 (2 Customer Reviews)
With their appealing jazz-funk fusion and proto-acid jazz jams, Roy Ayers Ubiquity had some winning moments in the 1970s. One of them, "Running Away," can be found on 1977's LIFELINE. A disco-infused dance hit, "Running Away" works a burbling groove that induces shimmying and shaking upon first listen. Some of that magic spills over into the other tracks on LIFELINE, though the album suffers some from dated production and concessions to the trends of the time. Even so, Ayer's tasteful vibes work keeps things cooking, as does the funky playing of his ensemble.Mojo (Publisher) (p.121) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'This Side Of Sunshine' is a gorgeous summer-vibed opener, while the propulsive, party groove, 'Cincinnati Growl' shows off Ayers' vibes prowess."

AGOG..........agile............to be AGOG for (Eng.): excited, eager for.... AGOG....agogiek: study of the change in tempo introduced in support of expressive recital.........agogo..........AGOG.Whatever the meaning given to AGOG, energy, the unexpected and humour come first for this group. Officially started in 1993 after winning the Europe jazz contest the group has been reestablished after a break of several years. Three musicians from different directions joining in a variety of styles: jazz, garage-rock, country, imaginary folk music from south-east Europe and Africa and new music with "Zappa like" complexity. The group transforms all the different influences to a very rich and new group sound without turning into parody or uncontrolled mix of styles.The compositions, mostly from guitarist Frank Wingold, are sometimes like Gothic buildings in structure, where every note has his own important place, on occasion the sensation is as of a cloud-scape where the listener feels far away in an almost fairy tale-like scene.Frank Wingold is in Germany one of the most well known and important guitar players from the Cologne underground scene. ...
| | Primo 7 Pinta O Sete CD (2005) (Import)
Lifeline
$12.85
Vinyl LP version also available directly from the label at www.whatmusic.comAs one of the prime (primo?) movers in the Rio-based piano trio scene, Porto Alegre-born Primo Jr had cut two albums already for Musidisc both featuring covers of the keys songs of the day. Following on from the two trio LPs came Primo's stab at popular dance music with the release of 'Pinta o 7'.'Pinta o 7' in Portuguese means something akin to 'painting the town red' or 'going for it', and on this great record we get seven musicians who are really going for it. The nascent discotheque culture had started to impact on the local music scene. Italian crooners, French 'chansons', West Coast pop and local covers of rock'n'roll hits had all had their effect on the groups that still dominated the nightclubs in the era before DJs and records took over.The prime movers in this new scene were Ed Lincoln and his group, featuring Orlann Divo, Tony Tornado and Durval Ferreira. In the manner of Ed Lincoln's classic group Primo abandoned his piano to take up the Hammond organ.Side One kicks off with a swinger - 'João Quatrocentão', a call and response swinger about a guy they call 'Johnny 400'. Next up is the Mancini-like 'Leila' - a cool bossa jazz in waltz time. Trumpet-led, with a melancholy vibes solo, the tune comes over as a cross between Ed Lincoln and Cal Tjader! 'Você e de Pic-Nic' is really 'painting the seven' - a 100 mph vocal-led trumpet and organ swirl about a girl who's cool and chic but she's just a bit too 'pic-nic' for Primo! 'É com Pimenta' - 'if there are gonna be Baianas dancing the samba at this party then I'm bringing my own chilli pepper', says this cheesy vocal take on a samba classic. 'Romantic Partners' was made famous a few years earlier by Ed Lincoln and showcases the considerable compositional talents of Musidisc boss Nilo Sérgio - a man who led his own easy listening orchestra in the 50s and 60s. Period twangy guitar and percussive organ...'Deixa o Morro Cantar' is a swinger instrumental in the manner of 'Cochise', the Ed Lincoln classic.Side 2 starts with a stomper - 'Gira Mundo'. Bongos and an afro-samba groove open this classic club dance track. Written by Luiz Carlos Sá, a composer of 60s greats like 'Capoeira de Oxalá', and with ...

"Perhaps the challenge of playing 'roots' or soul music is the struggle between paying homage to the legends of the past while still being fresh and original, propelling the music forward. Mick Kinney accomplishes both, and more. Every year when we teach together at the Swannanoa Gathering, I find myself scratching my head, wondering how he creates such a unique and authentic sound. It's just in him...it's in his hands and ...
