Bassic Stanley Clarke...

De Amerikaanse jazz-bassist Stanley Clarke (Philadelphia, 1951) vertrekt al heel jong naar New York om als muzikant zijn brood te verdienen. In de jazzscene daar is hij direct een sensatie...

Voordat Clarke zich specialiseerde in de basgitaar, bespeelde hij de accordeon, de viool en de cello. Clarke is briljant op zowel de akoestische als elektrische bas. Hoewel hij naast de jazz zich ook in veel andere muziekkringen (r&b, pop en klassiek) heeft bewogen, heeft Clarke toch kans gezien met de beste jazzlegendes op aarde te spelen.

Vanaf midden jaren zeventig funkte hij bij George Duke in de band, met wie hij diverse succesplaten maakte. Clarke is een complete musicus, die naast zijn gloedvolle optredens ook veelvuldig componeert. Een grote liefde is het schrijven en uitvoeren van grote orkestrale werken voor films en series (bekendste: Boys N the Hood, What's Love Got to Do With It en Romeo Must Die).

Zijn naam werd groot toen hij in Chick Corea's 'Return to Forever' terecht kwam, waar zijn basgeluid een belangrijke motor was in het rockgeori‘nteerde fusion kwartet.

In 1980 bracht hij het legendarische album 'Rocks, Pebbles & Sand' uit, dat spettert van de funk-gitaarrifs en solo's.

Chaka Khan is Every Woman, the best

Yvette Marie Stevens werd geboren in Chicago. Na te hebben gezongen in verschillende groepen werd ze in 1972 aangenomen als leadzangeres van de groep 'Rufus'.
Twee jaar later braken ze door met een nummer dat geschreven werd door Stevie Wonder, 'Tell me something good'. Chaka Khan speelde in deze band een steeds prominentere rol en in 1977 nam ze het heft in eigen hand.

Dat ze serieus werd genomen blijkt wel uit het feit dat het album dat voor haar grote doorbraak zou zorgen werd volgeschreven door het echtpaar Ashford en Simpson en geproduceerd door de man die Michael Jackson tot ongekende hoogte bracht: Quincy Jones.
Elke hit die ze daarna scoorde komt uit hetzelfde genre: disco. Maar haar hart lag in een andere muziekstroming, ze hield zich liever bezig met jazz.
Het grote publiek kent haar van de hits 'I'm every woman', 'Ain't nobody' en 'This is my Night'.

Superguy Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield (3-6-1942, Chicago, Illinois - 26-12-1999, Roswell, Georgia) heeft een hoofdrol gespeeld in de soul-muziek van de afgelopen 40 jaar en heeft ontelbare musici beïnvloed.

Tussen 1961 en 1971, schreef hij een reeks van invloedrijke singles voor zijn band, inclusief Gypsy Woman (1961), It's All Right (1963), People Get Ready (1965), We're A Winner (1968) en Choice Of Colours (1969).
Curtis schreef liefdesliedjes, maar ook protestliederen over sociale en politieke gelijkheid. Zijn voortdurende ondersteuning aan andere artiesten als componist, producent of sessiegitarist, steeg uit boven zijn reputatie van zanger.
In 1970 begon hij zijn solocarrière met (Don't Worry) If There's A Hell Below We're All Going To Go, een protestlied. Het jaar daarop schreef Mayfield zijn grootste succes, Move On Up.
De erkenning ging door met Freddie's Dead en het thema van Superfly (1972), een 'blaxploitation'- film. Zowel de singles als het album behaalden goud, wat hem inspireerde tot meer uitstapjes in de film.
In 1981 gaat hij naar het Boardwalk-label, waarvoor hij Honesty opnam, zijn sterkste album sinds de vroege zeventiger jaren.

In 1990 werd hij verlamd vanaf de nek, doordat een deel van zijn equipment bovenop hem viel tijdens een concert. De effecten hiervan waren zowel persoonlijk als professioneel dramatisch, maar niet verwoestend voor zijn muzikale carrière.
In 1993 gaf Warner Brothers A Tribute To Curtis Mayfield uit, en een jaar later gaf Charly Records het grootste deel van Mayfield's 70 albums op CD uit evenals verschillende compilaties. In 1996 verzamelde Rhino Records de beste verzameling in een 3-CD box set.
Aan het einde van 1996 werd er een nieuw album uitgegeven (New World Order), wat uitmuntende kritieken kreeg. Tijdens de opnamen moest Mayfield op zijn buik liggen, ondersteund door een harnas, om zodoende meer kracht aan zijn stem te geven.

Op tweede kerstdag 1999 stierf Curtis in zijn slaap in het North Fulton Regional Hospital in Roswell, Georgia, in de V.S

1, 2, 3: Bob James' touchdown

De muziek van Bob James (1939) is altijd van erg grote invloed geweest op de pop/jazz en crossover jazz.
hij werd zelf altijd sterk beïnvloed door pop en filmmuziek. James heeft vaak samengewerkt met R&B-achtige solo-artiesten (vooral met Grover Washington, Jr.), waardor de popmuziek vaak impulsen kreeg vanuit de jazzhoek.
Hij is zijn carriere echter gestart vanuit een heel ander perspectief. In 1962 nam Bob James een bop-achtige trio set op voor Mercury, en drie jaar later een album voor ESP. Dat was nogal avant-garde, met electronische tapes en vol effekten.
Na zijn periode met Sarah Vaughan (1965-1968) werd hij studiomuzikant, en in 1973 werd hij arrangeur en producer voor CTI.
In 1974 leverde James zijn eerste soloproject af, met hem als frontman.

later maakte hij goedverkopende albums voor zijn eigen Tappan Zee label, maar ook voor Columbia en Warner Bros. Daarbij waren talloze samenwerking met o.a. Earl Klugh, David Sanborn en FourPlay...
En hij is bovendien de meest gesampelde jazz-artiest in de hiphopscene. De CDs van Guru zitten er vol van...
