the new jimi tenor is an afrobeat thing with former fela kuti bandmembers!

OK my copy is a 99 cent promo but i haven't liked anything since "out of nowhere" and i really like this!
like maybe it's only going to be of interest to people who compulsively buy fusion and afrobeat reissues (hi dere) but i'm enjoying it as much as any jazz-funk thing i've bought since the malone & barnes reissue.

OK so i'm basically the wrong person to ask about this
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 17 February 2008 19:10 (sixteen years ago) link
listening to this and, yes, I hear you.

Some Roy Ayers in the mix too

Hm, I guess that Nicole Willis record must succeed pretty well at being retro since apparently I just heard it sandwiched in between "Walkin' In The Rain With The One" by Love Unlimited and "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart" by the Supremes on the Tone Zone on WBGO and didn't even notice it.

the new jimi tenor on sahko is killer!!!
new, new , new?
i thought i was a tenor completist but i haven't noticed anything new. details please!

Er, read Vahid's posts just above.
― Tuomas, Monday, 18 February 2008 09:26 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah tuomas, i did read them. i'm sure it's probably this but i was hoping it was yet another new record with ex fela band members. thanks anyway.

Hmm, I've never been that interested in JT, but maybe I should check this one out... Besides the Afrobeat folks it features many of Finland's best jazz and soul players.

I've never been that interested in JT
go see him live. he's easily in the top 5 most entertaining live performers i've ever seen. my all time favourite finn!

Is the Jimi Tenor and his Shamans track "Vera" available on any album, or just 7"? I had it on a tape made for me by a Finnish friend ages ago and can't quite remember it but would like to be reunited with it and anything else of similar vintage. All I can find is a Bad Vugum page promising to reissue his out-of-print 92 LP with Vera and b-side as bonus tracks, but the prices I see for the LP on the web suggest it never did get reissued.

oh yeah, sorry twitch. i should have said "newest".
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:39 (sixteen years ago) link
so as a result of this thread and hearing JOYSTONE i got all hot and tenor-curious again and picked up a copy of sahkomies.
SO GOOD

Teräsmies / Voimamies / Travelin Dem Spaceways / Union Ave III
^^ this sequence is fucking incredible, like if portishead got turned on to steve reid circa "nova" instead of a john barry tribute
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 9 March 2008 22:00 (sixteen years ago) link
that got scrambled but you know what i'm saying, right?
actually it's the sequence that runs Matti B / Teräsmies / Voimamies / Travelin Dem Spaceways / Union Ave III that's blowing my mind.
imagine andrea parker jamming with money mark. i'll come up w/ a better comparison later.

I'm not sure what to make of this. The samples I found sounded like he's added some jazzy embellishments on the originals, anyone heard this properly?
― mmmm, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 06:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Not yet, but I'm curious to know what he's done with Répons.
― Jeff W, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 14:02 (fourteen years ago) link
He's also doing one of Strut's Inspiration Information collabs with Tony Allen...

New 'retro deep house' record is lifting my spirits at the moment. It is very retro though!
