VA - Soul Source Verve Sessions (2003) {Verve Japan}

VA - Soul Source Verve Sessions (2003) {Verve Japan}
EAC Rip | FLAC with CUE and log | scans | 476 mb
MP3 CBR 320kbps | RAR | 174 mb
Genre: jazz, bossa nova, jazz funk, vocal jazz

Soul Source is normally affiliated with compilations filled with remixes and edits but this jazz comp are the straightforward songs by the original artists, compiled this way for your enjoyment. All of them are from the Verve Records vaults. Soul Source: Verve Sessions is a Japan-only release.

A series of CD's in Japan has lead to an awareness of the Soul Source production team. But peel behind the disguise and one will discover that Soul Source consists of one man, Kenichi Yanai. Through a series of compilations, he has shined the spotlight on a number of dance, soul, and jazz artists from Japan. Kenichi has also released a series of remix albums, including exclusive remixes for Jackson 5 and Earth Wind & Fire. In collaboration with the Verve Remixed compilation series, Soul Source put together a compilation CD of some of his favorite tracks on Verve. Thievery Corporation released a compilation selecting their favorite songs from the Verve vaults, and this one is a revealing look at his own collection, including a few not-so-obvious choices. Even if you're unfamiliar with the work of Soul Source or have no idea who he is, this stands out as an excellent, untypical compilation of Verve's bright spots, both old and new. Again, while Soul Source is known for his remixes and re-interpretations, these songs are in their original form. No remixes, no megamixes and segueways.

01. Stan Getz - Communication '72
02. Charles Mingus - Hora Decubitus
03. Jimmy Smith - Slow Down Sagg

Hank Crawford - Wildflower (1973) {1987 CBS Associated}

Hank Crawford - Wildflower (1973) {1987 CBS Associated}
EAC Rip | FLAC with CUE and log | scans | 190 mb
MP3 CBR 320kbps | RAR | 90 mb
Genre: jazz, jazz soul, jazz funk

Wildflower is the 1973 album by jazz musician Hank Crawford. This was released by the CBS Associated label in 1987, which was Columbia Records' digital output for some releases before they had a proper reissue department. This was also the first digital release for this album. The CD was manufactured in Japan.

Hank Crawford's '60s sides for Atlantic rightfully established him among the preeminent soul-jazz saxophonists. For pure phrasing and feel, Crawford was in a class by himself. When Creed Taylor kicked off CTI in 1970, he brought Crawford on board immediately. This date from 1973 – one of eight cut between 1971 and 1978 – is Crawford's strongest for the label and one of the better records of his career, though jazz purists would never agree. Produced and arranged by Bob James with a smoking cast that includes Joe Beck, Idris Muhammad, Richard Tee, and Bob Cranshaw, as well as a brass section of crack New York studio cats, Wildflower is the album Crawford had been trying to make since 1971. Recorded in two days, the band provides a slick, right, colorful platform for Crawford's melodic improvisation that is rooted in the art of the phrase. One long note held on "Mr. Blues" or a series of carefully articulated verbal feelings, such as on "Corazon," may not step out of the groove, but make it both a deeper blue and as wide as the human heart's complexity. On the title cut, with a vocal chorus in the background, Crawford turns a pop melody into a torrent of raw emotionalism and savvy groove-conscious glory. James' charts are big but never obtrusive; they point in one direction only, to bring that huge soul sound out of Crawford's alto – check out the way the melody line breaks down into the solo in Stevie Wonder's "You've Got It Bad Girl," or the backbeat arpeggio exercises in "Good Morning Heartache." This record is so hot the only soul-jazz it can be compared to in both its contemporary form and funky feel are Grover Washington's Feels So Good and Mister Magic issues. In other words, Crawford's Wildflower is indispensable as a shining example of '70s groove jazz at its best.
