Love Language of The South

Hip-hop culture began in the early 1970s as the creative and activist expressions - graffiti writing, dee-jaying, break dancing, and rap music - of black and Latino youth in the depressed South Bronx, and the movement has since grown into a worldwide cultural phenomenon that permeates almost every aspect of society, from speech to dress.

The Bossarenova Trio stands for an elegant as well as brilliant mix of exquisite jazz ingredients and the finest Brazilian rhythms. Ironically, in the New York S.O.B.s gave the Brazilian-German threesome in 2011 his sensational live debut.

Paula Morelenbaum became on the side of Antonio Carlos Jobim a worldwide acknowledged bossa nova-capacity. Her two partners Joo Kraus and Ralf Schmid are among the most experimental and creative minds of German jazz.

" The annals of jazz abound with nicknames: Satch, King, Pres, Lady, Count, Dizzy, Bird, Hawk, Rabbit, Lips, Fats, Curly, Slim, Slam. But only one musician was named for the music itself: Little Jazz–soon shortened to simply Jazz by Roy Eldridge's close friends. Norman Granz, who produced most of the sessions in this set, once wrote that he knew "no other musician whose playing better typifies the spirit of jazz than Roy Eldridge," and indeed Little Jazz was ALL jazz, from top to toe, the whole feisty five feet, six inches of him. Bristling with energy, "trying to outplay anybody, and outplay them my way," he was always ready to challenge all comers, but most of all, himself. "

It's 100 years since Nelson Mandela was born and 70 years since the official introduction of the Apartheid laws in South Africa. Director Dhivya-Kate Chetty tells her family's story, following her parents Radha and Maggie - a mixed, and once 'illegal' couple - on a trip from Glasgow back to South Africa. Stories of the past begin to unfold, with tales of resistance, protests, surveillance, an uncle in jail and a surprise connection with Mandela, in hiding.

Such an unimaginative title for such a imaginative boxful. Across four discs and 105 songs, Cliff Richard's earliest catalog comes in for precisely the kind of treatment every rock & roll star should have: an all-encompassing study of his most important period. Even more impressively, though the song titles all sound familiar, the performances rarely are. Thirty-seven tracks are bona fide unreleased (South African 78s notwithstanding), but several dozen more are culled from scarce EP-only mixes, rarely resurfacing B-sides, and unusual mixes. One cut, an undubbed take of "Willie and the Hand Jive," was hitherto available only on a mid-'80s budget-priced single disc, covering much the same period as this. It wasn't aimed at collectors, it wasn't heavily advertised, and it probably didn't sell many copies. Of such things do completists dream, but when you have a beakful of hen's teeth to sort through, do such things really matter? Discs one through three are the conventional ones.
