Albums I never tire of

6 12 2007

In no particular order:

Jazzanova…Mixing (Sonar Kollektiv) includes an irresistible remix of Jill Scott’s “A Long Walk”, Deyampert’s heavenly “Held Him First” (those horns, oh, those horns) and Bahamadia’s “Uknowhowwedo”. Quality entertainment.
The Kings of Jazz (BBE) compiled by Gilles Peterson & Jazzanova. ’nuff said.
Brownswood Bubblers, Vol. 1 (Brownswood Recordings) in the words of Erykah Badu, this is “grown folks’ music”. Quality soul & R&B, handpicked by Gilles Peterson.
Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite (Sony Entertainment). I must have bought about 15 copies of this cd over the years. The ultimate pre and post nookie chill out music.
Gold Digging as sampled by Kanye West (Demon). Features ‘Home is where the hatred is’, by Gil Scott-Heron and Aretha Franklin at her most fragile in ‘Call Me’.
