Minnie Riperton "Inside My Love" (Marco Corona Cuts)

A personal favorite.  Made some changes to make it more "DJ-friendly"

The Main Ingredient - Summer Breeze (Johanna's spring-is-coming edit)

The second single to be taken from a much anticipated second volume of ‘É Soul Cultura’, curated by Luke Unabomber. The compilation follows on from where Vol.1 left off, at times venturing into the deeper, spiritual, soulful, downtempo, experimental aspects of his tastes. New, old, rare and under-discovered music from around the world, woven together in Luke’s unique style.

Showing Luke’s sweeter side, this beautiful slice of super-rare soul has been on many collector’s wants list for years. It is a sublime cover of Minnie Riperton’s ‘Baby, This Love I Have’ and was recorded very shortly after Minnie’s passing. Avis gathered together some of the finest musicians in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, including the late great bass player Rick Rigsby, and put her unique stamp on a soul classic. 

The double vinyl LP comes in a gatefold sleeve, Obi strip, and includes a limited edition fanzine written by Luke. Also available on CD and digital.

Released on 09th June / available to pre-order now.

"NAUTILUS / TOM'S DINER b/w LADY DAY AND JOHN COLTRANE" (7inch Vinyl)
LABEL: PALETTE SOUNDS
CAT NO: PSLP02



今や押しも押されぬ日本が誇るトラックメーカー、CradleことTomoki Seto氏がプロデュースを手がけるニュープロジェクト、ブラックミュージック古典～ヒップホップ世代を飲み込む新鋭のレアグルーヴ・バンド、その名もNautilusがデビュー！

バンド名の由来にもなったBob Jamesによる"Nautilus"、さらにRoy Ayersによる"We Live In Brooklyn Baby"をカップリングした先行7インチ第1弾に続き、第2弾となる本盤は、時代/ジャンルを超越した永遠の名曲 Suzannne Vegaの"Tom's Diner"と、Gil Scott-Heronの"Lady Day And John Coltrane"をカップリング。前者はソウルバンド The Marddiesのボーカリストとしても知られるMizuki Kamataを、後者は東京とニューヨークを行き来きするSSW、Kei Owadaをフィーチャーした渾身のカバー・ソング！

[NAUTILUS PROFILE]
2014年ドラマーである佐々木俊之(ds)をリーダーとして、梅沢茂樹(bs)、竹内大輔(key)と共に結成され、ジャズからファンク、ディスコ、ソウル、ヒップホップまで消化した多様な音楽性を武器とした現代版レアグルーヴ体現バンド。Bob Jamesの楽曲"Nautilus"から着想を得て、実在した潜水艦Nautilusとのイメージを織り交ぜて、70年代のレアグルーブサウンドを追求しつつ、深海にいざなうようなディープな世界観を作り上げている。オリジナルの楽曲は全て佐々木の作曲によるもので、ドラマーならではリズムの仕掛けなどがふんだんに盛り込まれつつ、クリス・デイヴやマーク・ジュリアナに代表されるようなテクニカルなスキルも披露されており、さらには楽曲のメロディセンスやコード感などドラム以外の才能も発揮している。多ジャンルで活躍している佐々木のしなやかかつ力強いドラミングと、梅沢のブラックミュージック仕込みの太く絡み付くようなベースライン、竹内の持つクラシックのテイストが混ざり合い、ありそうでなかった、他に類を見ない極上のグルーヴを生み出すサウンドに仕上がっている。

I Want To Do Something Freaky To You

He's been described as 'Marianne Faithfull meets Sade!' His smokey mocha-flavoured vocal style evokes memories of a bygone era, of intimate dimly-lit '40s and '50s jazz clubs and yet has the kind of timeless quality associated with the likes of Nina Simone, his primary personal and musical mentor.

David Nathan  began his lifelong passion for music with the great recordings of the late Simone, ‘The High Priestess Of Soul.’  As a teenager growing up in London in the mid-‘60s, he started the first UK ‘appreciation society’ (or fan club) for this legendary artist, who at different junctures encouraged him to pursue his own love for singing and performing.
 
Born in London, David has loved music for as long as he can remember, listening to artists like Alma Cogan, Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney as a child before discovering the music of Dionne Warwick, Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin as a teenager.

David worked in record shops, wrote for different fan magazines and spent years working behind the scenes; he recorded demos, wrote songs and occasionally performed during a stay in the U.S. in cities like New York and Los Angeles.

With the further direct encouragement of such illustrious artists as Roberta Flack and Bonnie Raitt, David began recording and performing (primarily in the U.S.)  in 2003. His 2003 CD debut, “Reinvention” includes a number of pop and jazz classics such as The Beatles’ “Blackbird,” Billie Holiday’s “You Don’t Know What Love Is” and a Brazilian-styled version of “Cry Me A River” (featuring The Sweet Inspirations).  The 2007 follow-up, “Wistful
Elegance” includes a poignant version of “Wild Is The Wind” and a diversity of tunes written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David, Thom Bell & Linda Creed and Rod Temperton among others; and features special guests Najee, Kenny Lattimore and Will Downing, with Roberta Flack penning the liner notes for the CD. 

Returning to London in 2009, David began working in 2010 on his first CD "I Used To Rule The World..." (inspired by the Coldplay hit "Viva La Vida"), out now on i-Tunes and Amazon, with David's readings of "Sitting In The Park" (the 1964 soul classic, reinvented with a ska-beat), The Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody," Elton John's "Your Song" and more, all given David's soulful vocal stamp. 

With great artists like Marlena Shaw and Jean Carne among his supporters, David's aim is to appeal to the generations that love the music of Sade, Norah Jones, Mose Allison and of course, Nina Simone.  He has created an exciting and soulful jazz/blues show that includes his own recent recordings as well as a personal musical salute to Nina Simone that includes his sharing some of his memories of spending time with this amazing artist
 
The Simone salute currently includes “Wild Is The Wind,” “Feeling Good,” “To Love Somebody” and “Willow Weep For Me” and the original composition, “Strange Mood” (which inspired Simone’s positive comments on his musical skills) along with songs drawn from the three CDs recorded by David.   
 
With his trio (keyboards, bass and sax), David offers a musically-satisfying performance, ideal for contemporary music and jazz festivals as well as club and concert venues and his goals include performing at The Royal Albert Hall in London, The Olympia Theatre in Paris, The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and Carnegie Hall in New York.
