Chalk it up to the slick arrangement, jazzy charts, and funky rhythms in the heat of the disco era, but the year after Callier missed the boat with Fire on Ice, he was back with a slicker, shinier record. But, unlike its predecessor, it has no fat in the songwriting department. Leaving Richard Evans' production behind, Callier and Don Mizell enlisted Sonny Burke to produce, arrange, and conduct the large band. Callier handled a lot of the guitar work himself but he did have help from stalwart Larry Wade, his songwriting partner, and Tommy Tedesco. Also in the house was Motown's Randy Dunlap -- courtesy of Smokey Robinson -- and horn heroes Ernie Watts and Fred Wesley. The song selection here is impeccable, from the hard, growling gospel funk of \"Sign of the Times\" to the serpentine love song \"Pyramids of Love\" and a pair of awesome covers: Smokey's \"Still Water (Love)\" and Becker and Fagen's \"Do It Again.\" On the former, Callier reaches deep into his mellifluous tenor bag for all the soul crooning gospel he could muster, to chilling effect. On the latter, the snaky, complex rhythms are accentuated and the horn section soars above the dense, heavily layered pumped up-tempo mix. Callier gets to hang back and enunciate, slipping his down and dirty funky tip on the lyrics. But the greatest surprise on the album is Callier re-recording his classic, \"Occasional Rain.\" With a shimmering, sparse string section accompanying his acoustic guitar, Callier sings half an octave lower than the original as ghostly bells slip through the center of the mix. Every two bars or so another instrument is added, but the gauzy texture of the mix holds throughout. The listener keeps holding her breath waiting for a string section crescendo -- given how polished these proceedings are -- to wash over her, but it never comes, thank God. The set ends with the weakest, but nonetheless very soulful track on the album, \"A Mother's Love.\" It's sentimental, but, given how sincerely Callier delivers his lyrics, it comes off as sincere, not hackneyed. This is a gorgeous set that showcases an entirely different side of Callier than the legends note. He is every bit as fine an R\u0026amp;B singer as he is a folksy soul singer. The man's voice and his sincerity know no limits and this disc is a perfect testament to his genius. »  AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Jazz guitarist, singer\/songwriter Terry Callier enjoyed an unconventional career in music. A Chicago native, he was childhood friends with Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler. He sang in doo wop groups and recorded briefly at Chess Records. Another piece of interesting trivia…he played in a folk duo with David Crosby.  After a brief stint on Cadet Records provided limited success, he was signed to the jazz fusion division at Elektra Records. There, Callier enjoyed a brief renaissance recording Fire On Ice (1977) and Turn You To Love (1978). This earned him an appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival and a charting single (“Sign Of The Times”) on the r \u0026amp; b charts. The remainder of his professional endeavors was sporadic and he never garnered sufficient acclaim, despite his talent,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers Corner Records has released a 180-gram vinyl re-master of Callier’s signature album, Turn You To Love. This is a prime display of polished late 70’s soul\/funk. Side One opens with “Sign Of The Times” (co-written by Callier and fellow guitarist Terry wade). It is a textured combination of studio production with horns, a heavy bottom mix and synthesizers. Callier’s lyrics have social contexts, but not quite the biting gravitas of Gil Scott-Heron or Marvin Gaye. The repeat coda is catchy. “Pyramids Of Love” has a slower tempo with exotic shading. The swirling, expansive sound permeates the easy-going vibe. The title track is more atmospheric with hypnotic string shading. Callier’s silky baritone articulates a spiritual message of love with excellent phrasing. There are subtle touches like mandolin and a well-timed guitar run. A certain highlight is the cover of Steely Dan’s “Do It Again”. Here, Callier’s smoky vocals are a contrast to the reedier vocals of the original. Instrumentally, the players distill the rhythmic essence and meticulous song construction of Becker\/Fagan with excellent percussion and muscular horns and saxophone. it is more jaunty and less moody, and a jagged electric guitar solo precedes a rousing finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide Two kicks off with a breezy pop-oriented arrangement on “Ordinary Joe”. Callier utilizes a higher voice register and some impressive vocalese. Ernie Watts’ tenor saxophone solo is compelling. There is an instrumental shift on “Occasional Rain”. This melancholic introspection is framed against acoustic guitar and violin. The scaled-back aesthetics are catchy and include  subtle jazz inflection. “Still Water (Love)” is a great homage to the concise, melodic compositional skills of Smokey Robinson. The band engages in an evocative sway and the backup singers are terrific. “You And Me (Will Always Be In Love)” is reminiscent of the vaunted Philly sound with its patented hooks and sweet vocal finesse. There is also a nimble guitar solo. The finale, “A Mother’s Love” is straightforward maternal gratitude with an engaging Island-infused glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKudos to Speakers Corner records for giving some relevance to an under-appreciated r \u0026amp; b performer. The overall mix is excellent with quality stereo separation. The layered acoustics are rendered with precision and mellowness. This vinyl pressing is flawless. » Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition, Apr 27, 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen you listen to Terry Callier’s music, it really makes you wonder why it took three decades after the release of his debut album for this singer to be able to live from his music. \"Turn You To Love\", »easily Terry Callier’s most underrated album« (allmusic.com), may in the first moment be somewhat astonishing for its rather disparate mix of numbers. Unlike the works by other soul mates, Callier’s songs demonstrate not how soul should be but rather what soul can be. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis musical language does away with angry attitudes, and cultivates instead deep and sincerely felt sentiment. This is expressed not only in sprightly funk (\"Sign Of The Times\") but also in moderately paced and soulful songs such as \"Pyramids Of Love\". His vocal prowess is shown in a wide variation of numbers – from well rounded to smoky, gauze-like phrases (\"Turn You To Love\"), via a rhythmically freely swinging number with a lengthy text (\"Ordinary Joe\"), and a narrative, meditative atmosphere (\"Occasional Rain\"). In between we find a fine mix of diverse voices (\"You And Me\") and a drop of the cultivated, indestructible groovy sound of the times (\"Still Water\").\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAllmusic : 4 \/ 5 ; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscogs \u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ratingValue\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4.11\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/ 5 ; \u003c\/span\u003eAudiophile Audition : 4 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40405779054743,"sku":"6E-189","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/products\/terry-callier-turn-you-to-love-audiosoundmusic-1.jpg?v=1743198071"},{"product_id":"fred-wesley-a-blow-for-me-a-toot-to-you","title":"Fred Wesley - A Blow For Me, A Toot To You","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFred Wesley - trombone, vocals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaceo Parker - saxophone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Brecker - saxophone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRandy Brecker - trumpet, flugelhorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBootsy Collins - guitar, bass, drums\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatfish Collins - guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarry Shider - guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlen Goins - guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Hampton - guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRick Gardner - trumpet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard \"Kush\" Griffith - trumpet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBernie Worrell - keyboards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrank \"Kash\" Waddy - drums\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJerome Brailey – drums\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 LP, standard sleeve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal analog Master tape : YES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy Press : 180g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord color : black\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed : 33 RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize : 12'’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStereo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStudio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Press : Pallas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel : Speakers Corner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Label : Atlantic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded in 1977 at\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eUnited Sound Systems, Detroit, by Jim Vitti and Hollywood Sound Recorders, Los Angeles, by Jim Callon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduced by George Clinton and Bootsy Collins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginally released in 1977\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReissued in 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp For The Down Stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Blow For Me, A Toot To You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen In Doubt: Vamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetween Two Sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour Play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeace Fugue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Having been in the employ of James Brown, who gave them a first-class education in funk and soul, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker were obvious choices to contribute to George Clinton's P-Funk empire (the Godfather of Soul was a major influence on Clinton). In 1977, Clinton and Bootsy Collins produced A Blow for Me, A Toot for You, the debut album by Fred Wesley \u0026amp; the Horny Horns -- a group that boasted Wesley on trombone, Parker on tenor and alto sax, and Rick Gardner and Richard \"Kush\" Griffith on trumpet. Clinton and Collins did a lot of the writing, and not surprisingly, much of this vinyl LP is pure P-Funk. The album gets off to a gritty start with a remake of Parliament's \"Up for the Down Stroke,\" and the Parliament influence is equally strong on \"Between Two Sheets.\" As for the instrumentals, \"Four Play\" blends funk and jazz, while Wesley's moody \"Peace Fugue\" isn't unlike something you would have heard on a CTI recording in the 1970s. \"Peace Fugue,\" in fact, is the least Clinton-sounding thing on the LP. A Blow for Me, A Toot for You may not be in the same class as Parliament's Mothership Connection, Collins' Ahh...The Name is Bootsy, Baby! or Funkadelic's One Nation Under a Groove, but not many LPs were. Overall, it's a likable record that anyone who loves P-Funk should be aware of.” AllMusic Review by Alex Henderson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“In the world of funk, trombonist Fred Wesley was impactful. In the 1960’s he was an important contributor to “The Godfather Of Soul”, James Brown. He played on many hits, including “Say It Loud-I’m Black, I’m Proud”, “Mother Popcorn” and “Hot Pants” (also, a co-writer). In the 1970’s Wesley became a pivotal member of George Clinton’s various game-changing Parliament-Funkadelic groups. He fronted his own soul-funk outfit, The Horny Horns in the late 70’s. Wesley became an in-demand session player for dozens of soul, jazz, rock and jazz acts like Dr. John, Count Basie, Bootsy Collins, Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, Van Morrison, Maceo Parker, Natalie Cole, Randy Crawford, Earth Wind \u0026amp; Fire and The Red Hot Chili Peppers to name just a few. Wesley is a visiting artist\/academic at Berklee School Of Music and Columbia College Of Chicago. His musical imprint has traversed musical genres and generations of musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers Corner Records has released a 180-gram re-mastered vinyl of  A Blow For Me, A Toot For You. This album features fellow James Brown alumnus Maceo Parker and is produced by funk pioneers George Clinton and Bootsy Collins, who also co-wrote all but one song. This is pure 70’s funk. Side A opens with the festive, groove-laden “Up The Down Stroke”. The horn section is vibrant and the steady pulse never relents. Like many arrangements in this genre, there are repeat lines with unison singing and gospel-infused backup vocals. There is considerable studio polish, but the soulful ambiance is never diluted. The disco-like presentation  is hypnotic and the basic riff structure goes on and on…and it is great! In a polyrhythmic structure, the title track deploys synthesizers, piano, thick bass and stellar horn charts. It reflects a more bluesy approach and Wesley’s trombone solo is visceral and downright nasty. Of course there are hooks everywhere, including dual trumpet and saxophone runs. The ending is unbridled soul-jazz intonation. “When In Doubt: Vamp” has a very muscular jazzy resonance for the first 1:34. Then this unbelievable horn section transitions to-in the-pocket elocution with soaring trumpet and trombone runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B kicks off with an ear-catching vampy bass and effect-laden guitar on “Between Two Sheets”. Wesley is scintillating on trombone and matches the hot-blooded lyrical context of the song. Again, the party atmosphere is represented in the spoken\/shouted vocals and slow-burning saxophone. Perhaps the cut with the longest-running cultural effect  is “Four Play”. This appears to be the most cohesive ensemble play. There is a tight rhythm down beat, and Wesley executes his most extended, nuanced trombone solo. The precision of the horn accents is compelling, and the guitar is very effective. “Four Play” has been remixed and sampled over the years, increasing its continued legacy. The finale, “Peace Fugue” is a distinctive change of pace. Wesley’s tender, deeply expressive lead against a mellow wall of counterpoint harmony (trumpet, keyboards) is rich and atmospheric. While it still beats with a pulse, it transcends the repeat dynamics and brings out the best of the studio players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers Corner Records has done a superior job in re-mastering A Blow For Me, A Toot For You to 180-gram vinyl. The dense, layered mix is smooth and the stereo separation is top-notch. Funk pioneers like Wesley (and obviously Maceo Parker, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins) took music into a new, exciting direction.

Chalk it up to the slick arrangement, jazzy charts, and funky rhythms in the heat of the disco era, but the year after Callier missed the boat with Fire on Ice, he was back with a slicker, shinier record. But, unlike its predecessor, it has no fat in the songwriting department. Leaving Richard Evans' production behind, Callier and Don Mizell enlisted Sonny Burke to produce, arrange, and conduct the large band. Callier handled a lot of the guitar work himself but he did have help from stalwart Larry Wade, his songwriting partner, and Tommy Tedesco. Also in the house was Motown's Randy Dunlap -- courtesy of Smokey Robinson -- and horn heroes Ernie Watts and Fred Wesley. The song selection here is impeccable, from the hard, growling gospel funk of \"Sign of the Times\" to the serpentine love song \"Pyramids of Love\" and a pair of awesome covers: Smokey's \"Still Water (Love)\" and Becker and Fagen's \"Do It Again.\" On the former, Callier reaches deep into his mellifluous tenor bag for all the soul crooning gospel he could muster, to chilling effect. On the latter, the snaky, complex rhythms are accentuated and the horn section soars above the dense, heavily layered pumped up-tempo mix. Callier gets to hang back and enunciate, slipping his down and dirty funky tip on the lyrics. But the greatest surprise on the album is Callier re-recording his classic, \"Occasional Rain.\" With a shimmering, sparse string section accompanying his acoustic guitar, Callier sings half an octave lower than the original as ghostly bells slip through the center of the mix. Every two bars or so another instrument is added, but the gauzy texture of the mix holds throughout. The listener keeps holding her breath waiting for a string section crescendo -- given how polished these proceedings are -- to wash over her, but it never comes, thank God. The set ends with the weakest, but nonetheless very soulful track on the album, \"A Mother's Love.\" It's sentimental, but, given how sincerely Callier delivers his lyrics, it comes off as sincere, not hackneyed. This is a gorgeous set that showcases an entirely different side of Callier than the legends note. He is every bit as fine an R\u0026amp;B singer as he is a folksy soul singer. The man's voice and his sincerity know no limits and this disc is a perfect testament to his genius. »  AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Jazz guitarist, singer\/songwriter Terry Callier enjoyed an unconventional career in music. A Chicago native, he was childhood friends with Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler. He sang in doo wop groups and recorded briefly at Chess Records. Another piece of interesting trivia…he played in a folk duo with David Crosby.  After a brief stint on Cadet Records provided limited success, he was signed to the jazz fusion division at Elektra Records. There, Callier enjoyed a brief renaissance recording Fire On Ice (1977) and Turn You To Love (1978). This earned him an appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival and a charting single (“Sign Of The Times”) on the r \u0026amp; b charts. The remainder of his professional endeavors was sporadic and he never garnered sufficient acclaim, despite his talent,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers Corner Records has released a 180-gram vinyl re-master of Callier’s signature album, Turn You To Love. This is a prime display of polished late 70’s soul\/funk. Side One opens with “Sign Of The Times” (co-written by Callier and fellow guitarist Terry wade). It is a textured combination of studio production with horns, a heavy bottom mix and synthesizers. Callier’s lyrics have social contexts, but not quite the biting gravitas of Gil Scott-Heron or Marvin Gaye. The repeat coda is catchy. “Pyramids Of Love” has a slower tempo with exotic shading. The swirling, expansive sound permeates the easy-going vibe. The title track is more atmospheric with hypnotic string shading. Callier’s silky baritone articulates a spiritual message of love with excellent phrasing. There are subtle touches like mandolin and a well-timed guitar run. A certain highlight is the cover of Steely Dan’s “Do It Again”. Here, Callier’s smoky vocals are a contrast to the reedier vocals of the original. Instrumentally, the players distill the rhythmic essence and meticulous song construction of Becker\/Fagan with excellent percussion and muscular horns and saxophone. it is more jaunty and less moody, and a jagged electric guitar solo precedes a rousing finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide Two kicks off with a breezy pop-oriented arrangement on “Ordinary Joe”. Callier utilizes a higher voice register and some impressive vocalese. Ernie Watts’ tenor saxophone solo is compelling. There is an instrumental shift on “Occasional Rain”. This melancholic introspection is framed against acoustic guitar and violin. The scaled-back aesthetics are catchy and include  subtle jazz inflection. “Still Water (Love)” is a great homage to the concise, melodic compositional skills of Smokey Robinson. The band engages in an evocative sway and the backup singers are terrific. “You And Me (Will Always Be In Love)” is reminiscent of the vaunted Philly sound with its patented hooks and sweet vocal finesse. There is also a nimble guitar solo. The finale, “A Mother’s Love” is straightforward maternal gratitude with an engaging Island-infused glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKudos to Speakers Corner records for giving some relevance to an under-appreciated r \u0026amp; b performer. The overall mix is excellent with quality stereo separation. The layered acoustics are rendered with precision and mellowness. This vinyl pressing is flawless. » Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition, Apr 27, 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen you listen to Terry Callier’s music, it really makes you wonder why it took three decades after the release of his debut album for this singer to be able to live from his music. \"Turn You To Love\", »easily Terry Callier’s most underrated album« (allmusic.com), may in the first moment be somewhat astonishing for its rather disparate mix of numbers.

His vocal prowess is shown in a wide variation of numbers – from well rounded to smoky, gauze-like phrases (\"Turn You To Love\"), via a rhythmically freely swinging number with a lengthy text (\"Ordinary Joe\"), and a narrative, meditative atmosphere (\"Occasional Rain\").

The musical lineup assembled for Mothership Connection is peerless: in addition to keyboard wizard Bernie Worrell; Bootsy Collins, who plays not only bass but also drums and guitar; the guitar trio of Gary Shider, Michael Hampton, and Glen Goins; and the Brecker Brothers (Michael and Randy) on horns; there are former J.B.'s Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker (also on horns), who were the latest additions to the P-Funk stable. Besides the dazzling array of musicians, Mothership Connection boasts a trio of hands-down classics -- \"P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up),\" \"Mothership Connection (Star Child),\" \"Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)\" -- that are among the best to ever arise from the funk era, each sampled and interpolated time and time again by rap producers; in particular, Dr. Dre pays homage to the former two on The Chronic (on \"The Roach\" and \"Let Me Ride,\" respectively). The remaining four songs on Mothership Connection are all great also, if less canonical. Lastly, there's the overlapping outer-space theme, which ties the album together into a loose escapist narrative. There's no better starting point in the enormous P-Funk catalog than Mothership Connection, which, like its trio of classic songs, is undoubtedly among the best of the funk era.\" AllMusic Review by

Brown wrote (or co-wrote), arranged, and produced much of the material, appearing on vocals several times, and the J.B.'s are featured heavily, whether as a unit or with individual members stepping out as solo acts. The highlights are Bobby Byrd's two 1971 R\u0026amp;B hits, \"I Know You Got Soul\" and \"Hot Pants -- I'm Coming, Coming, I'm Coming\"; also featured are Marva Whitney, Lyn Collins, and Fred Wesley, among others.” AllMusic Review by Steve Huey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4 \/ 5 , Discogs : 4.59 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55665847042383,"sku":"SVLP129","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/JamesBrown_sFunkyPeoplePart21.webp?v=1754155997"},{"product_id":"fred-the-new-j-b-s-breakin-bread","title":"Fred \u0026 The New J.B.'s – Breakin' Bread","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRARITY - SEALED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eTrombone, Vocals - Fred Wesley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eBaritone Saxophone, Flute – Ernie Fields Jr.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eBass – Dwayne Dolphin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eDrums – Bruce Cox\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eGuitar – Reginald Ward\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eHarmonica – Martin Real\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eKeyboards – Peter Madsen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eTenor Saxophone – Phillip Whack\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eTrumpet – Gary Winters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eArranged by Fred Wesley (A1-2, A4, B2-4), James Brown (A1, A4, B1-4)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eWritten by Fred Wesley (A1-4, A2 to B4), James Brown (A1-4, B2-4), St. Clair Pinckney (A2), Deidre Brown (B1), Bob Both (B3)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 LP, standard sleeve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal analog Master tape : YES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy Press : 180g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord color : black\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed : 33 RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize : 12'’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStereo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStudio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Press : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eAll Disc Records, Inc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel : People\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Label : People\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eRecorded and mixed at Sound Ideas \"Studio A\", New York City.

The band is still in fine fine form, with none of the fast-funk or proto-disco of some later recordings – and they’re working here in some really tight song formats that almost go back to the early days of the group’s first few singles. The album’s filled with great playing, wonderful grooves, and Fred Wesley’s keen sense of humor, which sparks the whole set with a sense of warmth and creative play that show why the JBs are still the

presents a 1971 James Brown concert performance, which means the set list is given over largely to the singles Brown had released over the previous couple of years, including \"Give It Up or Turnit a Loose,\" \"Super Bad,\" and \"Make It Funky,\" all of them groove tunes with chanted slogans for lyrics, plus a medley of slightly less recent hits and the occasional real oldie, such as \"Try Me.\" Brown concentrates on communicating with his audience, generating female screams, for example, when he comes out against dieting \"'cause the more you got, the more I want.\" On the one hand, this can be considered indulgent -- Brown spends the nearly 13-minute \"Make It Funky\" introducing the band and asking each member where he's from; on the other hand, the aural evidence suggests it went over better in the theater than it does in your living room. That wasn't true of the first Live at the Apollo, though.

The material comprising this disc is split primarily between the J.B.'s, Fred Wesley both with and without the J.B.'s, and one of funk's original divas, Lyn Collins. \"Gimme Some More,\" \"Pass the Peas,\" \"Givin' up Food for Funk (Part 1),\" and \"Hot Pants Road\" are the J.B.'s' offerings, spectacular studio recordings that highlight some of the band's best material for the label -- material which at the time was often passed over in favor of their \"proper\" James Brown recordings. Fred Wesley, meanwhile, weighs in with the CD-only long version of \"Damn Right, I Am Somebody (Parts 1 \u0026amp; 2),\" before joining the J.B.'s on three more tracks, including the epic \"(It's Not the Express) It's the J.B.'s Monaurail (Part 1).\" This particular song, credited to Fred and the New J.B.'s, was recorded during one of the more traumatic times in the James Brown camp and, when compared to the other classics on this CD, doesn't have the same spark or fire. And if anyone questioned the odd spelling in the title, the band's request that if you don't know what a monorail is \"check out Seattle\" clears up any doubt. The Lyn Collins tracks feature a mono version of \"Mama Feelgood\" and the outstanding \"Think (About It),\" a song that would become an iconoclastic symbol of the funk era, heavily sampled by over 40 artists during the 1980s and 1990s. Included, too, is the bonus \"Same Beat (Part 1),\" recorded by Wesley and the J.B.'s on September 7, 1973, in New York.” AllMusic Review by Amy Hanson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4 \/ 5 , Discogs : 4.56 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55784256373071,"sku":"SVLP128","price":95.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/JamesBrown_sFunkyPeople1.webp?v=1755970752"},{"product_id":"fred-wesley-a-blow-for-me-a-toot-to-you-test-pressing-1","title":"Fred Wesley -

In 1977, Clinton and Bootsy Collins produced A Blow for Me, A Toot for You, the debut album by Fred Wesley \u0026amp; the Horny Horns -- a group that boasted Wesley on trombone, Parker on tenor and alto sax, and Rick Gardner and Richard \"Kush\" Griffith on trumpet. Clinton and Collins did a lot of the writing, and not surprisingly, much of this vinyl LP is pure P-Funk. The album gets off to a gritty start with a remake of Parliament's \"Up for the Down Stroke,\" and the Parliament influence is equally strong on \"Between Two Sheets.\" As for the instrumentals, \"Four Play\" blends funk and jazz, while Wesley's moody \"Peace Fugue\" isn't unlike something you would have heard on a CTI recording in the 1970s. \"Peace Fugue,\" in fact, is the least Clinton-sounding thing on the LP. A Blow for Me, A Toot for You may not be in the same class as Parliament's Mothership Connection, Collins' Ahh...The Name is Bootsy, Baby! or Funkadelic's One Nation Under a Groove, but not many LPs were. Overall, it's a likable record that anyone who loves P-Funk should be aware of.” AllMusic Review by Alex Henderson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“In the world of funk, trombonist Fred Wesley was impactful. In the 1960’s he was an important contributor to “The Godfather Of Soul”, James Brown. He played on many hits, including “Say It Loud-I’m Black, I’m Proud”, “Mother Popcorn” and “Hot Pants” (also, a co-writer). In the 1970’s Wesley became a pivotal member of George Clinton’s various game-changing Parliament-Funkadelic groups. He fronted his own soul-funk outfit, The Horny Horns in the late 70’s. Wesley became an in-demand session player for dozens of soul, jazz, rock and jazz acts like Dr. John, Count Basie, Bootsy Collins, Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, Van Morrison, Maceo Parker, Natalie Cole, Randy Crawford, Earth Wind \u0026amp; Fire and The Red Hot Chili Peppers to name just a few. Wesley is a visiting artist\/academic at Berklee School Of Music and Columbia College Of Chicago. His musical imprint has traversed musical genres and generations of musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers Corner Records has released a 180-gram re-mastered vinyl of  A Blow For Me, A Toot For You. This album features fellow James Brown alumnus Maceo Parker and is produced by funk pioneers George Clinton and Bootsy Collins, who also co-wrote all but one song. This is pure 70’s funk. Side A opens with the festive, groove-laden “Up The Down Stroke”. The horn section is vibrant and the steady pulse never relents. Like many arrangements in this genre, there are repeat lines with unison singing and gospel-infused backup vocals. There is considerable studio polish, but the soulful ambiance is never diluted. The disco-like presentation  is hypnotic and the basic riff structure goes on and on…and it is great! In a polyrhythmic structure, the title track deploys synthesizers, piano, thick bass and stellar horn charts. It reflects a more bluesy approach and Wesley’s trombone solo is visceral and downright nasty. Of course there are hooks everywhere, including dual trumpet and saxophone runs. The ending is unbridled soul-jazz intonation. “When In Doubt: Vamp” has a very muscular jazzy resonance for the first 1:34. Then this unbelievable horn section transitions to-in the-pocket elocution with soaring trumpet and trombone runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B kicks off with an ear-catching vampy bass and effect-laden guitar on “Between Two Sheets”. Wesley is scintillating on trombone and matches the hot-blooded lyrical context of the song. Again, the party atmosphere is represented in the spoken\/shouted vocals and slow-burning saxophone. Perhaps the cut with the longest-running cultural effect  is “Four Play”. This appears to be the most cohesive ensemble play. There is a tight rhythm down beat, and Wesley executes his most extended, nuanced trombone solo. The precision of the horn accents is compelling, and the guitar is very effective. “Four Play” has been remixed and sampled over the years, increasing its continued legacy. The finale, “Peace Fugue” is a distinctive change of pace. Wesley’s tender, deeply expressive lead against a mellow wall of counterpoint harmony (trumpet, keyboards) is rich and atmospheric. While it still beats with a pulse, it transcends the repeat dynamics and brings out the best of the studio players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeakers Corner Records has done a superior job in re-mastering A Blow For Me, A Toot For You to 180-gram vinyl. The dense, layered mix is smooth and the stereo separation is top-notch. Funk pioneers like Wesley (and obviously Maceo Parker, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins) took music into a new, exciting direction. This album more than stands the test of tine! ” Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition, October 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4.5 \/ 5 ; Discogs : 5 \/ 5 ;  Audiophile Audition : 4.5 \/ 4\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56844070486351,"sku":"SD18214Test pressing","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Fred_Wesley_-_A_Blow_For_Me_A_Toot_To_You.webp?v=1769031751"},{"product_id":"deee-lite-world-clique-2lp-45rpm-slipcase-box-set-ultra-disc-1step","title":"Deee-Lite -

Add in guest vocals and bass from Bootsy Collins (a pity his hilarious video cameo wasn't represented here), brass from the original Horny Horns duo of Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker, and a smooth mid-song rap from A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip, and the results sounded good then and now. The rest of World Clique offers variations on the song's theme, with Kier's sweet, light vocals and DJs Dimitri and Towa Tei making it work in various ways. It's still a bit surprising that Kier didn't go on to greater fame on her own, because she definitely has not merely the pipes but the personality to carry something on her own -- compared to the dog-whistle vocal calisthenics of someone like Mariah Carey, there's no contest. Check out her work on songs like \"Good Beat\" and the amusing sass of such numbers as \"Try Me on, I'm Very You.\" The two musicians come up with a seamless, adept flow throughout, merrily raiding whatever they so choose in the past for their own purposes. Disco is the heart of it all, with everything from hip-hop breaks to bubble-salsa piano -- even early Depeche Mode! -- taking a bow; hints of the future genre-mashing Towa Tei would make his own trademark are already plentiful. Bootsy and the Horny Horns crop up at other points as well, adding just enough classic funk to blend with the crisper electronic pulses and arrangements.\" AllMusic Review by Ned Raggett\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAllMusic : 4,5 \/ 5 ; Discogs : 4.25 \/ 5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57208201314639,"sku":"MFSL2-609","price":95.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-03-09a21.59.59.png?v=1773090065"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/collections\/Fred_Wesley.png?v=1754833116","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/fred-wesley.oembed","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
