Leee John, Feel My Soul Sensuality

Feel My SOUL – Soul – jazz , cd /dvd making of recorded in Rochfort, France by 80s soul legend of 80s soul funk group IMAGINATION debut soul -jazz album a combination of soul acoustic jazz and rnb jazz funk with a unique classic organic feel.

The original came from my soul jazz CD/DVD FEEL MY SOUL – www.feelmysoul.co.uk. Sensuality was last year one of the top ten played records in America”s SMOOTH JAZZ chart, hence interest from BRAD LEBEAU U.S. dance promotion company to release a dance version.

Another tidbit. While in the far east I bumped into djs from Manchester’s Haciena who told me they ended the night with JUST AN ILLUSION (recently recorded by MARIAH CAREY , The PHARCYDE < mashups by TUPAC, JENNIFER HUDSON , JAYZ – check www.leeejohn.com videos.

The Jazz Loft Project

Eugene Smith from 821 Sixth Avenue, 1957-1965 By Sam Stephenson

The following is excerpted from the prologue of the book.

The Jazz Loft Project

W. Eugene Smith sits at the fourth-floor window of his dilapidated loft at 821 Sixth Avenue, New York City, near the corner of Twenty-eighth Street, the heart of Manhattan’s wholesale flower district. He peers out at the street below, several cameras at hand loaded with different lenses and film speeds. His window faces east from the west side of Sixth Avenue. The dawn light begins to rise behind the Empire State Building and other Midtown skyscrapers looming over the modest neighborhood.

Three musicians stand together on the sidewalk below talking and laughing. One holds an upright bass in its case, another has a saxophone case slung over his shoulder, and the other is smoking a cigarette. It is six o’clock in the morning; the temperature is a moderate thirty degrees. The musicians are going home after a night-long jam session. Smith snaps a few pictures.
