Review Big Bad Voodoo Daddy / Big Bad Voodoo Daddy:

Grunge angst got old. We wanted to have fun. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was there, ready with serviceable, pumped-up swing. Their music is straight, uptempo, dance floor jazz. There's nothing particularly original going on, but the sleazy horns and snappy arrangements get the job done. There's nothing campy or tongue-in-cheek either; the music just barrels ahead. like good rock & roll. -Steve Tignor.

Review The Very Best Of Sergio Mendes And Brasil '66 / Sergio Mendes Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66:

Keyboard virtuoso, composer and arranger, Sergio Mendes and his band Brasil 66 have been at the crux of the country's burgeoning music scene for many years. Integrating a multitude of Brazilian forms, including samba and bossa nova, with established jazz orchestration The Very Best Of double album is a definitive guide to the group's disparate musical history. Fruitful collaborations with Herb Alpert and his wife, vocalist Lani Hall, resulted in the recording of the Beatles' "Day Tripper" amongst others. Indeed, Mendes shows a prolific taste for Lennon and McCartney compositions which are scattered here between intuitive reworkings of some Brazilian masterpieces such as Jorge Ben's "Mas Que Nada", Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Triste" and Milton Nascimento's "Empty Faces". With a light, whimsical tone the tracks here provide fine entertainment of the cocktail party variety. -George Lees.

Review Mishaps Happening / Quantic:

With Mishaps Happening-12 new tracks of retro funk, soul and jazz with a contemporary twist-Will Holland is back under his solo moniker of Quantic. The title track is an epic take on café jazz, with Holland playing most of the instruments over a cut-up drum loop—it's fine stuff and a perfect introduction to the multi-talented instrumentalist. Quantic has a remarkable feel for 1970s soul-funk, capturing a lot of the essence that made the JBs sound so distinct. "Don't Joke with a Hungry Man" and "When You're Through", both featuring Spanky Wilson on vocals, sound like undiscovered funk breaks squeezed into an irresistible hip-hop groove. Two songs that step up the pace are "Furthest Moment" (Latin house with a deep tribal rhythm) and "Perception", an amazingly soulful drum & bass romp. Mishaps Happening is very easy to listen to and always very cheerful-a great record by a very talented individual. -David Trueman.
