Raul De Souza - Colors (1975)
Artist: Raul De Souza
Title Of Album: Colors
Year Of Release: 2011
Label: BGP Records / CDBGPM239
Genre: Fusion, Funk, Modal, Latin Jazz
Total Time: 40:41 min
Cast from a different mould is 'Festival,' a highly propulsive Latin-inflected groove driven by a Brazilian samba beat and dominated by oodles of percussion. Another highlight is 'Canto De Ossanha,' a swaggering large ensemble piece featuring some great interplay between De Souza and Cannonball Adderley (sadly it was one of Cannon's last sideman appearances û he died nine months later). A lovely, plaintive version of Chick Corea's 'Crystal Silence' demonstrates (especially in its ruminative opening before the song really takes off) that the Brazilian trombonist could play with great sensitivity when required. After this impressive album û his first in the USA - the hirsute De Souza (who boasted a humongous Afro hairdo) signed to Capitol in the late-'70s and recorded three LPs (including the excellent 'Sweet Lucy'). But it was with 'Colors' that his reputation started to grow.
TRACKLIST:
1 - Nana
2 - Canto de Ossanha
3 - Water Buffalo
4 - Dr. Honoris Causa

Review by Alex Henderson:
It's always regrettable when a talented jazz improviser puts jazz on the back burner, and that's exactly what Roy Ayers did when he made soul and funk his primary emphasis in the late '70s. As a jazz vibist, Ayers showed great potential in the '60s and early '70s, so it's understandable that jazz lovers were sorry to see him give up instrumental jazz. But when jazz purists claimed that Ayers' soul/funk output was worthless, they were dead wrong. The truth is that while Let's Do It doesn't have much to offer from a jazz standpoint, it's an excellent R&B outing. Ayers and Ubiquity are as appealing on the infectious funk hit "Freaky Deaky" as they are on "Kiss," "You Came Into My Life," and other examples of mellow, relaxed quiet storm music. While the LP's more mellow offerings have jazz overtones, it's important to realize that they're R&B tunes first and foremost -- saying that something is jazzy is not the same as calling it jazz. Let's Do It isn't the place to go looking for either acoustic jazz or electric jazz-fusion, but it's well worth obtaining if you're interested in '70s soul/funk.
Tracklist:
01. Let's Do It (Ayers-Allen) - 5:27
02. Melody Maker (Allen) - 5:04
03. When Is Real Real? (Ayers-Kinnard) - 8:07

Despite a lack of attention from most print sources and other common avenues of publicity in the blues world, Marvin Sease has turned his smooth, X-rated ladies' man persona into a cottage industry complete with merchandising in the Deep South. Sease straddles the line between blues and gospel-drenched soul, much like fellow Southern singers Johnnie Taylor and Tyrone Davis, but his often racy lyrics and concert performances, coupled with the advantages of major-label distribution, have ensured Sease a strong following, particularly among female fans enamored of his signature song and breakthrough jukebox hit, the provocative, innuendo-laced "Candy Licker." Born in Blackville, S.C., Sease got his start by joining a gospel group in nearby Charleston called the Five Gospel Singers, and moved to New York at age 20, where he joined another gospel group called the Gospel Crowns. Preferring R&B, though, Sease put together a backing band (called Sease) featuring his three brothers. When this venture failed, Sease began singing to pre-recorded backing tracks at local dances and clubs, self-released several 45s, and eventually scored a regular gig at a Brooklyn nightspot called the Casablanca. Gunning for greater success, Sease recorded a self-titled LP in 1986 featuring one of his most popular songs, "Ghetto Man," and began working the South's so-called chitlin circuit of ghetto bars, rural juke joints, and blues festivals. While shopping the LP, released on his own Early label, to record stores, Sease stumbled upon a contact who eventually got him a deal with Polygram, which re-released the LP on London/Mercury in 1987 with the addition of the newly recorded, ten-minute track "Candy Licker." "Candy Licker" became an underground success on jukeboxes across the South; it was too explicit for radio airplay, but audiences — especially female ones — flocked to see Sease in concert. Over the next ten years, Sease recorded a string of albums for London/Mercury (Breakfast, 1987; The Real Deal, 1989; Show Me What You Got, 1991) and the New York-based Jive (The Housekeeper, 1993; Do You Need a Licker?, 1994; Please Take Me, 1996) that sold consistently well, although none have yet matched the performance of Marvin Sease, which hit number 14 on Billboard's R&B chart and number 114 on the pop chart. Several more releases were issued before the '90s came to a close: Bitch Git It All (1997), Hoochie Momma (1999). Women Would Rather Be Licked was issued in early 2001. The live CD and DVD Live with the Candy Licker both appeared in 2005.

Benin-based West African funk fusionists Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo de Cottonou have enjoyed a long career; amazingly, they're still recording now, some 43 years after forming. This excellent retrospective from Analog Africa takes a closer look at their "glory years" between 1969 and '80, putting more flesh on the bones with a superb 44-page booklet featuring interviews with band members. Their style - a riotous, Hammond-heavy mix if funk, high life, Afrobeat, juju, jazz and Rhumba - is distinctive. What makes the compilation more essential, though, is the unashamed quality of the tracks; you'll find few deeper, sunnier Afro tracks than the brilliant "Min We Tun So".

Title Of Album: Cold Heat: Heavy Funk Rarities 1968-1974 Vol. 1

Now-Again Records, run by hip-hop label Stones Throw manager Egon, does release some new material, but it is dedicated to finding and reissuing the music from both obscure and more celebrated funk artists of the 1960s and '70s. 2001's The Funky 16 Corners reintroduced some of the lost names of the genre to the world, and Cold Heat: Heavy Funk Rarities 1968-1974, Vol. 1 is a follow-up to that, with, as stated in the title, tracks that most people have never heard before, and that would otherwise be nearly impossible to find. Luckily, in this case "rare" doesn't also mean "bad." Egon went to great length to find the master tapes of these tracks (many of which were the B-sides to the artists' less-obscure releases), and when needed, edited different versions together himself, so the sound quality is superb, as is the music itself. Probably due to the fact that he is also a DJ, Egon focuses on songs that are rhythm-heavy. Vocals, if they even exist, generally consist of short, repeated phrases that interact with the horn parts (the two notable exceptions being the Aristocrats Organization's "Don't Go," featuring soul vocalist Linda Blakely, and Leon Michison's nearly rapped verses on "Street Scene"). Instead, the focus is absolutely given to the groove, the beat, and almost all the songs have a breakdown where the rhythm section -- the tinny guitar, the frenzied drums, the syncopated bass -- is allowed to show off its chops. And while everything definitely falls within the deep funk realm, influences vary from psychedelic soul (like in "Loaded to the Gills" by Michael Liggins & the Supersouls) to blues (in "Cold Heat" by Lil' Lavair & the Fabulous Jades) to rock (in the instrumental version of "Drugs Ain't Cool" by Ebony Rhythm Band, the house band for the Indianapolis-based LAMP Records during the label's golden years). It's a good album, with a lot of talent, and a lot of great music that has been lost in dusty record crates for years, all of which is funky and soulful enough to make even the sternest of listeners shake his hips.
