Michael Eugene Archer (February 11, 1974 – October 14, 2025), better known by his stage name D'Angelo, was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. Widely regarded as a pioneer of the neo-soul movement, Billboard named him one of the greatest R&B artists, while Rolling Stone magazine ranked him as one of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. In 2025, he was inducted into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame.

He first gained attention after co-writing and co-producing the 1994 single "U Will Know" by the R&B supergroup Black Men United. His debut album, Brown Sugar (1995), was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and received widespread acclaim from music critics, who have credited the album with ushering in the neo-soul movement. It featured the title track, the Smokey Robinson cover "Cruisin", and "Lady", which peaked within the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100.

D'Angelo then collaborated with artists such as Angie Stone, Erykah Badu, and Lauryn Hill, with whom he performed on the 1998 song "Nothing Even Matters" from her album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. His next album, Voodoo (2000), debuted at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and received widespread critical acclaim. It was also certified platinum by RIAA. Its third single "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" was released alongside an impactful music video. The song earned him the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, while the album itself won Best R&B Album. Voodoo was listed as 28th on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Afterwards, D'Angelo became increasingly uncomfortable with his growing status as a sex symbol. He then had numerous personal struggles, including depression, drug addiction and alcoholism, which resulted in limited musical output for several years. After over a decade spent mostly out of the public eye, he released his third and final album, Black Messiah (2014). The album debuted in the top five of the U.S. Billboard 200 and topped the year-end Pazz & Jop critics' poll by The Village Voice. It won Best R&B Album at the 58th Grammy Awards, while the single "Really Love" won Best R&B Song and was nominated for Record of the Year. He also contributed the song "Unshaken" to the 2018 video game Red Dead Redemption 2.

During the production of a fourth album, he died in 2025 of pancreatic cancer. (Wikipedia)

My year 2000 was shaped, in many ways, by D’Angelo. That was the year I discovered Voodoo—an album I still return to with pleasure—and the year I had the chance to see him live at the Grand Rex in Paris. It’s an intimate, human‑scale venue, the kind that lets you truly measure an artist’s presence. His performance left me speechless, and it made it easy to compare him to another performer I’ve always admired: Prince.

D’Angelo left us far too soon, and his recent passing only deepens the imprint he has made on the history of soul and R&B. A few aspects of his talent stand out to me.

A singular voice and sensitivity

D’Angelo possessed a supple, warm voice—carefully honed yet never artificial—capable of shifting between the precision of a classic soul singer and the textured grain of a more raw, embodied vocalist. People have rightly described it as “raspy yet smooth.” But beyond timbre, what mattered was how he used it: he didn’t simply sing; he inhabited a deep emotional register—gospel, desire, melancholy, groove. Drawing on his roots in Richmond, Virginia, and on the Black American soul tradition, he infused that heritage with unmistakable modernity.

Remarkable instrumentation and groove

D’Angelo was far more than a singer. He played multiple instruments, composed, arranged, and produced. His music embraced funk, jazz, hip‑hop, and gospel—an audacious hybrid in the mid‑1990s, especially on landmark albums like Brown Sugar (1995) and Voodoo (2000). His tracks breathe: prominent bass lines, organic arrangements, grooves that move with human elasticity, and a masterful use of silence and space. This stood in stark contrast to the more polished, formulaic R&B productions of the era. His sound carried vulnerability, humanity.

Bringing “true” soul into the modern era

At a time when the soul of the ’60s and ’70s was revered but often treated as untouchable, D’Angelo revitalized that lineage by anchoring it in the cultural and sonic context of the 1990s. Blending hip‑hop sensibilities with a contemporary attitude, he became one of the defining pioneers of neo‑soul.

Commitment and conceptual ambition

His album Black Messiah (2014) stands as a testament to his maturity and artistic conviction—not only musically, but thematically. Its political and social resonances show that his contribution wasn’t limited to making great‑sounding music; he made music that mattered.

Minimalism, density, and a breathing groove

His compositions drew their power not from excess but from subtlety: grounded rhythms, slight tempo shifts, controlled silences. These elements give his work an almost mystical aura within soul music and opened a path for many artists who followed.

His legacy, what he leaves behind

Even with only three major studio albums (Brown Sugar, Voodoo, Black Messiah), D’Angelo has left a lasting mark on the musical landscape. His influence is felt in vocal phrasing, in production aesthetics, and in the idea that soul is not a museum piece but a living, evolving territory. He proved that an artist can remain demanding, resist commercial standardization, and still reach a wide audience. His ability to fuse heritage with innovation makes him a bridge between generations.

D’Angelo was an artist of immense stature because he possessed an exceptional voice and sensitivity, a razor‑sharp sense of groove and instrumentation, and above all a renewed vision of soul—deeply respectful of its roots yet fully attuned to the contemporary world. He enriched soul not by reproducing it, but by reinterpreting it, by making it feel alive for his time. (Hervé Guilleminot)

Gene Krupa & Harry James - The Complete Capitol Recordings [1999] (7 x CDs)

JAZZ SUNDAY

GENE KRUPA & HARRY JAMES

Gene Krupa & Harry James - The Complete Capitol Recordings [1999] (7 x CDs)

Issued in 1999 by Mosaic Records as a 7CD limited edition box set, The Complete Capitol Recordings of Gene Krupa & Harry James is one of those archival projects that feels both exhaustive and intimate. Spread across four discs devoted to Krupa and three to James, the set compiles 73 tracks recorded between 1946 and 1958, capturing two bandleaders at pivotal points in their post‑war careers. Mosaic’s meticulous approach ensures that listeners aren’t just hearing swing and big band classics but experiencing them in their original Capitol context.

For Krupa, the recordings highlight his transition from the frenetic energy of the 1930s into a more polished, radio‑friendly swing. Tracks like Indiana and Boogie Blues (both cut in February 1946) showcase his ability to balance rhythmic drive with a lighter touch, while Stompin’ at the Savoy and Begin the Beguine remind us of his knack for reinterpreting standards with fresh vitality. The inclusion of theme fragments such as Star Burst (opening, closing, and bridges) offers a rare glimpse into the mechanics of radio programming, underscoring Krupa’s role not just as a drummer but as a band architect.

Harry James’s discs, meanwhile, emphasize the trumpet virtuoso’s lush tone and command of orchestral swing. His Capitol sides feature a rotating cast of top‑flight players, Red Rodney, Juan Tizol, Conrad Gozzo, among others—who bring depth to arrangements that straddle swing and early modern jazz. James’s recordings from the late 1940s and 1950s reveal a bandleader comfortable in both dancehall and concert settings, with Capitol’s production values lending a sheen that distinguishes these sessions from his earlier Columbia work.

What makes this box set essential is its archival completeness (B)
