The Chronic – Dr. Dre (samples Originais) 1992

Pois é havia falado sobre sampler no post do Grover Washington Jr., eis que após algumas consultas, na net e aos parceiros Dj Caverna e Dj Pantera, apresento esta compilação somente com os samplers Originais utilizados no album.

Um dos maiores e mais importantes trabalhos da história do Rap. É assim, sem maiores exageros que “The Chronic” costuma ser classificado. A estréia de André Young, mais conhecido como Dr. Dre, foi lançada originalmente em 1992, transformou por completo e deu as diretrizes desse estilo de música, que seriam seguidas futuramente.

Sem os companheiros Ice Cube e Eazy-E, do NWA, ele compôs e produziu um disco cheio de melodia, baixos marcantes e deu origem ao G-funk (como ele mesmo intitulou), que seria o Gangsta Rap do jeito que ele é feito até hoje. O álbum saiu pela gravadora Death Row Records, que Dr. Dre havia acabado de formar com Suge Knight, envolvido em diversos negócios ilegais.

As letras falam de violência, sexo, comunidade e sobre a vida na periferia, com rimas ora rápidas, ora mais arrastadas e tudo, claro, carregado de palavrões. Alguns exemplos são “Nuthin’ but a G Thang”, “A Nigga Witta Gun” e “Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat”, está última, aliás, uma das melhores de todo o trabalho. Outros destaques ficam com as faixas “Let Me Ride”, “Lyrical Gangbang”, “Stranded On Death Row” e “The Roach (The Chronic Outro)”.

Como se não bastasse toda a importância de “The Chronic” no Rap e no Hip Hop, o disco ainda apresentou ao mundo um novato, que dava seus primeiros passos na época. Trata-se de Snoop Dogg Doggy, que divide algumas linhas de voz com Dre e é, atualmente, um dos maiores nomes da cena.

Um agradecimento especial, aos Djs Caverna e Pantera, e também ao mano Claudir, da comuna Originais do Rap, sem os quais este projeto não seria levado em frente. Falando em Dj Caverna, garanto para o próximo post iniciar uma coleção com 12 Vols. com o melhor do Sampler, Soul & Grooves devidamente autorizado pelo mesmo a publica-la.

Let’s Dance – Vamos Dançar 2000

Este Play me traz boas lembranças, dos idos de 1992. Tinhamos uma pequena equipe de baile e os componentes eram meu irmão Odair, mais dois parceiros Amaury (Grilo) e Luiz (Grande) e eu, como a situação nem sempre foi boa, nós adquiriamos somente os vinis piratex que rolavam na Galeria 24 de Maio. Tendo pouca coisa realmente original. E vai que o Luiz nos apresenta um amigo dele (só não me recordo o nome do cara) do mesmo bairro que não conhecíamos ainda, chegamos na casa do cara, qual não foi a nossa surpresa, o cara tinha tudo o que tocávamos no baile mas só originais,  até mesmo as coletânes da época, o cara era apenas colecionador não tocava em bailes. Ele fez um empréstimo de algumas bolachas ao Luiz e este também estava no meio, já tinho gosto foi aí que me interessei mais ainda. Não me recordo mas a capa do LP do Mr. Soul não é um pouco parecida com esta? Ah, ano 2000 refere-se a reedição em CD pela Rythm and Blues.

Sharon Jones

SHARON JONES AND THE DAP-KINGS

Sharon Jones was born Sheron Lafaye Jones in Augusta, Georgia on May 4th 1956.  Her mother moved to Brooklyn soon thereafter, however Jones was sent down south for a few months every year to stay with her family.  As a child, she and her brothers would imitate the songs and dances of James Brown, who shared their hometown.  Like many rhythm and blues entertainers, she began performing in church at a very young age where her voice would find a lifelong home and inspiration.  As a teenager in the early nineteen seventies, she began singing outside of the church in talent shows and with local funk groups.  Later she would make her living with a combination of sporadic session work as a mostly anonymous voice on various dance records (sometimes credited as Lafaye Jones), singing with wedding bands, and a handful of day jobs which included stints as both a prison guard at New York’s notorious Riker’s Island, and an armored car guard for Wells Fargo Bank.  In 1996 she was called in to sing back-up at a Desco Records studio session for 70’s soul legend Lee Fields.

Desco was a small independent specializing in traditional funk and soul pressed exclusively to wax.  Co-owners and producers Phillip Lehman and Bosco ‘Bass’ Mann had called Jones in on a tip from a sax player who was seeing her at the time.  As the other two girls never showed up for the session, Jones cut all the background parts for the session herself, and proceeded to cut the impromptu prison rap over Switchblade, which had originally been intended for a man.  Ironically, that rant (slowed down to make it sound like a man) would be her first outing as a featured artist on a record.  Though she was at first skeptical of the 21 year-old jewish kid egging her on from the other side of the glass, a common love and respect for Soul music soon created a trust and friendship between Jones and Mann which would lead them both to a fruitful career.

Over the next four years, Jones sang frequently alongside Lee Fields, Joseph Henry, and Naomi Davis as part of the Desco Super Soul Revue backed by Desco house band the Soul Providers.  Desco would release a handful of singles in her name including The Bump & Touch, Damn It’s Hot, and You Better Think Twice as well as versions of funk classics I Got the Feelin’ and Hook & Sling.  In the UK, a blossoming Deep Funk scene lead by DJ’s Keb Darge and Snowboy among others showed support for these Desco releases and paved the way for Jones and the Soul Providers’ first international tour in 1999, where her command of the stage earned her an overnight title as the ‘Queen of Funk’.

Unfortunately, just as the Jones and the band began to gain momentum and a reputation for a show that couldn’t be missed, internal business conflicts caused the demise of Desco Records in the early part of 2000.  Though the Soul Providers would not perform again, it wasn’t long before Jones and Mann would regroup in another formation.

Guitarist Binky Griptite, would remain at Mann’s side as well as organist Earl Maxton, percussionist Fernando ‘Boogaloo’ Velez, trumpeter Anda ‘Goodfoot’ Szilagyi and Baritone saxophonist Jack Zapata (AKA Martín Perna, who would go on to form Brooklyn afrobeat collective Antibalas) all from the original Soul Providers.  From the Mighty Imperials, a young instrumental organ funk group that recorded at Desco, Tenor saxophonist  Leon Michels (who would later leave the group to form the El Michels Affair as well as his own label, Truth & Soul) and drummer Homer ‘Funkyfoot’ Steinweiss would fill out the line-up.  Both were only 17 years-old at the time.  Now for the first time, the group would be billed as Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings.

In 2001, the group landed a summer residency at a club in Barcelona.  Knowing that the trip would be a financial disaster without having a recording to sell, Mann penned a few new tunes and assembled the band to record. A rough eight track recording studio was rigged up in the basement beneath the Afro-Spot, a local kung-fu dojo which doubled as an afrobeat nightclub and headquarters for Antibalas’ frontman Duke Amayo.  After a few weeks of tracking and mixing, the band’s debut album was completed.  Dap Dippin’ with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings would be Jones’s first full length recording.  Though few hundred copies were pressed to sell on the road, it would take several months and the birth of a new record label before Dap-Dippin’ would be commercially released.

In late 2001, saxophonist Neal Sugarman, whose organ driven Sugarman Three combo had given Desco two of its most prominent releases,  and Gabriel Roth, Desco’s head recording engineer, joined together to form Daptone Records.  With the intention of continuing on where Desco had left off, Daptone’s debut release would be the Dap-Dippin’ album.

Over the next three years, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings would tour extensively and build steadily upon a growing reputation as the unrivaled frontrunners of old-school Soul and Funk music.  The band went through several changes in personnel before settling into what would be its permanent line-up.  Sugarman joined the band to replace Michels on tenor saxophone.  Michels would move to baritone where he would stay until 2005, when he eventually left to give Truth & Soul Records his full attention.  He would be replaced on baritone by Ian Hendrickson-Smith, a well known and respected jazz saxophonist in his own right.  The trumpet chair passed from Szilagyi to Todd Simon, and was eventually filled by David Guy.  Maxton left the band in 2003 to play with Antibalas, leaving the band with no organ, and guitarist Tommy ‘TNT’ Brenneck, of the Budos Band, would take up the slack in the rhythm section.

By the time they returned to the studio in 2004, the Dap-Kings roster read like a veritable who’s who of the day’s Soul and Funk scene, most of whom were bandleaders in their own right.  Countless gigs had molded the rhythm section into a redoubtable juggernaut on the bandstand, and the combination of Sugarman, Guy, and Hendrickson-Smith in the horn section was fierce.  Behind the ever-increasing power and stage presence of Jones, the band was becoming a force to be reckoned with.

In 2003, Daptone Records had relocated to a dilapidated two family house in Bushwick, Brooklyn.  Upstairs became the offices, and with some amount of work, the first floor had been converted to a recording studio.  By the time the Dap-Kings came to record their second record in March of 2004, the studio had been outfitted with a sixteen track tape machine.  (Originally, the plan was to record the second and third albums back to back.  Unfortunately, on the last day of tracking the second record, a car accident on the way home from the studio landed Mann in the hospital with serious eye injuries.  From then on he would have to wear protective sunglasses.  It was over a month and a half before work could be resumed on the album and it was decided to scrap the third album for the time being.)

In January of 2005, Naturally hit the streets and set Jones and the Dap-Kings loose on a relentless touring schedule. Fueled by rave reviews of both their new record and the blistering live show, record sales and concert attendance began rising across the country, and as the band began to tour more frequently overseas, international markets soon followed suit. By 2006, audiences in Europe, Canada, and Australia were packing venues to see Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings.

A high point came when Daptone Records presented a Soul Revue at New York’s Irving Plaza (Fillmore East) to honor Jones’ 50th birthday.  The sold out extravaganza featured The Mighty Imperials, The Budos Band, Charles Bradley, Binky Griptite, Naomi Davis & the Gospel Queens, the Bushwick Philharmonic, Antibalas, and was of course headlined by the Dap-Kings and Sharon Jones herself. 

In the winter of 2006, the band slowed its touring schedule to make time for a return to the studio.  The resulting 100 Days, 100 Nights, slated for a much anticipated release in September of this year, is arguably their greatest achievement to date.  With much more extensive songwriting and arranging contributions from the members of the band, the songs take more distinct and well-crafted forms, enabling a deeper more soulful return to traditional Rhythm and Blues roots.  However, it is the raw fire and Soul which Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings consistently pour into their music that will make this record an irreplaceable part of many people’s lives.

He’s so Fine 1958 – Lonely Teardrops 1959 – Jackie Wilson

 

Jack Leroy "Jackie" Wilson, Jr. (June 9, 1934 – January 21, 1984) was an American singer. Wilson was important in the transition of rhythm and blues into soul. Gaining fame in his early years as a member of the R&B vocal group, The Dominoes, after going solo in 1957, he went on to record over fifty hit singles over a repertoire that included R&B, pop, soul, doo-wop and easy listening before lapsing into a coma following a collapse on stage during a 1975 benefit concert. By the time of his death in 1984, he had become one of the most influential soul artists of his generation.

Ain’t Got No Home – The Best of Clarence ‘Frogman’ Henry 1994

Clarence "Frogman" Henry (born March 19, 1937, Algiers, New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American rhythm and blues singer.

He could sing like a girl, and he could sing like a frog. That latter trademark croak, utilized to the max on his 1956 debut smash "Ain't Got No Home," earned good-natured Clarence Henry his nickname and jump-started a rewarding career that endures to this day around the Crescent City.

Naturally, Fats Domino and Professor Longhair were young Clarence Henry's main influences while growing up in the Big Easy. He played piano and trombone with Bobby Mitchell & the Toppers from 1952 to 1955 before catching on with saxist Eddie Smith's band. Henry improvised the basic idea behind "Ain't Got No Home" on the bandstand one morning in the wee hours; when the crowd responded favorably, he honed it into something unique. Paul Gayten (New Orleans A&R man for Chess Records) concurred, hustling Henry into Cosimo Matassa's studio in September of 1956. Local DJ Poppa Stoppa laid the "Frogman" handle on the youngster when he spun the 45 (issued on the Chess subsidiary Argo), and it stuck.

Despite some fine follow-ups -- "It Won't Be Long," "I'm in Love," the inevitable sequel "I Found a Home" -- Frog sank back into the marsh sales-wise until 1960, when Allen Toussaint's updated arrangement melded beautifully with a country-tinged Bobby Charles composition called "(I Don't Know Why) But I Do." Henry's rendition of the tune proved a huge pop smash in early 1961, as did a Domino-tinged "You Always Hurt the One You Love" later that year.

Frogman continued to record a variety of New Orleans-styled old standards and catchy originals for Argo (Chess assembled a Henry album that boasted what may be the worst cover art in the history of rock & roll), even recording at one point with Nashville saxist Boots Randolph and pianist Floyd Cramer. But the hits dried up for good after 1961. Henry opened 18 concerts for the Beatles across the U.S. and Canada in 1964, but his main source of income came from the Bourbon Street strip, where he played for 19 years. You'll likely find him joyously reviving his classics at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival every year come spring -- and his croak remains as deep and melodious as ever.

Love Man – Otis Redding 1969

After the success of the previous two posthumous releases, "Dock of the Bay" and "The Immortal Otis Redding,
" Steve Cropper put out another collection of unreleased studio material.
This enjoyable disc features a dozen tracks culled from the vast amount of recordings Otis
made prior to his untimely death in December of 1967.
These songs were all from sessions done in his last year,
with the usual accompaniment of Booker T. & the MG's and the Mar-Keys.
For a compilation of leftovers, there are a number of gems to be found.
"I'm A Changed Man," "That's A Good Idea," "Groovin' Time" and the title track are classic Redding,
and the fantastic "Direct Me" features some great guitar work by Cropper.
Only three covers are included: a spirited version of "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher record and Sucess by Jackie Wilson, " Brook Benton's "A Lover's Question," and the rollicking "Look At That Girl" with some nice female backing vocals.
It may not be essential, but this album did produce a couple of Top 20 R&B hits
("Love Man" and "A Lover's Question") and it captures Otis during his most productive period.
Once you have his key records, pick this one up. It's definitely worth a listen.

   Set List:

   01.I'm a Changed Man          
   02.(Your Love Has Lifted Me) High and Higher
   03.That's a Good Idea         
   04.I'll Let Nothing Separate Us
   05.Direct Me                  
   06.Love Man                   
   07.Groovin' Time              
   08.Your Feeling is Mine

Série Dois Momentos Vol. 6 – Branca Di Neve

Vitimado por um derrame cerebral aos 38 anos de idade, em 1989, o sambista paulistano Nelson Fernandes Morais,
o Branca di Neve, tinha acabado de gravar o segundo disco solo,  incluído neste CD que resume sua trajetória nos títulos Branca Mete Bronca! Vols. 1 e 2.
Antes disso, ele tinha passado pelos Originais do Samba, roncou surdo com o Luis Wagner guitarreiro celebrado por Jorge Ben Jor, seu ídolo e modelo, com quem também tocou, além de Nara Leão, Baden Powell e Toquinho.
Os dois discos refletem a influência do samba rock ou suíngue do Babulina que se transformaria na célula básica
(depois deturpada) do pagode paulista. Com sua voz quebrada que em alguns momentos lembra Luís Melodia,
agulhada pelos sopros gingantes do estilo, Branca canta outros expoentes do setor como Bedeu (Kid Brilhantina),
Luis Wagner (Oi), Marku (Canaviá), Zelão (Boca Louca), além das próprias composições, uma delas, A Cor de Deus,
que ele chegou a mandar numa apresentação para o bispo africano Desmond Tutu numa visita à Bahia.
Com uma taxa de originalidade maior que a do diluidor Bebeto, Branca desenvolve uma ramificação da matriz benjoriana, incluída nos discos em duas contribuições menores, Falsa Magra e Quer Moleza. Para completar,
Salgueiro é Raiz cita o verso inicial de Lá Vem Salgueiro e a adaptação para suíngue de Fico Louco de Itamar Assumpção
evoca de início Bebete Vambora, ambas do mestre-escola. A morte precoce de Branca cortou as asas desse ramal promissor do samba rock.

30 Greatest Hits – Aretha Franklin 1985

Aretha Louise Franklin (Memphis, 25 de março de 1942) é uma cantora norte-americana de gospel, soul e R&B que virou ícone da música negra.

Nascida em Memphis,criada em Detroit, Michigan, tornou-se a primeira mulher a fazer parte do Hall da Fama do Rock and Roll em 3 de janeiro de 1987. Muitos chamam Aretha de "Rainha do Soul" ou "Dama do Soul". Ela é reconhecida por suas habilidades na música soul e R&B, mas também é uma adepta de jazz, rock, blues, pop e até mesmo ópera. Ela é geralmente reconhecida como uma das melhores vocalistas da história da música por publicações de porte da Revista Rolling Stone e do canal de televisão VH1. Ela é a segunda cantora a possuir mais prêmios Grammy na história, atrás apenas de Allison Krauss. Aretha possui dezessete prêmios competitivos e três honorários. O estado de Michigan declarou a voz de Aretha como sendo uma maravilha natural.

Apesar de todo o sucesso, Aretha possui apenas dois singles que foram para o primeiro lugar na lista dos mais vendidos dos Estados Unidos segundo a Revista Billboard: "Respect" nos anos 1960 (sua canção mais conhecida) e "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)", um dueto com George Michael. No entanto, vários singles dela já apareceram entre os 20 mais vendidos na lista daquela publicação, como "Think", "I Say a Little Prayer", "Until You Come Back to Me", "Who's Zoomin' Who?", "Freeway of Love", entre outros.

Silver Throat – Bill Cosby Sings 1967

William Henry Cosby Jr., Ed.D. (born July 12, 1937) is an American comedian, actor, author, television producer and activist. A veteran stand-up performer, he got his start at various clubs, then landed a vanguard role in the 1960s action show I Spy. He later starred in his own series, The Bill Cosby Show, in 1969. He was one of the major characters on the children's television show The Electric Company for its first two seasons, and created the humorous educational cartoon series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, about a group of young friends growing up in the city. Cosby also acted in numerous films.

Silver Throat: Bill Cosby Sings (1967) is the fifth album by Bill Cosby.
It was his first album that was recorded in the studio, as well as his first album that showcased his singing, backed by the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. The album consisted mostly of straightforward rhythm and blues performances, including several Jimmy Reed songs, a cover version of Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman" with slightly comedic lyrics, "Mojo Workout", which was a sequel to the Muddy Waters classic "I Got My Mojo Workin'", and "Little Ole Man" which combined a comedic monologue with Stevie Wonder's "Uptight, Everything's Alright". Also included is an original song credited to Cosby, "Don'cha Know".
"Little Ole Man" became a major hit upon release as a single, attaining gold record status for selling one million copies in the United States and reaching #4 on the U.S. Hot 100 chart. It was Cosby's only hit song.

Mussum

Antônio Carlos Bernardes Gomes, mais conhecido como Mussum(Rio de Janeiro, 7 de abril de 1941 - São Paulo, 29 de julho de 1994), foi um músico e humorista brasileiro. Como músico foi membro do grupo de samba Os Originais do Samba e como humorista, do grupo Os Trapalhões.

Carreira

Mussum teve origem humilde, nasceu no Morro da Cachoeirinha, Zona Norte do Rio de Janeiro.
Estudou durante nove anos num colégio interno, onde obteve o diploma de ajustador mecânico.  Pertenceu à Força Aérea Brasileira durante oito anos, ao mesmo tempo em que aproveitava para participar na Caravana Cultural de Música Brasileira de Carlos Machado.
Foi músico e sambista, com amigos fundou o grupo Os Sete Modernos, posteriormente chamado Os Originais do Samba.
O grupo teve vários sucessos, as coreografias e roupas coloridas os fizeram muito populares na TV, nos anos 70,
e se apresentaram em diversos países.                         Nos anos 60, é convidado a participar de um show de televisão, como humorista. De início recusa o convite,
justificando-se com a afirmação de que pintar a cara, como é costume dos atores, não era coisa de homem.    Finalmente estréia no programa humorístico Bairro Feliz (TV Globo, 1965).Consta que foi nos bastidores deste show que Grande Otelo lhe deu o apelido de Mussum, que origina-se de um peixe.

Em 1969, o diretor de Os Trapalhões, Wilton Franco, o vê numa apresentação de boate com seu conjunto musical
e o convida para integrar o grupo humorístico, na época na TV Excelsior.
Mais uma vez, recusa; entretanto, o amigo Manfried Santanna (Dedé Santana) consegue convencê-lo,
e Mussum passa a integrar o quarteto (que na época ainda era um trio, pois Zacarias entrou no grupo depois)
que terminaria tornando-o muito famoso em todo o país. Mussum era o único dos quatro Trapalhões oficiais
que era da etnia afro-brasileira (Jorge Lafond e Tião Macalé,
apesar de também afrobrasileiros e atuarem em vários quadros com o grupo, eram coadjuvantes).

Apenas quando Os Trapalhões já estavam na TV Globo, e o sucesso o impedia de cumprir seus compromissos,
é que Mussum deixou os Originais do Samba. Mas não se afastou da indústria musical,
tendo gravado discos com Os Trapalhões e alguns discos solos, dedicados ao samba.

Uma de suas paixões era a escola de samba Estação Primeira de Mangueira, todos os anos sua figura pontificava
durante os desfiles da escola, no meio da Ala de baianas, da qual era diretor de harmonia.
Dessa paixão veio o apelido "Mumu da Mangueira".
Segundo depoimento recente de Dedé Santana, Mussum era o único dos Trapalhões que, na frente das telas,
não representava um personagem. O tempo todo, Mussum era ele mesmo: alegre, brincalhão, risonho, querido por todos.
Também afirmou que Mussum era o único trapalhão que não precisava fazer o menor esforço para ser engraçado.

Hell – James Brown 1974

Hell, a double album by the man himself, is remarkably free of self-indulgence
The title tune, "Coldblooded," and "Papa Don't Take No Mess" are sure-fire disco smashes,
the kind of no-nonsense party music one expects from Soul Brother Number One.
But there are some interesting variations in the Brown formula as well.
"Please, Please, Please" is reworked as a very catchy calypso,
which combines an irresistible momentum with harmonic and melodic charm.
"These Foolish Things" sheds its warhorse image and becomes
one of Brown's most lyrical and affecting ballad performances.
Resurrections of "Stormy Monday" and "When the Saints Go Marching In"
feature chord progressions and rhythm lines which have been considerably
altered and are much the better for it. There is a studied avoidance of monotony throughout.
The instrumental work is superb.

 

Set List:

   01 Coldblooded  
   02 Hell         
   03 My Thang     
   04 Sayin' and Doin't
   05 Please,Please,Please 
   06 When the Saints go Marching In
   07 These Foolish Things Remind me of You
   08 Stormy Monday
   09 A Man Has to go Back to the Crossroad Before he Finds Himself

   11 I can't stand It "76"

   13 Don't Tell a Lie About me and I Won´t Tell the Truth on You

and 7 on April 27; tracks 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8 on April 29

"To many," Al Young writes, the organ "truly did belong in church, in classical music,
in movie palaces, or at the roller rink — anyplace but in jazz.
In the end, it was fans and listeners who turned the tide — people for whom jazz was still
a functioning social music." Jimmy Smith was the Hammond organ soloist most determined to
break with the instrument’s past, incorporate modern idioms,
and yet find his way to a new popular acceptance of the instrument, his ideas,
and jazz itself.

Kenny Burrell and Grady Tate are the perfect accompanists for Smith’s organ-grinding,
and the three musicians produced a true hit here with the title track.
