Jamiroquai

Marvin Gaye, "I want you" (Tamla, 1976)

Just beautiful. And very natural in terms of vibe and musicality. "After the Dance" is a perfect ballad.

Забыл прикрепить обложку - красивая!

Fatback, "Hot Box" (Disco Classics, 1980)

So delicious. This is one of the best albums of the early '80s: The musical content is amazingly original; so are the vocals and the horn lines. Check out "Backstrokin."

Herbie Hancock, "Headhunters" (Columbia, 1974)

The keyboard sounds are intense and the musicians are brilliant. This is very spacious funk. "Watermelon Man" and "Chameleon"-- what else can you ask for?

Ramsey Lewis, "Sun Goddess" (Columbia, 1974)

Very influential record by an incredible keyboardist. Earth, Wind and Fire played on a few tracks. I especially like "Hot Dawgit."

Bernard Herrmann, "Taxi Driver" (1976)

I've always been a big fan of funky film music. This is one of my favorites. It's got the best sax solo going.

Patrice Rushen, "Straight from the Heart" (Elektra, 1982)

Her voice, particualarly on "I Was Tired of Being Alone," has amazed me since the early '80s.

Также Джей упоминал среди своих любимцев Кертиса Мэйфилда, Parliament/Funkadelic, Джила Скотта-Херона, Айзека Хейза, Майлза Дэвиса, Куинси Джонса и многих других великих музыкантов. Так что есть повод расширить свою музыкальную коллекцию и послушать старые-новые пластинки!
P.S. Кстати, комментарии Джея по поводу музыки очень интересны. Мужик явно в теме, музыку знает не по наслышке.

Джей Кей объявил о том, что намерен бросить музыку (по крайней мере на время)после расставания со своей фирмой звукозаписи.

The singer says he was frustrated whilst working with SonyBMG on his most recent album, and he’s lost his inspiration.

Speaking to The Mirror, he admitted, "I haven't been happy there for a while. I've had some ups and downs but in the end the downs were just too many. When we talked about me leaving, I jumped at the chance.

The singer – who has sold 27 million albums with Jamiroquai, said he may be back "I might be back if I get my inspiration again, but who knows. I don't know what to do next.”

Jay Kay, who is said to be worth £40 million, said "I'm bored. I don't want to go back on the road. We all need a rest to be honest. I don't need the money or the deal."

Jay Kay says he feels the time is right now to settle down and find himself a woman, "All I'm going to do now is fly my helicopter and look for the right lady to have children with. I feel free and I want to find love.

"My guitarist has just had a baby girl and made me realise how much I want one. I'm not ready to tie the knot though, because I don't want to lose my house."

Когда же он станет хозяином своих слов?

Когда поймёт, что "ain't no business but show-business":-)

2bk:

Тогда пожелаем ему скорее найти хорошую невесту и зачать вместе с ней ребенка.

У него есть, красавица, выше его на голову. Тоже из шоубиза.
Только они всё время дерутся:-)

2bk:

Да, но теперь он плотно займется поисками своей Ms Right. Видимо, эта дылда его не устраивает.
А вообще, он всех колотит на своем пути что ли?

Ну да, всех:-)

Джей Кей выпустил опровержение вчерашней новости. Журналисты все преувеличили оказывается. На самом деле он собирается всего лишь переоборудовать свою студию, чтобы потом приступить к записи нового диска.

And now, time for the truth | 28.02.2007

OK, so there is a story in today’s Mirror implying Jay is quitting the music business: Needless to say they’ve got it completely wrong! You see, in a quick chat with one of the paper’s journalists following his record breaking Gig in the Sky yesterday, Jay mentioned he was taking time out to update his home studio and take some time off before the band go back in to start writing a new album later in the year. He also talked about working on new arrangements of songs so next time they go out on tour they have fresh take on the tracks they play live perhaps incorporating strings or horns. Perhaps they should listen next time! When they gonna learn? On seeing the way his chat was reported today in the Mirror Jay said “As usual they got it wrong for a cheap headline! All I said was that we’re taking a bit of time out to get the studio refurbished and we’ll be back making music in a few months time. There’s no way I’m quitting the music business - now I am out of my long contract with SonyBMG we have so many options open to us we’re just going to take our time and get it right - its just getting interesting!”

Jay Kay -- a.k.a. that dude from Jamiroquai -- readies himself for a special in-flight performance aboard a private jet, a feat that broke the Guinness World Record for the "Highest and Fastest Ever Concert" February 27th. Which is the biggest headline the guy's made since...ever.
