"Mandrill" ce n'est pas qu'un singe, c'est aussi le nom d'un groupe de funk majeur fondé en 1968 par quatre frères et qui reste à ce jour un des plus samplé de l'histoire du hip-hop . Originaires du Panama, nés d'un père jamaicain et d'une mère barbadienne, Carl, Lou, Ric et Wilfredo 'Wolf' Wilson ont dès l'âge de cinq ans un instrument dans les mains. Rêvant d'une vie meilleure, ils traversent l'Atlantique et s'installent à Brooklyn au début des années 50. A l'époque, le quartier de Bedford–Stuyvesant [...]

We haven't put up any straight up hardcore disco in a long time so here you go. It is impossible to put these joints on and not want to invite all the foos in the neighborhood over for a dance party; unless you live where I live, then again, OK it's a bad idea altogether. Just convince BT to throw a matinee party at his house in LA and go hang out in his heated pool. This Mandrill Jam reminds me or a mix between Tempest Trio's Do You Like The Way That It Feels [...]

Mandrill: Official | Facebook | Twitter It was a beautiful sunny summer day when I first heard the funky fresh music of MANDRILL. Cruising through the streets of Long Beach for a ride with Dr. Epic in the stealth mobile, I couldn't help but groove to the beat with the stereo on full blast. Layers of percussion, groovy bass lines, and a glaring horn section are what made me an official Mandrill lover from the moment those sound waves hit my ears. Fast forward a few years [...]

The 1946 film Humoresque , starring Joan Crawford, John Garfield, and Oscar Levant is a real gem, and a real oddball movie. It's a New York movie at heart. Garfield is a rough and tumble guy who grew up above his father's Brooklyn grocery store (I'm thinking in my haunt of Williamsburg- it has that A Tree Grows In Brooklyn feel). It turns out he's a child prodigy violinist. He's got a plain-jane musician girlfriend, until vampy Joan Crawford comes around, turned-on by Garfield's music and ethnic upbringing. The film has amazingly witty dialogue courtesy of Clifford [...]
Initially I thought I'd compile a bright playlist of songs about the sun to help combat the blahs that's sure to inflict many of us this fall and winter. But, as I started plucking tracks from my collection, I discovered that a majority of the songs avoid using the sun as a symbol of positivity, or of they do, it's to bemoan the lack of it. So much for trying to cheer you up!

Best K-Tel ever? I'm thinkin' yeah .... about five more great ones on here that I passed up cause they're more well known (Lyn Collins "Think," Curtis "Future Shock" etc etc).

The Mainstreeters - "Theme From 'Cleopatra Jones'" Mandrill - "Fence Walk" [...]

This album is one of those that never really gets pulled out too much. It is another one that is always on the 'maybe' pile. And it was nearly in my latest Ebay batch, but I took one more listen and found this track. Maybe it's because of events in the last week, I really needed some happy music, maybe the timing was just right, finally... Mandrill - Happy Beat
Before modern Jam Bands were (rightfully) stigmatized for catering to all of the orphaned Dead/Phish heads, there was Mandrill. Hailing from Brooklyn circa 1968, four multi-instrumentalist Panamanian brothers created their own hybrid of latin, jazz, soul, and straight up funk. These days they still play the occasional show, but mainly, the royalties they make for licensing their music to Kanye West and Missy Elliot keeps them happy. Check out this 1973 footage of the fellas playing "Fencewalk." [...]
