smooth jazz track of the day

Allen Stone

I know what you're thinking "that's some glasses". "Smiley's People" Chic and all that.........


The "Deirdre Rachid revival" look not with standing, this young gentleman is causing a bit of a buzz, because shock horror, he can sing. Quite well in fact.


The CD isn't three bad at all.

Mike Ashley Tip of the Week

Stormin' track brought to my notice by the man with the "soul ears", DJ, Promoter, Blogger and Soul Music representing Mike Ashley

Bandcamp of the day (so far)

Free for now and featuring Tennille who is an interesting vocalist and her latest mix tape isn't too bad either.

Chris Crates of the Day

Stolen from Chris Crates Blog here is an unreleased gem from Christopher Williams from last year. I did an extensive search to find the mp3 only to find that I already had it !


As you may notice updates have been a little sparse of late mostly because I have more important things to do. Also there is so much quality music out there in blogs and mixes I feel my own contributions are somewhat unimportant.


Much respect to Chris Crates and backpackboogie

Before I leave the update just a couple of mentions:
Please check out the Soul Kandi Radio Soul, DJ Geoff Allman is a nice chap with well rounded taste and waistline. He's always been a supporter of this and the altmodernsoul blog. His show goes out Wednesdays 6-8 pm (UT) on http://www.soulpower-radio.com/ 
Podcasts of his show are here http://soulkandi.podomatic.com/  As an aside this will probably the only Radio show I'd be willing to guest on before my own (working title- Soul Envy) begins to be broadcast and change the face of soul broadcasting in the UK. You have been warned.
Mark Merry continues to surprise and delight with his Soul Sermon Podcasts. A proper weekly feast of music and highly recommended.

A quick mention to esteemed collector Jed Lunt. His recent mix of tracks shows a deep understanding of music and mood.

And lastly for sometime reader Mickey Finn show me some love bro......

Tall Black Guy

smooth jazz track of the day

Almost impossible to believe that this is 2011 ?


On first listen this sounds like some old Soul Music stuff, sort of an LTD B Side or something from Funk in a Mason Jar (?)


Which isn't to say it's bad, it's actually quite reasonable.....


In fact I might play it on my Radio Show "Newies that sound like Oldies"

Bandcamp pricing policy

As you all ought to know I rather like Bandcamp. Mostly because if you get in early the first few are free, and if you are late then you have to pay. Some artists though have a strange pricing structure, take this excellent track by beatmaker Vanilla from earlier in the year. It's worth a quid- sounding like a Lamont Dozier celebration, as played through a broken ipod.




In fact the whole CD is worth picking up on and the link to Mediafire still works !

Goapele Break of Dawn

Her new CD has (as they say) "dropped". It's been five long years since her last one, though tracks off this CD have been floating around for a couple of years now. I really liked "Change it All" but not that much at first, it took some time to sink in. I feel much the same with this and I'm keeping my ears open for bonus cuts.

J RAWLS-TRIBUTE TO DE LA

THANKS TO BLIND I and OKP


J. Rawls has released a new album Liquid Crystal Project 3 . The Ohio native just dropped his single,  “Tribute to DeLa,” which pays homage to De La Soul with  a live reworked version of the classic “Stakes Is High.” Jazz legend Pharez Whitted added flavor to the track by playing trumped. He’s worked with  artists like Synton & Brandford Marsalis, George Duke, and Ramsey Lewis. Keep an eye out for the new project.....
