BLACK YAYA - PAINT SMILE ON ME

This mix was originally posted on my main page https://soundcloud.com/monkeypocket but after about a year and a good few listens SC decided to take it down for copyright infringement. 
So I'm reposting it here instead (with 30sec static intro added). 
Hope you dig it...

Cabin Funk 2 - live @ The Cabin

Taken from the great deep jazz album 'Black Renaissance -  Body, Mind & Spirit' from 1976.
The original of this track is an epic 23 minutes long.
I've edited down just two of the solos and rearranged everything for a more compact listen.
Check out the album for the full version, 
**************************************************************
Please ignore the first 45 seconds !... I had to add an intro to get round SC's copyright scan

Black Renaissance (Skalpel Jazz Edit) - with 45sec intro

I was recently asked to play at a good friends significant birthday party.
So I dusted off my decks and loaded my record boxes with some funk.
This is what it sounded like.
All 45's in this 1st hour (2nd part to follow).
Hope you enjoy.

Vinyl only mix of the first seven 7" releases from DJ Soopasoul's new label Soopastole Records.

Superior funk edits aimed at the dancefloor.

Soopastole Funk Edits Mix

This one's not a jazz track, but I can't get it out of my head right now.
Recently re-released on Colemine Records, by The Flying Stars Of Brooklyn NY.
I've extended the intro and far too short break, and added a few tweaks to increase the playing time.
Also had to add some wise words from Herbie Hancock at the beginning to get round the copyright filter.
Hope you enjoy.

My God Has A Telephone (Skalpel Jazz Edit)

Classic latin jazz taken from Bossa Tres' great 1965 album Em Forma !
The original is too short and the arrangement is unusual.
I've always felt it could flow better.
So I've rearranged the whole track and extended it slightly for increased playing time.
Enjoy.

Bossa Tres - Imprevisto (Skalpel Jazz Edit)

Classic afrobeat from the man Fela.
The original from 1972 is a fantastic 12 minutes long and one of my favourite Fela tracks.
I wanted a shorter version to fit in a set though, so I've chopped it down a bit and rearranged a few pieces. 
Enjoy. SJE

Fela Kuti - Trouble Sleep (Skalpel Jazz Edit)

While I was in the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman - in 1947 - I recorded some of my prisoner friends singing and playing harmonica.

Cee-Roo - Work Song

Carey Bell was born in Macon, Mississippi in 1936. As a child, Bell was intrigued by the music of Louis Jordan. Bell wanted a saxophone in order to be like his hero Jordan; however, Bell's family could not afford a saxophone so he had to settle for the harmonica, colloquially known as a "Mississippi saxophone." Soon Bell was attracted by the blues harmonica greats: DeFord Bailey, Big Walter Horton, Marion "Little Walter" Jacobs, and Sonny Boy Williamson I and II. Bell taught himself to play. By the time he was eight, he was quite proficient on the instrument. When he was thirteen, Bell joined his pianist godfather Lovie Lee's blues band.

In September 1956, Lovie Lee convinced Bell to go with him to Chicago. Not long after arriving, Bell went to the Club Zanzibar, where Little Walter was appearing. Bell met Walter and later learned some harp playing from him and his main Chicago teacher, Big Walter Horton.To help further his chances of employment as a musician, Bell learned how to play the electric bass (from Hound Dog Taylor).

In 1969, Delmark Records in Chicago released Bell's debut LP, Carey Bell's Blues Harp. Bell played with Muddy Waters in late 1970 and 1971 and later with Willie Dixon's Chicago Blues All-Stars. In 1972, Bell teamed up with Big Walter in the studio and released Big Walter Horton with Carey Bell for Alligator Records. A year later Bell released a solo project entitled Last Night for ABC Bluesway. Bell continued to play with Dixon as well as with his own groups, and in 1978, Bell was featured on the Grammy-nominated album Living Chicago Blues on Alligator. Also, in the 1970s, Bell appeared on two Bob Riedy Blues Band recordings.
 
During the 1980s Bell continued to record for various labels and to tour. In 1990, Bell teamed up with fellow harpists Junior Wells, James Cotton and Billy Branch to record Harp Attack!. A modern Blues classic, Harp Attack! became one of Alligator Records's best selling albums.
