Making All Things New (Waterman/Espe) - Recorded by Aaron Espe

http://www.mrbongo.com/product/alive-cd-1106

A live recording of Terry Callier at the Jazz Cafe, Camden, London, from the year 2000 that captures some of the spirit of Terry's incredible live performance.

This is the first of two live albums that Terry has recorded for Mr Bongo. The second, entitled Welcome Home was released in March 2008 and features different tracks.

Please note that the LP and CD versions have different track lists due to the length of the recording/physcial media.

The fifth of eight installments of the all-Brazilian compilation series

Vanessa De Mata - Nao Me Deixe Só

Mr Bongo proudly announces the first single from Don Glori’s forthcoming third album ‘Paper Can’t Wrap Fire’. The cornerstone of the LP, 'Brown Eyes' is a joyous soul-jazz groover featuring the captivating lead male vocals of fellow Melbourne/Naarm local, ML Hall. On first listen you’d be mistaken for thinking this is a straight-up love song. Yet underneath its uplifting soulful flavours and sultry vocals, lies a deeper topic at play.

‘Brown Eyes’ discusses the comfort of seeking and finding your community when you had previously felt like an outsider. As Don mentions, “This song is about feeling 'othered' in a predominantly white society like Australia. The first verse is about being tokenised/tolerated and having to stake your claim to a place at the table. The second verse and hook are about finding people who have a shared history with you and feeling at ease around them. When you meet another person like that, and you don’t have to explain all the above, it’s a comforting feeling.” 

“It was the first song I wrote start to finish for the record, starting with the opening riff on the piano. I was taking a lot of cues from Jordan Rakei’s cover of Donald Byrd’s ‘Wind Parade’, as well as throwing in a nod to The Doobie Brothers inserting hooks where they shouldn’t be.”

The result is an empowering hit of jazz-injected soul, nourished by a funk flavour. A track that ebbs and flows between sections of sweeping tenderness and head-nodding, bassline-heavy grooves. Crisp swung drums, masterful keys and those honeyed vocals from Hall, backed with lush harmonies from Ruby Dargaville, Isadora Lauritz, and Bianca Kyriacou, combine to send you cruising out across the horizon.

Hidden Conversations is the follow up to Terry’s Lookin’ Out album. Following Terry’s performance at the 2008 Meltdown Festival (curated by Massive Attack), he once again teamed up with the legendary British trio for this album.

On Hidden Conversations Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja co-wrote Wings and John Lee Hooker and exclusively wrote Live With Me. The combination of Massive Attack’s haunting production and Terry’s beautiful, emotive vocals is quite simply, stunning.

All the other songs on Hidden Conversations were exclusively written by Terry himself with a new electronic edge that complements Terry’s style perfectly and offers a new direction that will appeal to fans both old and new. Hidden Conversations is as innovative and compelling as ever.

Terry Callier - Live With Me

New tribute to this uplifting summer song

Gilberto Gil - Toda Menina Baiana (Geoff Clinton Dub Vocal Edit)

What exactly is Boogie? Is it a genre, an era, a style? Colours, clothes, textures are all part of its make up. For me, Boogie is the "top shelf" music of the 80's. Anything from this era that brings along Moog synths, vocoders, DX7s, or triggered Oberheim drum sounds, is Boogie!

Brasil has a huge archive of underground dance-floor heat. Different styles of music ranging from Macumba to Samba, MPB to Pop, Electro to early Hip Hop, were all stung by this Brasilian "Boogie Bug", cleverly orchestrated by geniuses of the style; Robson Jorge, Lincoln Olivetti, Junior Mendes, Mister Sam, Sergio Sá, to name a few, were the backbone of uncountable projects by big names of Brasil´s pop and underground music scene during the 80´s.

This compilation brings together a bunch of non-obvious "compactos" (33 RPM 7" singles), most of them, promos, which never saw the light of record store shelves, but instead sat for years in the dead-vaults of radio stations or ended up in sebos, flea markets, church basements to junk yards.

I´m excited to put together this eclectic selection inspired by the finest in brasilian 80's music. Even after so many years, Brasil's  most obscure boogie gem is yet to be found on a long diggin' session thru thousands of records full of weird looking haircuts, somewhere near São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro. 
This project is dedicated to all the "Boogie Heads" doing what they do best, keep searching!
