...facility. They did their best but were short staffed. His doctors wanted to put him on the harshest psychotropic drugs available. When several nurses warned me against the drugs, I fought for and got a milder drug regimen. But again, fearful that he'd get up and break a hip, they strapped him to his bed. He began to wither away, uninterested for the first time in food, because he was no longer allowed salt. He couldn't see to ring the bell for the toilet, so he would sometimes lie for hours in wet diapers or sheets until...
Musical miscegenation is the order of the day. Salsa sleeping with ska, rock 'n' roll and hip-hop giving birth to rock-hop. We live in an age of diversifying demographics and turntable mixing, and the result is often beautifully blurred music. Right now, there's no one better at putting out albums that blend the sounds of the times than the New York City-based nonprofit Red Hot Organization. Over the past nine years, Red Hot, working with various record labels, has produced a dozen albums, each one featuring some sly subgenre mix, with all net profits going...
...albums are not just good-hearted, they're also good listening--and almost always on the cutting edge. Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool (1994) deftly combines the talents of jazz acts (Ron Carter, Joshua Redman) and hip-hoppers (the Roots, Spearhead). Red Hot + Rio (1996) features such performers as Maxwell, Sting and Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora exploring the music of Brazil; a terrific companion CD, Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve, showcases the work of Brazilian acts from the '50s, '60s and '70s (Antonio Carlos Jobim, Caetano Veloso...
...downtown club, sleepy, music throbbing, your third drink drained. A stranger starts whispering gruff poetry into your ear. That's Tricky, the prince of trip-hop, and a dues-paying member of the musical avant-garde. In his mesmerizing new album he collaborates with hip-hoppers DJ Muggs (of Cypress Hill) and Grease. They help bring his almost perversely abstract compositions back down to the street, grounding them with raw raps and blunt beats. Tricky remains endearingly elusive, delivering almost all his vocals sotto voce, winding his way through the shadows of his songs...
Nineteen cuts long and teeming with guest stars--Jay-Z, Lil Kim, Nas--the second album from hip-hopreneur Sean Combs is a sprawling, colorful tapestry with something for everyone: hard-core braggadocio, clever sampling (Christopher Cross pops up), label-conscious odes to celebrity life (Miramax and Bentley get name checks) and a few songs made for the dance floor. But the spiritual musings of the title cut and the chill of death blowing through Pain, the album's gripping cautionary street tale, show Puffy grappling with something deeper: the conflicting demands of two worlds...
