Lauded as a modal and spiritual jazz fusion opus, Son Of Nyx found favour with Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier, Rebecca Vasmant, BBC6 Music's' Cerys Matthews and Deb Grant, was a Jazz FM’ Album of the Week. Building upon that highly original sound concept, Wave Theory draws from the jazz fusion movements of the 70s and 80s and conjures up textured soundscapes rich with cosmic synths, soaring vocals and deep jazz funk, and sees Tamil once again joining forces with Son of Nyx contributors Rita Satch and Daniel Mougerman, plus new collaborators and special guests including Lance Ferguson and celebrated trumpeter, friend Audrey Powne. Listeners can expect the same modal experiments, driving percussion and cosmic synths of Son of Nyx as well as new and exhilarating experiments in electric string instrumentation. Across all 6 tracks the highlights are numerous, but of particular note are the album opener \"Ascend it!\"; a fusion masterpiece that seamlessly blends psychedelic elements, funk grooves, intricate melodies, and improvisation. When \"Doom Date\" takes flight we are transported to Mahavishnu Orchestra-like territory, before finishing with an angular melody that is pure jazz-fusion inventiveness. The irresistibly funky 'Gift Of The Gab” is built upon a hypnotic bass line over drum and percussion. Laden with synth and retro keyboards reminiscent of the deep funk of Herbie Hancock’s late 70s period. \"Mountain Bug' alternates between minor and major keys, a hallucinatory violin solo is followed by a dazzling trumpet improvisation. A restatement of the melody accompanied by the gunfire of the drum set and percussion. Tamil says of Wave Theory “Sometimes themes reveal themselves through creative encounters and through life experience. I wrote and recorded the album in six months. A lot happened to me and my friends during that time so, for me, ‘Wave Theory’ is like a musical snapshot of life’s relentless ebbs and flows. It’s about the sadness and thrills of endless transformation and the power of creative connection\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A :\u003cbr\u003eAscend It \/ Doom Date \/ Gift Of The Gab\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide B :\u003cbr\u003eBeneath Her \/ Mountain Bug \/ Axe To Grind\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53439769542999,"sku":"P-156586-","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Tamil-Rogeon-Wave-Theory-LP-Gatefold-156586-1-1720003098.jpg?v=1778243015"},{"product_id":"ginger-johnson-and-his-african-messengers-african-party-deluxe-edition-double-lp-gatefold","title":"Ginger Johnson And His African Messengers - African Party - Deluxe Edition - DOUBLE LP GATEFOLD","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of percussionist, band leader, teacher, club owner Ginger Johnson and his African Party album is a fascinating tale that is only now being recognised for its significance. Born George Folurunsho Johnson in Nigeria,1916, of a Yoruba background, by the late 1940s Ginger was living in London and made an immediate impact playing live and recording with British jazz legends Ronnie Scott, drummers Phil Seaman and Tony Crombie, pianist Victor Feldman, and Kenny Graham’s Afro-Cubists. In the 1950s he was the featured percussionist for the Edmundo Ros Orchestra, and also released several of his own 78s and 45s for Melodisc which were among the first examples of African music recorded and released in Britain. From his base in Pimlico, Ginger became the lynchpin of the African and West Indian expat musical community, including being mentor to a young Fela Kuti when he first came to London in 1957. By the mid-1960s Ginger was the highest profile Afro Cuban percussionist in Europe, with the ‘talking drum’ being his speciality, this led him to feature on all styles of recording sessions, from pop to jazz, also appearing in films, children's television shows and live at The Royal Variety Performance and he was also instrumental in helping establish and expand the Notting Hill Carnival. In March 1967 Ginger and his group entered Sound Techniques Studio, in Chelsea, to record the African Party album. The multi-layered drum patterns combined with jazz horn lines and vocals sung in the Yoruba dialect, the recordings were unlike anything else of the time and still sparkle with energy and vitality that remains undiminished almost 60 years later. The album is often cited as the foundation of Afrobeat – and his African Messengers group functioned as the finishing school for highly renowned musicians like Michael \"Bami\" Rose, as well as members of Osibisa and Cymande. Ginger and his group continued to blaze a genre defying trail through contemporary music – recording and playing live with the likes of Art Blakey, with psychedelic rock outfits Pink Floyd and Soft Machine at the International Times 14 Hour Technicolour Dream - and most famously with The Rolling Stones in Hyde Park, in front of a crowd estimated to be well over 250,000. Besides the 50's Melodisc recordings and African Party album, it was thought that there were few other recordings, however in 2018 Uchenna Ikonne, a renowned African music collector discovered one battered original copy of a 45 single, released in the early 70s on the 'Afrodesia' label. These two bonus tracks have been given the best audio restoration possible and are included on this expanded, double vinyl LP version of 'African Party', providing a wider perspective on this significant musician’s career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A : I Jool Omo \/ Adura \/ Witchdoctor\u003cbr\u003eSide B : Ire \/ Talking Drum \/ Lord Morocco\u003cbr\u003eSide C : A You Momma \/ Watusi \/ Alege\u003cbr\u003eSide D : Hi Life \/ Witchdoctor (Afro Rock) \/ Nawa\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53442331246935,"sku":"P-159542-","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Ginger-Johnson-And-His-African-Messengers-African-Party-Deluxe-Edition-DOUBLE-LP-GATEFOLD-159542-1-1727855528_95c6d7ce-853e-4f73-8417-69104eb2eeba.jpg?v=1778252324"},{"product_id":"omar-brighter-the-days-double-lp-gatefold","title":"Omar - Brighter The Days - DOUBLE LP GATEFOLD","description":"\u003cp\u003eImpressive Collective \u0026amp; BBE Music announce Brighter The Days – the 9th studio album by Omar - the world renowned UK soul star. This new album continues Omar's long-standing collaboration with Impressive Collective’s Greg Boraman, which began in 2013 on Freestyle Records with the critically acclaimed 'The Man' album and continued with 'Love In Beats' and 'The Omar Anthology'. Omar Lyefook MBE, singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, solidifies his legendary status with his latest album, Brighter The Days. Over three decades, he has been a defining force in modern Black music, crafting a sound that seamlessly blends soul, funk, jazz, salsa, dub, and hip-hop, with roots in classical music. As he puts it, “Each album is an evolution, if you will. But I’d like to think this is my magnum opus.” A dynamic collection, Brighter The Days builds upon Omar’s distinctive style with fresh inspiration. His warm, unmistakable voice—tinged with the richness of his Caribbean heritage —is complemented by lush arrangements. Organic drums, bass, brass, keys, and guitars meet the mechanical edge of samples and beats, creating a soundscape that is both timeless and innovative. Sweeping strings, inspired by his early training in orchestral music, add grandeur. “There’s nothing quite like that feeling of hearing all those strings play together,” he says, explaining their recurring presence in his work. As always, Omar has gathered a stellar line up of collaborators. British legends like Paul Weller, arranger Chris Cameron, rapper Giggs and guitarist Tony Remy join forces with American icons including singers India Arie, Ledisi, Eric Roberson and Raheem DeVaughn, organist Ronnie Foster, and rapper Jeru The Damaja. The result is music that is ambitious in conception and flawless in execution. The electric styles and highlights include There’s Much Love In The World, a hopeful anthem celebrating unity, Research featuring Honey Larochelle, a sexy and funky dance floor heater, and This Thing Called Life, which captures the album’s essence of optimism amidst challenges. Omar explains, “It’s a specific amount of time we have on this earth, so why waste it arguing and fighting? There are so many more things that connect us as opposed to driving us apart.” In Brighter The Days, Omar reminds us that music and life are about finding light in the darkness. “Music is what I live for, but so too are my children. Brighter The Days just means something better is coming for all of us.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A : Intro \/ This Thing Called Life \/ Won't Let You Down - Omar ft K.ZIA \u0026amp; The Swag \/ I've Been Waiting \/ Brighter The Days\u003cbr\u003eSide B : There's Much Love In The World \/ Lovey Dovey - Omar ft Eric Roberson \u0026amp; Raheem DeVaughn \/ Research - Omar ft Honey Larochelle \/ On My Own - Omar ft Paul Weller\u003cbr\u003eSide C : Out of Sight (Interlude) - Omar with Don-e \/ Can We Go Out? \/ It's Gonna Be Alright - Omar ft Scratch Professer \/ We Can Go Anywhere - Omar ft Giggs \/ Latin Salsa\u003cbr\u003eSide D : Holding On To Life - Omar ft Ledisi \/ Much 2 Much \/ 1234 - Omar ft Jeru The Damaja \/ Love Is Like - Omar ft India Arie\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53449487581527,"sku":"P-164314-","price":37.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Omar-Brighter-The-Days-DOUBLE-LP-GATEFOLD-164314-1-1741943415.jpg?v=1778269607"},{"product_id":"various-artists-dj-perry-louis-jazzcotech-presents-shiftless-shuffle-lp","title":"Various Artists - DJ Perry Louis (JazzCotech) presents Shiftless Shuffle - LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"hidden\"\u003eThis item is available for pre-order.
