Barely disco and hardly jazz, Rupa Biswas 1982 LP is the halfway point
between Bollywood and Balearic. Tracked in Calgary’s Living Room Studios
with a crack team of Indian and Canadian studio rats alike, Disco Jazz
is a perfect fusion of East and West. Check the hit "Aaj Shanibar".Download
One of the most hard-grooving set we've heard from singer Mary Afi Usuah – a set that has all these deep, bassy currents on the bottom – which hold a nice groove underneath Mary's heavenly voice! Usuah has a range that's much greater than some of her contemporaries – no surprise, since she studied opera in Rome – but the style here is nicely gritty overall, with bumping bass and some riffing guitar that almost pushes some numbers into Betty Davis territory, but with more of a 70s Afro soul vibe. Imagine if Miriam Makeba made a funk record, and you'll get part of the feel of this unique little set – which includes the cuts "What's A Woman To Do", "Sweet Elijah", "Our Generation", "Spread More Love", "Kam Fat Owo", "African Woman", and "Tenkim Kpoho" Dusty Groove

Original Soundtrack from the Cop Film: "Una Magnum Special per Tony Saitta" aka "Blazing Magnum" with Stuart Whitman - John Saxon - Martin Landau - Tisa Farrow,. Directed by Martin Herbert aka Alberto De Martin. Trovajoli has composed and conducted a score that elegantly occupies a place of all respect in the Cops/Giallo movies' scoring. The score alternates between action-driven funky music to nostalgic/romantic music in a reflection of the two dimensions of the protagonist: his cop job full of tasks and his private life full of sadness, but he becomes the superhero of the story by taking vengeance against those who hurt him by killing his beloved sister, and ultimately discovering the unexpected truth.
