Bilal
directed by Carine Zuber; produced by Moods Jazz Association; performed by Bilal, 1979-, Bilal, 1991-, Randy Runyon, Conley (Tone) Whitfield and Joseph Grissett (Paris, Ile-de-France: Qwest TV, 2019), 2 hours 2 mins
Though sometimes associated with the nu soul scene, Bilal is an artist that defies categorization. With ties to hip hop (Guru, Common ... ) and beatmaking, the singer has chosen the path of innovation more often than not, as demonstrated by In Another Life, his surprising 2015 album.

Though sometimes associated with the nu soul scene, Bilal is an artist that defies categorization. With ties to hip hop (Guru, Common ... ) and beatmaking, the singer has chosen the path of innovation more often than not, as demonstrated by In Another Life, his surprising 2015 album. Endowed with a proverbial open mind (he notably covered Radiohead's "High And Dry"), Bilal starts his set on the Moods stage with the impeccable "Sirens II," a haunting theme that stands at the crossroads between rock and rhythm and blues. The next two hours are a testament to his tried and tested formula. With Randall Runyon on guitar, Tone Whitfield on bass and Joe Blaxx on drums, the band unites over an ambient repertoire. When listening to the jazzy sequences, and more particularly to "Naima," a John Coltrane track that Bilal gives a dazzling interpretation of, it becomes clear how the group acts as a conduit for different styles. Often electric, sometimes psychedelic, the set evokes the performer's beginnings with the legendary Soulquarians, as well as the work of close friend Adrian Younge, the boss of Linear Labs studio and author of the recent Jazz Is Dead sessions.

This Fascinating portrait devoted to James Brown embodies the man who was explicitly nicknamed Soul Brother Number One, The Hardest Working Man In Show Business and of course Mr. Dynamite... Carefully paced, this document addresses the milestones of this figure in African-American culture. The rhythm and blues beginnings with the Famous Flames ("Please, Please, Please"), the ascent to the funky Himalayas thanks to the JB's ("Sex Machine") and the impact on urban music or more precisely on rap (“Unity”, in duet with Afrika Bambaataa)… Accompanied by comments from the singer, the first part of this film deals with the family environment in Georgia, the American movement for civil rights and the power exercised by Africa on at-home productions. As such, the images of James Brown's visit to the island of Gorée, a symbolic place of slavery in Senegal, are worth the detour alone. Illustrated by a detailed chronology of his career, the second part of this video brings together the cultural actors of the time, starting with Stevie Wonder, the explosive musical development and its impact on the international scene, and the many historical sets including those high masses at the Apollo Theater in Harlem: get on the good foot… Vincent Caffiaux
