It’s probably fair to say that Dionne Bromfield’s debut album arrived too soon. That set, Introducing…, emerged in 2009 when the artist was just 13 years old. It suggested potential, but as the
first singing to her godmother Amy Winehouse’s Lioness imprint, there was pressure on Bromfield to meet incredible expectations born from such an association. Introducing… peaked at a chart
position of 33, and the singer vanished back into the machinations of the major label side of the music industry.
Pleasingly, Bromfield’s not just been given a second chance, but now has the right album from which to stake a claim on the nation’s soul audience. The arrangements on Good for the Soul are
superb throughout, strings sweeping in from the wings as punchy percussion demands dancefloor activity. At times – such as on the dramatic Ouch That Hurt – it genuinely captures some of that
old-fashioned Motown magic. And when it’s not looking into a past so distant for Bromfield that it must seem positively prehistoric (she’s still just 15), the album dips its toes into the same
waters that carried Duffy to so much acclaim on her first LP. Many a co-writer is involved, but this isn’t a fractured listening experience; tonally, everything gels marvellously.
Questions remain, though, and most regard Bromfield’s voice. One glossy magazine has claimed it’s a "gorgeous soul voice"; a popular tabloid has stated that she’s Shirley Bassey’s successor. But
the truth is that Bromfield is a talent yet to mature. She possesses the same nasal quality as Winehouse, and one feels that she may well have been encouraged to recall the off-the-rails star,
what with her follow-up to 2006’s Back to Black still no closer to release. Some turns feel full of affectation – nobody can deny she’s got a powerful voice, but it can seem too try-hard at
times. Give the girl another five years, let her vocals deepen naturally, and she’ll be a really special performer. Right now, it’s best to keep a lid on excessive hyperbole.
Said reservations aside, Good for the Soul is a great pop-soul record, brimming with feel-good tracks and as sure to appeal to listeners of the artist’s age as it is those raised on The Supremes.
A little more life experience and Bromfield will have the essentials to make a career-defining record. Until then, this collection continues her (rightly) gradual rise in no little style,
building upon Introducing… and bettering it brilliantly.

En 1995, quatre potes de Bordeaux s'organisent et passent d'un café à l'autre en musique. Au fil des rencontres, le groupe se forme, ils sont maintenant huit à nous éclabousser de leur rock java.
Ils parlent eux-mêmes d'un style indéfinissable, une sorte de "java-chanson-punk-caravaning". Caravaning ? Rien de plus important que le mouvement, le voyage, les rencontres. Leur premier album
nous fait rencontrer bon nombre de personnages intéressants. On nous présente les fidèles du comptoir des jours heureux... Certains sont d'ailleurs à l'image de réelles rencontres. Eugène,
Louise, la Piave, la Danseuse, Raymonde et son grand Slave...tous ces personnages épiques sont de véritables perles de poésie. Les Hurlements d'Léo épinglent des personnages pleins d'humanité et
de sensibilité. On entre dans la pénombre du café et on se mélange à ses autochtones. Dans des airs de java rock alternatif qui sentent le ska punk, ils exhibent un monde dans lequel on entre
sans complexe et où on se délecte d'être chaleureusement accueilli. La mélodie et les textes s'accordent entre poésie et énergie. On sirote son verre en écoutant défiler la vie de ces
personnages, et on danse avec eux sur des airs de folklore et de rock. Les Hurlements d'Léo nous baladent entre les tables et le comptoir, et on en redemande ! Garçon, la même !

D’origine cap-verdienne, cette voyageuse tire de ses nombreux périples un répertoire d’une riche diversité musicale. Ses mélodies envoûtantes regorgent d’influences cubaines et africaines,
qu’elle lie avec sensualité aux langoureux tempos brésiliens. Sa voix douce et chaude, aux accents soul et jazzy bouscule les rythmes traditionnels de son île de Santiago. Difficile de résister
au charme et à la grâce de cette compositrice- interprète aux prestations toujours empreintes de délicatesse.

“As a daily routine Monsieur Dubois, a retired ornithologist, would live his life looking up to the sky in search of something special. After doing so for years, his uneventful life brutally
ended, when one day Dubois spotted six as of yet undiscovered species of all sorts. They were flying together most elegantly and did so in one tight formation! Overwhelmed by emotions, the
fanatic birdwatcher produced a heartfelt primordial shout and instantly got into a state of shock, having just encountered such tremendous beauty. Breathing out his very last breath, the old man
gave this particular group his name and died happily ever after…“
Starting out as a jamband back in 1999, Monsieur Dubois has developed into a tight unit performing a crossover best described as “Danceable Hardjazz”. Monsieur Dubois adds a particular twist to
anything that grooves, with a sound defined by obstinate beats, furious solos, spacy Rhodes and pumping bass. A sound that easily finds its way to the public and has made Monsieur Dubois perform
all over Europe over the past decade.
Monsieur Dubois newest album just got released and is called “Slow Bombastik”. Imagine being dragged from a dark sweaty discotheque to a crowded marketplace in Lagos, or suddenly finding yourself
on the desolate Russian plains just after you watched a Blaxploitation movie in the centre of Amsterdam. Slow Bombastik feels just like this.
After the debut “Ruff” and successor “Soul Integration”, the Dutch band strikes again with a versatile album that sounds to the point and isn’t afraid of the simple or the empty. Monsieur Dubois
has put a bag of fresh influences into the new sound, but hasn’t forgotten to feature its mean trademark: getting steamed up with stubborn grooves and furious solos…
On the first two albums “Ruff” and “Soul Integration”, Monsieur Dubois already showed a raw yet sophisticated character, featuring original grooves, tasty improvisation and tight interplay. After
release these albums stayed in the jazz charts for many months, followed by an Edison nomination and the proclamation “Best Dutch jazz album of the decade”. The albums also received great
response from the international press: “Furious debut” (Jazz Thing), “Brilliantly leaves behind many current hypes” (De Morgen), “Ready to conquer the rest of Europe” (JAZZISM).

The original Incredible Bongo Band’s “Bongo Rock” is firmly cemented into musical history having provided the oft sampled (and completely irresistible) “Apache” drum break for a million and one
producers to cut up. Also known as
Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band, the project was born in 1972. Viner, a record artist manager and executive at MGM Records, was making use of MGM recording facilities in down-time,
recruiting whichever studio musicians
were on-hand. Ringo Starr is rumored to have played on some tracks. They made two albums of funky, instrumental music filled with covers of popular songs of the day and heavily relying on bongo
drums, conga drums, rock drums and brass.
Over 3 decades after its inception UK producer, and avid record collector, Shawn Lee was marveling at the fact that there had never been an Indian style, sitar and tabla-heavy, version of the
Incredible Bongo Band masterpiece “Apache.” “Such an obvious track, I still find it hard to believe that one doesn't already exist. (It is hella’ obscure if it does…) “Apache” is one of the
greatest and most famous drum-breaks of all time,” says Lee. Not content with covering just “Apache,” Lee decided he’d take on the entire Bongo Band debut album; and also two of his favorite
tracks from their second album for good measure. “Why cover a song when you can cover a whole album? This is the road to madness my friend, and it is my preferred route!” he adds.
Lee has attempted to replay, recreate, and capture all of the sonic characteristics of the original recordings. Viner left Lee with simple tunes to cover, but the Bongo Band used sophisticated
arrangements and his all-star line-up of guests played killer performances throughout the album. Lee couldn’t find any Beatles to recruit and record, instead he called on the talents of tabla
player Prithpal Rajput aka Cyber of the Asian Dub Foundation, and Style Council keyboard-man Mick Talbot to help realize his eccentric vision. With the utmost respect in mind Lee has re-thought
Viners drum-driven masterpiece, presenting it in an Indian-funk style that could easily be confused with the vintage release Lee was bemused to never have previously found. Lee had such a blast
covering all the songs he’s thinking about other favorite albums to tackle, tabla style.

‘Last Days of Meaning’ is Sawhney¹s ninth studio album. Played by the legendary actor John Hurt, the album¹s main character - Donald Meaning - is an embittered old man, fearful of
immigrants, terrorists and the outside world. He sits in a room raging against childhood memories, society, himself and a small tape recorder sent to him by his ex-wife. The
cassette-recorder contains the songs of the album - A message of reflection, shared memory, empathy and ultimately hope. Featuring an array of brilliant performances by singers and musicians
alike, the new album is a response to the fear, dogmatism and entrenchment that we sometimes acquire with age.
The new album will be launched at The Royal Albert Hall and is to include a new work to be performed on the Hall’s grand 140 year old organ. A small section of Sawhney’s pipe organ creation
will form part of his brand new album ‘Last Days of Meaning’. On 6 May 2011, Sawhney will be joined on stage by a string quintet and key members of his band including Martyn Kaine on drums, Aref
Durvesh on Tabla and Dholak, Ashwin Srinivasan on flute and vocals, Ian Burdge on cello, Tina Grace, Nicki Wells and Rahel
The show will also feature special guest Natty.
At the concert, Sawhney will perform tracks from the new album, along with a retrospective of his studio work to date. The included 15 minute organ commission will be performed at the concert by
his childhood friend and arguably the UK’s foremost and most prominent Hammond organist, James Taylor of the James Taylor Quartet.
As teenagers, Sawhney and Taylor decided to form a band and went together to a music shop to buy a Casio keyboard. Bringing it back to Sawhney’s house they sat around working out various melodies
and ideas for their new project. Thirty-three years later they sat together at the Grand Organ of the Royal Albert Hall trying to figure out how this 140 year old monster works. This is
something that Nitin will undoubtedly be able to put his unique and distinctive stamp on.

After the huge success of their first 2 albums "Sitar and Bossa", and “D'Jazzonga” Bebo is back with perhaps his finest yet!
With the spirit of whatever "Nu Jazz" might be, with a way-cool cinematic bossa nova-jazz groove that could pass for a genuine late-'60s or early-'70s soundtrack recording, garnished with early
21st century electronic touches.
Bebo blends elements of dance music, jazz, trip-hop, swing and downtempo into one delicious, happy cocktail and suggests the exuberant insouciance of parties, rides in convertibles on warm,
full-moon nights, and an afternoon spent dancing barefoot with friends with a glass of sangria in your hand.
The Album opens with the sublime title track, Nu-Jazz at its best! The albums flows into “Havana Jazz” and “Mambo & Cola” – lots of Brazilain Jazz here!
Next is the swingin' dance tracks of Louis Prima’s “Sing Sing Sing” and “James Bonds theme” both done “Bebo style”. Funky beats of “Jazz or NuJazz” get you into the groove with sensual parisienne
singer Luma’s vocals on “that’s the way I like it” and London’s top Jazz singer Iain Mackenzie breaks your heart with “now and ever”.
Bebo gets back into cool seductive, jazz again with “chill radio bossa” and “the sun is shinin’” with “Jazz carnival” and “daikiri bossa dance” playing the album out.
Lastly Chin Chin has added a bonus remix track of “Sing Sing Sing” done by DJ Gabriel’s with a dance floor New jazzy-grooved beat put to it!
Tracklist :
1. Saronno On The Rocks
2. Havana Jazz Dance
3. Mambo & Cola
4. Sing Sing Sing
5. James Bond Theme
6. Jazz Or Nu Jazz
