Joyce, Nana Vasconcelos & Mauricio Maestro - Visions of
Dawn
Recorded in Paris, in 1976, Visions of Dawn is the stunning
‘lost’ Brazilian acid-folk album by Joyce, Nana Vasconcelos and Mauricio
Maestro. First uncovered and released in 2009, the record transfixed Brazilian
music lovers and fans of otherworldly psych-folk alike. Led by the sharp lyrics
and gorgeous voice of a young Joyce Moreno, the trio is completed by the late
great Brazilian percussion legend Nana Vasconcelos, and master arranger,
producer and bassist Mauricio Maestro. Having been out of print for years,
Visions of Dawn is getting a much deserved vinyl repress. When the album was
repressed a few years ago, it sold out immediately. So be sure to grab one from
the Far Out Shop | Bandcamp to avoid missing out this time.
Doug Carn And His West Coast Band - Free For All
Fantastic work from jazz organ genius Doug Carn – a player who's been off most folks' radar for a few decades, but has continued to make some really wonderful music of his own! This set's got Doug in tighter, sharper formation than on his 70s classics for the Black Jazz label – working with a quartet that features really searing work on tenor from Howard Riley and Teodross Avery – paired up and soaring to the skies with the bold, modal lines that flow from Carn's fingers with effortless ease! There's no bass at all on the record – Doug handles all of that with the foot pedals – and drummer Deszon Claiborne really gets the groove right, with a mix of complexity and swing that really echoes Doug's best impulses on the Hammond. Titles include "Bad Attitude", "Search For Peace", "Beyond All Limits", "Free For All", "Spiritual Sunrise Spiritual Sunset", and a great version of "Little B's Poem" – different than the style Doug used on the tune in the 70s. ~ Dusty Groove
Aberdeen - Downpour
With its massive, one-of-a-kind sound, Aberdeen is proud
to announce the release of its debut album Downpour. It is Aberdeen’s brand of
jazz with pop inflections that contributed to their selection in the U.S. State
Department’s American Music Abroad program — in this case a tour to Central
Asia — where Aberdeen will perform and teach. Downpour features GRAMMY®
Award-winning saxophonist Bob Reynolds (John Mayer, Snarky Puppy) and bassist
Adam Neely, who hosts a 650,000+ subscriber music channel on YouTube.
Aberdeen features a brass section with jazz elements, paired
with production and songwriting influences of the from pop music of today.
Downpour is produced by Aberdeen’s alto saxophonist Brian Plautz. The band's sold-out album release performance at the
renowned Rockwood Music Hall in New York City featured 20 musicians spilling
off of the stage into the audience — and a similarly large ensemble is featured
on the album. Aberdeen’s music is about community; a large collective of
musicians with the hope of sharing its music to audiences throughout the world.
