In 1995 he recorded his first album Power Forward for Motown which was followed by many other projects until recently Rebound in 2008, the last album to have seen the light before his untimely death.

The show, presented by actors Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson (surely someone will remember you for participating together in the film Hustle & Flow), opened with a great performance of R. Kelly who performed a medley of some of his classics (from the beautiful Bump N Grind to Your Body's Callin ' through When a Woman's Fed Up and Happy People ) and then his new single When a Woman Loves original version and in an unpublished uptempo remix.

Incredible performance, one more beautiful than the other.

Aloe Blacc , born Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III, is one of the talents of the most interesting scene soul / r & b contemporary.
Singer, rapper and musician, born in 1979 in Los Angeles, parents of Panamanian origin. A graduate of the University of Southern California, took his first steps in the music biz in the mid-90s as MC in the rap group Emanon , which will record several albums in the years to follow. The debut solo is dated 2003 with The Aloe Blacc EP , but in 2006 with the album Shine Through Aloe that engages with his first album for the long haul. The 2010 is the year of consecration: it comes out in September Good Things, released on disc Stones Throw Records, a label always attentive to quality products.
Aloe Blacc's music contains elements that cut across different genres of black music, from jazz to hip hop but they are mostly steeped in R & B and Soul.
I Need a Dollar
L'album, prodotto dal team della Truth & Soul Production (Jeff Dynamite e Leon Michels), segna una profonda maturazione per Aloe Blacc, sia musicalmente che liricalmente.
Il sound del disco ha un forte sapore retro-soul influenzato da grandi del passato come Marvin Gaye e Curtis Mayfield. A questo aggiungiamo la capacità di Aloe Blacc di scrivere lyrics profonde, con un occhio sempre attento ai problemi sociali ed alle tematiche razziali, capacità che ci porta a trovare alcune similitudini con uno storico artista quale Gil Scott-Heron.
Il primo singolo I Need a Dollar , traccia d'apertura del disco, viene scelto come intro per la serie TV della HBO How to Make in America . The other pieces of Good Things range from funky to sweet Hey Brothers Miss Fortune, a successful blend of r & b and reggae sounds. The soul in its purest essence, we capture while listening to songs like Loving You Is Killing Me and You Make Me Smile , while Femme Fatale , Aloe tried, with success in the classic Velvet Underground . Worth a mention too introspective Mama Hold My Hand , autobiographical song hued gospel.
An excellent second album for the Los Angeles artist who is a candidate with this job as one of the best albums of 2010.

It was released in April Decca label in 2010 Synthesis, the new album by Raul Midón, American guitarist and singer of Mexican descent. Blind from birth, for having spent time in an incubator without adequate eye protection, Raul has a talent like few others. His rhythm blues / Latin are a delight to the ear. Item to be perfect Soulman, was very much influenced by past greats like Donny Hathaway, to whom he dedicated a song in State of Mind, one of his previous album.
The album was produced by Larry Klein , also bassist in the disk. The very title of the album makes us understand what the mission of Raul. To summarize all his musical background, consisting of soul, jazz, Latin music and neo-soul, in a single album. And it does so in a masterly way, recording the entire album through a voice-controlled software that allowed him to perfect all his work. An album that flows nicely from start to finish for this artist who arrived at his 5th album, the third for a major, surprising more and more.
Synthesis is an album that when you are done you will be sorry to hear it because it lasts only 40 minutes. You can always start over! The disc begins with Do not Be a Silly Man, from the sounds of blues, which recounts the amazement and sense of devotion in a meeting with one of his musical idols. «…We talked about our virtues and our crimes, we talked about the nature of these tenuous times and how our constant search for immortality will always be denied…». Dettaglio tecnico: è registrata in 7/8 ... Chi fa musica sa cosa significa!
The Making of "Synthesis"
tracklist 1. Don't Be a Silly Man 2. Bonnie's Song 3. These Wheels 4. Next Generation 5. Everyone Deserves a Second Chance 6. Don't Take It That Way 7. When You Call My Name 8. Invisible Chains 9. About You 10. Blackbird 11. Why Am I Feeling So Bad 12. Moment to Moment (bonus track)
significant pieces, such as Next Generation, which speaks of "Twitter Generation" as a generation that can do everything, for the media that has no limits compared to the previous generation. Song accompanied by a dry but nice beat. An invitation to young people not to waste their youth for petty things, but to give our best to have a better future. In mid-album we are catapulted into South America, Latin rhythms of the bossa nova exciting Everyone Deserves a Second Chance .
When I said "synthesis" of different kinds mean really different. It also passes by the rhythms of reggae as Invisible Chains , alle contagiose sonorità pop di Don't Take It That Way . Fino alla commuovente Bonnie's Song , e all'altrettanto toccante When You Call My Name , che parla del come, essendo non vedente, sia riuscito ad apprezzare il mondo che lo circonda con gli altri sensi e, come dice lui stesso, non c'è niente di meglio di sentire una voce affettuosa che chiama il tuo nome.
L'album si conclude con All About You che spiega il perché del Parental Advisory sulla copertina, e con la cover di John Lennon, Blackbird . Una reinterpretazione di una bellezza sconvolgente! Fino a chiudersi a ritmo blues acustico con Why Am I Feeling So Bad?
Raul Midón è un talento unico, dotato di una voce calda e coinvolgente. È dotato di un'espressività che cattura chi ascolta. I testi sono tutti scritti da lui stesso (tranne Blackbird ovviamente) e sono tutti molto profondi e significativi. Raul parla spesso del suo "vedere" il mondo in modo diverso e lo fa con il suo talento cristallino, con la sua chitarra latina che suona in modo pulito e docile senza la minima sbavatura. A tratti sentirete una tromba che accompagna i soli di chitarra acustica ma come leggerete nei credits dell’album, non c'è nessun trombettista! Ecco il genio dell'artista: è lo stesso Raul CON LA SUA VOCE che imita in modo sorprendentemente perfetto una tromba jazz che accompagna la sua chitarra just so unique!
Esperanza brings touring his new album Chamber Music Society, a modern interpretation of chamber music. The training consists of a string quartet composed of the same experiment on double bass and three other musicians on viola, violin and cello, a drummer, the vocalist Leal Cyr (wife of guitarist Ricardo Vogt) and his faithful pianist Leonardo Genovese.
Firstly it is worth to say a few words about the structure of fiction and avverinistica Parco della Musica. Immense theater con tre sale più una all'aperto per l'estate. Esperanza suonerà nella sala "Petrassi", non la più grande della struttura, ma comunque molto bella.
Il concerto inizia alle 21:20. Luci spente, teatro buio, Esperanza entra lentamente sul palco vestita con un impermeabile e un foulard rosso intorno al collo. Silenzio. Si toglie l'impermeabile, le scarpe e il foulard e si adagia su un'antica sedia di legno, illuminata dalla fioca luce di una lampada. Sorseggia un bicchiere di vino rosso e prende posto al centro del palco dove "recupera" il suo contrabbasso.
Poche note introduttive, probabilmente improvvisate, introducono il brano di apertura del nuovo disco. Little Fly , con testo di William Blake. Piece of unique intensity during which I can not hold back the tears bursting into a silent cry that will not disturb other spectators close to me. I will continue to cry for the three subsequent tracks. The second track Knowledge of Good and Evil that the disc might perhaps seem long and verbose, live shines a new light. Esperanza has all the songs from his new album played without interruption from beginning to end without speaking to present the songs, creating an atmosphere that was definitely the mystic.
To note a wonderful version of Chacarera extended and made much stronger when the live shows even better bass have another talent, one of the dance. A beautiful surprise was Apple Blossom, an orphan in this guitar brasileira Ricardo Vogt and the special guest of Milton Nascimento, but no less exciting version of the album, far from it! Esperanza for most of the time he sings and plays with his eyes closed and smiles often, giving you the impression of being the first to become excited for what he does. And in doing so moves the audience, especially me. Very nice
also Inutil Pasaigem with vocal harmonies and Esperanza Leal. The concert will close with my two favorite tracks of the disk that is Winter Sun and What a Friend even these certainly enhanced by the arrangement dal vivo. Il concerto finisce qui.
Esperanza presenta i suoi musicisti e ritorna sull'antica sedia di legno, beve un altro bicchiere di vino, si riveste e va via. Ma il pubblico non è contento. Esperanza torna in scena allora per due bis. Il primo è tratto dal primo disco Junjo anche se non ricordo quale sia il titolo del pezzo (ma forse una versione stravolta di Perazela ) mentre il secondo bis è la bellissima Fall In , tratta dal secondo cd Esperanza (durante il quale avrei voluto con tutto me stesso che stesse cantando questo brano proprio per me).
Usciti dall'auditorium, riesco ad avvicinare Esperanza Spalding. Non potevo crederci! Ci ero riuscito a luglio e non contavo che ci sarei riuscito anche adesso. Mi avvicino a lei e le chiedo di fare una foto. Lei accetta sorridendo e quando la foto è stata fatta le mostro la foto che avevo fatto con lei a Locorotondo strappandole un "Woow Cool". Poi le prendo un braccio e mi rivolgo a lei leggermente tremante: "Esperanza volevo dirti qualcosa: tu per me non sei una musicista, tu per me sei La Musica". Lei rimane molto stupida da questo complimento e mi ringrazia. Ci sono altri fan, appassionati della sua musica quanto lo sono io. Mi sembra giusto dare spazio anche a loro e insieme ai miei amici torniamo alla macchina per tornare a casa, attraversando una fresca e luminosa Roma notturna.

September 28, 2010, Blue Note in Milan, an evening totally immersed and enveloped in the warmth and the sounds of Brazil, thanks to a fantastic live by the composer, singer and composer Ivan Lins.
A bossa nova beat of an irresistible treat for us all night ... simply impossible to stand still and not be entranced by the performance artist in Brazil.
The more involved the same course of the evening was Ivan Lins, who, surrounded by a stellar band, moving to music, smiling during breaks between songs, throwing glances of understanding to his musicians Ivan Lins sat in the middle of the stage, his keyboard, while the other protagonists of the evening were arranged in a semicircle around him, especially to highlight the performance of the young pianist and drummer who stood out for their bravery and their solos and virtuosity.
register was high and were also replicated many of the major successes of its past, next to the most recent pieces, "Passarela no Ar", "Daquilo Que eu Sei", "A People Merece Ser Feliz", "Dinorah, Dinorah" are just some of the songs that have delighted in the first part of the show, the intensity exhibition has been gradually increasing, until reaching a final thrill, a real explosion of rhythm and warmth.
After about an hour's concert Ivan Lins began singing and playing his famous "Comecar de Novo," which really left us open-mouthed ... a reigned in the room to silence, the audience literally in ecstasy at seeing this beautiful interpretation, very slow, quiet, soft, delicate, almost painful, so great was the intensity with which it was performed, then in the penultimate track, the bossa nova of fire suddenly rekindled, with the wonderful and very rhythmic "Ai Ai Ai Ai Ai", another highlight of this evening, the live it is then concluded with the famous "Madalena", in an extended version that it seemed would never end.
