Karl Denson - "Because of her beauty" & "Freedom"

Karl Denson... celui-là il faut le suivre à travers les méandres de sa discographie. Le sax sur les trois premiers albums de Lenny Kravitz, c'est lui. En 1994, il forme les Greyboy Allstars avec quelques autres pointures du funk-jazz. En 97 il forme le Karl Denson Tiny's Universe, et pendant tout ce temps-là il participe en invité à bon nombre d'albums et en sort même cinq en solo: "Blackened Red Snapper", "Herbal Turkey Breast", "Chunky Pecan Pie", "Baby Food" et "The D Stands For Diesel" (à éviter pour leur côté pas du tout exceptionnel, limite fadasse, alors que tous les Greyboy Allstars et les KDTU sont terribles!). En 2001 il sort "Dance Lesson #2" chez Blue Note, son premier album solo digne de ce nom, mais encore un peu trop clean.
En 2002 enfin Karl Denson remet les pendules à l'heure et sort son chef d'oeuvre, l'album funk de l'année 2002 tout simplement, "The Bridge" avec une pléiade d'invités (dont Chris Wood -bassiste de Medeski Martin & Wood-, Fareed Haque -Garaj Mahal-, Fred Wesley -trombone des JB's-, Lonnie Liston Smith à l'orgue, Michael Franti (Spearhead) au chant, Mike Dillon (Garage à Trois) aux percus, Robert Walter (Greyboy Allstars, Robert Walter's 20th Congress) au clavinet et au Fender rhodes, Roy Hargrove à la trompette, Saul Williams (voix, bien sûr), Skerik (Critters Buggin, Garage à Trois) au sax baryton...), sur le label indé Relaxed Records. (ouf)
Pas encore convaincus? Ecoutez-donc le single "Because of her beauty", ultra-tight et sexy en diable, puis le "Freedom" avec Michael Franti et Saul Williams, à la fois très JB's et très Parliament, c'est dire!

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
