Thirty years ago, Graziano Uliani, emiliano crazy in the soul of soul of the South of the United States and Otis Redding (he had just attended the celebrations of the twenty years of his death in Macon, Georgia) had a dream: to transmutate his Porretta Spas, tiny spa on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine, in a small local Memphis. Since then, on the stage of the festival he devised and launched in 1987, soul giants climb and worship names loved by fans, and this double CD by 103 Music Editions and Discography and Warner is like an exciting flashback over history Of an event that has just earned international fame and recognition, ending up to become a bastion of a historical genre that at home could be completely forgotten: in the two live recordings of the main protagonists of the recent editions of the show that someone has Defined as 'The Italian Woodstock Of Black American Music'.

Royce Wood Junior - The Ashen Tang (2015)
Label: Adventures | MP3 320 kbps CBR | 48:32 min | 111 mb
Electronic, Pop, Soul

The Ashen Tang is a refreshingly modern album that nonetheless sounds like an instant classic, taking in myriad influences and sounds both new and old, from the infectious funk jams of Prince and Stevie Wonder and the simmering neo-soul of D’Angelo to the sparse, maverick beats of J Dilla and Flying Lotus and more, all spilling forth in Royce’s infectiously off-kilter, multi-layered production and that magnetic voice. A remarkably confident and multi-faceted debut from one of the UK’s best new artists, The Ashen Tang shows without doubt that the praise is justified, and there’s yet more to come.

Mandrill - The Best Of Mandrill (1974/2006) Music

Mandrill - The Best Of Mandrill (1974/2006)
EAC Rip | FLAC (tracks, cue, log) - 305 MB
50:18 | Soul, Funk, Jazz-Funk, Fusion | Label: Polydor

Rounding up the greatest grooves from the band's first five albums, right up until it left for United Artists in 1975, The Best of Mandrill is a top compilation for one of the most freewheeling bands of the early '70s. Unsurprisingly for a funk group, Mandrill excelled at recording catchy, well-played material with deep grooves, though unlike many bands, all of it was tempered by an experimentalist bent and a restless desire to explore many different avenues (occasionally in the same song). The compilation opens perfectly with "Ape Is High," "Fencewalk," "Git It All," and "Hang Loose" – the band's four biggest hits, and (not a coincidence) its four greatest songs. The other seven tracks aren't always the best available: "Mango Meat" and its self-titled debut single are solid choices, but substituting a pair of album tracks ("House of Wood," "I Refuse to Smile") for the R&B hits "Positive Thing" and "The Road to Love" doesn't make much sense. Most importantly, though, The Best of Mandrill includes every song Mandrill's known for, in a punchy sequencing that does justice to the band's uncommon style.

Icons of R&B and Soul [Two Volumes] [2 volumes]: An Encyclopedia of the Artists Who Revolutionized Rhythm eBooks & eLearning

Drawn from a mosaic of influences, including folk, gospel, and blues, R&B represents both everything that came before and nothing that was heard before. This is the music that bridged the gap between audiences and helped, at the very height of racism in America, to dismantle racial barriers. So much of today's music is derived directly from the highly influential and critically important sounds of R&B that without it we would have never known the classic soul of the late '50s and '60s, the glory days of the genre.
