SOUL UNLIMITED Radioshow 638

The musical spectrum of this episode ranges from jazz to soul, funk, and soul jazz to cinematic and, in some cases, somewhat rock-oriented and experimental grooves in unusual constellations. So it could be exciting.
To kick things off, there’s something new from Brian Jackson, who has reinterpreted a number of old classics together with Masters At Work. Sven Wunder is also on board and announces his new album with a first teaser. I was also eagerly awaiting the two 7“ EPs from the ”Reserva Especial“ series on the Spanish label Soul 4 Real. The first installment also features previously unreleased 7″ tracks by Terry Callier.
The first album feature is Omar’s new album “Brighter The Days.” On his ninth album, the UK soul legend has also invited numerous guests who add extra sparkle to Omar’s specific soul sound. It’s a strong album that is convincing across the board.
Next up is a teaser for the new album from Say She She. The song “Cut & Rewind” sounds very promising, and I’m already looking forward to the new album, which will be released in October.
The new album from the Mighty Mocambos was recorded at the legendary MPS Studios in Villingen-Schwenningen. State-of-the-art technology from the 1960s guarantees a perfect analog sound. The MPS Studios, with their famous recording history and special magic, inspired the band to refine their break-heavy funk sound and expand it with forays into soul jazz, psychedelic, and cinematic grooves. With “A Higher Frequency,” the Mighty Mocambos have recorded their best album yet, and it’s the record of the week!
The Budos Band was with Daptone Records for a long time, but some time ago Thomas Brenneck founded a new label, Diamond West, and since then the Budos Band, which he co-founded, has been releasing on the new label. The new album, simply titled “VII,” is the first in five years, and the band has consistently developed its instrumental sound. The musicians are best known from numerous bands active in the funk and soul scene, but with the Budos Band they are venturing into unfamiliar territory: rich brass sections, powerful organ lines, mighty drums, and lots of percussion meet guitars with lots of fuzz and a sound sometimes inspired by Black Sabbath. Magnificent!
Cinematic widescreen sound is a trademark of the Italian band Calibro 35. With their new album “Exploration,” they have returned to the Record Kicks label. They celebrate this with a brilliant album that also includes some exciting cover versions.
Bobby Rausch is not a person, but a band. A trio with an unusual line-up: drums, bass clarinet, and baritone saxophone. This is complemented by electronic effects and fused on their second album “Stones & Stars” into an exciting hybrid of jazz and electronic club sounds that has never been heard before. So be sure to check out this album!
Enjoy listening to this episode!
