December 2011
Years end and the quality of the music never diminishes. I’m obviously feeling in a festive mood and with that in mind I bring you gifts a-plenty. Top draw tunes from Chicago based Innosphere and new girl on the block Sabrina Malhieros (daughter of Azymuths’ Alex).
Couldn’t let the year end without giving you some Teena Marie who sadly passed away recently – she provided the soundtrack to my teenage years for which I will always be grateful. Out there to the left of leftfield is Munoz with a big latin based corker Tres Ocho Siete – you will not be disappointed.
UK based Crazy P have always been a favourite of mine and Alex, Jim and Danielle deliver something very special from their second LP ‘The Wicked is Music’.
Felt in a self indulgent mood and dropped one of my secret pleasures from Lulu in proper 60’s mode which in turn led me to the archetypal soulful vibe of Blood Sweat and Tears.
Jean Carne has been waiting in the wings for a while so it was about time that I dropped this big tune from her.
On the jazz front Stanley Turrentine never lets you down – plenty of brass on offer.
The star in this firmament has to be Scandinavian combo Little Dragon – with Yukimi Nagano on vocals – who provide us with one of the tunes of the year in ‘Constant Surprises’ which will leave you completely hooked.
So that’s some of the final offerings for 2011 all wrapped up in a nice big bow and I swear I heard the sound of sleigh bells in the distance.
Enjoy!
