Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Born in North London, Chas was in his late teens when he met Ian Dury and became an integral part of Dury's first band Kilburn & The High Roads. The group morphed into the Blockheads by the mid-1970's, and Jankel contributed to Dury's first hit 'Sex & Drugs & Rock 'N' Roll' in 1977 by co-writing and playing keyboards and guitar on it. The 1978 album that followed, New Boots & Panties, gave him a platinum award for his co-writing and arranging. His first club success came the following year with 1979's 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick'. Jankel once again did the arrangements, keyboards and guitar work on the British #-1 hit. By 1980 Jankel was primed for a solo career. The self-produced album Chas Jankel was released by A&M records and spawned his first solo 12 inch single hit, 'Ai No Corrida'. First time ever on CD! Includes the bonus track 'Little Eva'. Angel Air. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Before There Was Level 42 Or George Michael,There Was Chas Jankel, August 7, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
At the very start of the 80's this member of Ian Dury's Blockheads (who made wonderful contributions to their Do It Yourself a year earlier) made his dent into the emmerging (Brit-Funk) scene. 'Chaz Jankel' has nothing to do with the music of Ian Dury and really bares little relation to a lot of early British funk. For one Chas go for a very quirckier,more idiosyncratic sound then usual for this genre. Take "Ai No Corrida" for example-Quincy Jones popularized this song but Chas's version couldn't be any more different. Chas's version has an errie,far away vocal and much more unrelenting latin perussion. The electro funk aspect of the song is also played up to the nines so this is a far funkier version then the one Quincy smoothed out.There are three "piano solo" instrumentals here,all in very stark settings-my favorites are "Peace At Last" and "Reverie" which take on a surreal lounge feeling."Just A Thought" is what I'd like to call "blue eyed Brit-Funk"-it even has a bit of lite Carribean/Latin influences thrown into it.Chas finds the time to make room for another stomping disco-funk monster in the ultra long "Am I Honest With Myself Really?" which,for almost 14 minutes just keeps delivering on whatever grooves and messages it begins with.The brief "Fuse" suggests an (as usual all too brief) forray into pure electronica.The bonus track "Little Eva",with it's 80's pop/R&B sound really sounds as if it came from another album at a later time period,but it still nice. Along with so many albums from all over the world 'Chas Jankel' reminds me of what my friend Henrique and myself refer to as an "unexplorered direction in funk"-it certainly qualifies.But at the same time it's just really good to see the 'Chas Jankel' album available on CD for people who'd love to hear it.

4.0 out of 5 stars blue eyed fusion, August 20, 2006
This album was unexpectedly excellent when I picked it up years ago at a thrift store and thought I would take a chance after reading the inserts. Quincy Jones thought so also . He featured Ai No Corrida on one of his albums. This album blends dance, latin,and jazz themes throughout and has three very affecting instrumentals that alone make the album worth buying. I have several of his albums and this one is the best.
