Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings have developed an international reputation as the #1 group on today’s soul scene. Soul Time! is an exploration of the full range of their dynamic sound through twelve songs handpicked by the Daptone Records gang, each one a precious exclusive.

The needle drops on Genuine Pts. 1 & 2, a supercharged funk arrangement that evokes the late Godfather not only with the spirited syncopation of the Dap-Kings rhythms, but also with the raw power of Jones’ voice. It is performances such as these that have earned her the moniker “the Female James Brown.” Though it has long been one of their best-selling singles, it makes it’s album debut here. Longer and Stronger, written for her 50th birthday, is a deep mid-tempo soul celebration of the strength and determination with which Sharon Jones has earned her long overdue success. It is heard here for the first time, but will undoubtedly join other Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings songs in the canon of great soul music. The theme of empowerment pushes on through “He Said I Can”, an energetic stomper belted over an arrangement reminiscent of the Isley Brothers early-seventies heyday, and “I’m Not Gonna Cry” brings us back to the raw funk intensity of Genuine with a squealing tenor solo and a fiery vocal. Side one wraps with a scorching studio performance of “When I Come Home”, long a highlight of the band’s live show but rearing its head on album here for the first time as well.

“What If We All Stopped Paying Taxes?” kicks the second side off with a bang. A strong anti-war message pours over a revolutionary mid-tempo groove, accentuated by the conga work of the legendary Johnny Griggs of JB’s fame, while Settling In is a greasy rhythm and blues grinder. And who says Christmas can’t be soulful? Jones et al. make it so over their sought after holiday exclusive, “Ain’t No Chimneys in the Projects.” Next is an energetic romp into Motown intensity with “New Shoes”, a walking-out-the door belter that picks up where These Boots Were Made For Walking left off. Without A Trace shows yet another dimension of the band, stretching a dreamy mid-tempo groove down the road to Memphis and back. The record winds up with a deep laid back cover of Shuggie Otis’ psychedelic soul jam “Inspiration Information.” From the first note to the last, Soul Time! confirms this band’s place at the head of the table as the world’s greatest funk and soul showband. Whether you’re a lifetime fan, or just getting turned on, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings’ have yet again made a record that will blow your mind. Get ready world, because It’s Soul Time!

It would be difficult to overstate the importance of the Jones brothers Thad, Hank and Elvin on the world of jazz. Between the three of them, their performances can be heard on literally thousands of recordings, including some of the most legendary sessions ever recorded with some of the greatest artists.

Thad Jones, (although he was technically from nearby Pontiac, MI) on trumpet, Kenny Burrell on guitar, Tommy Flanagan on piano and Billy Mitchell on saxophone.

Limitiert auf 200 Stück ist diese HHV Exclusive Edition des neuen Mighty Mocambos Album. Mocambo und HHV setzen mit ihr die erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit der letzten Jahre fort.
Ein einzigartiger Longplayer der deutschen Funk-Champions The Mighty Mocambos: Scénarios" ist eine wilde Reise durch ikonische Performances, die auf 8-Spur-Bändern aufgenommen wurden, darunter gefeierte Versionen von Breakdance-Lieblingen wie "Axel F." und "Let The Music Play" sowie brandneues Originalmaterial, das speziell für Aufnahmen in ungewöhnlichen Umgebungen komponiert wurde.

Die Hamburger Deep-Funk-Köche sind bekannt für ihre intuitiven Aufnahmen, die die Energie einer Live-Performance einfangen, und mit dieser Platte gehen sie aufs Ganze.

Kurz vor der Pandemie nahm die Gruppe eine Live-Session im legendären Hamburger Plattenladen Groove City und einen improvisierten Auftritt beim Breakdance-Battle JAM PDM! in Potsdam auf. Beide wurden auf 45er Vinyls veröffentlicht, waren schnell ausverkauft und wurden zu Geheimwaffen für DJs. Während die meisten Bands im Jahr 2020 ihre Bühne ins Studio verlegten und eine Fülle von isoliertem, von Lockdown inspiriertem Material produzierten, nahmen die Mighty Mocambos - nie um ein Gegenmittel verlegen - die mobile Version ihres Aufnahmestudios mit auf die Straße.

Da beim Wohltätigkeitskonzert der Pitt Hopkins Music Session kein Publikum zugelassen war, nutzte die Gruppe die Gelegenheit, um meditative Folk-Soul-Instrumentals zu komponieren, die ausschließlich auf Saiteninstrumenten gespielt werden. Sweaty Funk funktioniert nicht per Videostream, aber das Format bot eine willkommene Gelegenheit, etwas ganz anderes zu schaffen. Auch ohne Strom und Schlagzeug sind die cineastischen "Four Two Three" und "Silent Heroes" unverkennbar als Mocambo-Themen zu erkennen.

Wenn man Nina Simones Credo folgt, dass es "die Pflicht eines Künstlers ist, die Zeit widerzuspiegeln", war es klar, dass weitere Konzerte auf der tragbaren Fostex R-8 Bandmaschine der Gruppe festgehalten werden würden, sobald sich die Welt langsam wieder öffnete. Glücklicherweise fielen die Einschränkungen genau auf den Abend, an dem die Band am 11. September 2021 auf der Open-Air-Bühne des Import Export in München auftrat. Der ausgedehnte, vom Afrobeat inspirierte Jam zu J.J. Cales "Carry On" zeigt, wie die Menschen zum ersten Mal nach einem Jahr wieder zusammen feiern und tanzen, und das manische "Munich Psycholympics" setzt alle aufgestauten Energien frei, die in der Vergangenheit geschlummert hatten.

Das leicht kafkaeske "Ghost Walk" wurde während eines Soundchecks für ein Konzert aufgenommen, das schließlich aus Sicherheitsgründen abgesagt wurde und spiegelt einmal mehr die Ungewissheit der damaligen Zeit wider. Im letzten Szenario kehren die Mighty Mocambos in eine volle Halle zurück und spielen "Let The Music Play" vor einem Publikum aus B-Boys und -Girls - ein Beweis für die schiere Kraft der Musik. Als Zugabe gibt es eine Akustikversion von "Where Do We Go From Here?" (ursprünglich mit Lee Fields aufgenommen) schließt das Album und seine rastlose Reise durch ungewöhnliche Aufnahmesituationen ab.

"Scénarios" unterscheidet sich drastisch von anderen Live-Alben, da es nicht versucht, vorhandenes Material von Studioalben zu reproduzieren. Alle Songs wurden speziell für die Live-Aufnahmen geschrieben oder arrangiert, um den DJ-freundlichen Trademark-Sound der Gruppe mit zusätzlichen Vibes und Impulsen des Publikums zu kombinieren. Die meisten von ihnen wurden aufgenommen, während sie zum ersten Mal öffentlich aufgeführt wurden.
