SLOWLY ROLLING CAMERA
Slowly
Rolling Camera is a new project that teams pianist-composer Dave Stapleton,
producer Deri Roberts, vocalist-lyricist Dionne Bennett and drummer Elliot
Bennett. It is proof positive that some of the most interesting work arises
from a meeting of many minds. The result is music that has distinct echoes of
the ‘invisible soundtracks’ of UK progressives Cinematic Orchestra and 4 Hero as
well as the polychrome textures of maverick Scandinavian artists like Sigor
Rós. Slowly Rolling Camera are purveyors of mysterious audio vignettes, moulded
by a structural sophistication plugged straight into the vibrant emotional
current of pop culture.
LALO SHIFRIN - NO ONE HOME (INCLUDES BONUS TRACKS)
A sweet
set of fusiony soul from Lalo Schifrin – actually better than most of his other
late 70s efforts, including some of his soundtrack work! The album's in the
same territory that Quincy Jones was hitting at the time – at its core, a set
of funky electric jazz – but done with an expansive approach that also brings
in soulful vocals on most tracks, really hitting some nice R&B-styled
fusion grooves! Sylvia Smith is the lead singer on most of the vocal tunes, and
other players include west coast soul jazzers like Ndugu Chancler, Oscar
Brashear, Paul Jackson, Ronnie Foster, and Patrice Rushen. Titles include
"Memory Of Love", "Middle Of The Night", "No One
Home", "Enchanted Flame", and "Oh Darlin Life Goes
On". ~ Dusty Groove
