Following on from last years hugely popular 'Stay On The Groove ' compilation of modern funk anthems, 'Let The Groove Move You ' picks up where the last left off with 20 more slices of funk made to make you move your butt. As with the first compilation, all of the tracks are written and performed by bands in the modern funk scene: those who are not just re-living but also re-defining the funk sound for a new generation.All the big hitters are present - Quantic Soul Orchestra, Breakestra, The Bamboos, Poets Of Rhythm, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and The New Mastersounds alongside lesser known artists such as Natural Self (Tru Thoughts/Breakin Bread), The Budos Band, Cookin' On 3 Burners, The Soul Snatchers and the Limp Twins.As well as the above, there are also a number of exclusives: making their appearance on CD for the first time. James Brown's legendary soul sister Marva Whitney comes correct with the amazing 'I Am What I Am': amazingly still sounding only 20 years old! Canada's Quartertones drop a sleazy slice of carchase funk: with UK b-boy DJ Format applying the brakes on the remix. You will also find the rarer-than-hens-teeth 'Wind Your Clock' by Naomi Davis: only 10 copies of this track exist as it was never commercially released: what a killer!

Compiled by UK DJ Patrick Forge, The Brazilian Funk Experience hooks into Patrick's personal love affair with the funky 70s Brazilian sound, digging deeper than deep into the respected EMI Odeon Label. Here he presents 20 solid gold Brazilian nuggets, most as rare as hen's teeth and on CD for the first time. Strangely every melody and jazz break sounds sooo familiar... might just be you've heard it on a radio show or at a club round London town. And it might just have been Patrick or one of his followers that was spinning tunes behind the decks at the time. So people, get on your Rio shoes and enjoy the grooves.

Andy Breslau described the Holmes Brothers' music as "gospel-infused doo wop funk," which pretty much captures the spirit and synthesis of their style. Combining old R&B, soul, and gospel, brothers Sherman and Wendell Holmes along with Popsy Dixon create a rich sound filled with lovely harmony. The intensity of the group's studio performances evokes a live feel, offering an inkling of what their performances at Lynch's in Manhattan must have sounded like during the '80s. Righteous! collects almost 75 minutes of material from the group's four Rounder albums, beginning with In the Spirit in 1990 and ending with Promised Land in 1997. The album kicks off with a bit of electric blues topped with a healthy dose of soul on "Got Myself Together," a song that jumps out of the gate at a gallop and holds to a steady gait for five minutes. Gospel-drenched pieces like "Promised Land," complete with electric guitar, will have non-believers singing along, while classics like "There Goes My Everything" combine classic soul with a touch of country. One also wouldn't want to miss the Holmes Brothers' takes on Tom Waits' "Train Song" and the Beatles' "And I Love Her." Breslau's liner notes, which travel back to the Holmes Brothers' residency at Lynch's, are both edifying and fun to read. While all of the albums the Holmes Brothers recorded for Rounder are worthy efforts, Righteous! offers a solid introduction to anyone who has missed out on their wonderful music.

Samba, Afro-Cuban jazz, or was it bossa nova? No sooner has the infectious mix of styles of Brazilian music begun its whirlwind around your ears than you start to lose your grip on the terminology. The Afro Samba, yet another Brazilian variant, which the singer Jorge Ben established during the rhythmic merry-go-round of the ‘60s and ‘70s, completes the cycle of confusion. Yet those who have heard “Mas Que Nada,” that huge hit for which artists such as Sergio Mendes and Dizzy Gillespie have recorded cover versions, will know the man behind this album, at least by name. Ben’s compositions and arrangements can only be compared to those of Jobim or Mendes in a rudimentary sense.

The Nite Liters were a legendary funky combo that provided the backing for some of New Birth's best albums – but on their own, they were even funkier, and had a sound that was part JBs, part Meters, and all funky! This album may well be the group's best – their last for RCA, and a set that really has them honing their edge incredibly. The drums are amazing, the keyboards great, and the horns have this quality that's both complex, yet right on the money – making for a richness in sound that really sets the group apart from their contemporaries. A few singers from The New Birth provide chorus vocals on a few tracks – but most of the set is instrumental, and the record's one we'd gladly stack next to our Meters albums on Josie or JBs classics on People.

A cool collection of 80s groovers from the legendary Mirage Records – a relatively short-lived imprint, but home to some real classics from back in the day! The Mirage approach was a crucial step in the post-disco years – a way of bringing some leaner sounds to the dancefloor by picking up on the best funk and club elements of the time – yet also fusing the whole groove into some soulful leads that often put Mirage right in the middle of the mainstream too!

" Os Gênios "

Os Gêmeos

Os Gêmeos são uma dupla de irmãos gêmeos idênticos grafiteiros de São Paulo, nascidos em 1974, cujos nomes reais são Otávio e Gustavo Pandolfo. Formados em desenho de comunicação pela Escola Técnica Estadual Carlos da Campos, começaram a pintar grafites em 1987 no bairro em que cresceram, o Cambuci, e gradualmente tornaram-se uma das influências mais importantes na cena paulistana, ajudando a definir um estilo brasileiro de grafite.

Os trabalhos da dupla estão presentes em diferentes cidades dos Estados Unidos, Inglaterra, Alemanha, Grécia, Cuba, entre outros países. Os temas vão de retratos de família à crítica social e política; o estilo formou-se tanto pelo hip hop tradicional como pela pichação.

Em 22 de maio de 2008, executaram a pintura da fachada da Tate Modern, de Londres, para a exposição Street Art, juntamente com o grafiteiro brasileiro Nunca, o grupo Faile, de Nova York; JR, de Paris; Blu, da Itália; e Sixeart, de Barcelona.

"The follow-up to the breakthrough Headhunters album was virtually as good as its wildly successful predecessor: an earthy, funky, yet often harmonically and rhythmically sophisticated tour de force. There is only one change in the Headhunters lineup — swapping drummer Harvey Mason for Mike Clark — and the switch results in grooves that are even more complex. Hancock continues to reach into the rapidly changing high-tech world for new sounds, most notably the metallic sheen of the then-new ARP string synthesizer which was already becoming a staple item on pop and jazz-rock records. Again, there are only four long tracks, three of which ("Palm Grease," "Actual Proof," "Spank-A-Lee") concentrate on the funk, with plenty of Hancock's wah-wah clavinet, synthesizer textures and effects, and electric piano ruminations that still venture beyond the outer limits of post-bop. The change-of-pace is one of Hancock's loveliest electric pieces, "Butterfly," a match for any tune he's written before or since, with shimmering synth textures and Bennie Maupin soaring on soprano (Hancock would re-record it 20 years later on Dis Is Da Drum, but this is the one to hear). This supertight jazz-funk quintet album still sounds invigorating a quarter of a century later."

A fantastic introduction to the label for the uninitiated, and a handy bonus buy for those in the know, the aim is to re-emphasise the satisfaction and value that can be found in the legal purchase of good quality music, with the obvious bonus of introducing a new set of music lovers to the oeuvre of Tru Thoughts.

Despite the cash-in title, Pulp Fusion is an intriguing compilation of mostly obscure jazz tracks that have been sampled by hip-hop and dance musicians over the years. Besides the delight inherent in spotting the sample, the songs work excellently by themselves, including Herbie Hancock's "Hang Up Your Hang Ups," Reuben Wilson's version of "Inner City Blues," Lonnie Smith on "Afrodesia" and the Pointer Sisters' "Don't It Drive You Crazy."

"The late Leon Thomas was a vocalist who has proven to be influential among jazz and blues saxophonists, guitarists, and pianists, who've admitted their debt to his innovation. However, though there are many jazz and blues vocalists who have benefited from his style as well, he is seldom acknowledged for his highly original — and idiosyncratic — contribution to them. One can only speculate as to why, though Thomas' full-throated style which employed everything from yodels and Joe Turner-ish growls and shouts may have been too wide for anyone to grasp in its entirety without overtly sounding as if they were aping him. At the time of this reissue (2001), the only other Leon Thomas titles available under his own leadership were a European best-of collection and the inferior live album (badly edited), Sunrise on Gold Mountain. Blues and the Soulful Truth is among the artist's most enduring performances, either as a leader or sideman. There is his trademark, otherworldly modal improvisation on Gabor Szabo's exotica classic 'Gypsy Queen,' the deep, greasy gutbucket, funky blues of 'Let's Go Down to Lucy' and 'L-O-V-E,' and the traditional tune 'C.C. Rider' — though Thomas' arrangement is anything but — among a lengthy, eight-song set. Perhaps the most revealing examples of his singularity is his ability to interpret a song like John Lee Hooker's 'Boom, Boom' as funky, jazzed-out, angular R&B — enabled mightily by the saxophone stylings of Pee Wee Ellis and the criminally under-appreciated pianism of Neal Creque and the wild violin of John Blair — after coming out of a pop-oriented soul tune such as 'Love Each Other,' written with a groove prevalent among commercial jazz and R&B recordings of the time, both sounding sincere, authentic, and completely full of the singer's presence. Indeed, on the aforementioned 'Gypsy Queen' or his own 'Shape Your Mind to Die,' Thomas inhabits his material fully, as if nobody ever had ever sung or heard these songs and would ever sing them again. Also, the production innovation and percussive touches many of these tunes have yet to be repeated (Pharoah Sanders, Thomas' previous employer who introduced the singer to the world, adopted some of the artist's percussive techniques permanently), like the firecrackers raining against Airto Moreira's drums and Larry Coryell's ethereal guitar riffs, or the use of a 'prepared' vibraphone and coat hangers in 'China Doll,' as they slip against the singer's wail and moan, and the elegant stick and brushwork of Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie. In sum, Blues and the Soulful Truth (Which does echo Oliver Nelson's Blues and the Abstract Truth in vision as well as title), is a tour through the depth and dimension of Thomas' mind-blowing abilities as a singer in a wide range of African American musical traditions, proving at the time, and now again, that he was far more than a free jazz singer. Indeed, the artist not only was a stylist of originality, but a composer, arranger, ethnomusicologist, and a singer of startling beauty and power — no matter the song. This album is a singular achievement, even among the fine recordings in Thomas' own catalogue, and should be considered first by those curious enough to look into his work — you won't be disappointed no matter what you find, but this one will take you places you never anticipated going."

About Afternoons In Stereo
Afternoons In Stereo is a music project based in Hamilton, Ontario -- Canada. The sound encompasses jazz, funk, latin, breakbeat, and downtempo.

Greg Vickers, the man behind Afternoons In Stereo, hails from Hamilton -- a city about an hour outside of Toronto. "My interest and passion for music can be traced way back to my childhood and adolescence -- I have had an unquenchable passion for music for as long as I can rememember".

In a time when the record industry is in flux, when the p2p revolution is changing the way we access music, and the electronic music scene thrives in pockets of small but dedicated followers, isn't it refreshing then that Vickers has created Afternoons In Stereo without the aid of a record label or distributor? "I do it because I love it and it is a way for me to express myself. I'm not just looking to make money.". A refreshing perspective, and an all-too-rare one.

Ahmad Jamal’s final Impulse! date documents his appearance at the 1971 Montreux Jazz Festival. Comprising two epic improvisations, each occupying an entire side of the LP, Outertimeinnerspace is a challenging but deeply rewarding effort that captures the pianist at his most profoundly spiritual, exploring otherworldly dimensions of space and sound. Jamal, bassist Jamil Nasser, and drummer Frank Gant all deliver performances of uncommon intensity, channeling the energy of the audience into music that pulses with life and crackles with inspiration. Both “Bogota” and “Extensions” demand listeners’ full immersion, and reward their efforts with music of uncommon daring.

70s action film-styled funk from the Italian scene from Signor Wolf - one that certainly lives up the experience promised by the title! The Signor Wolf approach is much more styled after the pulpy funk era soundtracks of the 70s than many of the JBs-born funk revival projects out there today - with tight, freaky guitars, persistently rollicking beats and spunky bass, organ, vibes and some subtle programmed elements.

The Diplomats of Solid Sound are back with their 5th full-length, and if the last album was their senior effort, with "What Goes Around Comes Around" the band has officially graduated! Once again mixed and edited by Freestyle's boy wonder Adam Gibbons aka Lack Of Afro and featuring The Diplomettes on vocals, the cuts included here are a strong showcase of the growing maturity and sophistication of the group. From the sing-along chorus of opening track "B-O-O-G-A-L-O-O", to the smooth soul number that gives the album its title, the uptempo "Back Off", or the instrumental groover "Bailout", "What Goes Around Comes Around" draws on a variety of styles but always keeping things soulful and funky!

The vintage sound of The Diplomats has been fine-tuned by almost a decade of releases, and ever since their first album in 2001 the band has been making a name for itself by firmly establishing it's credentials as one of the tightest contemporary soul outfits out there. The group can already count on the support of names such as Pete Isaac (Jelly Jazz), Mark Lamarr (BBC 2), Craig Charles (BBC 6), Rob Luis (Tru Thoughts), and Michael Ruetten (Compost Records), just to name a few, but with "What Goes Around Comes Around" The Diplomats Of Solid Sound raise the stakes up a notch. Though the formula remains unchanged, there's an added depth to the music, making this album a heavyweight must-have no matter how you listen to it!

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.

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
Label: Joyous Shout
Genre: Jazz
Quality: MP3 / Joint Stereo
Bitrate: VBR kbit/s / 44.1 Khz
Total Time: 01:15:40
Total Size: 102 mb

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!
