Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1

Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1 (1993) more music like this

by Guru

Though it can reasonably be argued that rap grew almost directly out of funk and its particular beat, there are a lot of overlaps with jazz, particularly the bop and post-bop eras: the uninhibited expression, the depiction of urban life, just to name two. Jazz samples have also had a large role in hip-hop, but the idea of rapping over actual live ...

Hard to Earn

Hard to Earn (1994) more music like this

by Gang Starr

Gang Starr came out hard on their 1994 album, Hard to Earn, an album notably different from its two predecessors: Step in the Arena (1991) and Daily Operation (1992). While those two classic albums garnered tremendous praise for their thoughtful lyrics and jazzy beats, Hard to Earn seems much more reactionary, especially its lyrics. Guru opens the ...

The Ownerz

The Ownerz (2003) more music like this

by Gang Starr

Quite a few chart-topping rappers came and went during the five years between Gang Starr's fifth and sixth LPs. So many, in fact, that it's tempting to think that commercial rap had taken a turn for the worse simply because the duo hadn't been back to tend the fires since 1998. Angry and intelligent as they'd ever been, Guru and DJ Premier came ...

Jazzmatazz, Vol. 4: The Hip Hop Jazz Messenger: Back to the Future

Jazzmatazz, Vol. 4: The Hip Hop Jazz Messenger: Back to the Future (2007) more music like this

by Guru

Although Guru's been putting out new editions in his Jazzmatazz series for almost 15 years now, none of the releases has gotten quite the same amount of acclaim as 1993's Vol. 1, which was one of the first examples, and certainly the best, of how actual live jazz could be used and mixed with hip-hop. He collected a wide selection of players and ...

Jazzmatazz, Vol. 2: The New Reality

Jazzmatazz, Vol. 2: The New Reality (1995) more music like this

by Guru

The follow-up to the heavily acclaimed Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1. This album might not have quite as much jazz-rap power as the first volume did, but it's still quite good. Some of the big guns of jazz found their way into the album, including Branford Marsalis (who, of course, had already experimented with urban beats a bit with his Buckshot Lefonque ...

Moment of Truth

Moment of Truth (1998) more music like this

by Gang Starr

By the release of Moment of Truth in the spring of 1998, Gang Starr were rap veterans, having spent nearly ten years as professionals. That elapsed time meant that the album was positioned as something of a comeback, since the duo had been inactive for four years, and it had been even longer since they had a hit. They knew they had to come back ...

Step in the Arena

Step in the Arena (1991) more music like this

by Gang Starr

The album on which DJ Premier and Guru perfected the template that would launch them into underground stardom and a modicum of mainstream success. Guru's deadpan monotone delivery was shockingly different from other early-'90s MCs, many of who were either substituting charisma for substance or engaging in hardcore "realism" without really ...

Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr

Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr (1999) more music like this

by Gang Starr

Considering that the only previous hip-hop hits collection to stretch two full CDs came from 2Pac (and that only after his death), Gang Starr's Full Clip is a surprising release, though it's incredibly welcome. The duo of DJ Premier and Guru has been one of the longest continuous acts on the rap scene, beginning with 1989's No More Mr. Nice Guy ...

Jazzmatazz, Vol. 3: Streetsoul (2000) more music like this

by Guru's Jazzmatazz

Give Keith Elam credit for knowing how to surround himself with great talent. It's a fact that has guided his career from the early days of Gang Starr -- the group he formed with one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, DJ Premier -- to his solo Jazzmatazz albums, recorded with a host of jazz legends including Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, ...

Guru Guru (1973) more music like this

by Guru Guru

The self-titled fourth album from this Krautrock underground group is a fierce display of droning fuzz psychedelia that easily holds its own on the shelf next to the Stooges' Funhouse, Can's Tago Mago, and Kraftwerk's first three albums. While the group remains one of the more obscure footnotes in the German psychedelic underground, their first ...

Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool is undoubtedly the most successful incarnation of the Red Hot albums whose proceeds go toward research in fighting the AIDS virus. Unlike fellow albums in this series, which generally reinterpret the work of several classic songwriters (Gershwin, Porter, Jobim, etc.), Red Hot & Cool is a collection of new material ...

Duniya (1995) more music like this

by Loop Guru

Following the success of singles "Mrbet," "Paradigm Shuffle" and Sus-san-tics, Loop Guru's beat maestro Jamuud and bassist/guitarist Salman Gita crafted this full-length debut of global-minded ambient techno for the North-South label. Dance music, by nature, has a precariously transient quality. As hard as Loop Guru tries on Duniya to achieve ...

Don't Call Us We Call You (1973) more music like this

by Guru Guru

Over four phenomenal extended tracks this 1973 major label debut for the German Krautrock group is an essential ride through space rock territory for fans of early Kraftwerk, Can, and Faust. "Africa Steals the Show," "Round Dance," "200 Clinches," and "Das Zwickmashinchen" are mind-boggling forays into avant-rock territory -- recorded by the ...

Bathtime With Loop Guru (2003) more music like this

by Loop Guru

The British duo of Salman Gita and Jamud (Loop Guru) make their re-entry onto the EFX/dance groove scene with yet another clever outing, as the band's transcendental musings are augmented by world percussion grooves, bird sounds, subliminally rendered spoken word, and more. Highlighted by a layered and textural approach, these folks also ...

Good grief, did we really need this?! What?! A three-disc, 30-year retrospective of live Guru Guru, as it was entering into its (shudder) fourth decade as a going concern. Drummer and spiritual leader Mani Neumeier is teamed with the "classic" Guru Guru lineup of Roland Schaeffer, bassist Peter Kuhmstedt, and guitarist Luigi Archetti at the 1998 ...

Wah Wah (1995) more music like this

by Guru Guru

Wah Wah is a 1995 recording that follows this band's stretch and includes the replacement of guitarist Razem Rübel with Dieter Bornschlegel, who is another rock classicist and a solid role player in a larger team setting. Wah Wah is less predictable, spacier, and a little more unsettling than its predecessor. It also rocks considerably harder. ...

Dance of the Flames [Bonus Track] (2006) more music like this

by Guru Guru

Issued in 1974, Dance of the Flames is Guru Guru's sixth studio album. The sound here is still deeply drenched in psychedelic rock, but it is significant because of the introduction of jazz-rock and funk that never left the band's sound after this album. With the band still a power trio, the new sound can be attributed to the influence of new ...

Despite the liner notes' and the band's claim that in the '90s, Guru Guru still played something they called "Psychedelic Ethno Rock," the Guru Guru of 1993, led by Mani Neumeier resembles the earlier incarnations remotely at best, and Shake Well is the proof. Along with guitarist Luigi Archetti, and bassist Razem Rübel and a pair of guests in ...
