The Experience [28 Apr]
Artist Profile & Event of The Month
Artist:
For
the 4th episode we feature The Jazz guru, Mr. Funk, Electronic music
master, Herbert Jeffrey “Herbie” Hancock. Born 12 April 1940 in “Chi town”
(that’s Chicago for the old hippies) Illinois, USA.
The
composer, pianist, band leader started his music career early in his life where
he was educated in classical music from the age of 7. Throughout his teens he
continued his passion for jazz where he was self teaching himself the
arrangements of playing the music and its core artistry.
He
later started working with Donald Byrd and Coleman Hawkins while he was
studying at Roosevelt University (he graduated Grinnell College in degrees in
Electrical Engineering and music which he later was awarded with an honorary
Doctor of fine arts). His 1st solo album came in 1962 titled Taking
Of under Blue Note Records.
His
music career took a hike when he joined The Miles Davis Quintet in 1963. From
that moment he went on to be recognized as one of the best recording artist in
the music industry through his perfected albums throughout his career where he
also introduced the Electronic sound into Jazz.
And that also was showcased when he won various Grammy Awards one which
was album of the year in 2008 for his album River: The Joni Letters (2nd
album to win such award as a jazz album).
Event:
April
saw excitement going through Sosha (Soshanguve Township) as 2 of its sons
together known as Black Motion went on to win an award for Best Dance album for
their album Fortune Teller at the (21st) XXI Annual South African
Music Awards.
Black
Motion is made of Robert “Dj Murda” Mahosana and Thabo “Smol” Mabongwane who
plays the percussions in the group. The 2 have been producing music separately
before they formed up in 2010 to producing a string of good dance floor fillers
which saw them getting recognized throughout Africa and some Europe countries.
The
duo are signed under one of SA’s leading record label Kalawa Jazmee under the
leadership of Oscar “Oscido” Mdlongwa who worked with them on their chat
topping single “ Banane Mavoko” which saw them getting the recognition national
radio stations.
This shows the hard work the 2 put in their
project Fortune Teller as they were recently nominated for the Metro Fm Awards
for the same album. As Sosha natives ourselves we feel proud of the group to
have representing our hood in such high standard. We as Modern Soul Experience
love to honor the representative our township.
