Brick's second album release on the Bang imprint had the Atlanta-based funk ensemble standing on solid ground. "Dusic" came charging onto the charts and dancefloors nationwide, and for good reason. With falsetto-layered vocals and a gritty, soulful backing track, "Dusic" worked its way to number two on the R&B charts. With lead vocals sung in unison, "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody" came right behind it with plenty of locomotion and stamina. The single popped the Top Ten at number seven inside of 15 weeks. The self-contained band had to its credit the reed and brass virtuoso Jimmy Brown. On "Happy," Brown improvises his way through each verse, switching from one reed instrument to brass and back again -- an outstanding horn exhibition on this appropriately titled number. The entire album is superb.

The Meters - Here Comes The Meter Man 2CD (2011)



The Meters defined New Orleans funk, not only on their own recordings, but also as the backing band for numerous artists, including many produced by Allen Toussaint. Where the funk of Sly Stone and James Brown was wild, careening, and determinedly urban, The Meters were down-home and earthy. Nearly all of their own recordings were instrumentals, putting the emphasis on the organic and complex rhythms. The syncopated, layered percussion intertwined with the gritty grooves of the guitar and organ, creating a distinctive sound that earned a small, devoted cult during the '70s, including musicians like Paul McCartney and Robert Palmer, both of whom used the group as backing band for recording. Despite their reputation as an extraordinary live band, the Meters never broke into the mainstream, but their sound provided the basis for much of the funk and hip-hop of the '80s and '90s.

50 tracks representing all of the New Orleans funksters output for Josie Records from the late 1960's to the early 1970's. This fine 2CD reissue on Charly Records features The Meters three complete original albums "The Meters" (1969), "Look-Ka Py-Py" (1970) and "Struttin'" (1970) plus singles and rarities from their much-sampled catalogue. What makes this set unique is that this is the first time that The Meters' entire body of work released on Josie Records becomes available in one collection.

The attentive fan might recognize there's been pres made of The Meters collections before, with an anthology of their Josie years by group J** coming closest. Note that this 2011 reissue features different tracks. While the three albums are the same, this release adds at least 8 songs including the singles and rarities on disc 2. Enjoy!

Tito Puente - Greatest Hits




Tito Puente - Greatest Hits
MP3 320 kbps CBR 65:41 min 157 MB
Jazz, Latin Jazz Fania Records 19 April 2011

Tito Puente released over 150 albums in his stellar career. He and his orchestra were all about the dancers. He was also a musicians' musician in a time when a great band could actually thrive without radio play. The term ''Greatest Hits'' usually applies to the most commercial songs in a bands repertoire, in Tito's case let's just say they are a collection of some of his most extraordinary work. Twenty remastered tracks strong, this compilation sizzles from the opening round with classics such as ''Oye Como Va,'' ''Para Los Rumberos'' and many more. Covering more than one label and hosting a variety of great vocalists, Tito straddles the Mambo era and Jazz with equal ease. The album closes with the dancers favorite ''Ran Kan Kan'' to leave the dancers and also listeners chanting for just ''one more.'' Never-before released! Not be missed!

Glucklich -- in which a respected trip-hop producer and nu-jazz musician (A Forest Mighty Black's Rainer Trьby) -- compiles a series of German tracks produced in a Brazilian jazz-funk vibe during the '70s, by artists including Klaus Doldinger, Sunbirds, John Thomas, Rainer Pusch Quartet, Real Ax Band, and Namaz. The sound is smoother than smooth, with songs utterly divorced from their Teutonic origins. Most of the tracks float by as rather pleasant background fusion, halfway between Miles and the Rippingtons, but there are a few standout selections, including what could be an addition to the classic-rare-groove canon, "Mato Pato" by Kitty Winter Gipsy Nova.
