I swear one day I’ll post something other than youtube videos here but for the time being, it’s better than nothing. I have actually been toying with redesigning this site while i’m at it, possibly using Aaron’s Green Tea theme.
In the meantime, I had to share this video of song of Nicola Conte’s new album Rituals. My copy finally arrived from Japan the other day and it’s simply a magical album. I’m a big fan of Nicola Conte and love the fact that he’s from Bari where much of my family comes from.
Dwele’s tribute to Dilla is short but I really love the beat here. It’s cool to hear all these classic Dilla tunes combined together. He’s been gone over 3 years now and still making an impact. Also one to keep on the lookout for is the upcoming release Jay Stay Paid.
Ok, so this video is pretty lame, but I absolutely love this song off the new Jazzanova album. That’s Paul Randolph on the vocals whom I first heard on the Isoul8 album (which I also really like).
I’m a big fan of Of All The Things. I can see how it turned off some Jazzanova fans that were looking for a sound more in line with their debut album, In Between. Others will point to the throwback style similar to that of 4Hero’s Play With The Changes. For me, it is a wonderful album, and with guests like Jose James, Ben Westbeech, Leon Ware, and Phonte, I can’t wait to hear what Jazzanova cooks up next.
