diese zusammenstellung ist gewisserma?en der soundtrack zur ausstellung -soul of a nation: art in the the age of black power-, die 2017 sowohl in der londoner tate gallery als auch im new yorker brooklyn museum gezeigt wird. dabei geht die kompilation den einfl?ssen nach, welche die b?rgerrechtsbewegung und der schwarze nationalismus im gefolge von martin luther king, malcolm x und der black panther party gegen ende der sechzigerjahre auf radikale afroamerikanische musikentw?rfe in den usa hatten. zu den von soul jazz pr¤sentierten k?nstlern gehüren ikonen wie gil scott-heron, roy ayers, don cherry, oneness of juju, sarah webster fabio, horace tapscott und phil ranelin. deren werke illustrieren, wie politische themen zur entwicklung einer -conscious black music- f?hrte, in der verschiedene popul¤re afrozentrische stile dieser umbruchszeit kulminierten - die radikale spiritualit¤t john coltranes, der radikale avantgardismus eines sun ra, james-brown-funk, der soul aretha franklins und urbane proto-rap-poesie der metropolen. wie f?r soul jazz typisch kommt das ganze opulent ausgestattet mit umfassenden begleittexten und exklusiven fotografien.

les graciŽs is a collaboration in the truest sense between paris-based sound artist ga‘l segalen and deepblak co-founder afrikan sciences. segalenÕs experiments in electroacoustic sound met the wider world this year via a debut lp for erratum, an arresting work that showcases her ability to merge hypnotic murk ala angus maclise with the hard concrŽte of parmegiani & reibel. segalenÕs ihearu imprint / organisation is a platform for her various doings, including psychogeographical audio works and multi-media collaborations, as well as servicing as a reference point for other contemporary female artists working across various mediums. eric douglas porter aka african sciences has been deconstructing and re-building forms of contemporary black music since the mid-2000Õs, through releases on deepblak (the label he co-runs with aybee) and pan. his musical universe is one of warping cadences and celestial melody, referencing the bold work of percussionists like milford graves & art jenkins, the dissonant chords of motor city techno and stripped back essence of early chicago house matched with broken hard bop sentiments: all tied together with an aesthetic that sits somewhere between sun raÕs omniverse, jean giraud mÏbius and dogon cosmology. together as le graciŽs, segalen and porter make a wholly unclassifiable strain of music that, while containing recognisable elements of each individual s work, also creates a third entity in the process, which can be heard to stunning effect on their forthcoming debut lp Ôlow dosesÕ for firecracker recordings.
