Sometimes I'm not proud to be a Dutchman but this is different cake, now I'm proud as a chicken with seven cocks. May I introduce to you an other fellow Dutchman Robert Kramers. Robert Kramers is an outstanding bass player and writer as well producer. Kramers just released his first solo album 'On The Block' on his own independent label 'Robert Kramers'. The album consist of ten tracks which he all produced. The styles on this album are Smooth Jazz, Jazz Funk, Rap, Soul.

Robert was inspired by bands like 'Earth Wind And Fire', 'Commodores', 'George Benson', Motown Bass Legend 'James Jamerson' and an other old school bass hero 'Marcus Miller'. When you hear Robert play he just sounds like Miller and that is a very big compliment and i really mean it. That's why I'm so proud. The album sounds very fresh because the mastering is very good, sounds like an American production.

The opening track 'Back To Now' is a killer instrumental smooth jazz tune. Superb bass play, check the bridge. On top of the bass you hear beautiful strings. It has a nice melody and some great 'seventies/blaxploitation' sounds like the organ and synths. What a track.

Najee released a brand new album 'Smooth Side Of Soul' on SHANACHIE Records. This ten track album contains some great tracks. Other old school artists such as James Lloyd, Jeff Lorber, Phil Perry collaborated on this album. Check this album.

From Berlin the German Group Funkatized, groove specialists DeeGee and EnBee, released a new digital album 'Electric Chicken Club'. This is the third release from this group and contains 16 track in the syles pop, reggea, acid-(jazz)funk. Track #2 'Discotized' is an instrumental acid-jazz tune with a funky analog bass guitar line with on top an analog synth melodie. The title track 'Electric Chicken Club' is also an instrumental tune with a blend of all kind of styles of music such as jazz, funk, soul. This is not the cause for the reggea tune 'I Love you baby' and the jazz funk song 'Grandpa'. One of my favorite tunes is 'O'Jays Break', I think it's the name ;-). Another acid jazz funk track is 'Champagnernasen'. This instrumental is very funky. The same is true for 'Number Two', 'Quinn C'. The last tracks of this digital album are pure Jazz Funk Tracks. Worth a listen. The album or tunes are available on iTunes, or Amazon.
