Ny plate fra Ed Motta
Behind the Tea Chronicles
After a five year break the “Colossus of Rio” is back with his 14th studio album, taking us on a journey, crossing musical boarders and inviting you to listen not only to groovy soulful songs but also to dive into almost cinematic moods.
With his unparalleled musicianship, Motta’s captivating arrangements and richly layered compositions create an exquisite fusion of genres. Each track on Behind The Tea Chronicles showcases his mastery of various musical styles, incorporating elements of funk, soul, jazz and even Broadway sounds, that of course feature his velvety smooth vocals. Commenting on his latest album, Ed Motta said, “I wanted to create something truly unique with ‘Behind The Tea Chronicles.’ Movies and old TV series have always had a profound impact on my imagination and musicality. I wanted to pay homage to those influences and use them as connecting points to craft an album that is not only musically engaging but also takes listeners on a nostalgic and cinematic journey. It is an ode to the freedom and a commitment to the art.”
Behind The Tea Chronicles features an impressive lineup of renowned musicians, including notable collaborations with both Brazilian and international artists. The famous singers Paulette McWilliams and Philip Ingram can be heard as backup vocals as well as the Czech FILMharmonic Orchestra. Motta’s commitment to artistic excellence is evident throughout the album, as he flawlessly orchestrates a tapestry of sound that will captivate audiences from all walks of life. Another key factor of this special recording is the eye for detail, not only when writing and composing the album but also during the recording, mixing and mastering process. This special treat will be welcomed with open arms by his audiophile audience.
"The warm sound fits very harmoniously with the basic mood of the album, sound luminary Carlos Freitas [...] provided the finishing touches for the mastering of the album." (MINT)

Ny plate med Tomi Malm!
Hi everyone! It’s been three years since my last album and since I got a chance to do an “one night only” gig, I was crazy enough to accept. Also I thought it could be nice to wrap things up with a recording of it. I wasn’t sure that this material could be performed live at all, but at the same time I was curious to find out how these songs would sound in that situation, without studio refinements and tens of different players and singers. This is not easy material to play, that’s for sure! But, I was so lucky to find these fine musicians who were also crazy enough to do this! It’s different, it’s raw and it’s organic. Did I say it was crazy? It will be released 27 October 2023 on streaming platforms.

Jeg ikke har utforsket America noe særlig mer enn de tidlige 70-talls albumene. Fant ut at mange av de senere albumene også falt i min smak, f.eks Alibi fra 1980:
Solgte vel ikke allverden. Men er et velprodusert album, med seg har de bl.a. Steve Lukather, Timothy B. Schmit, J. D. Souther osv. Albumet kom på cd først i 1997. Handlet en digital variant på Qoubuz og den låter veldig bra.
Nytt album fra Page 99 på bandcamp:
The third album from AOR/Yacht Rock artist Page 99 where they explore the growing sounds of early 80s style music production. This is no imitation, but rather an album produced in every way in the model of the great early 80s music studios and producers.

En annen plate med 80-talls innflytelse:
Super db is a 4-piece band from the South of England whose sound is a distinctive mix of pop, disco, funk, rock and jazz is evoking the sound of the early 80s American West Coast. The lineup consists of twin brothers J-M Sutcliffe (Guitars & Vocals) and J-P Sutcliffe (Keyboards, Percussion & Vocals), along with two new members, Jonathan Wills (Drums, Percussion) and Indigo Pearce (Bass). Following their second album “Ecoute Ca”, Super db now release their third album “Downtown”. The album has spawned four singles so far, “Back To Me”, “Downtown City Girl”, “Side By Side” and “Hard Drivin’”.
“Downtown” features all the trademark Super db ingredients, including soulful close harmony vocal stacks, popping bass lines, ripping guitar solos, and jazz infused harmony, all set to the tones of the West Coast Funk and Disco era of the early 1980s. The band also hark back to some of the Latin flavors featured on their previous album, with songs such as ‘Brazil’, and the album’s infectious closer, ‘Maquina’.
“Downtown” is an album that promises to take the listener on a journey back in time when Disco was king and Walkmans were all the rage. Twelve songs all evoke the feel-good vibes of summer nights at the beach.

Nothing Like California
by dark satellite
Dark Satellite are a band from the West Coast... of France.
Two satellites on a collision course. After so many sessions and productions for other artists, it was, of course, bound to happen that Paul Curtiz and Denis Moulin should have their own project. Fans of Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers and the entire yacht Rock scene, this is the single off their upcoming album "The Modern Illusion".

Denne plata tror jeg passer godt i denne tråden.
Reaching out to those who hunger for warm hand-played soulful music in the digital age, BAUN’s genre-bending sound spans jazz, soul, funk, pop and Brazilian music, combining catchy songwriting, life-affirming lyricism and body-moving beats that strive to be equally as rewarding on the couch, in the park or on the dancefloor.
The album’s eleven original songs have been meticulously crafted over years of live performances, refined through captivating performances from Madrid, to Rio, to New York and back home to Copenhagen.
Brought to life in the studio, BAUN is supported by a 25-piece ensemble of musicians and a rich array of instrumentation, including BAUN’s beloved Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, and vintage synths like the Oberheim, Juno60, Prophet V, and Moog.
In BAUN’s own words, ‘Beginnings’ is a journey through my musical life so far. From the analogue world into the digital universe. From the first song I wrote as a piano student at the Conservatory to newer songs about authenticity and presence in a time when screens are stealing much of our attention. From uplifting songs and body-moving beats to more thoughtful moments […] You will hear the sound of twenty-five musicians singing and playing and adding their individual color to the whole.
In addition to his solo work, BAUN has released music with projects Baun On Beatles and Acoustic Lounge, worked as a singer and topliner for the duo Subnesia, arranged and toured for a decade with the vocal jazz ensemble Touché, launched his own septet BAUN Big, and worked alongside some of the finest names in Danish jazz including Mathias Heise, Thomas Fonnesbæk, and Jakob Dinesen to name a few.

Denne gamle gjengen er kanskje ikke nevnt i tråden tidligere?
Fant iallefall ikke noe på et kjapt søk......
De startet litt som et progrock band med pop profil i 1975 men på tredjealbumet i 1980 var de komplett konvertert til softrock AOR og ga ut det Doug Sax delikat produserte/mastrede albumet One Eighty.
Her er noe å se fram til
