Le waxpo est arrivé chez Groove Store

Excellent numéro, très très funky...
Un petit regret quand même, l'interview de James Brown par Pari est totalement nulle et sans intérêt, autre que de faire un coup de pub à son business... faut dire aussi que le Godfather n'y met pas du sien vu qu'il ne répond pas aux questions...................
Par contre super article sur les Pazant Brothers.

Articles sur Betty Davis, Joao Donato, etc

Rick "Superfreak" James en couverture C'est Muzul qui va être content

In 1971, in the midst of America's conflict in Vietnam, the U.S. Army
held a show-band contest and showcased the two winning bands in a
promotional album. East of Underground, the gritty runner-up, managed
to capture the spirit of America with their sweet-soul covers of Sly
Stone, Curtis Mayfield, and Funkadelic.

The quality of the recording is superior, as is the musicianship: the
falsetto harmonies, the gritty guitar, the devouring drums. But song
choice is just as responsible for the success of the album.

Unlike other obscure-funk reissues and compilations, East of
Underground is immediately familiar, instantly gratifying, and
endlessly playable. And especially poignant today.

Wax Poetics Issue 24, August/September 2007


Mandrill was a beast. As a band, they devoured musical genres—chewed them up and spit out the bones, clacking out monster rhythms with the remains. They stood toe-to-toe with their brethren P-Funk and found solidarity in the changing musical world of the 1970s.

Mandrill
Once upon a time, when bands branded by single-word names and controlled by uncontrolled substances besotted the pop music charts, there lurked a uniquely sonic beast. The shape-shifting creature was a musical omnivore...
Eddie Cheba
Decked out in white-and-green shorts with a matching jersey is Eddie Cheba, a middle-aged man who many would find likable. His easygoing personality and affable charm makes him the kind of guy you'd want to share a drink with and swap stories.

#25 Octobre-Novembre >> spécial photo, 200 pages !!

They're not kidding about "The Photo Issue" tag on the cover -- because this issue of Wax Poetics is filled with a wealth of amazing music photos -- so much so, it almost feels like one of those high-end art books, but at a fraction of the price! The issue seems much larger than before -- almost 200 pages overall -- and it's filled with current and classic photos of New Orleans musicians, Brazilian artists, and a fair bit of hip hoppers from back in the day! But even with all those pics, the Wax Poetics crew have still given us plenty to read here -- as at least a quarter of the magazine still features text -- with articles on funky Miles Davis, Max Roach, Sharon Jones, Numero Group Records, East Bay Funk, The Dragons, Beastie Boys, and others!

J'ai été un peu déçu en ce qui concerne les photos. C'est à 99% des photos Hip-Hop.

Pareil, finalement on trouve déjà de belles photos dans les articles. Là je pensais qu'ils allaient mettre le paquet et y'a comm tu dis beaucoup de photos hip hop qui semblent déjà vues.

Le nouveau qui a un peu tardé à sortir :

featuring Build An Ark, Funky Cuba, Hot 8 Brass Band, Mighty Hannibal, Eddie Harris, Newcleus, Derf Reklaw, Chuck Brown, SOUL et Camp Lo.

Et j'oubliais : ils font des soldes sur les anciens numéros, comme le dollar est un peu bas c'est un bon plan pour compléter sa collec'

Le #28 était consacré à Al Green.
Vous avez remarqué que la mise en page a changé ? Plus de pub, police un peu plus grande, espacement entre les lignes plus importants ? Plus de pub et un peu moins de contenu.

Y'en a un nouveau qui vient de sortir avec Herbie Hancock
Herbie Hancock, Spoonie Gee, Pete Rock, Sam Rivers, Lalo Schifrin, Freddie Fresh, K-Def, Kutiman, Plantlife, Soul Messengers, and MORE !
