Release Notes:
SUPPORT LATEST LAME !
The origins of this New York-based funk/soul band can be traced back to 1996 and
the forming of the Soul Providers, the original title giving a clear indication
of the foundersÆ musical inclinations. Philip Lehman and Gabriel Roth aka Bosco
Mann were driven by their love of 60s and 70s soul music to form their own band
and the Desco Records label, and with the addition of former correctional
officer Sharon Jones (b. Sheron Lafaye Jones, 4 May 1956, Augusta, Georgia, USA)
on vocals recorded several albums of deliberately retro funk and soul.
The duo went their separate ways in 2000, with Roth forming the Daptones Records
label with regular collaborator Neal Sugarman. A new group, the Dap-Kings, was
put together to act as the labelÆs house band comprising Roth (bass), Leon
Michels (tenor saxophone), Jack Zapata (b. Martφn Perna; baritone saxophone),
Anda æGoodfootÆ Szilagyi (trumpet), Binky Griptite (guitar), Earl Maxton
(organ), Homer æFunkyfootÆ Steinwess (drums) and Fernando æBoogalooÆ Velez
(percussion). Jones, whose star had been on the rise with funk and soul fans
following the release of a string of singles on Desco, provided the vocals and
received top billing. A studio album recorded during the groupÆs summer
residency in Barcelona, Spain was released in very limited numbers in 2001, with
a much larger run the following year after the album was championed in the retro
funk press. Jones and Roth received the majority of the praise, the former for
her controlled, passionate vocals and the latter for his crisp analogue
production.
A number of personnel changes ensued over the next two years, with Zapata,
Maxton and Szilagyi leaving and Sugarman, David Guy (trumpet) and Tommy Brenneck
(guitar) added to the line-up. Roth also took a back seat for a while following
a serious car accident. Naturally, released in 2005, accentuated the groupÆs
soul leanings, although a number of full-on funk numbers were still in place.
Michels left shortly afterwards to run the Truth & Soul label and was replaced
by Ian Hendrickson-Smith.
During the next two years the profile of the Dap-Kings expanded beyond the funk
and soul circuit when they were hired to work on a number of projects by
DJ/producer Mark Ronson, the most notable of which was UK singer Amy WinehouseÆs
2006 Back To Black and RonsonÆs own Version in 2007. The Dap-Kings also served
as WinehouseÆs backing band on her first US tour. During this period they also
released their most commercially successful album, 100 Days, 100 Nights. Jones
and the band followed in 2010 with the stellar I Learned The Hard Way, and again
in 2013 with Give The People What They Want.
