Both in the psychedelic soul-jazz unit Afrocop and as a solo performer, Brass reveals the improvisational mastery of a musician attuned to a profound celestial wavelength. You can hear this rarefied skill all over his debut album, Broken Cloud Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the opening track “Cortex Overflow” glows into life, you instantly feel your blood pressure lower. It’s a gentle keyboard meditation seemingly composed of crystallized stardust, like Lonnie Liston Smith gone New Age. “Day In Day Out” is as dainty as a music box motif, but imbued with subdued gospelized soulfulness and synth quasars reminiscent of obscure ‘70s Motown maverick Mandré. It’s definitive inner-space music, ideal for ogling the constellations in a wistful mood. “Tilted North” is slightly darker-hued and more abrasive than anything else on Broken Cloud Orchestra, but it’s still contemplative and beautifully mellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Eight Moons” offers a sanctified soulfulness that’s almost unbearably light and nuanced. This is jazz that’s ascended into an angelic state of grace. It is healing music that twinkles, whorls, and wafts in the same exalted airspace as the most cosmic New Age, sometimes approaching the gravitas of German mystics Popol Vuh. As for “Prism Jousting,” imagine if Miles Davis’ In A Silent Way were dissolved into its molecular ingredients—Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Joe Zawinul’s luminous tones distilled into a lavender vapor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes a special breed of human to generate the sort of preternaturally beneficent and tranquil sounds heard on Broken Cloud Orchestra. Brass strives for a sort of sacred stillness in his compositions, achieving an ambient penumbra that’s as translucent as it is transcendent. Creating music that both soothes and stimulates your higher mind is surpassingly difficult. But Broken Cloud Orchestra’s 11 tracks—which all smoothly segue into one another—form velvet links in a chain that binds the record in a cohesive, sensuous sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“All the expressiveness and feel is all I can give,” Brass says with regard to his creative impulses. “It would be nice to see some goalposts moved in a weird age of soullessness.” Broken Cloud Orchestra subliminally does just that, from Brass’ nimble hands to your ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"waxthematique","offers":[{"title":"Color LP","offer_id":36491569561750,"sku":"SQ9857484","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Test Press","offer_id":36491569594518,"sku":"SQ1126135","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/products\/BCOCoverSite.jpg?v=1607905964"},{"product_id":"tropikorolp","title":"Nathan Womack and Ben Bounce \"Tropikoro\" Limited Color Vinyl [TROPICAL BEATS \/ INSTRUMENTAL HIP HOP] Wax Thématique #4","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Vinyl reflects the name \"Paces Lift\" (Nathan Womack's previous moniker)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e- 2nd album by beat-battle competitors turned collaborators. \u003cbr\u003e- 180gram LP pressed in limited Aqua\/Blue color.\u003cbr\u003e- Poly-lined inner sleeves \u0026amp; matte finish LP jackets.\u003cbr\u003e- Original artwork, illustration and painting by Stevie Anderson.

In 2014, the two traded spaghetti western beats on the high noon duel of Quick Trigger. If Quick Trigger was a western manifest, then follow-up Tropikoro is the tradesmen hitting the high seas for distant islands across the Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropikoro is another funky, cinematic score immersing the listener in the international grooves of Pacific Southeast. Psychedelia and Tropicalia collide across Tropikoro for an escapist record in which every cut is a new stamp in the passport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew operate in their terrain and Paces Lift and Ben Bounce have concocted a beat record style all their own with Tropikoro. The movement feels organic, the samples seamless, as the two producers’ techniques bond together. Born of a beatmaking challenge to make 30 beats in 30 days, a tradition the two producers have participated in since before Quick Trigger, Tropikoro’s thematics lean on psych and tropical records only to be discovered in International vinyl bins. Both producers bring deep crates to the project, to a point that even the sharpest ear for obscura can’t place these samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe albums beat suites vibrate with continuous transformations that keep the listener alarmed and attentive. On “Crossing” a transaction goes awry, the ordeal feels lamented by vocal sample, and the sonic shifts maintain the drama. While “Hector By The Lake” sounds like Hector only participates in devious acts best scored on a psych-organ by the shore. There’s always a criminal element in the narratives these producers weave, in this case “Pocket Full Of Diamonds” is a jewel heist. By closer “The Great Phantasmo” the collective are getting lost in the market crowd, drifting into back alleys and slipping the authorities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"waxthematique","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":39634685624470,"sku":"SQ3989678","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Test Press","offer_id":39634689491094,"sku":"","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/products\/Tropikoro1.png?v=1618424417"},{"product_id":"sllp","title":"Select Level - Limited Color Vinyl LP [NEW WAVE\/PUNK FUNK] Wax Thématique #5","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•Debut LP from drummer\/producer of FCS North and Afrocop.\u003cbr\u003e•Limited Edition “Cotton Candy” color.\u003cbr\u003e•180Gram Heavyweight Vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e•12x12 Lyric Sheet Insert.\u003cbr\u003e•Music performed by Andy Sells, Joel Cuplin, Noel Brass Jr., Jayson Powell. \u003cbr\u003e•Mixed by SCNTFC and Andy Sells.\u003cbr\u003e•Mastered by Mell Dettmer in Seattle, WA. \u003cbr\u003e•Art Design and Layout by Travis Ritter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*Free LP Download with purchase\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2847169315\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/waxthematique.bandcamp.com\/album\/select-level\"\u003eSelect Level by Wax Thematique\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"waxthematique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36491569791126,"sku":"SQ3013229","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/products\/SelectLevelCoverWaxSite.png?v=1606427708"},{"product_id":"qtlprp","title":"Paces Lift and Ben Bounce - Quick Trigger.

With this offering, they take communion with dub's sacrament from the basements and sound systems of planet earth and tape-echo it back out to the Pleiades. -Lucky Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"waxthematique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36491570151574,"sku":"SQ7970977","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/products\/RezinToothWaxSite_7711ea27-34e5-49df-b125-a175c28781bd.png?v=1609263773"},{"product_id":"pecantrees","title":"Lucky Brown and the S.G.'S - Pecan Trees Speak To Each Other 10\" [MODAL JAZZ\/DEEP FUNK]","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e- Released on Tramp Records (Germany)\u003cbr\u003e- Deluxe 10”\u003cbr\u003e- Each with it’s own vintage sleeve\u003cbr\u003e- Includes full-album download code\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=834830512\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tramprecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/pecan-trees-speak-to-each-other\"\u003ePecan Trees Speak To Each Other by Lucky Brown \u0026amp; The S.G.'s\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the help of Joel Ricci, band leader of Lucky Brown \u0026amp; The S.G.’s, we’re carrying a small run of his most recent vinyl offering: A Modal Jazz meets Deep Funk 4-track recorded masterwork on deluxe 10” vinyl with one of a kind vintage sleeves. Pecan Trees Speak To Each Other was inspired by the summer sounds of the rustling pecan groves of San Marcos, Texas, where Joel composed his Mesquite Suite [TRLP-9074] under his Lucky Brown moniker (GO LISTEN TO MESQUITE SUITE NOW). Inspiration for the title was found in the writings of Robin Wall Kimmerer in her book, Braiding Sweetgrass, and in southwest poet Wendy Burk’s book, Tree Talks. Those who care to look and listen deeply, know that the trees are sentient beings and are in a constant and spirited conversation with their kind and the other beings of the forest. Messages delivered in tantalizing silence, like love notes passed in a classroom, are received with heady anticipation through the power of pollen. And underground, in the dark, a living network of messages are conveyed molecularly from one tree to another through a vast system of mycelia and bacteria. “I’m hurt,” “I am hungry,” “I am dying,” I am alive!,” “I need help,” “I am afraid,” “Thank you...” These messages tell the other members when to be fruitful, when to conserve their energy, and when to defend themselves from attack. Of course, there are likely many other ways the trees talk that we cannot or will not ever hear. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn a similar way, many of us reach upward and outward for a brighter, more prosperous, more peaceful future like branches reaching to the sun. Many of us simultaneously root down into the earth through ritual and dance, and grow and build our local and global community bodies one beat at a time. Those of us who are concerned about the loss of more and more corners of our sustaining yet delicate ecological web want to protect our water, our air, and our earth from extractive and exploitative forces. This is our home, and we are all each others’ relatives. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFurthermore, we yearn to use our gifts and our power and our life force to further the cause of the small, the tiny, the quiet, the low, and all the beings on and under the earth. We deliver these messages daily and passionately in so many ways, along the mysterious networks of the world wide web. And at times, when we have more to say, when words do not suffice, we deliver these messages with our music. Our sonic, musical, vibrational, tone messages are being sent to you right now!

The shorter, edited version on Side B showcases just Kate's solo, while Side A features Marc Hager (keys) and Colin Higgins (guitar). Recorded by Lucky to 4-track cassette at Bob Heinemann’s Bomb Shelter studio just like the Mesquite Beat\/Justice [TR-1040] single, and then transferred, overdubbed and mixed by Joel Ricci and Jason Gray at Blue Mallard Studio, this deluxe 10-inch ’found acetate’ project is the final chapter of the Tramp Tapes imprint series and represents another beloved Brown \u0026amp; Gray production. As a very special bonus, this release includes the brutal rehearsal version for “’Bout To Blow,” recorded on Ollie Klomp’s world-famous Magik Carpet (the entire Mystery Road [TR-9044] album was recorded there), and on the flip, you’ll find a living, breathing rough-funk jam in its entirety, “Scavenge Patch Blues,” recorded at the Scavenge Patch as a band warm-up for the Mesquite Suite session. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith this, our humble offering, we send our aspiration to exist in harmony with all the inhabitants of this planet, we are singing, we are playing, we are harmonizing, we are becoming attuned to each other and to the healing vibrations of the universe.

There’s a very good reason we’ve not released a 45 until now. To do the medium true justice and carry it’s lore forward, is naturally the only way we could approach a seven inch record. Heads and collectors know, DJ’s and Selectors hold them close, in many cases far more than a full sized 12” LP. So we had no choice but to wait until the right composition presented itself. And if it didn’t that's fine, we’d keep doing our thing. But then..we were introduced to Joel Ricci’s “Funkways”. Known as a pioneer creator of deep funk among maven record collecting circles in Europe, Joel’s released his signature brand of down-and-dirty 4 track minimalist blues on both sought after labels, Tramp Records in Germany and Rocafort Records in Spain. Also sometimes known as Lucky Brown, Joel helms his Lucky Mystery Now Orchestra band (among many other just-as-raw side groups), projecting a living image of the vastness of the potential of community-based, vernacular, rhythmic music. 2 incredibly raw tracks only available here and for the first time. We present to you: our 7th release, for the 7th year of Wax Thematique, and it's our very first 7 inch record.

The rich sounds of Maloya and Séga music, originating from the Réunion island (as well as Mauritius and Seychelles for Séga), have recently been brought to the ears of the Northern hemisphere's music lovers. Hailing from the French Alps, where Réunion-natives and young \"metropolitan\" French youngsters have been sharing parties, food and music for years, Les Pythons De La Fournaise are a flavoursome electric \"Séga\" band and they have already put out a couple of albums over the last decade.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eThough true to the roots and spirit of the genre, they developed a special sensitivity which defined their style; and this time, they are interpreting Séga and Maloya songs under the form of a - nearly - all-acoustic orchestra : \"L'Orchestre Du Piton\" !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p2\"\u003eThis Long-Player has got a particular sound and character, starting with a powerful four-woman choir (often sung in unison, in accordance with the Maloya tradition). The \"lead\" is a different singer on almost every song, which brings a variety of tone and vocal texture to the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eInstead of keys, organ or synth, Les Pythons went for accordion ; they also brought into the studio an array of percussion, ranging from classic bongos and bells to typical instruments of the Indian Ocean : the Kayamb, the Pikeur, the Sati and most notably the Roulèr – the king of them all, majestic barrel-shelled bass drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eOn songs like \"Anon Manz Demiel\" (Let's go and eat honey), two crazy electric guitars with intertwined riffs add a fresh element to the sound – somewhat echoeing with Esquivel's exotica and Congolese rumba at the same time !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd the most unusual fact on this record : there is no bass guitar.

Possibly because most music in the popular arena is made on computers, written by songwriting firms for a 'personality' to mime on stage and in studio, and created with the intention of making a profit. Young musicians influenced by the glitz and glamour of the mass market literally 'play' right into the corporations' hands - gleefully mimicking the poses, the sentiments, and reinforcing the antisocial values of the plutocracy. Lucky Brown believes that beauty is not contained in the sound of the music but lives in the hearts of the musicians. Therefore, music made by people who love music and want to build a better world sounds different from music produced by corporations. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUntil the advent of the industrial revolution, popular music was produced by regular people - the populace, get it? Songs were written, played and recorded by people in a neighborhood. Music had meaning and purpose. The music was handed down from the elders in the same way as cooking, seeds, stories, building techniques, and values were; with each generation subtly manipulating the form to fit the needs of their communities and place in time. Lucky\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Brown is concerned about the wholesale destruction and loss of this rich cultural heritage. To put a price tag on everything and then force feed it into the waste machine degrades both the consumer and the producer. Beautiful songs do exist. You can write one yourself or find one tucked away in a dusty bin of 45s, but until we unlock the secrets of this classic music, our sonic landscape will likely be blighted by the mass homogeneity heard everywhere. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen you hear american funk, soul, r\u0026amp;b, jazz, blues, and rock n' roll from the late 60s and early 70s you may be hit with emotions of pleasure, joy and awe. How can the people of today produce music with such energy, urgency and soul? Certainly not by copying, and certainly not by sequestering this music away in a museum. Record diggers know in their heart that true beauty is a rarity, and therefore worth preserving and protecting, why else would rare seven-inch pieces of vinyl fetch so much money at auction? Lucky Brown takes it one step further and through his music, points to artists who's soul and fire is a gift dedicated to all people. Lucky Brown's work with deep funk is the result of his group's quest, a specific example of exploration in this field - not intended as a copy, but hopefully as encouragement to other musicians of like mind to continue the search. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLucky Brown and his friends play music together on a carpet in the living room. They record to a tape machine situated in or near a kitchen because most of this music was recorded after a shared meal. Much of this album is the sound of the musicians playing or creating the song for the first time together - listening to and communicating with each other. Time and place is irrelevant. The hunger for authenticity is timeless and permanent, and Lucky Brown's quest transcends limitations of time and space. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Thematique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40099899015318,"sku":"","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/products\/7collection1.png?v=1623964700"},{"product_id":"feed-la-hikaye","title":"FEED LA - HIKAYE \/ THE 3RD FIRST DAY 12\" [JAZZ \/ POST-ROCK]","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrivate Press \/ Self Released 12\" (45RPM). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHand-Stamped by the band. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1st Pressing is stamped in red, 2nd pressing in green. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTest Press Profits go to the FEEDLA program @ YMCA Los Angeles, CA. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\nFrom the famed German Funk outfit, \u003cstrong\u003ePoets of Rhythm\u003c\/strong\u003e, Future Jazz group \u003cstrong\u003eFaruk Green\u003c\/strong\u003e and studio magician, multi-instrumentalist and Jamie Lidell collaborator, \u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Raymond Gahn\u003c\/strong\u003e, Feed LA was born.

The use of the word generic here is not meant to be derogatory. Rather, it is to transmit the sense that this tune falls squarely within the confines of the so-called Deep Funk canon.

Brown conceived the motif while in meditation in a yoga-turned-composition studio in San Marcos, Texas. He later delicately draped the parts\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e around it like woodsmoke. The overall effect of the composition is one of economy and restraint - nothing could be added or taken away. The horns, guitar and vintage electric combo organ begin in unison and then the figure brazenly explodes like a flock of white winged doves from a pecan tree in humid dusk. Here are featured extemporizations from Jason Cressey - trombone, Peter Daniel - saxophone, Colin Higgins - guitar, and drummer Ollie Klomp, with an exposition of open horns in the climax.

They join forces as Lucky Brown \u0026amp; The S.G.’s to do an interpretation of the collection of Lucky Brown original folk\/ jazz spiritual tracks with deep rhythms “Mesquite Suite” recorded in 2015 deep in Texas Hill Country. While The S.G.’s themselves ( (Oliver Klomp – drums, Colin Higgins – guitar, Bob Heinemann – bass, and Marc Hager – keys) are a band that specializes in instrumental soul, like that of The Meters or the great Book T. and the MGs, their instrumentation pairs well with Lucky’s experimental style, and this special 45 was born. The label, an imprint of Tramp Records, Tramp Tapes will be a series of deep, raw funk that is indeed inspired by Mulatu Astatke as much as it is inspired by The Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown. The first single, “Mesquite Beat” is deep and funky in its own right. Not that hard hitting you might expect, but gets you deep inside with a heavy funky, Ethio-jazz, afro-soul feeling. With this record it is all about the feels. Get on a groove, feel it, and just let go. Haunting as it shuffles along, the organ work stands out like a lamp shining deep into the night while the horns and drums keep it moving long after that light has burned out. The flip, a more upbeat track, “Justice” features Lucky Brown on the funky flute and glides along quite nicely. - Flea Market Funk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Thematique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41228455674006,"sku":"","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/products\/MesquiteBeat7.png?v=1639720939"},{"product_id":"wxtm011","title":"Grandbaby - Congo Solar 7\" [PSYCHEDELIC \/ INSTRUMENTAL] Wax Thématique #11","description":"\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3280379271\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/waxthematique.bandcamp.com\/album\/congo-solar\"\u003eCongo Solar by Grandbaby\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWXTM-011\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDebut 7\" 45RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 04\/01\/2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMastered by Jason Baldock in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArt Design by Jason Baldock and Nathan Womack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNotes:\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWritten, performed, produced and recorded in an underground WWII bunker (\"The Crunch\") in the English countryside, Jason Baldock’s “Grandbaby” project isn’t as cuddly as it’s cheeky name would suggest.

So during the 2013-2014 span of living room \"Magik Carpet\" sessions at drummer, Oliver Klomp's house in West Seattle, the combo dubbed by Lucky as \"The New Lucky Seven\" casually hit the head a couple times before calling it a night as Lucky rolled tape. - Joel Ricci \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Thematique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41965403078806,"sku":"","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/products\/Woodhead7A.png?v=1658453206"},{"product_id":"wxtm014","title":"Funkways Series 3: Lucky Mystery Now Orchestra - \"Fireball\" 7\" [FUNK \/ BLUES] Wax Thématique #14","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"player\"\u003e\u003caudio controls=\"controls\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/files\/01_Fireball.mp3?v=1705041392\"\u003e\u003c\/audio\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eLucky Mystery Now Orchestra - \"Fireball\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"player\"\u003e\u003caudio controls=\"controls\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/files\/02_These_Eternal_Verities.mp3?v=1705041410\"\u003e\u003c\/audio\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eJ.A.S Ricci Quartette - \"These Eternal Verities\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"a \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eloose-limbed and jazzily-funky workout, \u003c\/span\u003eFireball\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e which casually blazes its flute-led way along the ‘road less travelled’ of a three beat time structure...and a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emore contemplative number on the flip \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efeaturing a smouldering organ turn from none other than Delvon Lamarr!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Monkeyboxing.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eWXTM-014\u003cbr\u003ePart 3 of the Funkways Series \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 01\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003eWritten by Joel Ricci\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Doug Krebs\u003cbr\u003eProject Manager: Nathan Womack\u003cbr\u003eArt, Design, and layout by Small Studio\u003cbr\u003eDigital Download included\u003cbr\u003eIncludes Exclusive Download of Funkways Flute-Funk Favorites Volumes 1+2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLiner Notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFireball\u003c\/b\u003e (Side A)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLucky Mystery Now Orchestra's newest single is a hypnotic jazz funk that has been built upon the spiritual form of three beats rather than four. Based on the number 6 (divisible by three) if you count the eighth notes, 3, if you count the quarter notes. Of course this isn’t the first 3 beat-based funk tune, but most funk, especially as designed by Black American Funk Architects such as James Brown, Sly and Parliament-Funkadelic is based on the number four, with the “one” being the most important beat - as well it should be. Four is the number of the Square, the Cube, the House, The Earth, and The Body, as well as the four elements, seasons, etc. In fact, There is simultaneously a hidden four inside the tune as the melody is an eight bar (divisible by four) passage that repeats. Plus another 8 bar outro and an additional 8 bar drum\/guitar break. Going back to the mention of James Brown et al. it is important to note that early soul and R\u0026amp;B ballads were often built upon the 12\/8 time signature (divisible by both 3 and 4) and that one of the most defining aspects of funk (in the opinion of the composer) is the antediluvian and African clave of “3 against 4” or 3 beats being outlined especially by the snare and guitar, while simultaneously the bass instruments and horns follow along the track of the four beat. The 3 is found over and over again inside and against the four of black music throughout history, the 'swing' of jazz, for example. Therefore, FIREBALL is offered here as a conspicuous rendering of the natural loping and universally established three pulse that will, in Ricci's fresh and refreshing way, beguile and bewitch your listeners and dancers.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eThese Eternal Verities \u003c\/b\u003e(Side B)\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eHot on the heels of his latest J.A.S.RICCI QUARTETTE release on Golden Rules Soul out of Germany [CAT #], Ricci offers up the b-side to end all b-sides bringing together world-class funk soul artist Delvon LaMarr as well as his current drummer Julian McDonough plus Polyrhythmics founder and transcendental guitar-man, himself, Ben Bloom. The session was recorded by Trombonist and long-time Lucky Brown collaborator Mars Lindgren and was recorded live in a wood-floored living room in the York District of Bellingham sometime in 2006. During the global lockdown, Ricci took the CD rough mix, transferred it back to cassette, then composed a new melody with his flute over the bluesy track.

Stitched together with flamboyant precision from myriad sessions in various studios, Afrocop extrapolates on the nonchalantly cosmic jams that the group has laid down in live performance and earlier, digital-only releases, including 2020’s Moondust. Afrocop enters the musical underground poised to be heard by true heads worldwide. As longtime Afrocop fans know, they are inveterate sonic chameleons. They’ve been honing their prodigious improv chops for over a decade on the live circuit, playing everything from corporate gigs to psychedelic-music festivals to residencies at classy Italian restaurants and wine bars, and in many spaces in-between. No matter the setting in which they flex their dynamic creativity, keyboardist Noel Brass Jr., drummer Andy Sells, and bassist Carlos Tulloss flaunt an uncanny versatility: they can beautify the background like ambient masters, get up with it à la Miles Davis’ filthiest electric-era band, or fling you into deepest, fusionoid space on a nanosecond’s notice. “Everything was improvised,” says Brass of the seven tracks on Afrocop, while noting that there was some editing. “With [“Splitting The Atom: Sunflower Envelope”], we told SCNTFC, 'use your best Teo Macero mixing techniques.' Because we want this to be a listening experience. When we play live, we're trying to mesh with how people are feeling. We make it different every time, not just, 'here's this change.' Andy might start in a weird time signature and then go into a Latin swing and next thing you know, we're somewhere else.” The album’s opening track, the aforementioned “Splitting The Atom,” instantly alerts listeners that Afrocop are heading outward bound, with soulful afterburners. This is transcendent jazz funk elevated by Brass' organ drones and interstellar-space-thriller swoops, Tulloss's bulbous bass throbs, Sells' “‘'Funky Drummer' goes to grad school\" beats, and guest percussionist Jayson Powell’s transportive congas. Vibrating with vibrant life forces and at once earthy and spacey, this nearly 11-minute track sets the lofty tone for Afrocop.  The mellow, dub-infused funk of “Seeking New Strata” comes off like Massive Attack remixing Lonnie Liston Smith. Using his Nord Wave’s Mellotron setting, Brass conjures harmonic majesty that contrasts spicily with Sells' drumming, which has the precise funkiness of Ziggy Modeliste. Afrocop’s sly humor surfaces on the title “Les McCan't”—a reference to late, great soul-jazz keyboardist and Noel favorite Les McCann. After Brass’ spare, icily ruminative piano intro, Sells finesses more methodical funk drumming while Tulloss' bass provides subliminal, elastic cushioning. “The 'Les McCan't' thing was almost a joke,” Brass recalls. “I was just messing around, trying to come up with something on a piano. But the true, improvisational aspect of it came through.” Speaking of titles, Brass says that they “are either easy to come up with or extremely tedious and tough. I'm always writing and coming up with stuff from dreams, random streams of consciousness. A lot of those ideas are just me sitting with the music. We used to have a document with hundreds of possible track titles all of us had come up with. We would grab words off of there. It was crazy psychic wordplay, almost. You don't always want it to be straightforward. Afrocop's a Rorschach thing.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfrocop’s also a Miles\/Macero thing. They typically prune a massive amount of music into tighter pieces that hit with a more concentrated oomph. “Andy and I are huge fans of that school of listening,” Brass says, “so we approached [the album] a little like that—let it get weird here, let's give it some space there, let's let the congas shift the shape, let's add this to this part. Make it  cinematic, something that has relistenable value. It tells a story or can be adaptable to different settings.” Sells, in particular, spent much time editing hours and hours of recordings into the polished gems you hear on Afrocop. The Miles connection flares up on “Get In, Let's Ride,” which creeps in on chill, In A Silent Way keyboard whorls, then quickly shifts into a freaky electro-funk conflagration. The experimental electronic abstractions that kick off “Cyclical Solution” evoke another musical maverick—William S. Fischer, specifically his 1970 masterpiece, Circles. About halfway in, the bass and drums enter, along with synthetic strings, launching the track into space-funk territory. “That's the thing about Afrocop,” Brass says. “It feels like sometimes the music's in a weird territory because the music's always going. Sometimes you go into a weird space and you have to trust each other to get through it.” The stunning “Rare Belief” arose during Afrocop’s early days and proves that they existed on an exalted plane right from jump. It features some of Brass' most beautiful and crystalline playing, as his gorgeous, soulful piano intro leads into an indomitably hopeful funk strut. “We were cutting our teeth at Stepping Stone, a little bar in Ballard at the time, just to play and get better,” Brass remembers. “Carlos had just joined the band. Everything just clicked in that session, and you can hear it in that track. We're not trying to play a lot of notes. We were just trying to find a groove that locked. It comes out in different ways. It was so long ago, it was almost forgotten.” Afrocop had a long, circuitous gestation. Tulloss suffered the deaths of his brother and both parents during the pandemic’s early phase and Sells dealt with some health issues, started his own band, Select Level, and joined another, Mt Fog. In 2023, Brass became co-host of KEXP’s Jazz Theater show. Everyone in Afrocop has multiple projects brewing at any given moment, a testament to their abundance of creativity. All of these life changes, plus a voracious desire to perform live, delayed progress on this record. But the wait has been worth it—and then some. “[Afrocop’s] a vehicle of creation for us three,” Brass summarizes. “If you're not getting that angst out and you're building that up through your regular days on Earth, you need an [outlet for expression and catharsis]. All of us have so many ideas.

As an American producer\/DJ living in China, Womack has studiously assimilated Far East Asian musical elements into his \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced beatmaking science\u003c\/strong\u003e.

When the serenely beautiful flute motif by Joel Ricci (the L.B.'s, Soul's Path Ensemble, etc.) enters, the song ascends to the lofty realm of the titular avian in full flight.

Available for you, dear friend at a reasonable price ;) A kaleidoscopic journey into the psychedelic fringes of easy listening. Inspired by library music for industrial films, space-age pop, experimental jazz, exotica, and early synth pioneers, it’s Wolcott’s most sweeping and dreamlike work yet. Combining symphonic jazz-funk, hazy grooves, and avant-garde textures, the album crafts a playful, surreal, and atmospheric soundscape. Echoes of Pete Jolly’s Seasons, Alessandro Alessandroni, Charles Stepney, Esquivel, and Galt MacDermot ripple through this ode to an alternate future bathed in misplaced optimism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAll songs were written, produced, arranged, and recorded by Sean Wolcott at Soundview Analog Recorders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003cspan\u003eDrop Forging in Closed Dies \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. \u003cspan\u003eThe Shield That Holds the Sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. \u003cspan\u003eBirth of the Microprocessor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4. \u003cspan\u003eWhat’s New in Synthetic Crystals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5. \u003cspan\u003eMan and His Modular Habitats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6. \u003cspan\u003eLead\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Protector of Products and People\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7. \u003cspan\u003ePrinciples of Industrial Harmony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8. \u003cspan\u003eOil Refining\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Catalyst of Progress\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9. \u003cspan\u003eSurface Renewal Painting and Coating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10. \u003cspan\u003eDesigning Tomorrow’s Possibilities\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLAYERS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eKeyboards\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMicah Hulscher: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eFender Rhodes, Hammond C3, Harpsichord, Piano, \u003cbr\u003eRMI Electra-Piano, Wurlitzer 200A (1-10)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSean Wolcott: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eHarpsichord, Minimoog, Piano, Roland SH-2000 (4-5, 7-8, 10)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMario Luciano: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eYamaha CS-60 (4-5, 9-10)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTrevor Church: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eConn Electric Band, Minimoog (1, 5)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eReeds\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eJay Thomas: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eFlute (2-6, 8)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSusan Telford Boyd: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eFlute (5-6, 9-10)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eJoel Astley: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eHarmonica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e(6-7, 9-10)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eStrings\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSean Wolcott: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBass (1-2, 4-10) \/ Guitar (1-2, 8-10)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eVictoria Parker: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eViolin (2-10)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ePaul Osborne: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003eBass (3)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eJimmy James: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003eGuitar (3)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eVocals\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eZan Fiskum \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e(2-8, 10)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eLeon McQuay III: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003eCountdown (5)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ePercussion\u003cb\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTrevor Church: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eDrums, Congas, Shaker, Tambourine, Triangle (1-10)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Thematique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44996174446742,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/6390\/1846\/files\/SWLMFHILP1.png?v=1747275103"},{"product_id":"wxtm21","title":"GEL-SOL - \"Mystic Systems, Inc.\" LP [CINEMATIC\/LIBRARY] Wax Thématique #21","description":"\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0;
