Boris Gardiner
Every Nigger Is A Star

JAZZMAN

Killer lost blaxploitation soundtrack to Calvin Lockhart's 1974 film fiasco — deep JA funk, rocking lovers, moody dub, punchy Carib jazz, and sweet soul, bubbling together, warmly animated by the genius of US heroes like Jimmy Smith, Curtis Mayfield, and The Meters. There's a deejay version of John Holt's Same Song, with a red-eyed nod to U-Roy and Scotty from 'The Scorpion'. Keyboardist Leslie Butler tears up the deadly instrumental originals Funky Nigger, Negril and Ghetto Funk (which kicked off Darker Than Blue); Boris is especially heartfelt on the acoustic version of Star (which he wrote, and Big Youth covered). Gardiner on bass and Paul Douglas on drums keep it tight as Titus Andronicus; Tommy McCook leads the horns; Sid Bucknor from Studio One is at the controls, inside Channel One.
Another essential Jazzman revive.



Philip Cohran And The Artistic Heritage Ensemble The Zulu 45s Collection
Heady, thrilling crossings of funk and Afro-jazz from early seventies Chicago. The Arkestra veteran on Frankiphone — a customized electric thumb piano — in amongst heavy congas and percussion. A must.



E.M.A.K. A Synthetic History Of E.M.A.K.
The 80s recordings of Matthias Becker and co in Cologne, 'joining the dots between Cluster and Tangerine Dream; D.A.F.; Cabaret Voltaire and Human League; outwards to Giorgio Moroder and Daniel Baldelli.'




DJ Spinn And DJ Rashad 4 The Ghetto
Some hot juke (Bob It Low, 4 The Ghetto, Shawty Off Tha Chain), some nifty footwork (She Goin, Off A Yap), and some new-school juktronik (Daydreamin, Space Juke, Transported).



Townes Van Zandt Texas Troubadour
All seven Poppy and Tomato LPs, his best stuff, and the 1973 live set At The Old Quarter.



Marty Ehrlich Fables
The fine multi-instrumentalist on clarinets, saxophones and flute, with klezmer specialist Hankus Netsky, in limber interminglings of jazz with Jewish musical traditions. The bass clarinet with accordion is lovely.



Bloody War Songs 1924-1939
Country blues and folk originating from the American Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the First World War — humorous and tragic, sardonic and vivid, with some terrific fiddlin' and pickin'.




Michael Formanek The Rub And Spare Change
The bassist with Tim Berne, Craig Taborn and Gerald Cleaver.



Omar-S The Grand Son Of Detroit Techno!
With Theo Parrish playing live.
Some other vintage Omar-S fresh in, too.




Serge Gainsbourg Jane Birkin, Serge Gainsbourg
From 1969, with Je T'Aime, beautifully re-presented by LITA, with a Jane Birkin interview, lyric translations and saucy snaps. The CD has an extra; and the 180g vinyl comes with a seven, and a David Lasky comic.



Dizzy Flemming Resurrection
Deadly horns instrumental produced by Mikey Jarrett and Lloydie Prince in the early '80s. Originally on Man Dingo, out of New York; thrashed by Shaka. With Jarrett toasting Young Africans on the flip (so to speak).



Thriller Too Much Racket
Karat Jarrett re-running Scion Success' Young Africans: reality vibes from a young Thriller, heavy lovers from Wayne Jarrett. Both sides dubwise; all music previously unreleased. Royal Channel One lineaments.
