**SOUL UNLIMITED Radioshow 615**
The focus of this episode is the musical legacy of Quincy Jones, who died on November 3, 2024 at the age of 91. We look back at a small selection of his music, be it releases under his name, production work for other artists or soundtracks for films and TV series. He not only produced the best-selling album of all time (Thriller by Michael Jackson), but also much more …
There are also some very interesting new albums to present. For example, the new album by trumpeter Sefi Zisling: “The Librarian” features very pleasantly relaxed jazz sounds that are easily accessible despite their complex composition and playing style. Wonderful!
Keyboarder and pianist Finn Rees has also produced a remarkable album with “Dawn Is A Melody”. Multi-layered compositions with some very beautiful string arrangements that grow with every listen.
The flautist Ludivine Issambourg is at the start with her brand new album “Above The Laws”, the album title alludes to the flautist Hubert Laws, to whom she has already dedicated an album and who is a source of inspiration for Ludivine Issambourg. There are remarkable guest appearances on some songs by legendary musicians such as Brian Jackson and the currently very successful solo singer Wolfgang Valbrun. All in all, an excellent album!
When it comes to Latin funk, the name Bobby Marin comes up again and again. He was also active as a solo artist, but even more so as a producer for other artists. The Spanish label Vampi Soul has now released “We’ve Got A Groovy Thing Going”, a first-class compilation dedicated to all aspects of Bobby Marin’s work. Highly recommended!
The exquisite event series “We’ll Jazz You” starts its 4th edition on November 16 at the Schlachthaus in Tübingen. The concept of “We’ll Jazz You” is simple and very good: it is a harmonious combination of concert and DJ set. This time it’s a Latin edition: the band Fauzia Maria Beg’s Funky Latin Experience will be playing and Emanuela De Luca will be spinning the right music before, between and after the band’s live sets. The party starts at 8 pm and the band will play from 9 pm. I’m really looking forward to it!
Enjoy listening to this episode!
