A music-filled afternoon down in the bowels of the UMass Campus Center. Back after a week off, we rolled some fine platters for y'all.
Randy Weston..."The Gathering"...Saga...(Gitanes)
One of the greatest ever American composers (and perhaps the most esteemed Clandestino guest ever!).
Archie Shepp..."Song for Mozambique"...A Sea Of Faces...(Black Saint)
Fantastic underrated Shepp album from 1975. And while we're at it, I "discovered" this cool version on Youtube. I'd love to get a vinyl copy of this if it exists.
Michel Roques..."Le Temps"...v/a-Spiritual Jazz 3...(Jazzman)
Don Cunningham..."Tabu"...v/a-Hip City...(Luv N' Haight)
Shaolin Afronauts..."Quest Under Capricorn"...Quest Under Capricorn...(Freestyle)
Check out this nice new full length player from one of Australia's best groups.
The Cactus Channel..."Emanuel Ciccolini"...Haptics...(Hope Street)
Another cool new platter from Australia.
The Anchors..."Last Time"...v/a-Next Stop Soweto vol 2...(Strut)
Brownout..."Flaximus"...45...(Kept)
I picked up the new Brownout 45 last time I saw the band. Stoked for spinning the vinyl!
Detroit Emeralds..."Baby Let Me Take You"...45...(Westbound)
A stone Detroit classic. Hear the OG here...and also check this.
The Right Now..."Good Man"...45...(self released)
Contemporary Chicago soul band, produced by Orgone's Sergio Rios.
Miriam Makeba..."Down on the Corner"...Keep Me In Mind...(Reprise Germany)
Funky cover of the CCR classic!
Wendell Stuart & the Downbeaters..."My World Is Empty Without You"...v/a-West Indies Funk...(Trans Air)
Traffic..."Dealer"...Mr Fantasy...(Island)
A timeless jam from one of my fave classic UK groups.
Traffic Sound..."What You Need & What You Want"...Traffic Sound...(Munster reissue)
Probably my favorite of the 70s Peruvian rock bands. Here's the original MaG cover:
The Gentlemen..."Sorriso Selvagem"...The Gentlemen...(Mr Bongo reissue)
Early 70s rare Brazilian psych.
Boris Gardiner..."Negril"...Every Nigger is a Star soundtrack...(Jazzman)
Boris played bass in The Upsetters and released several soul/funk/reggae gems, including this (unreleased?) film soundtrack. Several tunes have surfaced through the years but this may be the first time the set came out in its entirety.
De Frank & his Professionals..."Waiting For My Baby"...Psychedelic Man...(Ride Away)
Funky Ghanaian soul from the 70s. Where's the reissue?
The Qualitons..."Fulcimpa"...45 (forthcoming)...(Tramp)
Another excellent funky 45, forthcoming from the Tramp label out of Germany.
Vijaya Anand..."Aatavu Chanda"...12"...(Luaka Bop)
Omar Souleyman..."Shift al Mani"...Dabke 2020...(Sublime Frequencies)
Jimmy Cliff..."The Guns of Brixton"...Rebirth...(Sunpower)
Jimmy's excellent new album contains this cool Clash cover.
Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra..."Gibbon's Dub"...Last Odyssey...(Ubiquity)
Horace Andy..."Don't Let Problems Get You Down"...Skylarking...(Melankolic)
Il Carbonaro..."Amigo de la Muerte"...45...(Colemine)
Cool new dubby 45 with Budos connections.
The Soothsayers..."The Streets of London" (Dubby Vocals mix)...promo...(Red Earth Music)
Hollie Cook/Prince Fatty..."For Me You Are Dub"...In Dub...(Mr Bongo)
Tensei..."Out of Bounds" (instrumental)...Two...(Plug Research)
The Alchemystics..."Type a Prayer" (Arclite rmx)...promo...(North Fire)
New England's finest reggae/soul/hiphop band, and one of the best live bands the area has seen. Here is a heavy remix of one of their popular numbers.
