WeGofunk :: WE GO FUNK :: Forum

C'est une idée, je ne sais pas si elle peut se mettre en place mais j'aimerais qu'on liste ici, les morceaux sortis en 2006 qui vous ont marqué.
L'idéal aurait été de commencer dès janvier je sais, on a listé les sorties sur http://www.wegofunk.com/CD-VINYLS_r16.h ... one_pager= si ça peut aider et sur ce forum on en parlé aussi.

Est-ce que ça inclut les rééditions ?

Oui car ce sont des morceaux "redécouverts" et donc joués par les djs mais faudrait le spécifier.

Cortex : I heard a sigh inédit de 79
Amp Fiddler : Funky Monday
Omar : Ghana Emotion
Darondo : Didn't I Réedition

Pas eu le temps de m'occuper de ce TOP 2006

Il y en a un sur Djouls : http://www.djouls.com/index.php/the-best-of-2006-part2

SOUL JAZZ FUNK ALBUMS & SINGLES FOR 2006 PART 1

Running the game today in the new soul/jazz/funk roots "worldwide scene" is Brighton's finest label, Tru Thoughts. Three of their albums from the last 6 months have graced this selection: heavy heavy funk from The Bamboos (from Australia with love), soul-rock with hip hop leanings from The Broken Keys, and jazz café with the Nostalgia 77 Octet. The only other label we've found who could compete with that is New York's Ropeadope, with their gospel (The Campbell Brothers produced by John Medeski), their folk jazz (The Wood Brothers with Chris Wood from Medeski, Martin & Wood), a stunning document from downtown NY (a 3-CD live set from Christian McBride with many guests), and a new Charlie Hunter Trio album. There's nearly no competition against those two giant labels, but Ubiquity Records managed to find their way into this list, excavating supersoul from Darondo, and The Cheebacabra graced us with a second album of psychedelic keys and synths meets West coast jazz/funk lounge. And for something completly different, try the Grant Phabao remix of George Clinton for a few minutes of pure bliss. Dr Funkenstein never went reggae/soul before and he loved it.

Jazz, Funk & Soul were the new thing this year in music. So many good and solid records were released that we opted to select more than 20 references for the last 6 months alone!
Things start kicking with our man of the year (again!), John Medeski. We've already told ya he was "the Jimi Hendrix of keyboards", as a matter of fact we've started telling you this in 1998 in this website... you should start to believe. His collaboration with guitarist Eyal Maoz was released on Tzadik last year but it's still the best Medeski thing we've heard this year, that's why it tops our selection. But the Scotty Hard album with John Medeski and Matthew Ship is a solid contender. Scotty Hard is the sound engineer/producer for Medeski Martin & Wood and many others, up to the Wu-Tang Clan. His new album is as psychedelic as you'd want a Medeski Martin & Wood one to sound like. So, you know what to do: get those two albums fast!!
The Medeski Martin Scofield & Wood album (with John Scofield, you'd have understood) isn't as essential but quite cool nonetheless. The band is finally free of their Blue Note/EMI contract which had them releasing copy-controlled "discs" for too many years (which I don't buy cos you'll never know where it won't play, in your new CD player, in your car...), this is a totally independant release which implies new Medeski stuff coming our way very soon... You'll also find this John Medeski guy featured on the DJ Logic, Baby Loves Jazz, Trey anastasio and Club d'Elf releases this year, all selected on this page. He's just the musician of the year, so please John, keep on keeping on!
Scotty Hard can also be heard producing the DJ Logic album, a masterpiece of afro-funk-hip-hop-jazz. It starts to sound as if all those incredible jazz albums of this year were all recorded by the same bunch of people. Take for example trumpetist Steven Bernstein, who masterminded the Baby Loves Jazz release (grooving for kids and adults), a new Sex Mob album and another one for his Milenial Territory Orchestra.... Or take saxophonist Skerik, who can be heard on Stanton Moore's new opus (the drummer from New Orleans n°1 band Galactic) or with his Syncopated Taint Septet... We just can't get enough of these artists who grace our best-of selection every year and they all know each other. Is it a mafia thing or just an assembly of talent?
Unsurprinsing selections also comes from New Orleans and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, with their inspired cover of the "What's Going On" Marvin Gaye album, and Brighton with the new Spanky Wilson soul thing produced by Quantic (with his full orchestra), jazz cats the Nostalgia 77 Octet (who also launched a new label), or new soul queen Alice Russell. New Orleans, Brighton... hum... one can wonder when will those two groove scenes collide?
On the deep funk front, we've selected the Nicole Willis album, with Finnish funksters The Soul Investigators, an essential purchase finally distributed in France; from the UK The Baker Brothers, who's simply the best intrumental funk trio playing today; and from the US Cadillac Jones, who after a disappointing first album have released here their magnum opus in the form of a blaxploitation soundtrack that will rock your boat.
On a more laidback vibe, you shouldn't miss the new Bonobo album, the guy used to produce some the best downtempo instrumentals from England, he's now recording and touring with a full soul jazz band, with rising voice Bajka on guest vocals. His "Days To Come" album could have gotten to the number one spot if we were sorting our selection with the number of times we played the record... Tommy Guerrero is playing it cool too, with a phat, jazzy and roots "From The Soil To The Soul". He's one of the most underrated artist we've always loved, and he keeps on getting better with each new record! This selection ends with some peaceful New York modern jazz from the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, a keys/bass/drums trio which melts post-rock leanings and ambient electronica thingies into their improvisations.
Now you have a chance to know what jazz sounds like in 2006.

Il me vient en tête ces deux là:

-John Legend / Once Again


(belle pochette)

Avec des compos dignes d'un Stevie (wonder) Withers (bill), cet album est très travaillé, les melodies vocales sont géniales; faut pas sousestimer John, c'est un grand!

- Amy Winehouse / Back to Black




cet album sonne très soul 60's, Amy a une voix....
