bastante agressivo, mas o sucesso da banda não ultrapassou as fronteiras britânicas. Entretanto, o álbum que deu a conhecer Jamiroquai em nível mundial – ‘Travelling Without Moving’ – veio com um aviso preocupante, profético, sobre os perigos associados à engenharia biogenética. Tal álbum foi precedido pelo single Cosmic Girl, single de 4 faixas com remixes sobre o hit de Jamiroquai.

O single vencedor de um Grammy e quatro prémios MTV, ‘Virtual Insanity’, foi lançado no dia em que a ovelha Dolly nasceu. Este álbum conquistou a crítica e o público tendo atingido o estatuto de platina em todo o mundo.

Logo após ‘Virtual Insanity’, surgiram desavenças durante a criação do “Synkronized”. Com o álbum quase pronto, Zender deixou o Jamiroquai, que por motivos de direitos autorais teve que criar novas músicas, basicamente um novo álbum que não constasse Zender como co-autor. Boatos dizem que Stuart Zender reclamou que Jay estava ganhando muito mais dinheiro que os outros, e estava insatisfeito com isso. Há também uma especulação de que a última faixa do “Synkronized”, intitulada King for a Day, é composta pelo Jay sobre a sua visão a respeito de Zender e de sua ganância.

Depois do álbum “Synkronized”, já sem a colaboração de Stuart Zender, os Jamiroquai colaboraram em “No Boundaries”, um projecto que contou com vários artistas, como Pearl Jam e Alanis Morissette, cujas receitas reverteram para os refugiados do Kosovo.

Em 2001 lançam “A Funk Odyssey”, que trouxe o hit Love Foolosophy, e depois retiram-se para passar os quatro anos seguintes a preparar “Dynamite” (2005).

Com um estilo de vida genuinamente de estrela de rock – Jay Kay possui uma mansão em Buckinghamshire com uma garagem cheia de carros desportivos – seria compreensível se o cantor, que assinou um contrato histórico enquanto vivia num cubículo em Ealing, no Oeste de londres, tivesse passado os quatro anos a seguir ao sucesso do seu primeiro álbum ‘A Funk Odyssey’ a gozar os frutos do seu trabalho.

Dynamite foi escrito e gravado em Espanha, Itália, Costa Rica, Escócia, Nova Iorque, Los Angeles e também no seu próprio estúdio, criado para o efeito na sua mansão em Buckinghamshire.

Este álbum é não só um consolidar de treze anos do som característico da banda, mas também uma prova de que, aos 35 anos, Jay Kay ainda tem muito para dar aos fãs.

O single ‘Feels Just Like It Should’ é um rosnar com poder, o funk orgânico de Jamiroquai passado por uma trituradora digital e ligado a um groove ‘sujo’.

‘Black Devil Car’ – ‘Cosmic Girl’ com guitarras e uma mente perversa. O ritmo disco chic deste tema reforça a sensação de “estar na boa” enquanto que ‘Seven Days in Sunny June’, com o seu leve balançar, é puro romance à Jamiroquai, apenas com mais soul.

Vale lembrar que da formação atual (referente ao “Dynamite”) apenas Jay pertence à formação original.
