Isaac Hayes R.I.P

2008-08-14T13:01:00.000-07:00

Soul legend Isaac Hayes passed away on Sunday August 10, 2008 at the age of 65, ten days short of his 66th birthday. Hayes' influence on the music world was unparalleled as a songwriter, producer, and singer. Best known for the Theme to 1971 blaxploitation flick Shaft, Hayes' influence on the hip-hop world was rivalled only by James Brown and Parliament/Funkadelic, as his songs were sampled hundreds of times by artists such as Wu Tang Clan, 2Pac, Biz Markie, Pete Rock and Public Enemy among many more. The man has left an indelible impression on music, and his legacy will live on. R.I.P Isaac Hayes.

Maceo Parker

2008-06-18T18:43:00.000-07:00

On Thursday's Music of My Mind, the first half of the program will be dedicated to the music of Maceo Parker, one of the great saxophonists of the last 40 years and one of the architects of FUNK music as we know it. The man has played with the funkiest of the funky and has been the leader of horn sections for the likes of James Brown/The JBs, Parliament-Funkadelic and most recently Prince. Check out his rather lengthy discography. However, Maceo should also be recognized for his own solo work and as band leader for recent albums such as FunkOverload War, School's In!, and his most recent double live album, Roots & Grooves, featuring tributes to James Brown and Ray Charles. Maceo and his amazing band will be performing live at the 24th annual Victoria JazzFest on Sunday night (June 24th) at Element Nightclub. Do not sleep on this show folks!! We are hoping to get an interview with the man himself on the weekend to be broadcast on next week's show...

Music of My Mind Best of 2007

2007-12-20T12:42:00.000-08:00

Best Reissue:
Betty Davis - Betty Davis/They Say I'm Different (Light in The Attic)

What more needs to be said about Betty Davis? At long last, a record company (Light In The Attic) with the smarts to get behind one of the most underrated female vocalists of the 1970s, Ms. Betty Davis, not to be confused with the movie star from the 1940s! Davis' first two records were re-released this year with bonus cuts and alternate takes to great fanfare. One of the funkiest ladies to ever grab a microphone, Betty breaks it down in a way that hadn't been done before or done since. A collection of blues and funk soaked soul that can't help but make you feel her pain, anger, happiness or ecstasy. Davis was the embodiment of Foxy Brown, James Brown, Tina Turner and Gloria Steinem. In the 70s she was misunderstood and difficult to market, but today she has a new legion of fans. Let's not forget that she was not Mr. Miles Davis - the dude could not handle this woman! Do not sleep on her !! Thank you Light in the Attic...

Best Hip-Hop:
Grand Analog - Calligraffiti (Urbnet/Slo Coach)

Hailing from Winnipeg, former Moodruff MC/producer Odario Williams emerges with his most ambitious project to date, Grand Analog, a melding of musical styles in the vein of k-os but without k-os' righteousness and therefore much more fun. Calligraffiti is infused with potpourri of roots reggae/dub,funk, rock and soulful hip-hop and includes sure shot party starters "I'll Walk Alone", "Touch Your Toes, and "Around This Town". Williams collaborated with many musicians for this project and it shows, as the album has an organic feel that would undoubtedly transfer well to a live setting. Great stuff indeed...

Honorable mentions: Abdominal - Escape from the Hole, Shad - The Old PRince, Common - Finding Forever

Best Afrobeat/Afro Funk:
Mr. Something Something and Ikwunga - Deep Sleep (Rebishut/World Records)

The new album from Mr. S.S.incorporates more traditional African rhythms and Ikwunga’s spoken word poetry with the band's more modern take on Afrobeat, including vocals from frontman Johan Hultqvist. Mr. Something Something’s horn section provides grand flourishes throughout the record and also works as a foil to Ikwunga’s strong vocal presence. Ikwunga’s soothing but commanding baritone voice takes you on a journey through a variety of tempos and rhythms and from the high energy and intense (Di Bombs, You are Beautiful) into a trancelike meditative state (Deep Sleep) and everywhere in between. The combination of music, harmony and lyrics focusing on social justice and global issues will move your body yet also contemplate your world and appreciate its beauty and rhythm.

Antibalas - Security
Honorable mention: Soul Jazz Orchestra - Freedom No Go Die

Best Funk/Soul Vocal:
Nicole Willis and the Soul Investigators - Keep Reachin' Up (Light In the Attic)

Originally released in several European countries in late 2005/2006 to critical acclaim, it finally made its way to North America in August of this year, courtesy of Seattle label Light in The Attic. Musically, Keep Reachin Up is a record that does not pigeonhole itself into a corner, but explores soul and funk in a variety of ways, from the sizzling uptempo dancefloor favorite Feeling Free to the slow burn of No One’s Gonna Love You and the Motown inspired Four Leaf Clover. The Soul Investigators employ a vast array of instrumentation including a gorgeous string section, pianos, flute, a tight horn section that even Maceo Parker would approve of, and an fiery organ that almost steals the show on a couple of songs.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - 100 Days 100 Nights (Daptone)
Honorable mention: Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

Best Funk/Soul Instrumental:
Budos Band - Budos Band II

Daptone Records continues to bring the heat! The Budos Band were definitely back in '07 with their blazing Staten Island blend of instrumental funk/afrobeat. Furious horns, swirling organs, thick, succulent basslines and a beat that will keep you forever sweating like a ....

Best Jazz/Downtempo:
Nostalgia 77 - Everything Under the Sun (Ubiquity)

Before this year, Britain's Nostalgia 77 was best known for it's cover of the White Stripes "Seven Nation Army". However, their record Everything Under the Sun finally made it's way to North American soil this year and was well worth the wait. The album takes us on a cosmic journey through lush, abstract soundscapes of Nostalgia 77 and redefines jazz to a new generation of listeners. Ubiquity Records continues to release genre bending yet accessible music to those who want something different...

Best Compilation:
Cult Cargo: Grand Bahama Goombay (Numero Group)
Si Para Usted - The Funky Beats of Revolutionary Cuba (Waxing Deep)

The Caribbean has been the destination of choice to explore musically over the past 2-3 years for the amazing reissue and compilation labels who continue to unearth many treasures unbeknownst to most, with the exception of a few obsessive crate diggers the world over. These two compilations bring some similar Caribbean influences butthe music is very different. Who knew the Bahamas had an incredible funk scene apart from the legendary Funky Nassau, led by the incredible Jay Mitchell, who is featured on three tracks. We all know Cuba has an incredible musical heritage but the Buena Vista Social Club is but a small piece of this. Cuban music has bee difficult to obtain, even to those in Canada, as most of the goods have to travel through the US to get here. The rich jazz, funk, soul and AfroCuban musical scene of the 70's and early 80s is shared here with Si Para Usted, with a phenomenal group of artists including Irakere, Juan Pablo Torres Y Algo Nuevo, and Los Reyes '73.

Best New Discovery:
Orgone - The Killion Floor

This category could technically be renamed best musical mix in that it fuses all musical genres that continue to be explored on the Music of My Mind. Los Angeles based collective Orgone incorporates influences as diverse as James Brown, Jamiroquai, Funky Nassau and Fela, Orgone are clearly here to rock the party and by any means necessary. A great musical mix of soul, funk, downtempo, afrobeat and disco is what the Killion Floor brings to the table. I can't wait to see this group live!!

A Little Something Something

2007-10-24T13:16:00.000-07:00

Toronto Afrobeat/funk collective Mr. Something Something will release their new album Deep Sleep featuring Ikwunga The Afrobeat Poet on Tuesday October 30th. For the new record,Mr. Something Something has added an element that was missing from their excellent 2005 release The Edge, a genuine Nigerian afrobeat poet in the tradition of the Black President, Fela Kuti. Ikwunga, now living in Baltimore, has the experience of opening shows for Fela's son, Femi at his club in Lagos in the 1990s. The new album incorporates traditional Afrobeat stylings and spoken word poetry with the band's more modern take on Afrobeat. Mr Something Something's uncanny ability to mix genres (Funk/Afrobeat/Reggae) into pulsating rhythms continues with this release and I'm looking forward to these songs being performed live with Ikwunga when they next come out to the West Coast.

2007-10-13T16:34:00.000-07:00

Check out my interview with the lovely Nicole Willis of Nicole Willis and the Soul Investigators which aired on my show a few weeks back. After a few minor technical difficulties setting up the interview from Finland, Nicole talked candidly about the current state of soul music, her band the Soul Investigators, the differences between making music in the US vs. making music in Europe (UK and Finland). A big shout out again to Nicole (for her patience!) and Laura at Spectre Entertainment for hooking it up! Enjoy and let me know what you think...

If you get the chance, check out this article in the new issue of Exclaim magazine, which outlines the rise of the new soul movement and includes interviews and bios of Solomon Burke, Bettye Lavette and Sharon Jones. These are all artists who have paid their dues and have experienced either a rebirth or the most success in their music careers only very recently. Forget about the modern r&b diva, these men and women have true soul and character! A great article indeed! Read the story with the link below:
