NICOLA CONTE PRESENTS VIAGEM 4 - LOST BOSSA AND SAMBA JAZZ CLASSICS FROM THE SWINGING 60s
A fresh,
breezy and brilliant compilation of rare Brazil – wonderful material from the
early 60s through the end of the decade – the fourth in the Viagem series
compiled by Nicola Conte, and it's the best yet! Viagem celebrates the jazzier
side of 60s Brazil – bossa, samba and rawly rhythmic Afro-Brazilian grooves
inspired by the best and freshest jazz of the US and European scenes. It's deep
stuff, too – with a lot of great material we're hearing for the first time! We
always expect the moon from Nicola Conte – whether it's his own modern, though
classic jazz-inspired grooves – or in his role as a masterful, generous
compiler. The man delivers every damn time! Includes "So Balanco" by
7 De Ouros, "Consolacao" by Myrzo Barroso, "Outra Vez" by
Bossa Jazz 3, "Balumba" by Anilza Leoni, "Cute" by Bwana
Trio, "Ponto De Vista" by As Compositoras, "Batucada
Surgiu" by Marcos Moran, "Saudade Vem Correndo" by Bossa Nova +
5, "Te Quero Assim" by Rosana Tapajos, "Gusto Do Que E Bom"
by Shirley E O Tuca Trio, "Pandeiro Triste" by Betinho Do Vibraphone
and more. 17 tracks in all. ~ Dusty Groove
THE JB's - FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The
classic first album by The JBs – James Brown's Fred Wesley-led backing band,
and the force behind most of his greatest records of the early 70s! The set
collects some of the group's best early singles, and includes all of the short
little funky cuts that made them a legend right out of the box – "Pass the
Peas", "The Grunt", "These Are The JBs", "Hot Pants
Road", "Wine Spot", "To My Brother", "Blessed
Blackness", "Theme From King Heroin", "Escapism (parts 1
& 2), and "Gimme Some More" – all together here in one tight
little album of massive funky hard beats and breaks! ~ Dusty Groove
OTIS REDDING - PAIN IN MY HEART
One of
Otis Redding's greatest LPs! Unlike some of his others – which either had some
filler, some gimmicks, or were collections of material released after his death
– this one is a totally solid batch of southern soul tracks that ranks with
some of the best work to come out of Memphis during the 60s. The record
features some real gems – originals by Redding like "Hey Hey Baby",
"Security", "These Arms Of Mine", "Something Is
Worrying Me", and "That's What My Heart Needs" – plus some great
covers, like "The Dog", "Pain In My Heart", and "I
Need Your Lovin". ~ Dusty Groove
