Song:Fresh In My Mind
Album:Mellowdramatic
Fans of Acid Jazz and Trip Hop might be familiar with this record that was popular in British clubs in 1997. Unlike most Acid Jazz which is British, A Forest Mighty Black is led by German producer Bernd Kunz. He does mostly remixes for the German label Compost Records. So most songs by A Forest Mighty Black turn up on various artists CDs. The exception was when he recorded the album Mellowdramatic in 1997. Candyfloss and Fresh In My Mind were released as a single and it became popular in British clubs. The interesting thing about Kunz is he likes to sample jazz and Brazilian music. On Fresh In My Mind, he's obviously sampling jazz piano. So who is it? It's an obscure Brazilian pianist named Francisco Tenorio Jr. I have never heard of him. He recorded in the 60s and then he died mysteriously in 1976. His body was never found. He is presumed dead. The vocals are by Karin "Kitty K" Weckermann. Mellowdramatic is available as a budget CD. Acid Jazz fans should check it out. Kunz released another A Forest Mighty Black album in 2014. But mostly he still produces remixes for Compost. Here's a video for Fresh In My Mind by A Forest Mighty Black.
