A splendid-sounding reissue combining the two collaborative albums by Sinatra and Basie.
I was going to post another mix today, but when one of your favourite songwriters dies, priorities take over. And much as I love Jerry Leiber's repository of great lyrics – he was he Cole Porter of rock & roll – my tribute is for Nickolas Ashford, who with his wife Valerie Simpson wrote, produced and recorded over their career of five decades some of the finest soul music. They deserve a lifetime achievement award alone for that string of wonderful songs they wrote and produced for Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell: Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing, [...]
Quincy Jones III (not the super famous Quincy Jones) known for his Beef DVD series and Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel documentaries is working on a six-part miniseries for TV focusing on different facets of Tupac's life and personality. For example, one part will focus on his relationship with Biggie and another will focus on Tupac's political views. Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, is also helping with the doc. It will be interesting to see how they do this because there are so many Tupac documentaries and movies already. However, this a mini-series, not [...]
I will forever be indebted to Amy Winehouse and her brilliant voice. My wife and I tend to have musical views that clash more often than not. Aside from our love for Rock en Español, Amy Winehouse is the first artist that we could both agree. We both felt her vocals were unmatched and she had one of the most talented artists we had ever seen. The two of us were fortunate to have caught her at the Fader Day Party during SXSW 2007 . It was a rare appearance because she didn't do [...]
A time capsule of transition, artistry and genius.
On a short leash again today (what's new right?) but here's a quickie; two covers of original junkyard funk masterpiece the Sanford And Son Theme (AKA The Streetbeater ) by Quincy Jones . So getting even funkier with the drums and organ is a 70s soul jazz version by Bobby Forrester and a short ( very short) but sweet human beatbox cut from One Life Crew . Bobby Forrester - Sanford And [...]

Around third or fourth grade, my mission was to listen to every cassette tape my father owned. His music collection had always been a treasure trove of sorts and having already learned not to mess with his vinyl, the tape collection was the safest choice. They were easy to slip in and out of their cases without detection and he had enough of them out of their cases strewn around the house, enough so that if he went to look for one and I wasn't the first person he came to the cassette wasn't there. I grabbed [...]
Hello all and thanks for joining in for another edition of Lazy Sundays . Prepare to expand your mind to the sound of this week's featured artist; Nightmares on Wax. George Evelyn , the brainchild for Nightmares on Wax, is a DJ from Leeds, UK. Heavily inspired by soul music as well as the emergence of the hip hop scene in the late 19802s (with groups such as the Sugarhill Gang), Evelyn's early influences made him want to make " something [...]

The good and bad thing is it leaves the listener wanting more.
Fourteen classics and not a dud in the bunch, plus you get Ol' Blue Eyes' give and take with the audience—the wisecracks, the jokes. The man knew how to work a crowd.
This latest Quincy Jones Opus, Q: Soul Bossa Nostra, has missed a few notes and pales miserably when compared to previous projects of the iconic composer and arranger.
Au début des années 60, le jazzman borgne James Booker est au sommet de son art, organiste hors-pair, il donne la réplique à Fats Domino , Lloyd Price ou encore Arthur Rubinstein à New Orleans. Le titre " Gonzo " le propulse en tête des charts américains, succès éphémère car les singles suivants ne rencontrent pas leur public et Booker sombre progressivement dans l'anonymat et les drogues dures. Le single " Big Nick " est symptomatique de cette époque noire, édité en 1961 chez Peacock Records, il passe quasiment inaperçu. [...]
