Soulsearching!

Herbie Hancock‘s Sextant was released in 1973 but recorded in 1972, Sextant was Herbie Hancock’s first album on Columbia Records. It was a complex, harmonically and rhythmically challenging musical statement. Hancock was no stranger to electronic music, having used synthesisers extensively during his short time with Warner Bros. Records, but Sextant took his sound to a new level.

The album is very deep and a great journey into the spiritual side of jazz-funk music.

My favourite number on the album is ” Hidden Shadows “.

Gil Scott-Heron: A Legend is Gone

Written by . Filed under News. No comments.

 

Celebrated poet, musician and author Gil Scott-Heron passed away last Friday at the age of 62 as a result of yet unknown causes. Scott-Heron’s death was reportedly confirmed by the legendary spoken word artist’s publisher Jamie Byng via Twitter with the tweet reading,“Just heard the very sad news that my dear friend and one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met, the great Gil Scott-Heron, died today.”

Scott-Heron’s music is pure gold and for almost everyone a big inspiration. R.I.P. to the great Gil Scott-Heron. Your words will live on forever.

Giant Step posted a really beautiful downloadable Gil Scott Heron mix by “Twit One” called “A Salute to Gil Scott Heron“.
