THE GREAT BRAZILIAN ESCAPE FEATURING NINA MIRANDA
Under
the authorization of Peter Bernstein, son of Elmer Bernstein (Academy
Award-winning composer of more than 200 film scores) Far Out Recordings is
pleased to present a Brazilian version of The Great Escape. Since
the 1963 release of the Steve McQueen film 'The Great Escape', the theme has
become a standard for England's football supporters. In the same way Brazil
took the English game of football & made it beautiful & sexy this track
takes the English fans' ’The Great Escape’ track out of the terraces and turns
it into a cool, beautiful & sexy modern anthem. It is
the antithesis of old football song clichés like Vindaloo etc & contrived
sexualised related tracks from Shakira & J-Lo. It uses some of the most talented
musicians in Rio & London with Brazilian Nina Miranda to create a cool
beautiful & sexy track that not only captures the heart of the Brazil
favelas but the modern game of football too. Out on
iTunes Monday, 23rd of June.
JOEY HEATHERTON - THE JOEY HEATHERTON ALBUM
Was
there a sexier 70s celebrity than Joey Heatherton? It's hard to think so – and
the cover of this one is more than enough proof that she was America's greatest
answer to Brigitte Bardot! And while we certainly remember her from countless
variety show appearances at the time, it's actually a bit hard to remember her
as a singer (something that's due, no doubt, to the fact that we were so busy
looking – not listening!) The album's done in a sexy sort of 70s pop mode –
slight country touches on a few tunes, but mostly glistening adult-styled
backings from the team of Tony Scotti and Tommy Oliver. Tunes include "God
Only Knows", "It's Not Easy", "Right Or Wrong",
"I'm Sorry", "Gone", "Say Hello", and
"Someone To Watch Over Me". ~ Dusty Groove
ORGAN EXPLOSION - ORGAN EXPLOSION
They're
not lying with the title of this one – as the group's got a nicely explosive
sound on Hammond – a groove that's rooted in old school soul jazz, but which
takes on all these funky twists and turns as well! Yet Organ Explosion are
definitely more jazz than funk – and really have a fresh feel that's different
than the usual retro combo – a groove that's not content to just hang back in
classic modes, but which instead draws all their best influences and creates
this new fusion of organ, bass, and drums! There's an appeal here that reminds
us of the first time we ever heard Medeski Martin & Wood – but without any
of the clunkiness that quickly came later – and although a few tracks have
guest instrumentation, most of the core grooves come from the trio. Titles
include "Dark Heaven", "Kung Fu Funk", "Momi Likes Her
Boy", "Organ Explosion Supershow", "Kase", and
"Gear Down". ~ Dusty Groove
