By David Katz   from http://www.bbc.co.uk The Australians’ hybrid soul and funk sound continues to impress. During the last decade, Melbourne-based musical conglomerate The Bamboos have been making an impact with a hybrid sound tastefully referencing the great soul and funk of the 1960s and 70s, without ever falling into the retro trap. That their material has been handled by Tru Thoughts, the Brighton-based independent that has brought forth musical delights by Quantic and Bonobo, already gives it a certain legitimacy – but the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and Medicine Man, the group’s fifth album, goes down like a mango and lemon syllabub. It’s tastefully done, and possesses many hidden textures and contours; the more you get of it, the more you like it. Perhaps the best thing The Bamboos have going for them is their superb musicianship. Bandleader Lance Ferguson is obviously a brilliant guitarist but he is never overly flashy with his lead licks; his solos help convey emotion in suitably brief bright blasts of treble, instead of overburdening a tune with unnecessary pyrotechnics. Bass duties are shared between Ferguson and his creative foil, producer John Castle, who also plays piano and a spot of drums, and the bass lines on this album are suitably cavernous, helping to ground the material between melodic hooks and danceable grooves. Where Does The Time Go?, sung by Aloe Blacc, is the kind of song that anyone of a certain age can relate to; as Ferguson, Castle and team propel the music forward, Blacc laments the passing of his youth. Co-conspirator Kylie Auldist features on a quarter of the disc, and even if her style is rooted in early 1970s funk, the band pull in enough original elements to make sure the work is always their own. For instance, Window counterbalances Auldist’s blues-funk growl with light strings and a gently bouncing beat. Similarly, Hello Stranger has a great sitar accompaniment that hearkens to 1960s psychedelia, but never in a way that is constrained by the reference. Other guests include Tim Rogers of You Am I, soul crooners Bobby Flynn and Daniel Merriweather, and Megan Washington, whose appealing vocals grace a horns-heavy version of The Wilhelm Scream. The music here would sound dynamite live, so look out for appearances. And even if you can’t make it to a show, this album is definitely worth investigating. Get your hands on a copy and dig in. Tracklist : 01. Where Does The Time Go? (Feat. Aloe Blacc) 03:38 02. What I Know (Feat. Kylie Auldist) 04:07 03. The Wilhelm Scream (Feat. Megan Washington) 04:28 04. Cut Me Down (Feat.

Husky Rescue - Deep Forest Green

Origine du Groupe : Finland

Sortie : 2012

From http://www.thepopsucker.com



the first time i ever heard husky rescue was several years ago when i was working retail. one of their tracks, "summertime cowboy," and its accompanying video were on the store's soundtrack. i
was certainly intrigued by their sound and the video (see below) but then when you hear the same two hour soundtrack on a loop during an eight hour shift you tend to pay attention to songs you
might normally skip over while streaming online. (also full disclosure here: i was dating a guy at the time who believed he was a cowboy in a past life and insisted upon addressing everyone as
"pardner" and felt the need to wear spurs with any and every kind of footwear, except for boots ironically. so the song took on a double meaning for me.) but husky rescue stuck with me and i
became enamored with the finnish electronica group.



for the record this is a new reincarnation of husky rescue. co-founding member and lead vocalist reeta-leena vestman took time off after the band completed the tour for their last album 2010's
ship of light. so other co-founding member marko nyberg decided to shake things up a bit and change the lineup. he tapped swedish vocalist johanna kalén and friend antony bentley and husky
rescue, now a trio, has released their first EP, deep forest green. check out a couple tracks from the EP and the video for "summertime cowboy" below and leave your comments on their new
sound.





Tracklist :

01 – Min Lilla Eld

02 – Deep Forest Green

03 – Wind in the Willows

04 – Sunrider

05 – Skin of Snow

06 – Deep Forest Green – Clouds Interpretation

Marcus Miller - Renaissance

http://www.marcusmiller.com

Origine du Groupe : North America

Style : Jazz Fusion

Sortie : 2012

By John Fordham   
From http://www.guardian.co.uk



This is bass-guitar star Marcus Miller's UK-tour repertoire of last month, plus a few bonuses, including the finely spun vocals of young New Yorker Gretchen Parlato and the rasping ones of Dr
John on two tracks. For jazz-funk fans, it's paradise – Miller's arrangements have the clamouring horn parts, snappy basslines, raw guitar fills and whipcrack backbeats of this style meshing like
a racing engine, and, of course, there are plenty of jawdropping bass solos. Creative obliqueness (of the kind Miller brought to Miles Davis's Tutu and Amandla albums in the 1980s) isn't always
apparent. The assertive foregrounding of the bass guitar doesn't exactly enhance the potentially mysterious Brazilian feature Setembro, with its vocals by Parlato and Ruben Blades, and
horn-punching groovers such as Cee Tee Eye veer to the formulaic. But the exhilaratingly funky Detroit, the lyrical (and Tutu/Amandla-related) Redemption, or the Headhunters-like Slippin' into
Darkness confirm Miller's mastery of his particular world. Solos from Lincoln Centre trumpeter Sean Jones and excellent regular saxophonist Alex Han spark fireworks, sly quotes from Dizzy
Gillespie and Bob Marley classics add spice, and there's a poetic solo-bass finale on I'll Be There.









Pour http://www.disquesdreyfus.com



Avec ce nouvel album studio, son premier depuis 5 ans, Marcus MILLER innove à nouveau. « Je sens qu’une page se tourne », dit Marcus Miller ; « Nos derniers héros disparaissent et nous entrons
dans une ère nouvelle, à la fois politique et culturelle. Mais la Musique n’est pas aussi révolutionnaire que les médias. Il est temps pour une Renaissance. »



Avec un casting incroyable de jeunes musiciens, et des invités comme Dr. John, Gretchen Parlato et Ruben Blades, Marcus Miller crée un nouveau chef d’œuvre moderne pour une nouvelle ère.



Huit nouvelles compositions originales ainsi que cinq standards : « Slippin’ Into Darkness » par War, « Tightrop » par Janelle Monae, « Setembro » par Ivan Lins, et un hommage virtuose à Michael
Jackson pour n’en nommer que quelques uns.
