13.01.2022 An excellent album of funky drumbreaks cut by a drummer who's a legend among funk fans, but who hardly ever gets mentioned in history books of jazz. Les was a... little known LA player, but he had a monster approach to the kit and most of the few albums he cut are very in demand for fans of a good funky drum break. This one's a stellar session that mixes together straight funk with some strong choppy fusion numbers and it was issued on the tiny Dobre label, which came out with some excellent obscure sides during the 70s. Raul De Souza's on trombone, Milcho Leview plays piano, and Robby Robinson plays plenty of nice electric keyboards. Includes the break-heavy tracks "Moondial" and "Funk It!", the jazz dance cut "Canned Heat Suite", the choppy funky "Bacchanal", and the great groover "Kaballa". 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc. #vinyl #microgroovesvinyl #lesdemerle #transfusion #drums #jazz #drumbreaks #fusion #funk See more

05.01.2022 Micro Grooves is on the move! Thanks to Bret for allowing me to carry on the Micro Grooves name and business. Sure the stock is a rare find (but you already know that) but Bret is passing on his vast vinyl knowledge to me! I’m pretty excited about it too. I’m a lover of music particularly jazz, funk, soul & blues. I play piano/keys, but dabble on drums, guitar & bass too. I’m in my final year of high school and have my own secret vinyl contacts in Chicago as well as Bret’...s he’s passed on to me. My parents are supporting me in this new business venture wholeheartedly (they reckon it’s about time I earned a few bucks of my own). And what a bonus that it’s dealing in something I love. I do have exams to deal with, but as soon as Micro Grooves has settled into its new home, I’ll be opening the doors for the first time. Stay tuned! Jackson @ Dianella, Western Australia See more

02.01.2022 AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek Miles Away is the second offering from Madlib's Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble. The first, Summer Suite, w...as only available in limited quantities in Japan. The title here is an obvious nod to Miles Davis, but it’s only a nod. Each of these ten tracks is dedicated to a jazz artist -- but Miles isn’t among them. The sources are less obvious except to hardcore fans of '70s jazz as it met soul, funk, African rhythms, and Middle Eastern and Indo-Asian sounds. The heavy percussion and drum mantra that opens the set on Derf" (for Derf Reklaw) is the first of many shape-shifting identities this music brings to the listener. It evolves within a minute into a soulful, mantra-like spiritual jazz tome for flute, piano, and imaginative drum and percussion interplay. Waltz for Woody" (for Woody Shaw) uses the late trumpeter’s sense of modally oriented post-bop as a kickoff with rumbling basses, shimmering cymbals and snares, the sounds of steel drums, spacious darkly tinged pianos, and plenty of reverb -- without once using a trumpet. Shades of Phil" (for Phil Ranelin) employs layers of spaced-out synths, groove-laden basslines, repetitive piano, and popping hand percussion and drums to create a music that echoes the spirit of music that Ranelin’s Tribe made in Detroit during the ‘70s. Mystic Voyage" (for Roy Ayers) is one of the most appealing tracks here, as bell and vibraphone timbres and plucked strings from a variety of sources -- including harp -- are nocturnal, funky, and cosmic. The most experimental-sounding piece is the glorious Tones for Larry Young, which embodies -- via the layering of organ sounds and spacious distortion -- the spirit of his work with both Lifetime and his groundbreaking late work on Blue Note. The set closes with its finest moment, The Trane and the Pharoah" (for John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders), a souled-out spiritual jazz number that moves the basic changes from A Love Supreme up an octave and adds loads of marimbas, flutes, organs, synths, and electric bass to a hypnotic groove that constantly evolves. #vinyl #milesaway #thelastelectroacousticspacejazzandpercussionensemble See more
