The Incredible Sound of Giles
価格: ¥2,853
The phenomenon of Acid Jazz may have come and gone, but the aesthetic lives on: stylish, funky, and, above all else, "smoove". Talkin' Loud label head, club and radio DJ Gilles Peterson knows the aesthetic well, having released albums from the likes of Incognito, Galliano, Fela Kuti and Roni Size, and on his contribution to the INCredible series, he extends the sound even more. From Funkadelic (whose "Free Your mind and Your Ass Will Follow" kicks off the first disc) to DJ Vadim (whose "Your Revolution" is the penultimate track on disc two), the acid jazz-tag is pushed, pulled, stretched and torn: Peterson uncannily mixes Jimmy Smith into A Tribe Called Quest into Luiz Arruda Perez; Pharoah Sanders into Soul Dhamma; and the Isley Brothers into Minnie Riperton into the Handsome Boy Modeling School (which itself mixes longtime De La Soul producer Prince Paul with Moloko's Roison). Recommended? No question. --Randy Silver
