Dig Deep: Danny Schloss – Dreams and Illusions – Verve Forecast (1968)

Danny Schloss – In A Dream
Danny Schloss – Pot Of Gold
Danny Schloss – It’s A Funny Situation
Danny Schloss – Walk Softly

It’s record store day, and while personally I try to celebrate Record Store Day at least three or four times a month, it’s still good to highlight all of the amazing vinyl record stores that supply my addiction, here in LA with Atomic Records, Record Jungle, Bagatelle Records, Mount Analog, Strictly Grooves, the Artform Studio, Amoeba Records and of course the jewel of the Bay Area, Frisco’s Groove Merchant.

For our weekly Dig Deep this is a finding from my first visit to the newest kid on the block in Highland Park, Gimme Gimme Records. Transplanted from NYC, the record features quite a few records that you rarely see on the west coast (particularly in the Jazz section) and is a more than solid addition to any crate diggers journeys through the paths of rhythm here in LA. Aside from a bunch of quality records that I already have or used to own but feel a burning need to return to just yet, I ran across a gorgeous gold label version of Ray Barretto’s classic Acid and also this interesting psych-pop record from Danny Schloss.

Haven’t been able to turn up too much about the clearly very groovy Mr. Schloss. Even though this could very easily count as “sunshine pop” which I almost always connect to California, there’s something very NYC about the instrumentation and the sound of the players (which don’t include too many names I recall, except for Johnny Pacheco who is brought in for some “latin percussion”). Schloss’ vocals fit the times and as much as I’d love to have an instrumental copy of this album, it wouldn’t have the same impact without all the quintessentially late 1960s flower power vibes that come through both the lyrics and the way Schloss sings. There’s a slight tinge of darkness and danger in quite a lot of the music that makes it stand apart from the usual “sunshine pop” fare. I posted an extra song just cause I could make up my mind and I though that the tracks resequenced in this way sounded like they were a suite of music instead of tracks that are in very different places on the original LP.

If you got the time, and you’ve got the money. Go out to local record stores today, let them know how much you love them and how you wouldn’t be able to live without them. Ultimately that’s what record store day is all about…but if you can, as I said earlier, make Record Store Day everyday you can and keep the vinyl alive.

Cheers,

Michael

In Heavy Rotation: Ghostface Killan & Adrian Younge – 12 Reasons To Die – Soul Temple

Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge – The Sure Shot Parts 1 & 2

{If you’re gonna pick this up on Record Store Day and you’re in LA, make sure to drop Adrian Younge’s store the Artform Studio. TONS of DJs will be doing there thing, in addition to the legendary RZA of the Wu Tang!!!}

We’ve gotten little bits of this album for the past month or two but this collaboration is finally out and it’s a marvel. Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge combine for the most cinematic release of 2013. Conceived as a sort of origin story for Ghostface that finds him rising up through the ranks of an Italian crime family until he splits to build his own reputation. The family strikes back after Ghostface starts a romance with the Don’s daughter and they murder him (perhaps the first case of this) by boiling him alive in vinyl acetate. They then press his remains into records as a souvenir but lo and behold his spirit comes back when the needle drops on the records and his revenge begins. Just unbelievably awesome. I’m not sure I could have dreamed up this project any better than it came out in reality. Guaranteed to be in the top 10 of my faves for the year, might even end up at the top of the list.

From the performances in LA at the Mayan, it was clear they were making this an experience and the theatrics of those performances have found their way into the first full video from this album. I don’t know if they’ll film the entire album from start to finish, but boy do I wish they would, especially after the release of the video for “Rise Of The Ghostface Killah,” vintage Giallo + Ghostface + Several LA people as “extras” = Win! I have a feeling every Wu-Tang member will want their own origin story after this.

Be Our Guest: Kenny Dope on KPFK’s Melting Pot!!!

It was truly an honor to have the legendary Kenny Dope stop into KPFK for a quick chat and a long guest DJ session. Kenny Dope is truly a DJ’s DJ, a master at blending and mixing together disparate and diverse styles and sounds and seamlessly shifting from genre to genre and mood to mood. Over the years he’s done production work under his own name as well as collaborating with a host of talented people, perhaps most notably with Louie Vega in Masters At Work and Nuyorican Soul. For my money, Kenny Dope is the best remixer in the game (my two of my top 5 all-time remixes belong to him, the Jackson 5 “It’s Great To Be Here” you hear at the end of the interview below and his reworking of Sharon Jones “Keep On Looking”) and definitely one of the best Djs around. We didn’t get a chance to talk about too much, since he had a plane to catch and we wanted to reserve the majority of time for his Guest DJ set. The loss of a fuller conversation is definitely outweighed by the gain of an amazing 59+ minute mix, complete with a tracklist provided below! With luck we’ll be able to spend more time with Kenny Dope in the future on Melting Pot, but until then…enjoy this to the fullest and the spread the word far and wide!

Breakdown: April 14th on KPFK’s Melting Pot

Relatively short show in terms of what I had to prepare, but I’m so very thankful for that because it meant that we all got the treat of Kenny Dope (Masters At Work, Nuyorican Soul, Kay Dee Records and on and on) taking us on a musical journey. At the start of the show I paid tribute to the recently departed Don Blackman with one of my favorite 1970s tracks “I Love You” recorded with Weldon Irvine for one of his records, but featuring Blackman’s lyrics, music and vocals. During the first couple of sets you’ll also hear some newer tunes from Lady (should be our guests on the next Melting Pot), Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge, local cats the Sure Fire Soul Ensemble and even long awaited music from the Pastels. But the show belongs to Kenny Dope, who was in town DJ-ing at three separate events over the weekend and was very generous with his time before flying back out to NYC. We don’t spend too long talking (hopefully we’ll get a second chance in the near future since I barely asked him any questions at all!) but that was only because we were hoping we’d be able to get a long guest DJ set from the man and he did not disappoint (separate post to follow with the full set in all it’s glory). As I mention at the end of the show, next week will also be special, with an interview/performance from Lady and a tribute to Charles Mingus featuring the complete Black Saint & the Sinner Lady!

Dig Deep: Gas Mask – Their First Album – Tonsil Records (1970)

Gas Mask – If You Just Think Of Me
Gas Mask – The I Ching Thing
Gas Mask – Thank You My Dear

Sometimes as a DJ you can judge a book (or record as it were) by it’s cover. You take a look at the cover of this LP and you know you’re guaranteed to have some interesting music and likely some breaktastic happenings. In that regard New York’s Gas Mask does not disappoint. Gas Mask were a large band in the style of Blood Sweat & Tears, with a slightly jazzier side of things, which I’m going to guess was largely because of the influence of Enrico Rava, an italian jazz trumpeter who’s done some particularly good work over the years on the ECM label as well as being a part of the fascinating aural freakout Escalator Over The Hill from Carla Bley (something that I just realized I’ve never posted on…perhaps I’ll do something big for it’s 45th anniversary in 2016).

As is the case with a lot of BS&T inspired bands, I would have liked Gas Mask a lot better if they were an instrumental group. There’s nothing technically wrong with the lead singers voice or even his lyrics, though neither is particular “right,” but it’s the playing on the album, on instrumentals like “The I Ching Thing” and the best vocal tracks, “If You Just Think Of Me” and “Thank You My Dear” that keep me coming back to this record…though it’s also quite possible this will end up being on Rose Records one day in the near future too.

Cheers,

Michael

In Heavy Rotation: Lady – Lady – Truth & Soul

Lady – Tell The Truth

{Lady will be perfoming on Wednesday April 17th at the Troubadour in West Hollywood along with Lee Fields & the Expressions and LA’s very own Jungle Fire. If all goes well, they’ll also be our guests on next week’s Melting Pot on KPFK!}

In a year that already boasts a half-dozen fantastic retro-soul releases, Truth & Soul’s Lady represents the most interesting and unexpected of the bunch. Composed of the duo Nicole Wray and Terri Walker backed by the Truth & Soul house musicians, Lady certainly sounds at home with labelmate Lee Fields and other retro-soulsters such as Sharon Jones, Nicole Willis. What really stands apart is both the fact of having twin lead vocalists and the way these vocalists sing. In many instances retro-styled bands will attempt to fairly accurately recreate the sounds of 1960s & 1970s. Certanly the backing music from the T&S crew hits on some recongizable singposts of sound, particularly from early 1970s Hi Records, but Wray and Walker’s style, phrasing and attitude don’t quite have that same feel. They sound decidedly a part of contemporary R&B style. For some purists that might be an issue, personally I think it’s their greatest strength as it gives the sound of Lady something that many other bands simply don’t have. There’s a certain edge to the sweetness here and a distinctiveness of sound that makes me very excited to hear what will be coming on down the line from these wonderful ladies.

If you don’t get a chance to catch them in action (or need more convincing), you should check out the very slick video for “Get Ready”:

Dig Deep: Junior Mance – With A Lotta Help From My Friends – Atlantic (1970)

Junior Mance – Thank You Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Agin
Junior Mance – Don’t Cha Hear Me Callin’ To Ya
Junior Mance – Well I’ll Be White Black

Pasadena Record Swap is coming this Sunday, as it does on the first Sunday of each new month. I’ve only been able to go a handful of times, but I always run into something nice when I do. A couple of months ago I ran into this record, which I strangely don’t run into as often as I’d expect that I would. I’m pretty sure the first time I got a copy of this was at Groove Merchant, while buzzing through the “Breaks” section. “Thank You” starts off with massive drums, which should be very familiar to fans of A Tribe Called Quest. This is not a “one-tracker,” with actually quite a few super solid funky tracks, with Mance’s soulful piano, Billy Cobham and Chuck Rainey’s popping rhythm and the often surprisingly psychedelic guitar of Eric Gale. Running into this time around made me realize that “Well I’ll Be White Black” isn’t “We’ll Be White Black” which is what I’ve been thinking that title was for at least a decade. One day I hope I find out why Cobham chose that particular play on words. Definitely seems like there’s a story to tell about that one.

Speaking of stories, I pulled this particular copy while at the record fair at the kind of vendor who I generally avoid. Totally random guy, not likely to ever be there again, with a gang of records flowing out of his van. Literally, just boxes of records hanging out in the dude’s van. Most vendors take the time to organize their albums, alphabetically, by genre, by price, but organized. This was just random records in even more random boxes and the vast majority of them weren’t at all what I was looking for. This album just happened to be sitting at the front of a pile of records. That was enough to draw me in and give it the whole college try, but digging through all the other records didn’t produce anything even close to this. Next time, I’ll probably just cut and run with what I can see. But then again, the thrill of the hunt, the possibility of digging for gold is part of what brings us out to record swaps and record meets. You never know what you may find. In this case the only record I found was one that had been on my mind (got to love it when that happens) and getting reacquainted with this classic was worth the time wasted in that van.

Cheers,

Michael

In Heavy Rotation: Charles Bradley – Victim Of Love – Dunham/Daptone

Charles Bradley – Strictly Reserved For You

2013 is shaping up to be a banner year for retro-styled soul sounds. As you’ll see over the next few weeks there have been a number of brand new dynamite soul releases already this year. Charles Bradley’s 2nd album for Dunham/Daptone, Victim Of Love, builds on the debut and adds some new wrinkles into the “Screaming Eagle Of Soul” repetoire. “Stricly Reserved For You” was our first taste of the new record and it remains to my ears the strongest track.

All vinyl yesterday on the double bill holiday Sunday for Easter and Cesar Chavez Day. Also threw in a birthday song for Gil Scott Heron. The rest is a blur since I never plan out these all-vinyl affairs and a lot of times I’m switching out records just before I have to bring them up live into the mix. For the most part I think things worked out nicely, probably my favorite moment of serendipity was going from Canned Heat to the New York Dolls…hope you enjoy the show too.

Dig Deep: Charlie Palmieri – Electro Duro – Coco (1974)

Charlie Palmieri – Las Negritas De Carnaval
Charlie Palmieri – Taxi Driver
Charlie Palmieri – Swing Y Son

Recently picked up this one and realized I’ve never owned a record from Charlie Palmieri. I generally don’t come around too many of them, but it seems I’ve always favored Eddie. Aside from an intriguing cover, this one seemed like a nice one to cop, especially with a line-up that features Roberto Roena, Tito Puente, Cachao and Cortijo. Palmieri puts the “electro” in Electro Duro by playing what sounds like one of those bizarro organs that’s in tons of 1970s cumbia tracks. It’s not a sound you hear with Salsa Dura, at times it sounds gimmicky, at times it seems to strangely fit, especially on “Swing Y Son” and “Las Negritas De Carnaval” where the sound of that organ cuts through the rhythm. In fact, I kinda wish there had been more of that organ on “The Taxi Driver,” a latin funk track that has B-Boy written all over it, if not for a slightly wonky trumpet part that I find distracting. Worth a listen and worth more than a few spins.

Cheers,

In Heavy Rotation: Jason Molina – Autumn Bird Songs – Graveface

Jason Molina – The Harvest Law

Even though I considered myself a long time fan of Jason Molina’s work, at his passing I was overwhelmed with how much music the man recorded. One of the drawbacks of working at a station that has no working library and no highly organized music department is that you are 100% responsible for tracking down your music. In times where there is a lot going on personally, such as grading which tends to be the thing that takes me far away from my “life” as a DJ, it means that I’m not able to stay up on new releases. At Molina’s passing I was particularly saddened that I hadn’t heard of what would be his final release before death, 2012’s Autumn Bird Songs. The collection wasn’t meant to be a swan song. It was meant to be a compliment to artwork from William Schaff (that’s some of his work on the cover) in a book called From Blacksheep Boys to Bill Collectors. As possibly Molina’s final statement, the EP is a heartbreaker. Hearing the changes in Molina’s voice give you a sense why he felt it was important enough to take a hiatus to work on his health issues. The wounded quality of Molina’s voice gives “The Harvest Law” an even greater weight than it’s cryptic lyrics suggest. There’s a finality present as he counts down “twelve fires,” a process that sounds as if the world is ending, made all the more terrifying through the knowledge that there will be no more from Jason Molina.

Breakdown: March 24th on KPFK’s Melting Pot

Yesterday’s show featured some new music, but it was really all about the tribute to Jason Molina in the second hour. As I’ve mentioned here, I’ve been a big fan of Molina’s music ever since I first heard him in 1997. His music has been a constant companion on many a road trip and more than perhaps any other musician from the “heroic years” of indie-music the songs Molina crafted stick in your mind and find their way deep down. The hour of music I put together isn’t meant to be a full retrospective or an attempt at a comprehensive look at his career. As fitting the deeply personal nature of the man’s music, it’s simply the songs of Molina’s that I loved the most, heavily tilted towards those early years of Songs: Ohia, but also featuring a few songs that I’ve recently discovered in the time since his passing. Currently virtually of Molina’s music is available on the Magnolia Electric Co. website. He will be truly missed…
