VA - Soul for Dancers Volumes 1 & 2 [2015-2016] (4 x CDs)

SOUL

VA - Soul for Dancers Volumes 1 & 2 [2015-2016] (4 x CDs)

Released by the UK reissue label Fantastic Voyage, Soul For Dancers, Out On The Floor Firecrackers That Ignited The Northern Soul Boom [2015] and Soul For Dancers 2, Out On The Floor Firecrackers [2016] form one of the most accessible and historically grounded introductions to the early Northern Soul boom. Compiled by Lois Wilson, the sets gather the records that shaped dancefloors long before the term “Northern Soul” existed, focusing on the raw, high‑energy R&B and early soul sides that DJs prized for their drive, immediacy and emotional punch. The first volume opens with Ray Charles’ Tell The Truth and The Isley Brothers’ Respectable , signalling the curators’ intent: this is the sound of dancers discovering firecrackers, not the later, smoother club classics. The sequencing moves through Arthur Alexander, Don Covay, Aretha Franklin, Benny Spellman and Bobby Bland, each track chosen for its rhythm, urgency and floor‑lifting power.

What makes these compilations special is the way they restore the original context. Before Northern Soul became associated with rare Motown‑styled stompers, the scene was built on R&B intensity. Records like Bunker Hill’s Hide And Go Seek (Parts 1 & 2) , Eddie Bo’s Every Dog Got His Day, and Willie Cobbs’ You Don’t Love Me were the lifeblood of early dancers who wanted speed, grit and attitude. The first volume alone shows how broad that foundation was, stretching from New Orleans to Chicago, Detroit and the deep South. The second volume continues the story with the same philosophy, high‑octane R&B, early soul, and regional gems that ignited dancefloors long before collectors began chasing rarities.

Across both sets, the pleasure lies in the sequencing. Familiar names sit beside lesser‑known artists, and each track feels like a spark from a different corner of American rhythm and blues. Together, the two volumes form a single conversation between scenes, cities and decades. They capture the moment when dancers discovered that soul could be fast, fierce and unforgettable, and they preserve the raw energy that made Northern Soul a movement rather than a genre.

A Complete Northern Soul Primer. (B)

Bob Brookmeyer - Mosaic Select 09 [2004] (3 x CDs)

SUNDAY JAZZ

BOB BOOKMYER

Bob Brookmeyer - Mosaic Select 09 [2004] (3 x CDs)

Mosaic’s ninth Select set restores a crucial chapter in the career of Bob Brookmeyer, gathering his small‑group recordings for Pacific Jazz and World Pacific from the mid‑1950s. These sessions, long admired by collectors, show Brookmeyer shaping the valve trombone into an instrument of unusual clarity, using its smooth mechanics to create lines that moved with the ease of a horn and the weight of a brass voice. The set presents the material in chronological order, allowing the listener to hear how Brookmeyer’s writing and ensemble approach developed across a period when West Coast jazz was finding its identity.

The earliest sides reveal Brookmeyer working within tight quartet and quintet settings, often alongside musicians who shared his interest in balance and restraint. His tone is warm, his phrasing deliberate, and his solos unfold with a sense of calm direction. The interplay with players such as Jimmy Giuffre and Bill Holman highlights Brookmeyer’s gift for counterpoint, a skill that would later define his work as an arranger. Even in these early sessions, the writing shows a careful attention to structure, with lines that rise and fall like architectural forms.

The mid‑period recordings broaden the palette. Brookmeyer moves between trombone and piano, shaping ensembles that blend cool‑school lyricism with subtle rhythmic drive. The arrangements are thoughtful, the harmonies clear, and the ensemble passages reveal a composer who understood how to place each voice within a larger frame. His ballad work, often overlooked, emerges as one of the set’s quiet strengths, marked by a gentle authority that never slips into sentimentality.

The final sessions in the collection show Brookmeyer refining his ideas, moving toward the more expansive writing that would define his later decades. Mosaic Select 09 preserves these recordings with care, presenting a portrait of a musician whose intelligence and restraint shaped every ensemble he joined. It stands as a clear record of Brookmeyer’s early voice, lyrical, precise and deeply musical. (B)

Good morning everyone. With the goal of continuing to promote Brazilian music, I've decided it's more appropriate to end the Som do Brasil series and start a new collection, in the same vein as All Time Brazilian Hits, entitled The Sound Of Brasil - Greatest Hits Collection.

This collection stems from the desire to bring together the diverse textures, accents, and feelings that make up our musical culture.

In this new collection, there are no barriers between sunny pop, the energy of Brazilian rock, the cadence of traditional samba, and the minimalist delicacy of bossa nova. Each track has been carefully positioned to guide the ears on a fluid and exciting journey. From contemporary melodies to immortal classics, it's an invitation to slow down, sing along, and discover the songs that are part of Brazilian musical culture.

Sit back, turn up the volume, and enjoy the trip.
