Comment:
I thought this might be a good way to explore the evolution of black music across the continents & islands - from Africa to Memphis to Jamaica to London to Bristol etc etc ...Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Motown, Gospel, Ska, Reggae, Rap, R'n'B, Northern Soul, Trip Hop...etc etc! Enjoy.Feedback:
A couple of serious favorites here! The Curtis Mayfield and Aretha cuts in particular. Exo-lint, comme typique!
Dinah, Prof, John Lee, Arethea, Gladys, The Tops, Koko, Miles, Curtis-you hit me where I live! Superb mix D!!! Can't wait to see more.
Your inclusion of BotCool-era Miles is interesting in this context, as I'd say it embraces more 'European' musical constructs than it does 'African/American' ones, and was as much a Gil Evans/Gerry Mulligan/John Lewis project as it was a Miles Davis one. I guess one could extrapolate its inclusion here in a few different ways. Miles would eschew his 40s + 50s stuff for most of the rest of his career, often embracing 'black' trends vs. 'cool' or European ones. I think there's a telling social statement in that. Was BotCool an evolution in 'black' music or an act of assimilation? Is it a coincidence an anagram for "Gil Evans" is "Svengali," someone who helped morph Miles' - for spell, at any rate - music into something distinctly European, sucking the jazz right out of it? My tongue is only partially in my cheek in saying that. My boring two cents, for what it's worth. Awesome, awesome mix nonetheless.
Although my comments refer to an evolution of black music, the title is An Anthology Of Black Artists but I hear what u say.
Great Dom - covers a lot of ground!
This looks wonderful!
That Curtis Mayfield track owns my life.
Lots of great stuff here. Great job in following an idea. I think I'd quarrel with the concept that there is an evolutionary process here. Currents & influences, ebbs & flows, but not any "progress" or movement toward a higher order. But good & great songs.
cover a lot is a understatement in worldclass, most of it are fantastic stuff
This is, as always, absolutely amazing. And I like the way you've conceptualized it. I love that Prof Longhair cut.
great idea, and a difficult one to pursue, but you have done extremely well, once again, Dom.
Wonderful & as McDonald12 says "a hard one to pursue"
Super-cool. This would be almost impossible to pull off, but you did it.
Nice.
Superb!
Great selections!
Fabulous. I love that N*E*R*D song, and not just because Pharell is sexy.
There's a great range of artists and styles here. No argument.
Excellent choices for an excellent theme. You continue to impress, Dom.
Pretty cool, Dom.
