Panama Soul - Various Artists 12"

As a special treat Soundway here serve up three courses of Panamanian calypso-funk
and Caribbean soul from down on the isthmus. The 1960s and 70s were fertile times for
Panamanian music as Soundway's three volumes of the much loved Panama! series of
compilations has proved. Being the bridge between North and South America, Panama
became a melting pot of musical influences, with local bands playing to entertain not only
Panamanians, but also the hordes of sailors that passed through the canal from all over
the world. Consequently, the Combos Nacionales (as the family of local bands became
known) stuffed as many styles as possible into their repertoires from cumbia to salsa,
reggae, calypso and funk.

Barbara King - What I Did In The Street

Fryers and Jazzman are used to dealing with tracks that fall under the radar for all kinds of reasons, but this legendary Sister Funk cut out of sunny Florida is almost unique in that it missed its chance to shine twice. Originally recorded as a hard-nosed James Brown inspired funk number, then again years later as a more open disco-soul inspired dance floor cut that fits in with the current trend of the new funky Northern sound.

Harold - In The Cool Of The Night Shortage Of L

The single was released in the latter part of "82" it became pick hit of the week in Billboard Magazine in early "83". Both tunes were the first songs ever written by Harold, and his first recordings as a single artist.

The early 80's was a time of uncertainty. The economy was in a shambles and male/female relationships were starting to deteriorate, thus why is "A Shortage Of Love" is a pure reflection of the sentiment during those times.

Ironically, no one had flipped this record over until recently.

The band was a dynamic group of guys called The Brew City Band, with Johnnie Mills on guitar, Tommy Ford on bass, Michael Reese on keyboards, and Leonard Washington (deceased) on drums. The horns were arranged by Warren (Vito) Wiegratz now the leader of The Milwaukee Bucks (NBA) Basketball band. He is also the sax soloist. The background singers were Harold's sister, Charity Marie, his cousin, Cora Kemp, and his daughters, Latasha, and Taneka. This was recorded at Cornerstone Recording studio, a state of the art facility, engineered by David Seibaur.

Herbie Hancock - Sextant

Herbie Hancock

Sextant

12inchMOVLP522
Music On Vinyl
17.05.2018

Herbie Hancock is one of the most prolific jazz pianists of the 20th century. A child prodigy, he played with the greats such as Donald Byrd and Miles Davis. He was one of the first to embrace and master the electric piano, but he always stayed true to the acoustic sound. In fact, he always bounced back and forth between his electronic and acoustic sound, touching upon almost every development in R&B, Funk and Jazz while retaining an original and distinctive voice.
'Sextant' from 1973 was recorded just before 'Headhunters'(MOVLP030), and can be seen in the same vein, but it's more than just an introduction to a masterpiece. It features a kind of post-modal, free impressionism while gracing the edges of funk. Three long instrumental tracks explore how far minimalism in jazz can go. Music On Vinyl is re-issuing this Hancock gem for the first time since 1973!

Jungle By Night - Hidden 2x12"

the evolution of afrobeat - TONY ALLEN Jungle By Night drops their first full studio album on Kindred Spirits.
'Hidden' is the first full studio album from this group of dutch lads, who retain their youthful exuberance and innocent energy, and delve deeper into their own sound. Moving slightly away from the afro-beat blueprint that characterized last year's self-titled debut LP, the nine-piece have added Gamelan tones and studio effects to their afro-funk template, as well as exploring other parts of Africa like Mali's desert soul and djembe rhythms from Senegal. After two years of playing, and having performed over 80 gigs last year, the group have settled in their own rhythm, and 'Hidden' sees them trying out new ideas and forms.
Still keeping the unit strictly instrumental, one strength of Jungle By Night is their innate sense of democracy - the quality control of the hive mind. Tracks are jammed out and developed from the rehearsal room to the stage, keeping the audience in mind all the time. 'Hidden' feels very much like a live record, in the vein of classic jazz albums for example, while at the same time utilizing all the digital options that todays recording techniques have to offer.
The album opener 'Rangda' marks this new improved version of the band, using selected pieces of Gamelan. 'Two of our band members, their families are from Indonesia, and their houses are loaded with gamelan instruments. But the Gamelan tunings have little to do with western tunings. It just sounds eerie, hypnotic and mysterious,' said the band. 'Rangda' nods to the spirit of early Tortoise and mid-90's MoWax, and while Jungle By Night know how to stick to what they do best, they're partial to the odd experimental excursion too.
The album is laid out by a group who clearly understand live dynamics, building the tension of the first half of the LP with the tight riffs of 'Togetherness', the mix of west-coast organ and plaintive horns of '2 Days Before 2012' and 'Gallowstreet 34', which could easily soundtrack the 70's edition of GTA Addis Ababa. Mid-way through the album also points to an interesting path, the drum-less ambience of 'Night Fight', a duel of thumb pianos and slide guitar, awash with delays and reverbs, evoking fireflies and glow worms amid the nocturnal jungle creatures.
In the second half, tracks like 'Ethiopino', 'The Past Is History' and 'Marsvin' represent what Jungle By Night do best - taut, multi-layered grooves that are perfect for dancing to, or any other nocturnal activity you like to indulge in. One thing the boys know how to do is find the pocket and lock it, playing around with time signatures while keeping it dynamic. Perhaps the album's surprise gem is 'Ghettos Of The Mind', a languid, Tuareg-inspired roller where you can almost hear the wind whistling across the desert in the background. Producer Wiboud Burkens (Leon Ware, Michael Franti, Carleen Anderson, N'Dambi) has certainly helped craft the complex JBN dynamics into a coherent shape, which has allowed the band to play and experiment without having to worry about the final sound.
Hidden demonstrates natural talent and sensibility, but there's something more at work. While those outside the bubble will try to pinpoint or uncover the band's appeal and what makes them tick, somewhere between the many layers of sounds and rhythm, between the audience and the players, lies a connection that can't really be explained. Jungle By Night know better than to shine too bright a light on it.

Keyboard Masher - Afro Editions

Keyboard Masher

Afro Editions

12inchRESISTA004
RESISTA
23.04.2012

Famed for their self-released KM Editions series, Keyboard Masher join Daphni and Tom Croose in the Resista family with the roaring 'Afro Editions', two faultless edits that distill the spirit of mother Africa.

Opener 'JuJu' is an epic fifteen minute long journey filled with joyous, duelling guitars, syncopated percussion, shuffling rhythms and a myriad of unexpected passages and turns. Captivating from the off, there's only one word to describe 'JuJu' - magical.

On the flip ' Tcham Tcham' takes a more direct route to the dancefloor... Riding on a more electronic 4/4 beat, it's unashamedly leftfield, with a thunderous chug, a great guitar riff and deadpan calls of 'Tcham Tcham', which all builds up to an anthemic climax. Drop it and watch the dancefloor melt.
