The funky Rob way is a massive one at that – a new path into Afro Funk
modes for the 70s, with a groove that's made this set a collectors
classic for decades! The group is tighter than most, yet more skittish
too – percussion rattling alongside basslines that have these echoey
qualities that go deep and dark, but with more of a soul-based style
than some of the psych-influence work from Zimbabwe and other scenes of
the time! Spare electronic bits come into play with the keyboards,
guitar, drums, and bass – but at a level that's never overdone – just
enough to keep things slightly offbeat and unsettling, while Rob himself
grooves away in the lead! It's almost impossible to describe in words
what makes this set so unique – but one drop of the needle will have you
hooked for life – thanks to cuts that include "Funky Rob Way", "Forgive
Us All", "Boogie On", "Just One More Time", "More", and "Your Kiss
Stole Me Away". By dustygroove
Ιn 1970 Miles Davis released his ground
breaking Jazz fusion album Bitches Brew, in the same year fellow
trumpeter Chet Baker attempted to crossover and attract rock music fans
with his LP Blood, Chet and Tears.
The album is known as a “Guilty Pleasure”
for Chet Baker fans as it’s far from straight Jazz and could be
considered his “Sell out” record. On the LP he plays tribute to Blood,
Sweat and Tears with the album title and a cover of Spinning Wheel. He
also covers The Beatles – Something, The Box Tops – The Letter, The
Archies – Sugar Sugar, The Sandpipers – Come Saturday morning and Laura
Nyro – And When I Die.
Embedded for your listening pleasure are covers of Vehicle by The Ides of March and Chet’s version of Santana’s Evil Ways. By voicesofeastanglia.
Tony Iglio, born in 1932, has been one of the most popular orchestral
arrangers of RAI (Italian National Television) and has composed over
1500 songs. Son of art, over the years he has played with and for the
most important figures of the last century in Italy. Drugstore was
recorded in 1971 in a small theatre in Napoli by a combo of professional
musicians and is rated the weirdest and most insane Italian library of
the early 70's mixing jazz, psychedelia, effects and purcussions.
Rare classic work from Gloria Ann Taylor – working in a soaring setting
with the Walter Whisenhunt Orchestra! "Deep Inside You" has this unusual
flow – almost stop/start in energy, but with Taylor really soaring out
on her vocals, as some cool vibes and other sweet touches work some
magic in the background.
60s jazz meets Japanese bamboo flute – all in a session with a great mix
of groovy and exotic touches! The record's a unique meeting of jazz
and folkloric elements – done in a style that's a bit like some of the
late 60s sessions of this nature on MPS, but a fair bit groovier overall
– as the tracks are shorter and more focused, and often have a nice
sort of bounce at the bottom. Flute is by Minoru Muraoka, and
arrangements are by Takashi Ikeda and Kozaburo Yamaki, conducting their
New Dimension and New Emotion groups respectively. Bits of sitar bring
in an even groovier sound to the record – and the flute itself has some
oddly off-kilter notes that further trip out the tunes.
