Mandala - Mandala 1976 (Morisom)

Label : Morisom

Value : 

A really heavyweight album from the Brazilian scene of the 70s – recorded by a group of artists who were really helping to transform the sound of jazz at the time! There are elements that are familiar here, but served up in these really fresh ways – changing up the rhythmic and melodic progressions, and the way the instruments interact – warmer in spirit than the music of Hermeto Pascoal, but with an equally sophisticated sort of vibe! The quintet features players you'll likely know from a range of other recordings – killer lineup that includes Nelson Ayres on piano, Zeca Assumpcao on bass, Ze Eduardo Nazario on drums and percussion, Luiz Roberto Oliveira on guitar and keyboards, and Roberto Sion on sax and flute.

The last post of the Year.

I wish all the best. 

Keep the good music alive guys and... Stay Loose!

Greetings from Greece!

Hiroshi Suzuki - Cat 1976 (Nippon Columbia)

Label : Nippon Columbia 

Value :

A great bit of electric jazz from the Japanese scene of the 70s – an album that easily rivals the best CTI work in the US at the time! Trombonist Hiroshi Suzuki heads up a quintet here – one that's heavy on electric piano and keyboards, played in a stretched-out sort of groove that reminds us a lot of the energy on Freddie Hubbard's funkiest albums from the same period. The tracks are all quite long – and step out with a wonderfully rhythmic sensibility – spare at times, and very focused on the right rolling approach to the groove. Suzuki's trombone solos are matched by some equally great sax work from Takeru Muraoka – and rhythm is from Kunimitsu Inaba on bass and Akira Ishikawa on drums. Filled with great breaks and laidback jazzy grooves

Serge Gainsbourg - Strip Tease 1963 (Philips)

Label : Philips

Value : 

Original Soundtrack of this 1963 movie classic, Arranged by Alain Gourager. Strip Tease vocals by Juliette Greco and starring Nico. Between appearing in La Dolce Vita and cutting a single with Jimmy Page and Andrew Loog Oldham, Nico beat out Ursula Andress for the lead role in a feature film: Jacques Poitrenaud’s 1963 Strip-Tease (a/k/a Sweet Skin and Lady Strip Tease). Billed as “Krista Nico,” she stars as German dancer Ariane, a character described by Poitrenaud as “a stripper lost in the nocturnal world.”

Luis Enriquez Bacalov – Carrefour / Sistemo L'America E Torno - Seq. 7 2017 (Four Flies)

Label : Four Flies

Value :

The Italian funk god Luis Enriquez Bacalov is celebrated here with this unmissable 7-inch record, featuring two of his grooviest tracks ever: on the A-side, the legendary CARREFOUR is maybe his funkiest soundtrack piece, here released for the first time in its entirety, with an unexpected introduction via a powerful horn section, which was cut from the original 1976 RCA 7’’. Behold an eternal jazz-funk masterpiece with solid drum breaks and hip hop heavy beats, funky congas, wah wah guitar, psychedelic organ. This track was used for the 1976 movie “Colpita da improvviso benessere”, directed by Franco Giraldi, but was originally conceived for the 1974 movie “Sistemo l'America e torno” by Nanni Loy. For the B-side, we have chosen from this same score another killer groovy track which was already compiled on our ESTERNO NOTTE Vol. 1 compilation. SISTEMO L’AMERICA E TORNO - SEQ. 7 has a tremendous rhythm section, a wonderful guitar riff, psychedelic flute, and stunning Hammond organ solos. This is another future classic from the golden age of Italian soundtracks!
