About this product
The pieces recorded live in the Viennese Porgy & Bess and the Kassel Theaterstübchen span Valle's repertoire of the past 25 years. There is his 'anthem' of his early years, InchLevitandoInch, which is an exuberant virtuoso piece as well as a tender one, a free-floating flight over the keys that shows the overflowing creativity of this man. He implements his ideas of Cuban music in the 21st century in InchMamita Yo Te QuieroInch. An equally fantastic alloy of Cuban tumbao and pianistic brilliance is InchLittle, Irreplaceable ThingsInch, an homage to the little things in life, a flower, a smile - with an ostinato at the end that sounds a lot like the James Bond soundtrack theme.Ramón Valle shows his thoughtful side in InchFree At LastInch, a ballad created from a studio improvisation for his ACT album Memorias, free in it's expression and free in it's modal sound. And he reveals his love for songs with his adaptation of Leonard Cohen's InchHallelujahInch. InchA song has to touch my soulInch, Ramón Valle emphasized, who has already covered Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. InchAnd with this song by Leonard Cohen, I began to hear stories behind the lyrics, and I developed a contrasting bass line as a second story. In this way, I managed to master the challenge of interpreting this melody without singing.Inch His touching version speaks for itself.And then finally there are the very special, intimate trademarks of Ramón Valles, who dedicates compositions to the members of his large family. With InchTe ExtrañoInch, he pays tribute to his mother in a very moving but far from over-sentimental way. Overwhelmed by the pain of her death, his grief dissolved into this wonderfully warm-hearted melody, a chachacha son, with which he remembers dancing with her to celebrate their reunion during his visits to Cuba. InchCinco HermanasInch - with an intro that captures colors from Debu

Eight years passes like nothing for Birds of Maya! Their fourth album kicks out the Philly jams with every bit as much fervor as their earlier releases - in fact, as it was recorded in 2014, it IS one of their earlier releases.

Next up in Mr Bongo's Groove Merchant Records reissue series, we present the only solo album saxophonist Ramon Morris recorded as a bandleader. Having cut his teeth playing with the iconic band Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers and working with other jazz greats, including Reuben Wilson, Shirley Scott, Rashied Ali Quintet, and Woody Shaw, 1973 saw Ramon take the step into solo territory. The resulting album Sweet Sister Funk became a certified classic and a landmark showcase of the cherished '70s jazz-funk sound, later sampled by the likes of DJ Premier, The Alchemist and DJ Shadow.Originally released on Sonny Lester's iconic Groove Merchant record tag and produced by Lester himself, Sweet Sister Funk is a jazz-funk masterclass. It features a slick line-up including Cecil Bridgewater on trumpet, Mickey Roker on drums, and Albert Dailey on electric piano. Rich and beautiful, the seven songs ebb and flow in energy, fusing jazz funk and soul jazz with style and swagger. There are bags of groove with Ramon and Cecil trading off on sax and trumpet in an effortless conversation throughout the LP, supplemented by brilliant solos from the rest of the players. A gold mine of sampling material, the album includes a sublime cover version of The Stylistics' much-loved 'People Make The World Go Round', which was sampled by DJ Shadow on Blackalicious's 'Swan Lake' in 1994. Elsewhere, the percussion and bass intro of the opening track 'First Come, First Serve' is a sampler's delight - a deep, heavy groove with a fine saxophone workout by Ramon. Head to 'Don't Ask Me' and you'll find the swinging horn intro that formed the basis of 'You Came Up' by Big Pun featuring Noreaga from 1998, whilst 'Wijinia' has echoes of '70s indie jazz by labels such as Strata East & Black Jazz. Here at Mr Bongo, we are proud to be delving into the vaults of Groove Merchant Records once again, reissuing th

Standing firm between acoustic tradition and electronica, they are founded on a unique blend of melodic ostinato-laced piano and unwavering drums. Drawing on their array of musical interests, Fil and Tom take influence from rock, electronica, ambient, breakbeat and soundtracks for film and artists such as Squarepusher, Radiohead and Clark all hot-housed in their unique studio set- up, a shed at the bottom of Tom's garden.
