Riz Ortolani - Confessione Di Un Commissario Di Polizia Al Procuratore Della Repubblica (Italy, Reissue 1971/2017 )

 

A rare and gorgeous obscurity from the never-ending depths of the 1970’s Italian film soundtrack world. This one is from a 1971 crime caper named Confessione Di Un Commissario Di Polizia Al Procuratore Della Repubblica, and Riz Ortolani does an excellent job conjuring up funky action sounds and brassy tension. Really lovely stuff! Price of the original copy (RCA Original Cast - 1971): 300-350$

Check the dramatic "Main Theme"  & the killer jazz-funk "Il Ricordo Di Serena Part 1&2" or the organ storm "I Travestiti".

Ασυνήθιστα μπάσα, περίτεχνα κιθαριστικά περάσματα, εξαίρετα ντραμς ενωμένα με κινηματογραφικούς ρυθμικούς ήχους, δραματικούς αυτοσχεδιασμούς, easy listening και jazz-funk ακούσματα, συνθέτουν αυτό το περίτεχνο μουσικό κομψοτέχνημα! Link

Kapingbdi - Born in the Night (Liberia, Sonorama - 2019)

 

Kapingbdi came together in Liberia, West Africa, during the late 1970’s and had their own unique style. This six to seven-piece band played original compositions in a vibrant mix of African Rhythms, Soul, Spiritual Jazz, Funk and Rock. Led by Kojo Samuels on sax, flute and vocals “Born in The Night” presents the essential tracks from their rare studio LPs produced between 1978-1981. The work has been carefully edited and remastered in 2019 for vinyl LP and a 6-Page Digipack CD from Sonorama Label. Kapingbdi hail from Liberia, West Africa and have their own imitable style. They effortlessly combine traditional African music in a modern mix of Spiritual Jazz, Funk, Soul and Rock. The band is a fusion of the old and the new. 

Check the Afro-fusion "You Go Go You Go Come" with unique style & the instro-monster "Kapingbdi".

Η μπάντα  Kapingbdi προέρχεται απο την Λιβερία. Είναι μια 'πολιτικοποιημένη' μπάντα που παντρεύει έξοχα afrobeat, highlife και παραδοσιακούς Αφρικάνικους ρυθμούς με Spiritual jazz funk και rock, με ενα προσωπικό στυλ. Η Sonorama μαζεύει τις καλύτερες ηχογραφήσεις τους απο τα δυσκολόβρετα άλμπουμ τους το 1978-1981 και μας τις παραδίδει - όπως πάντα - με πολύ καλή ηχητική ανάλυση. Download

Solid Bronze - The Fruit Basket (Schnitzel Records, 2019)

 

For their debut album, New Jersey duo Solid Bronze embrace the greats of 1970s funk and soul. Produced by Chris Hartford and Mickey "Dean Ween" Melchiondo, The Fruit Basket draws heavily from the likes of Curtis Mayfield, Sly Stone, Archie Sheep, and the more electric period of Miles Davis, while hints of early psychedelia and R&B bleed into its sound. Boasting a healthy contribution of notable artists – including Parliament/Funkadelic guitarist Michael "Kidd Funkadelic" Hampton, Morphine saxophonist Dana Colley, and Ween keyboardist Glenn McClelland – Solid Bronze produce a debut album that supersedes the quality implied by their name; one which demonstrates their talent as musicians and aficionados of their genre.
Check the funky "Hard to Keep the Faith" with melodic horns, great drum solo & mighty vocal refrain and the amazing (like Funkadelic) mid-tempo funk "Midnite Goose" with very amusing vocals.

Πολύ καλό  ντεμπούτο απο τους Solid Bronze, οι οποίοι αναμιγνύουν στο μουσικό τους μπλέντερ στοχεία απο 70'ς funk & soul, μελωδικά πνευστά, δυνατά μπάσα και ντραμς, επιρροές απο  Sly Stone, Funkadelic κ.α., ψυχεδέλεια και ροκ στοιχεία, καθώς και άκρως διασκεδαστικά φωνητικά, παραδίνοντας ενα άκρως ενδιαφέρον funky κομψοτέχνημα.

Brian Browne Trio - Blues for the U.F.O./Flowers On The Wall 7" (USA, Academy -1966)

 

Groovy mod-soul-jazz piano numbers. Check the "Flowers On The Wall", a song made famous the American country group Statler Brothers, which appeared also in 'Pulp Fiction' ost. 

2 soul-jazz διαμαντάκια επηρεασμένα απο την mod jazz σκηνή των 60's, με βασικό πρωταγωνιστή το πιάνο, τα οποία θυμίζουν έντονα την πρώιμη δουλειά του Ramsey Lewis. Το "Flowers On The Wall" είναι διασκευή του ομώνυμου τραγουδιού των Statler Brothers, το οποίο βρίσκουμε στο σάουντρακ της ταινίας Pulp Fiction. Download
