Instrumental gems that capture a vibe, uplift our spirits, tug on our heartstrings, set a mood or just play in the background to any number of activities? As a person who pretty much wants to have music playing 24/7/365 I have an affinity for this style. Of course there's a vast array of “instrumental” music to be heard. From stoner and doom rock to ambient soundscapes, jazz to hiphop beats, collaged and sample-delica trip hop and electronic leaning grooves, this list is infinite.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">When I first was diving into the art of diggin in the crates there was always talk of library records amongst the heads schooling me but they never seemed to materialize. The reality is that by the time I was getting dusty fingers looking for records these elusive joints had already been snatched, sampled and stashed away by a generation or two before me.</span></p><br />

I can’t sit here and claim to be an expert on the style, but I can elaborate to say that these were often filled with seemingly simplistic but beautiful creations. Open drums, stunning potential for a perfect loop and just enough experimentation to keep people hooked for the next scene or track, depending on where you might hear it.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Lost to time, this is a niche market of instrumental music few have ever heard of, let alone sat down and devoured.

Amongst the names still to deliver their entry in the series are DJ Muggs, Karriem Riggins, Mario Luciano, Henkel and Joe Harrison. Each project has arrived with little fanfare and virtually no attention which is what prompted me to want to write this piece. This music is deserving of your time and ears.</span></p><br />

They span a multitude of styles, from up beat and funky, to deeply meditative and calm, hard and aggressive, sparse and quick. Press play and be ready for a journey.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If you are familiar with the artists you will not be surprised by what they deliver. JJ Whitefield does his usual African influenced grooves, Jake Ferguson & Malcolm Catto produce fuzzed out space rock, J-Zone shows up with his recent Du-Rites style of funk and breakbeats, Dan Ubick produces an awesome heavy soul vibe, Dan Hastie & Terin Ector pack a punch of funk rhythms and Gabriel Rowland channels latin infused sounds.</span></p><br />

I don't have time for all this. Well that is the wonderful thing about these albums, and instrumental projects in general. Let them soundtrack your day, your next dinner party, your next book, road trip, work out, whatever. These albums are perfect for it all. They play quick, they energize and intrigue. The tag line that has been delivered with all of them has been “listen, ponder and repeat.”</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As I’ve been sitting with them on their own and in a playlist on shuffle in preparation for this article I’ve found tunes perfect for meditation, driving, cooking, dancing and reading. But I’ve also felt at ease just sitting back and letting these sounds wash over me in deep contemplation. Nothing is intrusive here. At times the drums might shake you out of a trance, other times the steady pluck of a guitar string might put you in a trance. There is a healing element deeper than initially meets the ear when you first press play.</span></p><br />

I can see a house party on the Eastside of LA popping to Gabriel Rowlands compositions, picture a beat digger getting geeked as they drop a needle to one of J-Zone’s open drum solo’s, imagine a blaxploitation style car chase transpiring to Dan Ubick’s tunes, feel the spirits move within me to the power of Jake Ferguson & Malcolm Catto’s jams, get deeply in tune with my mind to one of JJ Whitefield's meditations and roam along the Mediterranean coast with some gypsies to Dan Hastie and Terin Ector’s creations.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Leave it to Madlib to select only the best for something he is associated with. The talent held within these projects is astounding. All parties have storied careers, perhaps not stardom and household name recognition, but the respect of their peers and the ability to tap into a well of talent and inspiration and put forth music that can’t be denied. Some projects are handled by the artist entirely, some are filled with their friends and associates just adding to the depth and energy.</span></p><br />

They leave you wanting more, yet not unsettled. Upon revisiting new elements capture the imagination and spark new trains of thought. The diversity held within these albums is unlike much of what you will hear this year or any other year anywhere else. They pull from such a vast source of creation, checking in with times long forgotten but also yet to come.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Source is an interesting thing to consider while pondering what this music offers. For me music is the source, it’s where all the love and energy of the world connects and expands. I truly believe in the healing powers of sound. There is ethereal movement transpiring within these projects. Inspired beyond comprehension, produced and delivered to us, so we can carry them forward into the universe, share them with friends and family, allow them to seep out into the cosmos and do the work necessary to calm these wild days we are living through.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I might just be typing a bunch of rhetoric, but it’s all meant to try and capture a slice of what is in store for you when you take the time to digest these projects and the next batch to come. I can only echo what has been presented from the beginning, creatives with free reign concocting what they feel in a moment of time. Don’t sleep. Listen, ponder, repeat.</span></p></span></div><p></p>Will Johnsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04935092380738326861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872449914519041257.post-39942670254478816682023-10-30T08:00:00.001-07:002023-11-27T12:43:07.510-08:00The Musik Lounge, Vol. 32<iframe frameborder="0" height="120" src="https://player-widget.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?hide_cover=1&feed=%2Fthemusiklounge%2Fthe-musik-lounge-vol-32%2F" width="100%"></iframe>

Tired, frustrated, feeling the weight of the world and the shifting energies that arise as the seasons, planets and weather transition. Yet, there is still music. Exciting, captivating, energizing even if not leading me to words for y’all to peruse. Alas I sat in my head long enough and to the document I arrive.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-3373a66f-7fff-7c8a-7f88-136978a2c6ce"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Funnily enough, and perhaps something that will prove to be a theme of these <a href="https://themusiklounge.blogspot.com/2023/09/sonic-gardens-september-23.html" target="_blank">SG missives</a>, I’m currently listening to an awful record. Why, do you ask? Well, I added it to my <a href="https://music.apple.com/profile/wwjohnsen" target="_blank">Apple music library</a> at some point. There is an interesting power in sitting through an album. Perhaps it’s just me indulging my stubborn side? I know I will delete it immediately upon completion, but I will sit through it and reflect. What happened to hiphop? Am I just getting old? Is it my sobriety that makes me look upon this sleazy, intoxicated sound differently? If you are dying to know what album I’m talking about, <a href="mailto:wwjohnsen@gmail.com" target="_blank">hit me up</a>.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I do my best to not dismiss modern rap. I accept that I am older and that my lack of substance intake is certainly something that can shape how my ears hear. It’s deeper than that though. I’ve shifted my mentality towards life. It’s not all dark and gloomy, even if that is what it sounded like above. There is a beauty to life that can’t be described, captured, or even written about. Hope. Even in these strange times.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p>

Who cares if you are underground or mainstream when there is really just one lane: Big tech. Do you play the game or not? Not all sounds are meant for the masses, to be commodified and neatly packaged. But the distribution today is so different. <a href="https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/is-bandcamp-as-we-know-it-over/" target="_blank">I fear what that looks like should Bandcamp crumble</a>. Will something else arise? Will artists cease trusting and just do it via their own websites? Many of the most vital and new won’t have those resources. Why is patronage of the arts a lost societal trait?</span></p><br />

Seriously couldn’t have gotten better news that day. What does that say about me? A reissue of a modern Jazz masterpiece was the highlight of my day? Music is in my soul, I love this world of sounds, the webs, the upliftment, the power.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">That’s the key to continuing to seek, to why I listen in full even when I’m unimpressed. You never know what you might miss. I can’t discard something without considering it first. Even if it’s just for one song, shit even one second, one note. As I’ve returned to collecting mp3’s I’ve taken to creating edits, chopping out pieces of songs I don’t like, keeping what I do. Is that blasphemy? Arrogance? Am I just co-opting the vision? Whatever, it’s for my personal library - I’ll listen to what I want.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yes and no. I do listen a lot. But I wonder sometimes is it what I really want to be listening to? What would it be like to have the same rotation of albums that bring you joy and to return to them incessantly? <a href="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/69hqkUYRaq1YBEoVmD3TlA?theme=0&t=0" target="_blank">Henry Rollins talks about his listening habits</a>, referring to carbohydrate listening and protein listening. It always resonated with me. Of course I don’t have the luxury of his situation to be entrenched. Essentially he spends his weekdays digging into new to him sounds and his weekends are for the things he knows and loves, going to such an extreme that sometimes he listens to the same 7” for hours.</span></p><br />

I can find inspiration and ideas anywhere, but I have to find my own path. I’m happy with my listening habits, the sounds that cross my ears, new and old, random and selected. There is always motivation to have the newest, dopest cuts for my radio show, but really I just try to let the music do the selecting. I was asked recently by a <a href="https://ktqa.org" target="_blank">fellow DJ</a> if my show was always freestyled and after considering the question I had to say basically yes. I have a handful of songs in my head that I plan to play and a bag of wax with me, but once 1 o’clock has struck and I’m on the air, all plans are tossed aside and it’s about what speaks up.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To that end, and to continue another theme I hope maintains as I log more of these columns, I would like to share with you a piece from a recent show that really excited me. It wasn’t pre-planned, a couple of the songs present I hadn’t heard in months. At some points in this 14 minute collage there are four songs playing on top of each other. It starts and ends with some funky Jazz - new and old. It features a song from the Beatles, an ambient soundscape, some haunting billy woods vocals and something from <a href="https://espacioespecial.bandcamp.com/album/espacio-especial" target="_blank">Carlos Ni</a></span><a href="https://espacioespecial.bandcamp.com/album/espacio-especial" target="_blank"><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(54, 54, 54); color: #363636;">ñ</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">o</span></span></a><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> that was brand new to my ears. </span><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4ekzmxau6j9uhy4g8xek9/DJ-Abstractions-Enter-Tha-Spocky-House-of-Cross-Revolution-Gone-By.mp3?rlkey=wy1q1dojin3f75vol5vpd1f5l&dl=0" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">Download it</a><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and </span><a href="mailto:wwjohnsen@gmail.com" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">let me know what you think!</a></p><br />

Hopefully that includes some discovery, some enjoyment, some soothing, some ecstatic and some loud sounds. Even if you are having an off week press play via whatever sound delivery system you prefer and drift away. There is magic being performed, created and released constantly - we truly are in an age of amazing manifestation. I wonder why that is?</span></p></span></div>Will Johnsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04935092380738326861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872449914519041257.post-24868958549176203992023-10-23T14:42:00.002-07:002023-11-20T10:53:29.673-08:00The Musik Lounge, Vol. 31<iframe frameborder="0" height="120" src="https://player-widget.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?hide_cover=1&feed=%2Fthemusiklounge%2Fthe-musik-lounge-vol-31%2F" width="100%"></iframe>

white-space-collapse: preserve;">As I was contemplating this piece, sitting with the three albums being inspected, I was struck with a lot of thoughts around my journey to Jazz. <a href="https://themusiklounge.blogspot.com/2023/09/the-six-sounds-of-blues-ideology.html" target="_blank">Recently I mentioned</a> my first hearing <i>Kind of Blue</i> and my inability to grasp the beauty of it at the time. I was a high schooler who was consumed with rap just beginning to step away from the stars of the era and digging into an underground that was vibrant and diverse. I had more digesting to do.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-e16e12e9-7fff-7ab1-a8e6-1fef4b3dab1d"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This is a repeated pattern throughout my sonic history. I find some music that strikes a chord and I dig in. The napster fueled download era was a dream. Then came the blog era which also rewarded this kind of deep dive. I was trapped in a purgatory of my own making as streaming took rise and was fairly tuned out from anything that wasn’t equally dark and hopeless.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As I emerged from that darkness and began hearing names I hadn’t heard of before, exploring this world of modern Jazz became the new quest. Initially it seemed too vast, too much. But I slowed down and let things arise as they might, sat with projects longer, investigated labels with a different ear, one of excitement and hope that mirrored the changes arising in my day to day life.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Simultaneously, I was reconnecting with <a href="https://www.discogs.com/user/wwjohnsen" target="_blank">my vinyl collection</a> which was spared sale in my destitute state. In it I found a multitude of styles of this music. Most of it was bought cheap in the early aughts with dreams of finding the next dope sample. How was I to know that almost two decades later it would both save my life and open me up to a modern worldwide renaissance in the genre.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I never quite know how to answer the question of how I discover new music. I <a href="https://www.passionweiss.com/" target="_blank">read</a> <a href="https://pitchfork.com/" target="_blank">a lot</a> <a href="https://thequietus.com/" target="_blank">of</a> <a href="https://daily.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">websites</a>, <a href="https://bandcamp.com/wwjohnsen" target="_blank">I’m a Bandcamp addict</a>, I <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01fm4ss" target="_blank">tune into</a> <a href="https://www.nts.live/" target="_blank">radio shows</a>. I buy new records and read the liner notes. In this interconnected age it all feels very exactly that, connected and merged to a point of blur.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As I started reading the newly launched <a href="https://www.waxpoetics.com/" target="_blank">Wax Poetics</a> I was delighted to see a promotion for a relatively new Jazz focused magazine out of Finland.

While I’ve done my fair share of exploring corners of the globe seeking this new Jazz sound, I hadn’t made it there. I was intrigued by the presentation of their work, the <a href="https://wejazzmagazine.newsstand.co.uk/" target="_blank">quality of their magazine</a> and their dedication to pressing wax. I started pressing play and was even more delighted. Where had I been, how had I missed this label? I had a lot of catching up to do, and the reality is I will never absorb their entire catalog.</span></p><br />

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">When I first put on Gard Nilssen’s Supersonic Orchestra live album <i><a href="https://wejazzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/family" target="_blank">Family</a></i> I was blown away. Big Band style Jazz is not a style I’m very familiar with. I’m unsure of where they fall in the tradition but that doesn’t matter for my listening pleasure. What I do know is there is an undeniable energy flowing within this set.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The opening salvo of horns screams for attention and the fun just keeps on grooving. Featuring three drummers and EVERYONE credited with percussion contributions there is rhythm forever. This record swings and sways, holding space for joy and celebration. When I first read that it was a 17 piece band I was taken aback. I’m used to four and five piece groups, perhaps even the occasional six to eight piece group but a band this large and this dialed into each other is awesome.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The album title feels fitting here as it is clear that these players are familiar and tight knit. I can only imagine the amount of fun they have on the stage and sheer pandemonium that takes place in the crowd while watching them do their thing. You have to move to this music, you have to smile to this music. At times it may feel cacophonous but it always remains moving and flowing. The interplay between everyone, the room they give each other to do their own thing and then come together, it’s inspiring and uplifting. Even in the quiet and somber moments there is love reverberating outward.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Throughout my journey with Jazz this has always been the inspiration and drive to dig deeper. When I first heard <i>Kind of Blue</i> I wasn’t listening for the emotions an instrument and its player can convey, I doubt I even grasp that concept. As I’ve dug into this modern scene I’ve been searching for vibes and energies, be them joyous, mystic or something else ineffable. I first found it in hiphop beats, and today my ears feel attuned for vibrations that are communicating with the soul.</span></p><br />

Comprised of <a href="https://www.pettereldh.com/" target="_blank">Peter Eldh</a> on bass, <a href="https://www.kitdownesmusic.com/" target="_blank">Kit Downes</a> on piano and <a href="https://www.whirlwindrecordings.com/james-maddren/" target="_blank">James Maddren</a> on drums, this record is beautiful. As I’ve listened through it repeatedly I’ve felt as though this is the first project on We Jazz that fits right in with so much of what I’ve been discovering lately. That is not to say that it is a carbon copy of what so many others are doing, more so that it is playing with the same kind of notes, tones and rhythms prevalent today.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">There's a cohesion to the project as a whole which I suspect stems from the players familiarity with one another and that the record was recorded in one day, with little rehearsal. The most catching thing to my ear is their playing with rhythm. They capture a swing that isn’t easy to do. Songs feel like they are dancing. Beyond this irresistible pull of motion, each player feels a part of the whole. Downes' piano oscillates between vibrant and melancholy. Eldh’s bass is pronounced and impactful. Maddren’s drums are fast and full.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The Betrayal screams “<a href="https://dillati.me/" target="_blank">Dilla Time</a>” to me. There is a vibrancy to their sound and a life within the songs that is unignorable. This may be due to how much they pack into them. Solo’s are sparse, the majority of the twelve tracks on the album are under three minutes long yet there is a hypnotic effect produced from the very beginning. Every song feels like its own universe. The album doesn’t get old. With each listen a new element pops into your ear and things feel brand new again. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This is what is so exciting to me about all these new sounds that abound, the freshness to which the style is being approached. The depth of creativity that could be blasting out of your speakers at any given moment is invigorating. When I first started digging into this modern Jazz world I was just looking for some instrumental gems to read a book to, I didn’t think I was stumbling into a realm of adventurous, new audio pathways. Around the world today there are pockets of this new jazz sound, all pulling on similar threads but executing them with the uniqueness of a world inhabited by 8 billion individualized souls.</span></p><br />

Composed pre-pandemic during an artist residency at <a href="https://westernfront.ca/" target="_blank">Western Front </a>in Vancouver, BC the music was shelved during lock down and finally recorded in June of ‘22. Of note, it was recorded in the Grand Lux Hall at Western Front, a full circle presentation.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><a href="http://www.dariusjonesmusic.com/" target="_blank">Darius Jones</a>, composer and saxophonist, is the leader here but this is a fully integrated affair with the other five players. Upon first hearing about this release, a joint venture between We Jazz and Brooklyn’s <a href="https://northernspyrecords.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Northern Spy</a>, I was taken aback by things that really shouldn’t and ultimately didn’t matter. A Jazz release featuring strings? What’s the deal with the weird title? </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Well, to the first, yes a Jazz release with strings. Two violinists, cello and bass. Not the first time or probably even the thousandth time this has happened. Not sure why it turned me off initially. And the title? I don’t have any answers but who cares? This music is awesome!</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">It’s dark, it’s intense, it’s loud, chaotic and beautiful. There is a tension throughout this project, a contrast of power as the string quartet and drummer play their parts, but when Jones comes in to blow his horn all the fighting of where my ears want to listen is eradicated. His saxophone playing is aggressive, channeling the spirits of the past and speaking forth in a universal language of tradition not heard in much of the current landscape of modern Jazz. Or at least not in the realms I’ve discovered so far.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">fLuXkit Vancouver (</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: line-through; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">i</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: line-through; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">t</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: line-through; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">s</span></i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i> suite but sacred)</i> might best be listened to with the lights off, in the dead of winter, eyes closed to fully envision what is unfolding. It’s not for the light hearted, it’s the kind of Jazz my mom will ask me to turn off and my former roommate would give me a side eye for playing at 3 in the morning. But underneath it all is an upheaval of emotion, much like the other projects looked at today, albeit a very different set. The movements and shifts, the utilization of the strings to shimmer some light through the caverns of heft and weight, this music is deep and enchanting. Again, not one to be quickly digested and discarded, best returned too regularly to witness its expansion and growth.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">These three albums have little in common sonically. If it hadn’t been for their release via We Jazz I’m unsure of when, or even if, I would ever have heard them. I’m grateful I did. It’s exciting to hear such disparate records all convey this same idea of intense emotion via instrumental Jazz. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As I dig deeper, ignite new flames, open up to new concepts and embrace this journey of sonic discovery I’m continually blessed with more rabbit holes to investigate and trips for my ears to take. One simple promotional campaign took me all the way to Helsinki where I’ve been caught by a free flowing faucet of music. I’ve long let go of the notion that I could hear all the music ever, today I relish the moments I get to spend with any new piece, and am excited by all that can continue to be found.</span></p></span><p></p>Will Johnsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04935092380738326861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872449914519041257.post-21926608859635883182023-10-16T08:27:00.001-07:002023-11-13T13:45:51.559-08:00The Musik Lounge, Vol. 30<iframe frameborder="0" height="120" src="https://player-widget.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?hide_cover=1&feed=%2Fthemusiklounge%2Fthe-musik-lounge-vol-30%2F" width="100%"></iframe><div><br /></div><div>Another week, another edition of The Musik Lounge!

He makes uplifting, soulful, joyous, energetic music - even when it’s calm and ethereal.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As I’ve traveled a new path in my life over the last nearly five years, cultivating and developing spiritual and meditative practices to enhance and enlarge my essence, music has been intrinsically connected. As a doorway into the cosmos, a guide towards something greater, a companion through the dark and light moments.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A few years ago when I was discovering <a href="https://www.intlanthem.com/" target="_blank">International Anthem</a> and this vast modern Jazz world we are blessed to be present with currently, I was thrilled when I saw Carlos’ name pop up in their que of releases. The album was <i><a href="https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/chicago-waves" target="_blank">Chicago Waves</a></i> with <a href="https://miguelatwood-ferguson.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Miguel Atwood-Ferguson</a> and it is beautiful.

There was trepidation and fear and doubt. But I’m grateful to say that I sent the email and Carlos responded in kind with a willingness to get on the phone and chat.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">He was gracious with his time, excited to discuss many things. It was awesome to hear he is digging <a href="https://armandhammer.bandcamp.com/album/we-buy-diabetic-test-strips" target="_blank">the new Armand Hammer album</a>, to listen to stories of his friendships and the creative energies he keeps himself inspired by.

I feel like I came in pretty activated and aware, but when it really started to take more form and motion and action and activity and follow through, there are two things that I can point to. One of them is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%ADch_Nh%E1%BA%A5t_H%E1%BA%A1nh" target="_blank">Thich Nhat Hahn</a>. I was really young, maybe like in junior high school reading his books. I got one of his books from an aunt of mine and it was always really meaningful to me, thinking about meditation, walking meditation, about breaths, just about awareness really. Around that same time I was very deeply into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Tongues" target="_blank">Native Tongues</a>, <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/q-tip/13833" target="_blank">Q-Tip</a> and would hear things that felt like they were related. Also around the same time, I had a cousin who was exposing me to <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/john-coltrane/120199" target="_blank">John Coltrane</a> and lots of other music that I would listen to and enjoy in a way but not really understand but listen to because I looked up to him so much that I wanted to be up on it and it was meaningful to me. I think those were really big activations for me. There were a lot of things musically that were guiding me, that I was actively looking to for guidance from. Everything from <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/public-enemy/36954" target="_blank">Public Enemy </a>and <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/krs-one/397029" target="_blank">KRS-One</a> productions, the Native Tongues was huge. I remember seeing </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ny631yQ-DM" target="_blank">Do The Right Thing</a></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> in the movie theater when I was, I think I was in like 6th grade, I was pretty young, I was probably like 11. But I was so into music and I was so into movies and had a pretty open, available ability to check things out and I really remember the score. I would later become a huge <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Lee_(musician)" target="_blank">Bill Lee</a> fan, get to meet Bill Lee and get to hear his <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/the-natural-spiritual-orchestra/203793542" target="_blank">Natural Spiritual Orchestra</a> play several times. Obviously a really big Public Enemy fan and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bomb_Squad" target="_blank">Bomb Squad</a> fan, but I feel like in all of that, like in all of those intersections there’s things, if you are caring to feel them and understand them, that are just kind of like buzzing and sparkling of what I’m all about. Not just that but definitely those are very formative things for me.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Is music intrinsically tied in with your spirituality?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I don’t really see them as different. I feel like music is a strange term because what it means or what it’s roots are in this idea of a muse or potentially being inspired I totally feel, but I feel like music itself is a limiting term because a lot of the definitions of music, or of what people think that music is when they are training to be a musician or to write music or to play music is not the whole picture for me. But the spirituality for me is like completely sonic and vibrational. I mean that in a non physical sense and in a physical sense. It’s like metaphysically humming and spinning and buzzing. There’s a feeling, to me, or kind of an awareness of radiance, of frequency, of resonance. These are things to me that I also relate to this term music that isn’t necessarily universally agreed upon or understood, but I see them that way so I see them as completely the same thing. I don’t think spirituality is any one thing. I don’t think that way about music either, but I think of music and spirituality as, for me, very much the same cause I hear music in my thoughts, and I hear music in the forest. Maybe that’s not just music, maybe that’s also the spiritual energy, so to me they are the same thing because at a certain point you stop trying to define them or trying to name them or label them, even though you might want to talk with your friends about it or you might want to be able to articulate your thoughts and feelings about it so that might put you on a quest to try and really figure it out for yourself but for me I would say that they are the same.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I read somewhere that you don’t view yourself or your music as healing but you recognize that people may take it that way.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Well people sometimes talk to me about it in that way too. When I was describing what the new album title means I decided to give an example of that. I can’t decide for anyone how they are going to feel about anything, but I can create and offer what I’m feeling and share it and release it. I think the thing for me about the terminology of spirituality or things related to ceremony or shaman energy is just how framed it is by a lot of people in religion or religious practices. Things that have to do with rules and guidelines that I just don’t have, that I don’t think about and that I have really no interest in. There’s really this sense of like the aliveness of the music, how it’s not oriented in any particular form and in that sense it can kind of go anywhere and it can be anything and it can be contributed to and with by anyone. Somebody doesn’t need to know how to play anything in particular to be able to meet me somewhere. If they are themselves and they are open, and they might be a shaman themself, very specifically, or they might be from a particular tradition of music or a particular tradition of life but the meeting with me is gonna be how really yourself are you? How real are you, and in that, then we can create anything. I kind of feel like I’m aware that I'm making intense energetic music. Whether it’s more calm and quiet or whether it’s more rhythmic and maybe just more powerful in various ways and those things can be both, what I just said can be interchangeable, can be very powerful and also very calm. I think this terminology of I’m just chillin, on fire - it’s appropriate, it doesn’t have to be defined, it’s going.</span></p><br />

Fire is of, and in, and serves and also leads all the other elements. So if we are talking about an elemental concept, to me, water has a lot of fire in it and fire has a lot of water in it and fire couldn't really function the way we know it to function without the earth and without the air, so it would need a platform, not always, but largely as a base. The air and the fire are completely dancing together and the air and the water are totally related and the earth and the air are related and that is a really magical, spiritual dance. I think that they do go together. Fire can also be incredibly calming. As much as it is potentially destructive to humans or to various environments it also brings magical new life. Without fire there are a lot of things that wouldn’t get ignited to even grow.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Do you view all the and friend records as their own separate entities or are they all just you?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">They are just happening. I like them, I make them with the intention of having more music that I would actually want to listen to, that I would want to share. I like to get really excited about the music so that I feel like it’s worth sharing. I feel very driven to do it. It’s highly collaborative and a lot of the people that are involved don’t necessarily know exactly what it’s going to be or what it’s for, they just sort of trust me and trust themselves and that is something that I have earned over a long time of working with people. I feel great about it. I think some of the pieces maybe are their own pieces but I’m really oriented to making albums and the albums kind of speak, they start saying like ‘oh, oh I want this’ or ‘I want to feel this’ or ‘I want to be kind of like highlighted by that.’ I’m just creating all the time so anything could potentially be in the queue for an album sequence and that album sequence when I feel like it’s really what it is and what it wants to be then I turn it in and say let's put this one out. I'm kind of constantly doing that.</span></p><br />

Is that wrong? Are you creating songs specifically for a specific project?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I think it’s both of what you just said. I think what you said is totally correct except that I’m also creating them for a specific project. I might record every concert that I play in a period and something from one of those concerts might just jump right out at me and be like ‘Yo, I need to be on this album!’ The last piece that’s on the new album was recorded at the album release concert for my last International Anthem album </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><a href="https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/extra-presence" target="_blank">Extra Presence</a></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">. We did this concert, it was a really unique group, <a href="https://kamasiwashington.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Kamasi</a> came and played with us and it was beautiful and this piece just, as it was happening I knew I was going to revisit it. I didn’t know exactly what it was going to be for. I don’t feel like they are compilations but they are compiled. But they are more like, they are kind of like ecosystems, little universes, they are speaking up about how they want to be connected to something else. I think a compilation can do that, but a compilation can also do something else which is like be more academic, like these are all songs by a particular artist and they are compiled together, it could be like a best of, you could have a best of that is one of the best albums ever made because someone just happens to sequence the songs so well that you are just like ‘wow, I want to listen to this over and over and over again.’ That is the best kind of compilation, something where it’s not just so much about the concept but it’s about the complimentary energy and sounds of the pieces and I think that is an artform. This isn’t so unlike that but it is more also. Like if the title comes to me and I'm really tuning into what speaks that title? There is a process but it is very intuitive and in some ways a very fast process, it’s not like a process that I would say is complicated for me.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Did you and <a href="https://www.intlanthem.com/artists/ben-lamar-gay" target="_blank">Ben LaMar Gay</a> know each other before you got connected with International Anthem?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">No. We met through the guy who owns and runs International Anthem, Scottie McNiece. He has two amazing partners who are also co-owners/founders with him. One is David Allen who masters all of my International Anthem albums and another guy who is called Dave [</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">ed: Vettraino</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">] who is based in Chicago who runs a lot of the operation from Chicago. I met Ben through working with Scottie and <a href="https://www.intlanthem.com/artists/makaya-mccraven" target="_blank">Makaya McCraven</a>. I had met Ben maybe one other time and was already aware of him and a fan of his but we played together maybe three or four times, because I was on Makaya’s album </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><a href="https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/universal-beings" target="_blank">Universal Beings</a></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> and there were a couple of concerts that were organized by International Anthem of everyone that played on those records. So everyone from London, New York, Chicago and LA all together at the same time which was really interesting. And there were another couple times I think we played together. I’ve definitely been a fan of Ben and really stoked to know him through this relationship with International Anthem.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A lot of what International Anthem is doing, what <a href="http://www.shabakahutchings.com/" target="_blank">Shabaka Hutchings</a> is doing along with the rest of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwCCfWiYk2s" target="_blank">London Jazz scene</a> and then there is Kamasi in LA, there are a lot of different things happening with “jazz” music currently. To me it feels like it’s gone full circle to where there are these cats playing instruments but inspired by hiphop, beats, does that resonate with you?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Well it fully resonates with me because it’s true, and it fully resonates with me because I’ve lived that also. I don’t know how far back you have gone with my music but I’ve had a lot of experience with hiphop and I don’t know, just a lot of different music. I think what’s happened is that there is just like a broadness, an openness where these forms, even if they are mastered by people, like Kamasi or Shabaka, they are not holding themselves to the forms, they are not making albums that have any form, they are not saying ‘I need to make an album that sounds like this’ for any reason. They are going to make an album that sounds like whatever it sounds like for the reason that they feel like making it. To me that is a very liberating reality. When you asked me about my spiritual path and I mentioned Q-Tip, I think Q-Tip is one of the people who ushered this in in our age. I think he is a very vital and important, prophetic person in music and in the world. I think, everything is everything and everyone is influencing everyone and they should. This idea that anything should be beholden to a specific genre or form or tradition is just not accurate. I respect peoples traditions and I respect people's forms and I respect people doing whatever they want to do but I’m gonna do my version of it and someone else that you might like is going to do their version of it and of course they are going to be influenced and influencing others and that is kind of the point of it. I also think back in the day, that was the case too. It is just part of a continuum. Whether you can hear it in their sound or not, but I think you can. I just feel like it’s a circulation. It’s a rotation. To me it’s really like anything goes. I think the most innovative artists in every genre are always showing us that.</span></p><br />

There is an album that will probably only really be available in Europe by Carlos Nino, <a href="https://idrisackamoor.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Idris Ackamoor</a> and <a href="https://natemercereau.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Nate Mercereau</a>. The vinyl and cassette will primarily be available through the label and distributor <a href="https://www.rushhour.nl/" target="_blank">Rush Hour</a>. I don’t expect it to be in too many shops in the US but it will be in Europe and Japan a lot. I released an anthology of a band I had back in the day, the band was called <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/build-an-ark/32301212" target="_blank">Build An Ark</a> - if you haven’t heard of that group I highly recommend <a href="https://www.dustygroove.com/item/143536/Build-An-Ark:Revision-An-Anthology-3LP-set-2023-Record-Store-Day-Release" target="_blank">the anthology</a> they released, I think they did an excellent job and it’s something that I produced, it came out in April on Record Store Day. And then a couple of projects that I don’t talk about, can’t really talk about because they have more specific campaigns that are coming. But there are already like eight or nine other records that are either finished or being finished that will come out in the next half a year, maybe between now and mid 2024. It’s just nonstop. I would say that the dump lords like <a href="https://www.mach-hommy.com/" target="_blank">Mach-Hommy</a>, <a href="https://thagodfahim.com/" target="_blank">Tha God Fahim</a> and people like my homie <a href="https://knxwledge.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Knxwledge</a> and various other artists who are just down to release music all the time, that’s an ethos I have had and grown up with. I’ve had a long term friendship and close camaraderie with <a href="https://madlib.bandcamp.com/music" target="_blank">Madlib</a> and he is another person that kind of set off this whole idea in modern times of I’m gonna make music and release it. I had mentioned to you that at my album release concert a contemporary and dear brother of mine, <a href="https://samgendel.bandcamp.com/music" target="_blank">Sam Gendel</a>, was playing and Sam releases multiple full length albums every year. I’m just in that zone, I just make a lot of music and I put it out and I have great partnerships with labels that are interested in working with me which I feel very honored by. But even if you look at a label like <a href="https://ecmrecords.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">ECM</a>, which is a kind of universally beloved label, and you look at how many albums in a particular year <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/keith-jarrett/72348" target="_blank">Keith Jarrett</a> might have released or <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/pat-metheny/113526" target="_blank">Pat Methany</a> might have released or some combination of <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jack-dejohnette/125516" target="_blank">Jack DeJohnette</a> and <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/dave-holland/2890370" target="_blank">Dave Holland</a> and <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/paul-motian/5324392" target="_blank">Paul Motian</a>, I don’t know, like so many other artists, they are just constantly releasing albums. <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/gunter-hampel/26102124" target="_blank">Gunter Hampel</a>, who is the father of the singer <a href="https://cavanalee.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Cavana Lee</a> who is on a lot of my new album, and Gunter had his own label and released constantly. <a href="https://sunrastrut.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Sun Ra Arkestra</a>, I mean <a href="https://sunramusic.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Sun Ra</a> himself, he oversaw the release of like, several hundred albums in his time and had many many labels around the world releasing albums and some of them were all in like clusters. I’m just more like that. I’m just like if people don’t get it it’s cool, I don’t do it just to do it, I do it because it’s naturally, truly who I am and how I feel and like I said I have these outlets which I feel very blessed by but I feel like I would just do it myself if no one else wanted to do it and I would do it in any format that was the most meaningful and accessible. I don’t just press vinyl to have vinyl because vinyl is horrible for the environment, I mean streaming is horrible for the environment too, so, there are a lot of issues in and around how the music is distributed but I try to make everything as meaningful as possible so that it is worthy of those resources.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Hearing that you have something going on with Idris Ackamoor is very exciting, that’s pretty awesome.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Yeah it’s a full length album that will be out in December. I have the test pressings, I don’t know when they are going to announce it. Idris, Nate and I have played I think 5 concerts together at this point and we just have a thing.

I’m constantly collecting music. It’s just kind of a vibe. I’m not a hoarder at all. I have a very respectable, concise, LP collection and I have a very, very small 45 collection. If you saw my record collection you’d be like ‘oh he is one of those guys,’ it's kind of meticulous, it’s like exact. I don’t mess around at all. I don’t mess around with bum corners, I don’t mess around, like my stuff is cared for deeply. It’s funny because sometimes people will be like ‘well, I only spin vinyl’ and I’m like ‘oh yeah, that’s cool, that’s good.’ I wouldn’t bring my vinyl to a place that was too wet, too moist, too hot, too dusty, too whatever. Like for me, I care about the LPs. I think a lot of them, especially the very collectible ones, are like artifacts. I know a lot of elders and a lot of the people whose music that I love and collect are people that I’ve met and known. Everyone from <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/alice-coltrane/72553" target="_blank">Alice Coltrane</a> to <a href="https://pharoahsanders.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Pharoah Sanders</a> to a lot of the hiphop artists we are talking about, <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/gil-scott-heron/315331" target="_blank">Gil Scott-Heron</a> comes to mind, I worked with him for a long time. I have a small collection compared to some of my friends who have a lot of records and I care for my records probably as good as any of them whether they have a big or small collection, whether they are like a master turntablist like <a href="https://jrocc.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">J. Rocc</a> or <a href="https://cutchemist.bandcamp.com/music" target="_blank">Cut Chemist</a> who I’m close with, both of those guys, those guys have a lot more records than me and I also have like a very, I don’t know, I love my collection, it’s awesome.</span></p><br />

I am very much about, I did a radio show for twenty years. I like to support my friends who make music, I like to support elders and the various people who I don’t know around the world who are making music. I think people buying records is rad because it keeps the record stores going and keeps a whole energy going but I don’t know if we need millions of copies of any new contemporary records by any mega pop stars. I don’t know if the boom is more of a trend in something decorative or if it’s actually something they are listening too. I still think the majority of people who buy vinyl are not listening to their music primarily on vinyl. But yeah I think it’s cool. I wish everyone well in their journey. I have a friend, he listens to music on a Hi-Fi System that is so tricked out and expensive and will only listen to it that way and I have friends who have busted ass records who are incredible DJs and they do amazing wonderful things with records that other friends of mine wouldn’t even touch. I think it’s just really about a person's personal connection to it and how they want to use it but I am into using it. I was talking about how snobby I am in a way about condition but I still play em.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I heard you and J.

I’ll send you a photo, he wrote this beautiful dedication on the test press that he gave to me when I went to his show a few years later and he wrote something on there like ‘to my mentor in all of this Sun Ra stuff.’ Now listen, J Rocc is a GOAT of DJing, he is one of the greatest of all time, he is also a little bit older than me, he is someone I grew up looking up to. He is somebody who was on the radio for years an hour or two after my show was done. I used to think to myself ‘hey, I got nothing on this dudes mixing so my radio show better be really good because if he is listening I want him to be like yo that show was dope, now I’m gonna go do what I do.’ I consider him like a real DJ artist whereas I’m a selector. Very different. We’ve always gotten along really well. I have the most love for him. But I think he kinda did his thing with that Sun Ra mix and there are just so many compilations out there. I think the things we would have released have probably all been released since then and so there isn’t really a need for another comp. I think J Rocc’s mix kinda just did it and I know that was partially in tribute to <a href="https://rasgtheafrikanspaceprogram.bandcamp.com/music" target="_blank">Ras G</a> as well. I was definitely involved in that quartet of Madlib, J Rocc, Ras G in regard to being a very dedicated, avid Sun Ra fan and collector. My radio show for 20 years was called Spaceways Radio.</span></p><br />

We used to see each other on the bus a lot, the La Brea bus and I think he might have been coming to places like Aaron’s but I met him in the earlier era of Aaron’s, not the era of Aaron’s that is known in the beat era. This is more like the mid 90s. He was a little bit younger than me, I’d say I probably met him around 97-98-99, I had already had a radio show that he was listening to. He was just really cool. I didn’t really know much about what he was doing but he was someone I would see at a record store or on the bus or at an event. I used to put on major concerts in LA in the 90s with luminaries that I was playing on the radio like <a href="https://jazzdispensary.bandcamp.com/album/harlem-bush-music-uhuru" target="_blank">Gary Bartz NTU Troop</a>, <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/gene-mcdaniels/20385241" target="_blank">Eugene McDaniels</a>, Gil Scott-Heron, <a href="https://thebrianjackson.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Brian Jackson</a>, <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/yusef-lateef/55640" target="_blank">Yusef Lateef</a>, Pharoah Sanders, etc, etc. Ras definitely knew about all of that and he was DJing from time to time or maybe regularly at a certain point at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Blowed" target="_blank">Project Blowed</a>, so I would say we became friends later, like past 99, when <a href="https://www.dublab.com/" target="_blank">Dublab</a> really started taking off. But I knew him for a few years before that.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I heard a quote from you, you were equating the world and living life as if dropping into a wave and in there you said “Part of doing it is also not doing it.” That just really resonated with me, do you remember saying that, do you have any more elaboration to that idea?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Yeah, what that relates to is that if you are alive and you are living and you are in it, then that is part of you having this most ultimate experience of whatever it might be that you are envisioning like catching the wave of your life or catching sets of waves that are the waves of your life or catching eternally the vibration of how it feels to be that stoked. So sometimes people are feeling really disconnected and dysregulated and disjointed and fractured and my main thing is stay in the water, stay in whatever that is for you, whatever the metaphor of it is. You can get out and be on the beach in this metaphor as well but don’t not be oriented towards that life, that living, the living. If you are alive, be alive. The concept behind that is just sort of the down time is part of the up time, they are not separate. Like I would never go to the ocean and be bummed, like ‘man it’s too stormy, it’s too choppy, it’s too cold, it’s too hot.’ I’d just be like ‘dude I’m at the ocean!’ Whatever it is, whatever the experience is, it's part of this maybe bigger desire to connect with it in the most magical way. I don’t see it as like I didn’t get to do the thing that I most wanted to do, I just see it all as one.</span></p></span>Will Johnsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04935092380738326861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872449914519041257.post-57960825094690701472023-10-09T13:39:00.005-07:002023-10-14T15:14:36.597-07:00The Musik Lounge, Vol. 29: Carlos Niño Interview<iframe frameborder="0" height="120" src="https://player-widget.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?hide_cover=1&feed=%2Fthemusiklounge%2Fthe-musik-lounge-vol-29-carlos-nino-interview%2F" width="100%"></iframe><div><br /></div><div>As the title says, this weeks show features slices of a conversation I had with Carlos Niño!
