Rock Candy Funk Party “The Grooove³”
Rock Candy Funk Party knows how to do the math : The supergroup consisting of de Tal Bergman (drums), Joe Bonamassa (guitars), Renato Neto (keyboards), Mike Merritt (bass) et Ron De Jesus (guitar) named its third album The Grooove³ -or The Grooove Cubed. Funk/rock to the max with 14 new tracks arguably to superior Groove Is King, released in 2015 ! The band is still expert at blending instrumental funk with other genres (jazz-fusion in “In The Groove”, Blaxploitation mood in “Mr. Space”, the downtempo and dusky “After Hours”) and has a great taste for imaginary soundtracks and spectacular mash-ups when “Funk-o-potamia” and “The Token Ballad” mix Led Zeppelin with prog-rock thanks to keyboardist Renato Neto, a former Prince band member.
In The Grooove³ , Rock Candy Funk Party adds a new ingredient to his groovy gumbo : singer Ty Taylor (Vintage Trouble) shines on the catchy single “Don’t Even Try It” while Mahalia Barnes delivers a great and imaginative update of James Brown’s “I Got the Feelin’”. This third album also ends with a surprising twist with the swinging “Ping Pong”. And how can you not like a band who names its tracks “This Tune Should Run for President” and “Two Guys and Stanley Kubrick Walk into a Jazz Bar” ?

Interview : Ed Motta “A wonderful experience”
Perpetual Gateways, the brazilian musician/songwriter/producer/record collector, steps away from the AOR genre to enter the spiritual jazz territory with the help of Patrice Rushen, Greg Phillinganes and Hubert Laws. A transatlantic interview with Ed Motta.
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Funk★U : Perpetual Gateways, your 15th album, explores the boundaries of jazz and spiritual jazz on several tracks. Why did you chose that particular direction ? Did you want to make a departure from the AOR sounds of your most recent recordings ?
Ed Motta : I had already recorded some jazz-oriented albums like Dwitza & Aystelum. Dwitza with a certain soundtrack influence using harpsichord, symphonic instruments etc. Aystelum has spiritual/free jazz with Broadway musicals I might say a bit like Escalator Over The Hill from Carla Bley.
I compose all the time many different things, soul ballads, jazz waltzes, pop songs, soundtrack inspired pictures searching for a movie and things. After AOR came to me some of these jazz inspired tunes and it’s very natural since I listen jazz everyday with all other kind of music I love.
But definitely I will record something strictly into AOR idiom very soon, I have many new songs for it. 
The Perpetual Gateways casting is quite impressive : How did you manage to enroll Patrice Rushen, Greg Phillinganes and Hubert Laws on this record ? What did they bring to the general sound of the album ?
Who helped me to organize this event was the great musician Kamau Kenyatta. It was such a joy to hear these people I know from record collection playing my composition and arrangements. They are gifted artists so they come full of style, such a wonderful experience to me.
During your last performance in Paris, you have mentioned that this was the first time you wrote all the lyrics on one of your own albums. Is this really the case ? If yes, is this the trickiest part of your job ?
Patrice Rushen and Ed Motta
I co-wrote some things in the past, but I never started any sentence in lyrics in fact I have been all my life kinda less interested in words, the abstract side of music always attracted me more as something really free, something really out of our society scheme.
I started to write as a joke, and find it ok because I was trying to write some different situations than love songs or things like “Don’t You Wanna Dance ?”, all these repetitive subject of popular music.
I might say it’s into storytelling, my dream is to one day have it on a Broadway musical style, like Stephen Sondheim one of my favorite composers ever.
Your vocal performance on this new album is amazing. Did you want to put an extra focus on your vocals on Perpetual Gateways ?
Merci ! I think because there’s less orchestration so the voice has more space to work, and we hear it better. On AOR I recorded two times, doubling vocals like Maurice White & Donald Fagen. But Kamau asked me to work in just one channel to have more soul in my voice. Kamau was very important in this voice sound, it was pretty much his idea.
What’s next for Ed Motta ?
Be rich (laughs) ! hope to keep writing songs, that’s my mission I do it as a special daily oxygen. I’d like to have again a radio program, I had one in São Paulo for two years.
I’d like also to record a solo DVD just myself on piano and guitar playing my hits, and things from the others I love…

Ed Motta -Overblown Overweight
“Groove Revolution”, the ultimate Black Power boxset on CD and Vinyl
Available worldwide on February 9 through Wagram Music, Groove Revolution delivers 60 tracks of mind-blowing jazz, soul & funky music from the 60’s & 70’s. The virtual soundtrack of the Black Power movement selected by the Funk-U Magazine team ! This compilation is available in a 4-CDs boxset and a single LP version (see tracklistings below).
Press release
More than mere music genres, funk and its elder relative soul music are closely related to the political and social aspects of the afro-american history. The 1960 and 70’s Black America musical landscape deeply roots into the cultural zeitgeist of its time, somewhere between politics, fashion, advertising and movies.
Exhilarating like a Martin Luther King speech, hard-hitting like a Malcolm X quote and sexy like a blaxploitation flick starring Pam Grier, this is the soundtrack of the Black Power movement with 60 tracks by Gil Scott-Heron, Cymande, Betty Davis, Fatback, Millie Jackson, Barry White, Darondo, The Brief Encounter, Apple and the Three Oranges, Camille Yarbrough, Little Beaver and more. Say it loud !

The Complete Holland/Dozier/Holland 45′s Collection available May 26
2014 marks the 45th anniversary of Detroit based soul labels Invictus, Hot Wax and Music Merchant – the three record labels established by legendary songwriting team Edward Holland, Jr. Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier a.k.a Holland-Dozier-Holland, following their acrimonious split from Berry Gordy’s Motown empire in 1967.
To celebrate the anniversary, Harmless Records are proud to announce the release of ‘Holland-Dozier-Holland: The Complete 45’s Collection’, a 14 x CD compendium featuring every single 45 release – both A and B sides – from the discographies of the three celebrated labels. With 157 singles and 269 original recordings, the release is the most comprehensive catalogue project ever undertaken on this important part of soul music history.
Released 26th May, Harmless have scoured the world for many of the legendary unreleased singles and a number of extremely rare acetates now residing in private collections including recordings by the Chairmen of the Board, Eloise Laws, Honey Cone, the Barrino Brothers, the Jones Girls and 100 Proof Aged In Soul. Master mixer Tom Moulton also lends a hand with three previously unreleased remixes of Chairmen of the Board’s ‘Give Me Just A Little More Time’ and ‘You’ve Got Me Dangling on a String’ plus Freda Payne’s ‘Unhooked Generation’.
In addition, a 60 page accompanying booklet written by top compiler and DJ, Dean Rudland which include rare artifacts and memorabilia from the label’s archives and an exclusive download card featuring instrumental mixes of the three aforementioned tracks, make ‘Holland-Dozier-Holland: The Complete 45’s Collection’, the definitive assemblage of the Holland-Dozier-Holland catalogue.
During their tenure at Motown from 1962 to 1967, H-D-H were responsible for arranging, writing and producing many of the songs that gave the label its sound and their work fuelled the rise of Motown Records as a dominant musical powerhouse with the 45rpm record the fulcrum of the operation. After leaving the label in 1967 they established the Invictus, Hot Wax and Music Merchant labels which continued the trio’s golden touch with international hits for the likes of Freda Payne, Chairmen of the Board , Honey Cone and Laura Lee among many others.
In 2003, the dynamic trio were honoured as BMI Icons at the 51st BMI Pop Awards. Longtime BMI songwriters, Brian Holland affiliated with the performing rights organization in 1960, followed by Lamont Dozier in 1961 and Eddie Holland in 1963. They have won many BMI Awards, including BMI Pop Awards. The trio were also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and by popular vote, inducted into the Soul Music Hall of Fame in 2012. Holland-Dozier-Holland will be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame this summer 2014.
