jimi tenor: the salvation of mankind?

we'll always have he memories. i have a theory that i will like anything that jimi tenor does. he is still thesalvation of mankind. except he didnt save us, but he did his best.

we'll akways have intervision. and i think organism is real good too! i think i liked that one on kitty yo! is that the one you all hate?! i dont know what im talking about!

Has anyone heard Jimi Tenor And His Shamans?

what a bold claim! more plz.

organism is closer to intervision that the other albums (which I havent heard), less bombastic maybe, symphonic.

I always loved this phrase. It makes me imagine a totalitarian approach to music criticism that I think would be quite seductive. "This record is treacherous lounge fusion, and its existence is a strict state secret! Anyone who buys it is a non-person and will surely disappear!"

i could do with a russian style every-album-on-1-mp3-cd for jimi....i kinda lost track bout the time he ended up on kitty yo

OMG

the new jimi tenor on sahko is killer!!!

I keep seeing his wife's rekkid on Dusty Groove, but haven't gone for it yet.

more info?

Nicole Willis and the Soul Investigators. A retro soul record.

please vahid don't hurt me with these raised expectations

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

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.

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".

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

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.

the first one sounded better

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?

Not yet, but I'm curious to know what he's done with Répons.

He's also doing one of Strut's Inspiration Information collabs with Tony Allen...

<3 jimi

man did this dude fall off or am i actually missing something.

i hope the latter is true

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

Sorry, Cola & Jimmu's Enigmatic..

yeah this cola & jimmu project is excellent
