Although Cannonball Adderley experimented with various styles and formats during his career, Cannonball's Bossa Nova [aka Cannonball Adderley and the Bossa Rio Sextet] continues to be an unusual work in his discography. This was not only true because of the Brazilian style to which the LP is devoted, but also because he isn't featured here in the company of his usual collaborators, nor of any other jazz musician. In fact, with the exception of the saxophonist, all the other players here are Brazilian. Sérgio Mendes' combo travelled to New York for the sessions. Drummer Dom Um Romao would eventually stay in the United States, where he became a member of Weather Report.

AK Salim did some sleepier work for Savoy in the 50s – but by the time of this 1965 recording, he was emerging as a progressive composer with a strong talent for bringing together disparate moods and styles. This rare recording was one of his best works ever, and it's one of the most unusual sides cut by Prestige in the 60s. It features Johnny Coles, Pat Patrick, and Yusef Lateef out front on horns – plus backing by a host of Latin and African percussionists.

A jazz album as much as it is a hip-hop album, Madvillain, Vol. 1 is explores the reciprocal territory between the genres. Taking the template of their debut LP \"Dilla\", they apply the same approach here, sampling the likes of Sun Ra, Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard, George Duke, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Quincy Jones and Stevie Wonder, resulting in a jazz oriented feel and ethos which in turn lends perfectly to the deconstruction and re-imagining of Abstract Orchestra. As with their debut, all the tracks were recorded live in the studio with very few overdubs.

For over five decades, the legendary keyboardist and bandleader has been a driving force in shaping the genre's sound. Smith made his recording debut as a sideman for heavyweights Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders, Gato Barbieri and Leon Thomas. He later formed his own ensemble, Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes which delivered an incredible run of classic albums through the 1970s. His music has served as the foundation for immortal hip-hop samples and ecstatic dancefloor revelry. In late February 2020, Smith headlined Jazz Is Dead's Black History Month series, giving many jazz fans what would be their last taste of live music before the nightmare of COVID-19 that took over in the weeks that followed. Now, he reunites with Jazz Is Dead to deliver Lonnie Liston Smith in a full-bloom tribute to the multitude of sonic strains that all lead back to the fingertips of the maestro himself.

Something About April III (SAA III), Adrian Younge pushes the musical franchise forward with fearless conviction, surpassing it's predecessors as an essential piece in today's vinyl culture. \r\n\"Something About April III is the album I wanted to make when I created the first album in 2011. However, I didn't have the musical knowhow and experience to create the sound that was buried deep in my soul. Essentially, SAA III is the album that has taken me fifteen years to uncover and fully realize. From a cratediggers' perspective, it's the album I've been diggin' for in the deepest crates of my soul. A lost album I finally found. I hope this LP resonates with you as much as it has for me.\" \r\n\r\nThroughout the years, Younge has earned the title of America's black genius: a master at reviving the lost art of analog recording in a digital world. The Emmy-award winning composer, multi-instrumentalist and orchestrator has received comparisons to the finest works of Ennio Morricone as well as The Beatles relentless pursuit for sonic innovation. The Something About April collection has stood the test of time for contemporary vinyl enthusiasts and producers, being sampled by DJ Premier, Jay-Z, Common, 50 Cent and more. With so much experimentation, SAA III is Younge's boldest journey into the unknown, drawing from the heritage of this heavily sampled collection to shape the future of his legacy.\r\n\r\nEmboldened by the success of SAA I and II, Younge closes the trilogy with grander compositions for his uniquely inspired vinyl collecting audience. As the proceeding albums synthesize the boundaries between American and European cinematic soul, part 3 does the same, but with a bold twist: Brazilian Psychedelica!\r\n\r\nInspired by the great Brazilian records of the '60s and '70s, Younge records an all-Brazilian choir of vocalists, hand-picked by the Grammy-award winning Brazilian composer, Céu.

Something About April III (SAA III), Adrian Younge pushes the musical franchise forward with fearless conviction, surpassing it's predecessors as an essential piece in today's vinyl culture. \r\n\"Something About April III is the album I wanted to make when I created the first album in 2011. However, I didn't have the musical knowhow and experience to create the sound that was buried deep in my soul. Essentially, SAA III is the album that has taken me fifteen years to uncover and fully realize. From a cratediggers' perspective, it's the album I've been diggin' for in the deepest crates of my soul. A lost album I finally found. I hope this LP resonates with you as much as it has for me.\" \r\n\r\nThroughout the years, Younge has earned the title of America's black genius: a master at reviving the lost art of analog recording in a digital world. The Emmy-award winning composer, multi-instrumentalist and orchestrator has received comparisons to the finest works of Ennio Morricone as well as The Beatles relentless pursuit for sonic innovation. The Something About April collection has stood the test of time for contemporary vinyl enthusiasts and producers, being sampled by DJ Premier, Jay-Z, Common, 50 Cent and more. With so much experimentation, SAA III is Younge's boldest journey into the unknown, drawing from the heritage of this heavily sampled collection to shape the future of his legacy.\r\n\r\nEmboldened by the success of SAA I and II, Younge closes the trilogy with grander compositions for his uniquely inspired vinyl collecting audience. As the proceeding albums synthesize the boundaries between American and European cinematic soul, part 3 does the same, but with a bold twist: Brazilian Psychedelica!\r\n\r\nInspired by the great Brazilian records of the '60s and '70s, Younge records an all-Brazilian choir of vocalists, hand-picked by the Grammy-award winning Brazilian composer, Céu. Songs like \"Nunca Estranhos\" and \"O Som Do Amor\" highlight the talented vocalists over fuzzed out drum breaks and complexed orchestral arrangements akin to Arthur Verocai's eponymously album in '72. \"Nossas Sombras\" takes listeners back to a time when groups like Os Mutantes and Antonio Adolfo \u0026amp; A Brazuca pioneered mind-blowing sounds for Brazilian counterculture.

The duo, highly inspired by Hyldon's seminal work in the '60s and '70s, revisits' the spirit of this epoch while creating a modern-day classic. Hyldon's unique voice and lyrical depth, combined with Younge's innovative analog production, ensures this album will not be forgotten.

In '75, his remarkable debut album, Na Rua, Na Chuva, Na Fazenda changed the sound of Brazil forever.

Their goal was ambitious: to craft an album that would stand alongside Hyldon's finest achievements, one that would captivate fans who love his unique blend of psychedelic and soulful \"Música Brasileira.\" The result is nothing short of remarkable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Producing a Hyldon album was a dream come true.

Apart from the remarkable drumming, multi-instrumentalist Younge accomplishes the unthinkable by playing every other instrument on JID023.

CHARLY RECORDS present the first ever reissue of the sought-after, cult, New York, gospel street opera, Free The Black Man's Chains. The most intriguing, and certainly the most ambitious project on the city's GSF label (see more stunning titles on GSF exclusively from Charly). The project had it's roots in a trio of singles released by the mysterious Broad Street Gang in 1971. The first, on the Cougar label called \"Fair Skin Man\" and it's two follow-ups \"L-o-v-e Love\" and the title track from the album \"Free The Black Man's Chains\". Celebrated musicians on the sessions were Mitchell Rowe, Bobby Eli, Len Pakula, Daryl Hall, Ron Baker, Norman Harris, The Raelettes and strings arranged by Richie Rome. A project like Free The Black Man's Chains should have been perfect for the multi-media nature of GSF. The album could have led to a film in the way that it had for Jesus Christ Superstar, but instead like so many of the label's releases, the album failed to make it's mark due to a lack of promotion. GSF would barely reach it's second birthday before it - and it's parent company - shut down.

With their improvisations between rock, jazz and new music, Agitation Free - soon relegated to the not so flattering category of \"Krautrock\" - made musical forays into areas that few of their fellow German musicians had ever penetrated. At a time when most in Germany were still orienting themselves as closely as possible to Anglo-American musical formats, Agitation Free found a completely new and very original form of musical expression. Starting with their debut album \"Malesch\" and the album \"2nd\", Agitation Free delivered a fascinating sound, influenced not least by the manifold impressions from a Near East tour. The band moved toward a form of meta-music, a weaving of exotic-sounding compositions. The album has been justly regarded as a milestone in the genre, especially abroad. Looking back, it's evident that the Agitation Free was one of the most important bands of the experimental circle known as the \"Berlin School\", and a career springboard for a whole slew of musicians. At the same time, this policy of changing personnel also meant risking that the band couldn't keep itself together over the long run. Agitation Free consciously took this risk in order to remain as close as possible to their own concept - free from commercial pressure or concessions to the latest trends and modes. Collectors item!

His soundtrack works that were composed for various Algerian movies of the time fuse Arabic influences with jazz, psych and funk influences. Dark cinematic soundscapes meet African Jazz at times reminiscent of Mulatu. Original copies of his vinyl releases have been sold for enormous amounts. For this release we combined the strongest tracks from his releases with a selection of unreleased material straight from the families archive. Introduction: I still remember the first time I heard Ahmed Malek. It was 2012. Back then I didn't know much about Arabic music, but I was about to leave Berlin for a couple of weeks to go to Tunisia. I was working as a project manager for a music recoding session which ended up being released by Jakarta Records as the \"Sawtuha\" release. I knew I would have some time off during my stay and I was certain that I would dedicate some of this time to diggin. I asked some people whether they knew of any titles that I should look for. Roskow, who also ended up re-mastering this release, told me about an Algerian composer called Ahmed Malek whose music was also released in Tunisia. Fast forward three years: Arabic records have become my number one hobby and luckily I got my hands on a copy of Ahmed Malek's \"Musique Originale de Films\" album. I already knew some of the tracks but listening to the music the way it was originally released, and not as a crappy Youtube version, made me fall in love with Malek's compositions all the more. It manages to create this very special mood: melancholic and reflective, emotional and touching, but never depressing. Even without having seen any of the pictures created for this, it immediately brings visuals to one's imagination. Around that time I became captivated with the idea of reissuing some of Ahmed Malek's music. I knew some people had tried to locate his family but, but with no success. In the end it was an incredible amount of luck that made it possible for you to read these words and listen to this record. I had a DJ gig in Beirut playing old Arabic records and I mentioned my passion for Ahmed Malek's music to a friend. She said she knew one person in Algier, and as much as it would be a shot in the dark, she could ask her if she had an idea of how to find Malek's family. Two weeks went by before I heard back, and what I got was incredibly good news. Her Algerian friend was the neighbor of Ahmed Malek's daughter! I'm not a spiritual person, but it felt like the universe wanted to see this release happen.

Soul Jazz Records are re-releasing Airto Moreiras classic album Samba de Flora, out of print for 30 years ever since it's original release in 1988. The album is very limited to just 1000 copies only, pressed on both vinyl and CD. The impact of Airto Moreira in both the world of American jazz and in Brazilian music is unparalleled. At the start of the 1970s Airto was invited to join Miles Davis groundbreaking electric group, which with albums such as the seminal Bitches Brew helping Davis regain his title from John Coltrane as the most important jazz artist of all time. Two years later Airto helped establish two of the most important jazz fusion groups of all time: Weather Report, with Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul and Miroslav Vituous; and Return to Forever, with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Flora Purim. Airto Moreira also began his solo career in the USA in 1970, and alongside his wife, the singer Flora Purim, and Brazilian artists such as Hermeto Pascoal, Sivuca, Deodato, Raul de Souza, Azymuth, all played a major part in the Latinised sound of American jazz fusion throughout the 1970s. By this time Airto established himself in the USA in the 1970s, he had already had a formidable career back in Brazil in the 1960s as an important figure in the Bossa Nova movement, which soon after spread throughout the world. Airto played in a number of important groups during this time Quarteto Novo Sambalanco Trio and Sambrassa Trio (all of with Hermeto Pascoal) which proved to be three of the most ground-breaking groups of this era. The album Samba de Flora, including the seminal jazz dance title track, is a masterpiece of jazz and Brazilian fusion and features Airto Moreira alongside Flora Purim, fellow Brazilian artist Raul de Souza and heavyweight USA jazz musicians Alphonso Johnson, percussionist Don Alias (from Stone Alliance), Cuban conga player Cachete and Argentinian pianist Jorge Dalto. The album was originally released on the small independent Montuno Record label (which was run out of the unassuming Record Mart record store situated in the Times Square underground subway station!) and has been unavailable for many, many years.

Airto's second album, and second and last release for the Buddah label, brought back largely the same crew that appeared on his debut record Natural Feelings: vocalist (and wife) Flora Purim, composer and multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal, and bassist Ron Carter, with contributions from Dom Um Ram√£o (who later replaced Airto in Weather Report) and Severino de Oliveira AKA Sivuca. Given Airto's connections to Miles Davis, Weather Report, and Return to Forever, Seeds on the Ground could easily get lumped into the jazz fusion category. But that would be a mistake. This totally unclassifiable (and, by the way, exceedingly rare) album was no mere blend of rock and jazz influences. Instead, Seeds on the Ground was truly a fusion, an ecstatic melding of bossa nova, psychedelic rock, Brazilian folk, Latin jazz, free jazz, and what we call nowadays 'world music.' If that sounds a bit calculated or intimidating, it's not; what makes this album so compelling is how organic and intimate it all sounds.

His breakout arrangements for Reflections, actor Akira Terao's nighttime city-pop smash, helped make it the best-selling album of the decade. This success led to his debut fusion synth-pop album, Prophetic Dream, packed with surprising interludes, mysterious grooves, and state-of-the-art production. In the next few years, Inoue was arranging hits for idols like Seiko Matsuda, helping established artists like Hi-Fi Set find a fresh, forward-looking sound, and recording arty solo albums in London with musicians who played for Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel. His music was elegant with a dark edge, and companies like Yokohama Tire and Shiseido turned to Inoue when they wanted to evoke sophisticated cool in a TV or radio ad. It was during this prolific time that Inoue released one of his most curious and uncommercial works, Karsavina, now being reissued on LP.Out of print since it was first released in 1984 as part of the SEED Cassette Book Series, Karsavina finds theclassically trained art-rocker experimenting between major-label releases. On his vocal albums, Inoue masterfullyused modulation, dense chromaticism, and unexpected rhythm changes to push the boundaries of a pop song. OnKarsavina, Inoue preserves some of the pitch-dark energy of Cryptogram and pristine, nostalgic magic of Splash butno longer feigns interest in the charts. With legendary ballet dancers Nijinsky and Karsavina as it's central theme,Karsavina instead captures the spirit of the early-20th-century avant-garde using the hi-tech tools of a modern Tokyostudio. Smudgy classical piano and cello dance playfully to tricky prog rhythms, warped textures, and poundingelectronic beats. Wide-open synth chords melt rather than progress, and fretless bass is given free rein. Take\"Ondine,\" a fifteen-minute instrumental reimagining of Splash's closing track. Featuring some of Inoue's most loyalstudio cats, this version foregrounds traditional Japanese percussion (Hideo Yamaki) and gummy bass improvisations(Kenji Takamizu), as Inoue and guitar wizard Tsuyoshi Kon weave arpeggios in the distance.A few of Inoue's experiments in ambient dance foreshadow subsequent albums. The menacing \"Entrechat Dix,\"named for Nijinsky's reputed vertical leap with ten leg crossings, marked Inoue's first collaboration with MasakoKawamura, whose frenetic koto plucking would play a lead role on Tokyo Installation and System Overload.\"INNOVATIONS\" contains a meditative piano and fusion bass coda that Inoue would flesh out (\"Forest of Thought\") onImaginary Arboretum the following year. Some of these songs would also resurface in more digestible forms on Inoue's soundtracks to body horror film Gakidama and anime Lensman.Thirty-six years on, as crate diggers around the world have rediscovered the deeply inventive, genre-bending music of contemporaries like Yasuaki Shimizu and Haruomi Hosono (also featured in the SEED series), Akira Inoue'spioneering work is only beginning to be reevaluated outside Japan. Karsavina may not be an obvious entry point intohis extensive catalog, but it's a powerful example of his eccentric \"high-tech, handmade\" musical vision-and further evidence that he's responsible for some of the coolest music of all time Format: VINYL LP Label: P-Vine Genre: International Country: US Tracks: 1.1 Prologue 1.2 Entrechat Dix 1.3 A Qui Est-Ce Passeport? 1.4 Innovations 1.5 Cueillette Des Fraises de Vaslav 1.6 Commencement Du Second Acte 1.7 Piano Sur Du Lac 1.8 Ondine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"01- Light In The Attic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56731507655029,"sku":"4995879067734","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8300\/2485\/files\/3860801-2605285_b2a44c5f-6386-49b2-8969-8ab9269794aa.jpg?v=1770883357"}],"url":"https:\/\/warmvibevinyls.com\/collections\/jazz.oembed?page=107","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
