| Legendary Gil Scott-Heron collaborator Brian Jackson releases his long overdue new album Aug 6th. Check out two tracks below. |
Here's the scoop from Jazz Is Dead...
Brian Jackson JID008 is the first full album released by the great man in 20 years and it's a testament to his multifaceted talents that while there are moments throughout that hint at his game-changing history and track record, for the most part it reveals a musician whose considerable lessons learned from the past only serve to keep his eyes firmly fixed on the future. It's a masterclass in unbridled and open-minded creativity, no different from what Brian did half a century ago. The ease and comfort with which his ideas integrate with those of musicians a generation younger than him bears this out. To listen to this album is to hear a hot up-and-coming musician who also happens to be a major jazz-funk legend.
Brian Jackson's Jazz Is Dead 008 is out August 6. You can pre-order it via Bandcamp right here. Check out "Mars Walk" and "Nancy Wilson" below followed by an interview with Adrian Younge's chat with Brian Jackson.
