TIM DILLINGER - LOVE IS ON MY MIND CD Tim Dillinger's warm and soulful voice is perfectly suited to this easy on the ear selection of mellow 80's grooves. With tracks like 'Promise To Stay', 'Can't Help But Say' and 'Just Doesn't Matter', this album will appeal to lovers of the laid-back 'blue-eyed' style of Modern Soul.	VANESSA FREEMAN - SHADES CD Vanessa Freeman possesses a powerful voice that was showcased to great effect on the Blue Note Revisited project. Her own solo debut is an eclectic mix of styles that will appeal to those of you that enjoy a cross-section of our music. The funky mid-tempo/organic 'Show Me', along with the more up-tempo 'The Way' & the title track are among the album's highlights. Vanessa is a lady that we are destined to hear much more from, hopefully.	PETE BELASCO - DEEPER CD Ostensibly a Smooth Jazz man, Pete Belasco's music touches Soul and straight-ahead Jazz along the way. On the Soul side Pete's languid vocals sound not dissimilar to Marvin Gaye, and the laidback sensual groove is certainly reminiscent of Marvin a la 'I Want You' period. 'Deeper' and 'Hurry Hurry' typify that approach and set a distinct mood and feel to the album. 'Crazy' and 'Nia' are quality Smooth Jazz instrumentals, whilst the organ led 'People Ask Me' is a superb jazzy groover. Pete's consummate vocals are matched by his soulful sax style.	WILLIE WALKER AND THE BUTANES - RIGHT WHERE I BELONG CD If you prefer your Soul southern style with strong songs, real instrumentation and horns, then Willie Walker will be up your street. Willie's Soul music is drenched in the blues and downright dirty and nasty (in a 70's sense) and pays homage to the great Memphis sound that the Stax and Hi labels perfected. This 'from the gut' Soul is typified on tracks like 'Change' and 'Give As Good As You Get'.	REGGIE WATTS - SIMPLIFIED CD/VINYL Reggie Watts is a unique talent, as anyone who has witnessed his live performances will testify. His debut album is equally unique, but it is the Funk tinged (check the Sly influence) Soul tunes that are of real interest. 'Wanna Get' with its liquid bass, the awesomely soulful mid-tempo groover 'Sure Do Like The Fire' & on the infectious 'Movin On' are the standouts. If you enjoyed Amp Fiddler's 'Waltz Of The Ghetto Fly' then Reggie Watts' 'Simplified' will do the business too.
BUILD AN ARK - PEACE WITH EVERY STEP - CD/ DOUBLE VINYL The concept behind Build An Ark - building a bridge between cultures and faith - is much needed in our strife torn world. The music is heavy and echoes the great music of Strata East, Black Jazz, Nimbus and the Tribe labels from back in the day. Indeed several of the musicians such as Nate Morgan and Phil Ranelin were a part of those labels. The killer covers of 'You Got To Have Freedom' with Dwight Trible's deeply emotive vocals (a la Leon Thomas) and Ronnie Laws' 'Always There' are truly awesome. Deep.	VARIOUS ARTISTS - NEW SOUL HEAVEN CD 'New Soul Heaven' is a fine compilation of new Soul tracks that mixes the modern Soul orientated with the organic. Gwendolyn Joy's wonderfully jazzy 'What I See In You' is a beautiful song and compares favourably with Ms Jean Carne. Ashley Ta'mar guested on Chris Standring's last album 'Groovalicious' and also featured on Frank McComb's brilliant 'The Truth' album. Her contribution here 'You Remind Me' is a real Soul gem. Emerald Jade's 'You Bring Joy' is breezy and bright song whilst Byron Woods' take on the Natural Four's 'Could This Be Real' is lovely rendition of this classic.	PATTI LABELLE - TIMELESS JOURNEY CD Patti Labelle is a diva in the true sense of the word. She combines one of Soul's most powerful voices with personality and charisma. 'Timeless Journey' is a contemporary Soul album full of sassiness & class. Check out songs like 'More Than Material' & the excellent single 'New Day' plus the ballads such as 'Sometimes Love' & the superb 'Good Lovin', not forgetting also the icing on the cake 'When You Smile' featuring Carlos Santana & Sheila E. This album will attract new fans and please existing ones.	MONET - ESSENCE CD Not to be confused with the RnB singer of the same name, this Monet combines Soul and Smooth Jazz. Monet plays flute but it is the Soul tunes that impress. Not dissimilar to the feel on Coolys Hot Box's debut or Angela Johnson's album - 'Essence' is produced by Angela's husband, this album has a distinctive flavour. Standouts include the beautiful 'U Told Me', the gentle 'Divided Dreams' & the sublime 'Wanna Kiss You'. Check also the uptempo optimistic 'Play On', but the real corker is 'Joy' with its uplifting, optimistic message and feel. This album has not received the plaudits that Monet's talent and the songs deserve - probably an album that will be revered in years to come.	RAHSHAAN PATTERSON - AFTER HOURS CD Rahshaan's third album has more of an independent sound than 'Love In Stereo' and his self-titled debut. He stills retains that very individual nasal vocal style that characterised those albums, and the class of the man is there for everyone to hear. The uptempo 'Burnin' and the more mid-tempo grooves like 'The One For Me' & 'Separate' are standout moments but also try the beautiful 'April's Kiss', 'Hot' & 'Loving You'.
SOULIVE - TURN IT OUT DOUBLE CD (ORIGINAL/REMIX)/ DOUBLE VINYL (REMIX ONLY) When it comes to live performances, Soulive have no peers. Their all-action funky style seems to know no limits and the UK reissue of their debut album from 1999 captures that energy perfectly. Paired with a Hip Hop remix of that set, it is the original album that reflects the trio's Jazz roots and sounds not unlike a late 60's Blue Note/Prestige Hammond set. Check the blistering live version of 'Uncle Junior', the driving title song or the gritty 'Tabasco'. Standouts on the remix are the single 'Doin Something' & the beautiful mid-tempo vocal 'Arruga'. Hot stuff.	A BOSSA ELETRICA - ELETRIFICACAO CD /DOUBLE VINYL The raw Fusion label out of Sweden is responsible for some of the most infectious Jazz grooves of the last couple of years. A Bossa Eletrica is a six-piece Swedish combo whose sound is more reminiscent of Rio than Malmo, will enhance the label's reputation still further. This joyful album skips through a selection of Brazilian themes effortlessly. 'Quem Vai Devolver Meu Dia' is a Samba piece worthy a place in any collection. 'Veja O Sol' starts mellow then ups the tempo. If you are into the modern sound of Dalata or respect Marcus Valle, Joyce et al. And don't miss their take on Viva Brazil/Alive's 'Skin Do Le Le'. This is music to make you smile, dance and uplift. BUY LP	GERARDO FRISINA - HI NOTE CD / DOUBLE VINYL Candidate for Jazz album of the year (2004), 'Hi Note' combines 60's Blue Note influences with Latin and modal sounds. This album kicks off with the infectious 'Inviolatin' and never lets up the pace. The furious pace is sustained on cuts like 'Bluesanova' and 'Saeta 03'. On the Latin side, check 'Cubana' & 'Sophisticated Samba' that owe more than just a nod towards mid 60's Horace Silver. This fantastic album seems to achieve the impossible by sounding both retro and brand spanking new and fresh simultaneously. The Italian musicians pay homage to 60's Jazz through their sheer exuberance and the standard of their ensemble playing and solos. In our opinion this album is essential listening.	BEBEL GILBERTO - BEBEL GILBERTO CD Bebel's musical heritage cannot be questioned. Bebel' style is firmly in the tradition of Astrud Gilberto/Joyce and its waspish qualities is the perfect expression of the Brazilian reputation for the sensual and sexy. She sings softly in both Portuguese & English floating across a series of seductive rhythms. It is difficult to pick tracks as the album reflects a romantic mood, but 'River Song', 'All Around' & Baby' are perhaps the most impressive songs.	INTUIT - INTUIT CD / DOUBLE VINYL Another contender for the Jazz album of 2004, and probably the Compost labels' most complete project to date. Guest such as Andy Bey, Doug Carn and Airto/Flora Purim steal the show. Carn's 'Western Sunrise' is re-invigorated by Bey's bluesy lead vocal, whilst the Afro-beat 'Fenytola' is a real barnstormer. The evocative 'Planet Birth' strikes a chord, but this album maintains a high standard track to track and is another essential purchase, especially if you like albums that takes you on a musical journey rather staying within a single theme. Intuit touches Afro-beat, Soul, Spiritual Jazz (a la Strata East/Black Jazz) and Brazilian flavours along the way.
TEMPTATIONS - LEGACY Over 40 years in the business, numerous personnel changes (G C Cameron is the latest recruit), track record that traverses Soul's entire history and the guys still deliver. Arguably their best album in 20 years, 'Legacy' captures the flavour of their early 70's work with Norman Whitfield. Steve Harvey produced the strongest cuts like the autobiographical 'Still Tempting' and the infectious 'Round Here'. 'Something Special' is a 2 Step Soul song of monster proportions whilst the mid-tempo cuts 'All The Way People' and 'Why Can't We Be Lovin Friends' are the perfect vehicle for those unsurpassed vocal harmonies. One of THE albums of 2004. House circles.	CARMEN ROGERS - FREE CD Carmen cut her teeth as N'Dambi's backing singer and this album shares the vibe of the Texas sound that Erykah Badu and N'Dambi made famous. Her voice - not unlike Tiffany Laing's - sounds bold and strong as statements like the title song indicate. The 'organic' songs like 'Just Believe', 'Dream', 'Missing You' and the gritty ''Ain't Not Time' hit the bulls-eye. The mid-tempo swayer ' 'The Way (I Wanna Touch You)' is an outstanding contemporary Soul track, that is a contender for song of the year. Highly recommended.	CARL THOMAS - LETS TALK ABOUT IT CD Carl Thomas is adept at mixing Soul and RnB, and manages to satisfy the demands of both styles. His approach is reminiscent of many of nu RnB's innovators like Keith Sweat, R Kelly and Brian McKnight. Yet Carl is very much his own man and his style is very personal and individual. The riff-laden 'Let's Talk About It' sounds like a modern-day Marvin Gaye tune whilst 'My First Love' takes a down-tempo RnB route. This album has a delightful down/mid-tempo mellow vibe, and is one of this year's most successful fusion of the old and the new.	GENO YOUNG - GHETTO SYMPHONY CD Geno is a talented singer, songwriter, producer and keyboard player who has contributed to fine albums from N'Dambi and Carmen Rodgers. His keyboard work on N'Dambi's 'Tunin Up & Cosignin' is truly incredible. Vocally similar to Omar in places, Geno really shines on the Organic floater 'Honeydew', 'Man With The Love' and two different takes of 'On Broadway', the jazzier one being the stand out track, although the album is strong throughout - deep and Soul drenched.	VARIOUS ARTISTS - DETROIT SOUL CD / DOUBLE VINYL Second in this series explores the current contribution of Detroit (the original home of Motown) to Soul's rich tapestry. Dwele's 'The Truth' & the fantastic 'Tainted' by Slum Village featuring Dwele are winners and need little introduction. Gems like Anetria Wright 'Feeling Of Love' & Innerzone Orchestra 'People Make The World Go Round' deserve wider recognition and awareness, as does Platinum Pied Piper's 'Open Your Eyes'. Check also the exclusive live drum mix of 'You' that was not on Amp Fiddler's superb 'Waltz Of The Ghetto Fly' album. This is Soul with a modern-day Detroit twist i.e. slight Techno flavour in places
TERRY CALLIER - LOOKIN OUT CD / SINGLE LP Terry Callier possesses a unique voice that blends Soul, Jazz, Blues even Folk. His music transcends genres, styles and fads. 'Lookin Out' is an inspirational set of mellow downbeat songs that is a window into Terry's Soul, as the wonderful 'Africa Now' shows with its poignant message. 'Jazz My Rhythm & Blues' and the blues tinged 'Midnight Mile' plus the reverential tribute 'Blue For Billie Holiday' are typical Callier songs full of insightful lyrics and delicate yet delicious melodies. His best album since Timepeace. The vinyl includes all the tracks mentioned but contains 8 of the 17 cuts from the CD.	MARCO DI MARCO - MY LONDON FRIENDS CD / DOUBLE VINYL Marco Di Marco will be a familiar name to connoisseurs of Italian Jazz. This inspired musical marriage with London based saxman/flautist Nathan Haines is a delight with Haines in particular fine form, whilst Di Marco's gentle piano style provides the perfect backdrop to the energetic saxophonist. The feel is distinctly late 60's echoing the brightness and optimism of London's Kings Road in that era. This is joyful stuff - jazzy with hints of Latin as the modal 'Brazilian Waltz' illustrates. The bass led 'Solaria' & the slinky percussive 'Take Off' are strong 60's Jazz pieces that underline the uplifting vibe.	JAVI P3Z ORQUESTA - SPORTS CD JAVI P3Z ORQUESTA - SPORTS CD Using the Olympics as the inspiration for this quirky, quizzical and tongue in cheek selection out of Spain. The full band including horns the album works well on the Afro-beat barnstormer 'Safari' and the Jazz dancer 'Ping Pong'. This eclectic musical delight takes a wide-ranging journey through jazzy and funky grooves.	SPANISH HARLEM ORCHESTRA FEAT RUBEN BLADES - ACROSS 110TH ST CD Lovers of Salsa and Afro Cuban rhythms will adore this album; the sensual cross rhythms will seduce and entrance you. The album kicks off at a moderate pace and builds to a crescendo on 'Te Cantare'. The full horn section and layered percussion give a lush backdrop to the romantic vocals and fine solos.	AL JARREAU - ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE CD Al Jarreau most Jazz orientated album for years. This selection of standards (primarily) allows Al to demonstrate the elasticity of his vocals. Eddie Harris' 'Cold Duck' hits a jazzy groove, whilst the beauty of his voice is particularly striking on the ballads 'The Nearness Of You' and 'My Foolish Heart'. It is however the new material that standout, such as the idiosyncratic 'Scootcha Booty', and 'Groovin High' which features Al's trademark scat.
JABARI GROVER - WHEN IM WITH YOU In demand on the underground UK Soul circuit, this album includes two outstanding modern Soul cuts in 'I Cant Help It' and 'Pocket Full Of Dreams'. Grover's smooth voice compliments these mid tempo songs with hints of Frank McComb to his voice. Nice mellow Soul.	OLA - IN EMERGENCY.BRAKE SILENCE 'Soul Town' expresses feelings about our music that many of us share and endorse. This song is a contender for track of the year. This outstanding song laments the state of Soul music today, but also broadcasts that the music still has a special place in many people's hearts. Ola's distinctive voice excels on the groover 'Parallel Universe' and the tugs at the emotions on the ballad 'Thanks'. Our man is one of the UK's best-kept secrets, but Ola is a man on a mission and the mission is Soul.	BLAZE - KEEP HOPE ALIVE When it comes to soulful House/Garage, Blaze is most definitely in the premier league. Their music fuses the new with classic Disco Soul/Boogie. First and foremost, their music is dance music, but it is also uplifting, soulful with intelligent lyrics and memorable songs. The title of the album says it all and the tracks certainly live up to the sentiment. The all-star line up includes Barbara Tucker, Kenny Bobien, Arnold Jarvis and more. Check the soulful 'A Wonderful Place' with Ultra Nate, Byron Stingily 'Spread Love'. Besides the uplifting message this CD is an excellent chance to sample these great artists. Outstanding.	LALAH HATHAWAY - OUT RUN THE SKY If a prize were given for the vocal performance of the month, then Lalah's long awaited solo return would win hands down. Her vocals echo those of her late-great father, Donny but they also combine the poise of Anita Baker with the earthiness of Ann Nesby in the most soulful of fusions. It is the ballads that remind us what SOUL is all about, check 'More', the gorgeous take on Luther's 'Forever For Always, For Love' and the stunning 'We Were 2'. Standout is however the mid-tempo dancer 'Better And Better' with its organic undertones. Lalah is certainly a contender for the most welcome return of 2004.	LENNY WILLIAMS - MY WAY 70's Soul legend hits form on this 'southern' style set on cuts like 'Can't Nobody Do Me Like You' and the update of the Tower Of Power ballad 'So Very Hard To Go'. The beautiful slowie 'I Can't Say I Love' spotlights his fine Soul voice. Lenny remains one of Soul's most articulate performers.
BLAZE - FOUND LOVE This compilation of Blaze productions underlines the brilliance of their take on soulful House and features several cuts on CD for the first time including Blaze's 'Found Love' & the classic 'How Deep Is Your Love'. Arnold Jarvis' 'Love Of My Life' & anthems such as Ambrosia 'That's How Much I Love You' & Joi Cardwell/Blaze 'Be Yourself' are simply superb dance songs. Blaze on point yet again.	TRINA BROUSSARD - SAME GIRL Trina releases a commercially available album at last after the non-appearance of her debut. Her towering vocals soar over this selection of songs that cover a wide spectrum of Soul styles from the RnB tinged 'These Are The Days' to the funky 'Joy. Gentle Soul numbers such as 'Dreaming Of One', the retro sounding 'Thinking Boutcha' and the harmonic 'I Never Thought' maintain the consistent quality on this album that Steve Harvey contributed production chores.	ANGIE STONE - STONE LOVE Angie Stone's voice is one of our music true treasures. 'Stone Love' sees Angie in slightly more commercial territory than on 'Mahogany Soul' with hints of RnB and her Hip Hop roots. Nevertheless this album is simply superb. From the catchy 'I Wanna Thank Ya', the beautiful 'Cinderella Ballin (outstanding) to the duet 'Stay For A While' with Anthony Hamilton, this album delivers gem after gem. Angie excels on the D'Angelo-ish cuts like 'U Haul' on which the full power and beauty of his voice is given full rein. Check also the gorgeous ballad 'Come Live With Me' or the equally beautiful mid-tempo 'You're Gonna Get It'. One of the albums of 2004 that has received a mixed set of reviews when it should be receiving rave ones.	ADRIANA EVANS - NOMADIC CD Adriana's 1996 debut is undoubtedly one of the 90's finest soul albums. Her second album 'Nomadic' takes a slightly different direction than her debut encompassing organic style Soul with cuts like 'Cold As Ice', 'In Search Of' and the funky 'What It Is'. Her vocals are as strong and distinctive as ever on this eclectic selection that is interesting and explorative rather than essential. Also check the Brazilian 'Midnight In Bahia' & 'Remember The Love (Samba Soul mix)'.	BRENDA RUSSELL - BETWEEN THE SUN & THE MOON Brenda is one of our music's finest songwriters and has enjoyed a solo career spanning over 20 years. 'Between The Sun & The Moon' touches several of the styles her music has explored. Incognito's Bluey produced two of the album's most impressive cuts: the wonderful and aptly titled 'Make You Smile' and the earthy 'Ain't No Smoke'. 'Our Day Will Come' is particularly catchy, uplifting and inspiring. Check the duet with Patti Austin (title cut), the stunningly beautiful 'I Know You By Heart' & the swinging 'It's A Jazz Day'.
MARCUS JOHNSON - JUST DOING WHAT I DO Marcus Johnson is a Fusion pianist/keyboards man in the tradition of legends such as Ramsey Lewis. A series of funky Smooth Jazz albums (like 'Chocolate City Groovin' and 'Urban Grooves') have earned Marcus the reputation for finely balanced synthesises of Jazz Funk, Soul and Smooth Jazz. 'Just Doing What I Do' continues that fusion. The title song is a gentle mid-tempo groover, whilst the bouncy 80's Fusion of 'Just To Get By' (shades of Rodney Franklin) will get feet tapping and moving. The relaxed & compelling 'Sunday @ Seqouia', the heavier 'Yellow Cup' & the RnB flavoured 'I Wanna' add variety and spice to this fine set.	3-D - SOUL RIDE UK based producers Andy Madhatter/Josef Ward prove that when it comes to Soul orientated Smooth Jazz the American's don't have it all their own way. This selection of sensuous and funky bass led grooves make this album a delight with cuts like 'Riff To The Smooth' and the reverential cover of Leon Ware's 'Rockin You Eternally' featuring Roy Ayers (vibes), and Woody Cunningham (Kleeer) really standing out. This is, however, very much a 'mood' album, so it's hard to select individual tracks as the album is more a selection of mid-tempo 2 Step like grooves than a collection of songs, but nonetheless this is a fine album that is worth a listen.	ERIC DARIUS - NIGHT ON THE TOWN Eric Darius is new sax kid on the block and is style is decidedly smooth. His sax tone is very easy on the ear, flowing and ultra smooth; it owes much to that of Boney James and Richard Eliot. Brisk instrumentals like 'Joy Ride', the catchy 'Night On The Town' and the slinky 'In the Pocket' compliment Soul covers like Teddy Pendergrass' 'Love TKO', Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together' and Smokey Robinson's 'Cruisin'. This album will appeal to lovers of Smooth Jazz who like their music with a touch of velvet	EVERETTE HARP - ALL FOR YOU Everette Harp records only rarely these days and after a self-imposed hiatus of five years or so, the sax supremo returns with a fine, diverse and funky Smooth Jazz set. Everette plays a mean sax on the funky 'Kisses Don't Lie' and the riff laden 'Can You Hear Me'. Howard Hewitt adds vocal ad-libs the aptly titled 'Groove Control', whilst Norman Brown adds a classy guitar solo to the breezy mid-tempo 'Hey Yeh'. This is a sparkling album that bristles with good-time grooves and bon-hommie.	HOUSE OF URBAN GROOVES - JAZZ The House Of Urban grooves mix Smooth Jazz sensibilities with a slightly harder more 'urban' style and Hip Hop flavours. 'Enemy' is a superb mid-tempo Soul tune with a wickedly sensual female vocal from Cindy Herron. Also on the Soul side check the wonderful 'Kaos'. Thug There' is a Jazz Funk groover with Patrice Rushen guesting on keyboards. The grittier 'Jak Ghetto' hits a heavy-duty groove. . Ex Blackbyrd Kevin Toney guests on 'Da Truth' and 'Vanelli' - two fine instrumentals that emphasise the diversity and quality of this album. If you enjoyed the Urban Jazz Network album from a few years back then this one will be for you.
GRADY NICHOLS - SOPHISTICATION Another new sax player delivers a fine album. Grady's playing is reminiscent of Boney James at his most smooth and mellow. This album rarely gets up above mid-tempo though remains seductively and quietly funky throughout. These sensual grooves permeate tracks like 'Livin The Life', 'A Dinner & A Movie' & 'Sneak' standing out. Lovers of Richard Elliot or Euge Groove will appreciate.	FOURPLAY - JOURNEY When it comes to quality Smooth Jazz ensemble playing, Four Play always deliver. The four members - Bob James, Larry Carlton, Nathan East and Harvey Mason - seem comfortable with this selection of easy going/easy on the ear grooves. Their solos are effortlessly put together over rhythms that ebb and flow like the tide. Bob James' compositions are instantly recognisable through the finest of melodies as 'From Day One' proves. Check also the dreamy 'Rozil' or the Blues tinged 'Cool Train'. A pleasant cover of Sting's 'Fields Of Gold' & the jazzier 'Avalbop' add variety, but if you are a Four Play fan, this entire album will do the business.	GERALD ALBRIGHT - KICKIN IT UP Gerald Albright's sax playing pedigree stretches back to the mid 70's. Gerald maintains a funky and aggressive sax style but with grooves that are upbeat yet smooth. 'Kicking It Up' sustains that approach with tracks like 'Walker's Theme' and the infectious '4 To The Floor' hitting the spot. Gerald's take on Brian McKnight's 'Condition Of My Heart' is a delightful slice of Soul with talented vocalist Shawn Stockman in impressive form. The guest list includes an unbelievable selection of contemporary Jazz stars including the likes of Peter White, Jeff Lorber, George Duke & producer Rex Rideout.	MICHAEL LINGTON - STAY WITH ME Michael Lington's expressive sax playing is well suited to this selection of laid-back songs. Highly romantic in tone, his playing is designed to melt hearts and is perfect for candle-lit occasions etc… Strong melodies are the key to this album's appeal and three tracks stand out: the lovely 'Apasionada', the soulful 'Don't Go' and the sublime riff laden Boney James-ish 'Call Me Late Tonight'.	MARION MEADOWS - PLAYERS CLUB Marion Meadows has been around for a few years and from the time of his early 80's stint with Norman Connors, he has adopted a very distinctive style using mainly the soprano sax. 'Players Club' is his most funky and Fusion orientated album in some while. Songs like the incessant 'After' and 'Diggable' will keep feet tapping and heads nodding. Check also the D'Angelo-ish 'The First Time' that illustrates Marion's feel for a soulful tune. Lovers of Marion's mellow and melodic Smooth Jazz will enjoy several of the more laid-back instrumentals. 'Players Club' is the man's strongest album for a while.
