LARRY ACHIAMPONG - Meh Mogya (Sample Of Me)

LARRY ACHIAMPONG - Meh Mogya (Sample Of Me) (Look Mama) Comentários: This is special. The first side itches identity, family and culture via a raw, Madlibbed, fucked-up re-jigging of classic, scratchy Ghanaian highlife, lit up by sampled fighting talk from the great Kwame Nkrumah. The flip drops the same B-Boy science along Edgware Road in West London — the highlife gone, the hiphop turning spooked Bass, incorporating ambient recording and the tough poetry and pithy interjections of a bunch of Fresh Start students, and passers-by. Silk-screened sleeves; two hundred copies in all. Warmly recommended. via phonica. [ Buy Here ] MEH MOGYA (SAMPLE OF ME) by Larry Achiampong

M'BOOM - Re Percussion (Think! Japan)

M'BOOM - Re Percussion (Think Japan) Comentários: A highly percussive little album – and the first-ever appearance of the M'Boom ensemble on record! You might know the group from their later fame under the guidance of Max Roach, but here the combo is a much more equally-assembled cast of players – featuring not just Roach, but percussionists Roy Brooks, Joe Chambers, Omar Clay, Freddie Waits, Richard Pablo Landrum, and Warren Smith! Given that lineup, you've got a group that represents the forefront of jazz and creative percussion work at the start of the 70s – and added to the mix is the ultimate freedom allowed by the Strata East label – which has the group really stretching out in these amazing ways! Things are never too free or outside, and there's always a nicely spiritual core to the record – but there is an incredible shift between percussive rhythms and melody – on instrumentation that includes vibes, tympani, xylophone, marimba, drums, and plenty of percussion

SHABAZZ PALACES esta Segunda-feira 28 Novembro no Music Box, Lisboa

SHABAZZ PALACES esta Segunda-fe ira 28 Novembro no Music Box, Lisboa Quando ouvimos os primeiros dois EPs dos Shabazz Palaces (e mais um tema exclusivo num split de 7”), ainda em 2010, nem queríamos acreditar no quão poderosa e inesperada era a música que nos estavam a chegar aos ouvidos. Hip-hop a sério, feito por uma das suas figuras dos anos 90, o agora “renomeado” Palaceer Lazaro, ex-Digable Planets. Arquetipal vítima de indústria discográfica pré-era digital, teve tempo para projectar e concretizar uma visão completamente aparte, radicalmente fresca, e o melhor que ouvimos no hip hop esteticamente mais progressivo desde o 2º álbum dos Clipse. ‘Black Up’, editado já este ano pela Sub Pop, é um clássico instantâneo. Letras monumentais, um dos melhores MCs do mundo (ponto), produção com a música negra dos últimos cem anos memorizada e profundamente integrada na composição, e um futurismo que nada tem de protótipo – visões do amanhã hoje, altamente vividas e humanizadas. Surgiu apenas

Matthew LARKIN CASSELL - The Complete Works

Matthew LARKIN CASSELL - The Complete Works (Stones Throw US) Comentários: San Francisco's Matthew Larkin Cassell presents his '...Complete Works' for Stones Throw. As the story goes... Larkin happened to notice a sample of his music in the Madvillainy Remixes set and promptly contacted the label. The outcome of that exchange is this LP, compiling each of his three DIY-produced and self-released records. He name checks the Sons of Champlin, Tower of Power, Paul Simon, Steely Dan, and Laura Nyro as his influences and that's clearly evident in his soulful mixture of rock, jazz and pop. Original copies of those fateful records now sell for stupid money and Cassell is now producing new material. LP is housed in full colour gatefold sleeve with original artwork by the artist. in boomkat [ Para Ouvir/Samples ]

Roy & THE ARTISTIC TRUTH BROOKS feat EDDIE JEFFERSON/BLACK ROSE - Ethnic Expressions: Live At Small's Paradise NYC

BROOKS, Roy & THE ARTISTIC TRUTH - Ethnic Expressions (Jazzman) Comentários: Amazing sounds from drummer Roy Brooks -- very spiritual work that's quite a change from his straighter soul jazz of the 60s! The album's right up there with Roy's better-known (though still rare) live performance at Town Hall -- or his classic Free Slave session -- and like those records, this one explodes with a raw power that's really amazing -- heavy drums from Brooks, driving a collective of righteous musicians that really stretch out in the free space of the recording! The lineup shifts a bit from track to track, but there's a cohesive spirit to the record that comes from Brooks' bold spirit -- a joyous, soulful, post-Coltrane sort of energy -- let loose in the lead, to guide the talents of players who include John Stubblefield on tenor, Sonny Fortune on alto, Olu Dara and Cecil Bridgewater on trumpets, Hamiet Bluiett on baritone sax, Joe Bonner on piano, and Reggie Workman o

MUHSINAH - Always (Smile)

MUHSINAH - Always (Smile) ( All City Ireland ) Comentários: All City deliver a steaming hot plate displaying the vocal excellence of Muhsinah atop beats from 00Genesis and the mighty Flying Lotus. If you do the whole beats thing you're no doubt familiar with the warm soul breeze of her vocal cords. They've graced tunes for everyone from Mike Slott to Common and many more still. With 'Always (Smile)' she sends out a message of positivity set to reconfigured bossa grooves in stumbling nu-skool style before really killing it on 'Lose My Fuse'. Fly lo beautifully highlights her vocals with a bluesy astrosoul beat which eventually dissipates only to come back in with a naked rimshot rhythm and heavenly harmonised vocals. It's worth it for this moment alone. Lovely stuff - limited copies. in boomkat [ Para Ouvir/Samples ]

KINDRED SPIRITS ENSEMBLE - Love Is Supreme

KINDRED SPIRITS ENSEMBLE - Love Is Supreme (Kindred Spirits) Comentários: The Kindred Spirits Ensemble join forces again for a beautiful set of spiritual jazz standards. The weighty ensemble comprises of some 20 odd arrangers, instrumentalists and even a choir, enabling them to embellish lush versions of classics from Pharoah Sanders 'The Creator Has A Masterplan' and John Coltrane 'Naima'. If you felt the recent records from Carlos Niño or have a soft spot for Sun-ra, this is your bag. in boomkat [ Para Ouvir/Samples ] Kindred Spirits Ensemble - Strings of Life from Kindred Spirits on Vimeo .

KINGDOM AFROCKS - Live In Afro City

KINGDOM AFROCKS - Live In Afro City ( P-Vine Japan ) Comentários: Having built up a reputation as a good live act, the nine-piece Kingdom Afrocks have chosen to showcase their live show on their debut album, which features six performances from 2007 at three different Tokyo venues. They are perhaps one of the only current Japanese bands playing afrobeat-inspired tunes and they attack the genre with plenty of energy, as anyone who has been to one of their shows can confirm. in tokyo jazz notes [ Para Ouvir/Samples ]

J DILLA - Originals: A Continuous Mix Of Funk & Soul As Sampled By J Dilla ( Boom Box ) Comentários: New digipack with "a continuous mix of funk & soul as sampled by J DILLA".
