Gilles Peterson Presents Havana Cultura
18/11/09 18:25
The cold war ice continues to melt in Cuba. Overseen by BBC world DJ Gilles Peterson, this double CD set is a snapshot of Havana's music scene two generations on from Buena Vista Social Club. Album one is Peterson's own studio production, a jazzy groove romp with a session band led by piano tyro Roberto Fonseca. Album two is a collection of Peterson's current Cuban faves, heavy on hip-hop from groups such as Free Hole Negro, but also embracing salsa, reggaeton and pop. Whatever the style, delightful quirkiness and invention interplay with the island's trademark rhythms. Fascinating.

Shibuya is the new project from the creative minds of NICOLAY and PHONTE COLEMAN, better known as THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE, whose sophomore album, the independent R&B/Soul smash Leave It All Behind (TFE/Hard Boiled; Oct. 2008), continues to gain momentum as the duo and their extended family of singers and musicians currently tour the United States and Canada with their critically acclaimed live show. The countless performances together have added a new level of sophistication to the musical output of Nicolay and Phonte, resulting in what they themselves consider to be one of their most ambitious projects yet.

RAD. - Getting Down Is Free - (2009)
15/10/09 17:51
Rad. grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and began playing piano at the age of 4. In 1990 she completed her jazz studies at U.C. Berkeley. The West Coast music scene quickly got hip to rad.'s latin jazz chops and she was soon playing with legendary musicians like Pete Escovedo, Benny Velarde (Cal Tjader), Orestes Vilato (Santana), Ray Obiedo and David Garibaldi among others. Her move to Europe in 1991 marked the beginning of her solo career. With the encouragement of her husband and producer Michael Kirsch (co-founder of the Soulciety Record label), rad. became Rose Ann's solo project, a funk show spiced with latin flavors.

Excellent Gentleman - Just Say Yes
12/08/09 14:56

Excellent Gentlemen plays danceable, vocal soul r&b music. Think '70s block parties and the foundations of golden-age hip-hop records. Their music stands for positivity, love, happiness and getting sexy; this is definitely NOT the drudgery of mediocre Indie-Rock. Their adopted home of Portland, OR has welcomed with open arms the injection of real live dance party music played by real live musicians. On the strength of their incredible live show, the independently-run band has ignited an adoring fan base and has become the hot touring funk act in the Pacific Northwest.

The Souljazz Orchestra - Freedom No Go Die
14/07/09 22:52
info:
The group released its latest album, Freedom No Go Die, in September of 2006. This high-energy release features the vocal stylings of Rwandan/Burundian musician Mighty Popo, as well as those of soul sisters Marielle Rivard and Alanna Stuart. The album has since created quite a stir on the international DJ scene: "firing horns, funky keyboards and polyrhythmic beats to rock dance floors" enthused Straight No Chaser, "a sound as tight as the power fists that adorn the cover" raved Exclaim. IDJ has also sung the album’s praises: "A marching groove and firing horns evoke not only the spirit of a certain Mr. Anikulapo-Kuti, but also a packed shrine going nuts. Amazing stuff." The listeners of Gilles Peterson’s BBC radio show actually voted the album’s opening track, Mista President, as one of the top ten tracks of the year.

--------------
1. The Souljazz Orchestra - Mista President (6:36)

Jeff Cascaro - Mother And Brother
07/05/09 08:40
Probably … when I say soul music in Germany, some of you JazzandSoulers will certainly knit their brows. However … soul music lives in Germany. Just think about TokTokTok (a fantastic German soul duo), Brenda Boykin (who operates out of Germany), etc. Another marvelous release to head our way is the latest work by Jeff Cascaro. His album, Mother and Brother features 11 tracks combining some classic covers and Jeff’s personal work, and I have to state that this concept Works just fine.
