After hours grooving…
Miles Davis Quintet – If I Were a Bell
After a full woking day, I love to turn the lights down and the music level too, and so start to cook my dinner with the best Jazz, it relax me a lot! Thank you Miles for this happy theme!
Sly & The Family Stone – A Family Affair
I love the Bossa Nova style Rhythm Box machine groove together with the arcustic drum set, the Electric Piano, Bass, Guitars, fantastic vocals, etheral R&B song, easy ever green music, but that raw sound’s great to my hears!
Herbie Hancock – Watermelon Man
…What can I say about it? not much, just wonderful jazz / funk music played by great musicians!
James Brown – Soul Power
Another etheral Jam funky delivered by one of the best Black Music Band and the Father of Soul, probably the greatest entertainer of the world, ladies and gentlemen mr. Jaaaaameeesss Brrrooooown!
Prince – Sexy Dancer
I love lots of tracks produced this music genius from Minneapolis, but “Sexy Dancer” taken from his second album 1979, I love the funky groove and how Prince play the piano solo on the bridge, it just makes me happy.
Loose Joint – Is It All Over My Face (Larry Levant Remix)
This piece represent for me proper Disco Music Remix, overall produced by Larry Levant! Anytime I heard this I wish I could come back with the time machine only to see how the way they worked in the studio.
Lil’s Louis – Do You Love Me
with the strings pad chord harmony of this Deep House song and the soul voice make my skin goes simply bump! Lot’s of good memories in the clubs of the Adriatic sea Riviera.
Beatles – Tomorrow Never Knows
The best psychedelic rock monotone song I love most became from the Beatles! I just love it as I love the way it was recorded, guitars, drum, bass, voice and tape loops sounds, not audio sampler yet!
Sade – Smooth Operator
Her unique voice timbre plus a wicked song, just beautiful feeling Jamaican Sade!
Goldie – Inner City Life
After I hear this track I decided to release my first Jungle album on Irma records, and Goldie was one of my first inspiration!
Adam F – Circles
This track is just cool, love the Rhodes piano sample, the great production, and the synthesizers melodies scales.
Ronnie Size & Reprazent – New Forms
I almost broken my knee dancing at one of the Roni Size concert in Italy, Style, Music, Innovation, Hip Hop, Acid Jazz electronic…a ll together, wicked mix of elements!
Billy Cobham – Stratus
Since I was a good drummer once, when I hear music my first focus going to the rhythm section, the groove, and I still think that Billy Cobham is one of the best fusion drummer the sound of his drums and his touch are unmistakable, I simply love it!
Yes – Owner Of A Lonely Heart
Oh, the Yes! 80’s Progressive Rock at his best?! Why Not! I love this Trevor Horn’s revolutionary master pieces of sound dynamic audio production, great single, great song!
Donald Fagen – The Nightfly
And again Jazz, Rock, Funk, R&B all melting together on this autobiographical song produced by Steely Dan’s leader Donald Fagen early on 80’s.
Talking Heads – Psycho Killer
There’s not much to do about this song, great music remain big even if is performed by a singer and a guitar, principle we are losing due the massive utilisation of virtual electronic instruments and unfortunately too many facilities make our creativity too lazy!
Kraftwerk – Trans Europe Express
Also a bit of real electro pop after hear all the modern sequences and digital productions just for remind to my self that music could be not perfectly in synch but also payed with hands!
Star Wars – Cantina Band (Movie Soundtrack)
Somethings happen when I’m a bit drunk with my friends at house parties – I put on my Chewbecca’s costume and I dance for them on this blend of stereotypically Middle Eastern music!
The Rolling Stones – Lady Jane
This is one of the fist song of the Stones I discovered and played by my self when I was maybe 5 playing the vinyls of my parents house, great band, great song, still!
The Beatles – Black Bird
A fantastic song, this one makes me cry almost every time I hear it, I really don’t know why, or the hidden subconcious feeling that is linked inside my head… !
