Blue Rhythm Combo BRC's Groove
Artist:Blue Rhythm Combo
Country of Origin:UK
Label:Jazzman
The Blue Rhythm Combo from Barbados produced some of the heaviest funk records to come out of the Caribbean in the early ‘70s – crossing the local Spouge rhythm with a heavy dose of American styled funk and soul. This 7" triple pack brings together six of their heaviest tracks from the early to mid-‘70s, culled from their releases on the famed Merrydisc label and a later single on WIRL that showcases their later and more soulful sound. Complete with liner notes telling the story of the band and some unseen pics, this is as close to Caribbean funk as you’ll get without catching the plane and going there yourself. Highly recommended!

In ‘60s Europe a distinctive, European jazz sound began to develop that combined traditional music from across Europe and around the world with the creative freedom so abundant in American jazz. Over time the most forward-thinking creative talents of the post-Coltrane European jazz generation crafted and nurtured sophisticated and multi-faceted styles of jazz that were as radical as they were beautiful, giving modern jazz a characteristically European flavour. This double LP is a heady mix of stirring jazz overtures with orchestra and choir, modal montages inspired by pilgrimages to Asia and Africa, experiments in rhythm and sound where modern jazz meets traditional Balkan and Flamenco folk music. This is Spiritual Jazz – European style.

Later on he recorded a couple of 45’s for the Parkway and Verve labels. After a final 45 for the local Philly label Black Jack, the group disbanded and Carl formed the Sherlock Holmes Investigation a solid outfit backed by a strong rhythm section packed with congas, vibes, flute, organ and sax. Philly’s Sigma Sound Studio was the place they recorded their sole album and Curtis R. Staten’s CRS Records was the label that released it.

Prince Fatty Meets The Mutant Hifi in 'Return of Gringo!' is the fevered and frontal lobe-damaged brainchild of Nick Coplowe (The Mutant Hifi) and Mike Pelanconi (Prince Fatty), the result of years of plotting, planning, laughing and procrastinating. Put simply, it is a surf/ska/spaghetti western soundtrack album for a film that is yet to be made. Think Dick Dale jamming with the Skatalites with Morricone at the helm, including appearances from Alessandro Alessandroni (the original spaghetti western whistler) and you're in the right section at the record store, although it is possibly a very small section.

On the flip Neko Neko’s MPC gets possessed by the spirit of circa ’93 boom bap as he remixes an anti-playa anthem. Honky-tonk pianos, horns and boom bap drums all make for a worthy update of this stone cold classic! Hand-stamped, limited edition white label 12”.

It was discovered as an LP only track by the Northern Soul scene in the early 70's and instantly bootlegged. Ironically it turns out that it was planned as a 45 in the 60's as a trawl through Robert's archives by Inferno has come up with the pre-release acetate! The Webs track has been steadily building up a rep as a top dancer at "Not The Northern Soul Top 500" venues over the last 5 years. It is written and produced by Bateman - Courtney and demonstrates how on top of the game they were when it came to making great Soulful dance records!

First up is 'Ass Nation' a slo-mo disco monster with dirty drums, nasty synths, super sweet female vox and an infectious guitar hook that begs for dancefloor control!! The flip 'Upskirt' drops a filthy guitar and bassline hook, funky drums, dirty moog laserbeams and the kind of groove that takes you to places you know you shouldn't go, reminiscent of a reckless late night drive thru' sleazy backstreets where insanity lurks just behind the curtains.

Having played with Antibalas, Seun Kuti and Kokolo, Fanga has nurtured solid relationships within the international afrobeat community. In the studio, the group's path crosses that of Tony Allen and the sadly demised Segun Demisa, both pillars of Fela Kuti's Africa 70, as well as that of the iconoclastic rapper Mike Ladd, the Jamaican Winston McAnuff infuses a reggae accent on 'I Go On Without You', whereas the Togo All Stars Orchestra shines out like a thousand fires on 'Dounya', one of the strongest and most jubilant of the album.

Music is from The Funk Brothers, the song by the legendary Richard "Popcorn" Wylie and the exquisite femme backing vocals come from The Charmaines. As Matt says "Wind It Up Baby"....simply one of the most infectious dance records to be made in the magical place that was Detroit back then.

LaVern Baker was one of the ruling queens of Rhythm & Blues through the ’50s, a singer who had a knockout voice, oodles of charm and plenty of feminine sass to spare. ‘Love Me Right’ is just about the perfect record for the dance floor. Slightly uptempo for most popcorn nights, this is a driving, swinging R&B number with incredible riffs and an irresistible vocal turn. ‘Tiny Tim’ on the flip needs little pitch adjustment, this one is slow and decidedly slinky as LaVern is joined by the barritone-voiced Jimmy Ricks for a brazenly suggestive duet where the pair discuss who’s wearing the trousers, so to speak. Highly recommended!

Irish beat maker Krystal Klear and Washington DC soul star Olivier Day Soul team up for the winter love song 'Never Thought You Would'. Tipping it's cap firmly to the early 90's RnB era, both artist deliver possibly the best performances of their career. It's been too long since grown folks had something romantic to swoon over, this is a winter tale of heart break and lost love that you can still step to. Think Mtume, Bobby Brown, Loose Ends, Janet Jackson with 2012 twist. B Side 'Waist My Time' is a straight up New Jack club banger, If you where born in the 80's then you'll know what to do! Grab a girl and get on the floor!

"Featuring the loveliest Shirley Davis on vocal from Melbourne, Australia, I totally enjoyed recording our version of this great song originally performed by Richard 'Groove' Holmes. Her voice is so soulful and funky. I had been thinking about working with Shirley for some years since she opened the Marva Whitney show. Also the flip side is an instrumental entitled 'The Archipelago'. One of the best tracks I did with my band in a couple of years. The groove was so good that I hesitated to add anything else. Only, I asked Yuichi, one of the two guitarists to write the strings section. I hope these tracks explain what we do.
