TUOMO - My Own Private Sunday (2010)

New album from Tuomo, the 3rd one titled My Own Private Sunday!! The album is a bit more personal than the previous ones as it's filled with songs he was too embarrased to include on My Thing or Reaches Out For You. Tuomo also streches his multi-intrumentalist's abilities on this one. Apart from a few songs, he's played most of the instruments himself. He also takes one step away from his funkiest outfit and digs deeper into singer-songwriter world with some Beatles flavours. Great return!!

Tracklisting:

1. Back To Day One
2. Help Me Thru These Difficult Times
3. Where It Counts
4. The Torturee's Mantra
5. Hold Me (Till The Morning)
6. Prepare To Die

HUBA - Arriving (2009)

Blue-Eyed Soul from Huba, a sweet Scandinavian act with a classic sort of groove!! Huba's headed by vocalist Tuomas Kaila, a singer with the sort of charm we love in Georgie Fame, particularly during his early 70s years, a style that's steeped in influences from older Blues and Soul, and is never too afraid to show them, but also doesn't ever go for a strict sort of copy either. Kaila's balance here is great, confident and charming, yet never over the top, and always with an easygoing groove that fits in perfectly with the live Funk instrumentation of the group, which has some especially great organ lines that warm up the sound nicely. Production is great too, with some older Memphis touches, mixed in with a slight dose of UK mod too, but never in a rocking way!!

Tracklisting:

1. Vagabond Jive
2. The Kind Of Music
3. The Raven
4. No Need No Ornaments
5. Refugee

THE LAST 2009 POST!!

CR0-MAGNON - Cro-Magnon (2006) / Great Triangle (2007) / III (2008) / Mellow Out & Acoustic (2008) / The Remixes (2008) / 4U (2009)

keyboard-heavy grooves from Japan's Cro-Magnon, a real back-to-basics combo that works in a solidly 70s funky Jazz mode!! The core trio features keyboards along with bass and drums, and most numbers have a snapping simplicity that you'd be hard-pressed to find this nicely in a real session from the 70s, the kind of stripped-down grooves that always show up on one or two tracks on an older CTI or Kudu set!! There are some nice collabo´s in some albums, like the master Roy Ayers, Soil & Pimp Sessions, Steve Spacek and more!! Fantastic sounding!!
