Movements Vol. 12 - Various Artists News about a new comp from Tramp records, available now via Cd, Lp and download formats, release notes follow below MOVEMENTS Vol.12 – A bag full of rare rhythm & blues, mod-jazz, and mid 70s funk. Side A (tracks 1-5) starts with rhythm & blues from the 1960s. Most of the tracks were pulled from hopelessly obscure 7" singles. The only names of which some of you might be familiar with are most likely Mat Mathews and Lu Elliott. However, both original 45 RPM singles are pretty hard to find these days, especially in playable condition. Side B (tracks 6-9) is all about deepfunk this time. "Hipper Snapper " is a prime example of that genre. Some say its groove is reminiscent of Charles Wright's "Express Yourself. Agreed! The Villagers are responsible for the first 'aha' moment. Their (previously unreleased!) version of "Funky Broadway" would have certainly astounded even Dyke & The Blazers. Representing Germany on this volume: The Rippers, also called the "Offenburg Beatles"! Back in the USA, John Fogerty has probably never heard of this heavy school-funk cover of "Proud Mary". Drum breaks galore! Side C (tracks 10-13) begins with another German contribution. Saxophonist Gus Brendel delivers a mod-jazz belter of the highest order as do The Hornets. Definitely sure-shots for any dance floors! High time for 'aha' moment #2. Many bands have tried their hands on a cover version of the Nat Adderley jazz classic, incl. vibraphone player Bret Breitinger! The perfect choice to finish this side is Downtown Trio's smooth and groovy cover of Gershwin's "Summertime ". Side D (tracks 14-17) is reserved for proper 1970s funk. ONYX's "Break It Loose " has become a certified Rare Groove classic. Here you can enjoy it for the first time with the blessing of the band! Glenn Doughty and his Baltimore Colts Shake and Bake Band of the 70's is the first musical group consisting of former NFL All-Pro players that Tramp Records has partnered with in its history! Watch out, "Shake and Bake " will be re-released on a good old 45 RPM single, too! Track Listings 1 She Had a Pikanese (Feat. Mat Matthews Quartet) - Johnny April 2 Common Sense - Lu Elliott 3 No Big Thing (Pt. 1 & 2) - Lloyd Fatman 4 Teacher Teach Me - Billy J 5 Scram Gravy Ain't Wavy (Feat. Brigade) - Wayne Johnson 6 Hipper Snapper - 4 Dimensions 7 Funky Broadway - The Villagers 8 Honesty - The Rippers 9 Proud Mary - Exceptional Citizens Band 10 Sax On the Rocks - Gus Brendel 11 Seven Days to Tahiti - The Hornets 12 Jive Samba - Bret Breitinger 13 Summertime - Downtown Trio 14 Break It Loose (Pt. 1) - Onyx 15 Shake and Bake (Pt. 1 & 2) - The Shake and Bake Band 16 Outside Looking In - Lou Jackson 17 Tough Times Blues - Energy Crisis Movements Vol.12 by Various Artists Purchase options https://tramprecords.bandcamp.com/album/movements-vol-12

Paid in Full: The Battle for Black Music News about a new three-part documentary series titled 'Paid in Full: The Battle for Black Music' which premieres 21 September 2024 on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer 'Paid In Full: The Battle for Black Music explores the systemic racism faced by Black artists in the music industry from its inception to the digital streaming age.' Press notes below.... From executive producers Idris and Sabrina Elba, alongside Greg Sanderson of Supercollider and Julie Bristow of Catalyst, for national public broadcasters CBC and BBC, a new three-part documentary series Paid In Full: The Battle for Black Music explores the systemic racism faced by Black artists in the music industry from its inception to the digital streaming age. Despite remarkable success stories, prejudicial practices persist in the machinery of the music industry, with exploitative contracts and copyright arrangements often hindering artists' autonomy and financial reward and coming with a devastating personal cost. The series is narrated in Canada by music icon Jully Black and features interviews with Black titans of the music industry Cadence Weapon, Chaka Khan, George Clinton, Monie Love, Nile Rodgers, Gloria Gaynor, Ice T, Master P, and Smokey Robinson, as well as music experts and industry insiders. The series is narrated in the UK by British actress and playwright Zawe Ashton. In Canada, all episodes of Paid In Full: The Battle for Black Music will be available to stream on CBC Gem beginning Saturday 21 September. In the UK, the first episode will air on BBC Two on Saturday 21 September and will be available to stream as a box set on BBC iPlayer afterwards. The second and third episodes will air on Saturday 28 September. Paid In Full: The Battle for Black Music documents the extent of the historic injustice suffered by the music industry’s Black artists, including the disparity of profits received by them, despite having created the records that have driven the fabric and culture of popular music - from jazz and rock and roll to soul and rap. The first episode delves into the stories of trailblazing artists like Nina Simone and Billie Holiday, who used their music to challenge societal norms, and confronts the harsh realities faced by legends such as Bessie Smith, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry, who struggled for fair compensation despite their groundbreaking contributions. The second episode highlights the emergence of Black-owned labels like Motown, Stax Records, and Def Jam, which shaped the industry while facing their own challenges. Despite celebrating Black culture, these labels sometimes adopted exploitative practices reminiscent of larger, white-owned counterparts.
