█░ ░█
█░ "Break. As in "breakbeat." That ten second slice of ░█
█░ percussive magic in the middle of a funk song that, when ░█
█░ looped together by progressive South Bronx DJs in the 1970s, ░█
█░ became the basis of the hip-hop movement. Arkestra. ░█
█░ Out-there jazzer Sun Ra's funkafied concept of the stuffy ░█
█░ classical orchestra. Flip the script and you wind up with a ░█
█░ unique definition of the 10 piece, Los Angeles based ░█
█░ ensemble known as The Breakestra. The Breakestra was born as ░█
█░ the result of a vision by bassist/guitarist/upright ░█
█░ cellist/producer Miles Tackett. Tackett fell in love with ░█
█░ hip-hop after hearing Ultramagnetic MC's' Critical Beatdown ░█
█░ in the late 1980s - the era in which tons of dusty drum ░█
█░ breaks and funky samples first saw the light of day via ░█
█░ enterprising hip hop producers such as Paul C., Pete Rock, ░█
█░ Large Professor and DJ Premier. "In retrospect, I see that I ░█
█░ gravitated towards hip hop because of its roots in funk ░█
█░ music, " Tackett told URB Magazine in 1999. "Now I realize ░█
█░ that hip hop is the only music keeping funk alive." In 1996, ░█
█░ Tackett more actively embraced his role as cultural ░█
█░ preservationist. As part of the original crew that produced ░█
█░ LA's weekly coffeehouse series The Breaks, Tackett spun ░█
█░ records by The Meters, Kool & The Gang and The JB's. But he ░█
█░ was a musician before he was a DJ. Why not assemble a band ░█
█░ to rock the breaks he loved? A band that could interpolate ░█
█░ and interpret that glorious funk for the hip-hop ░█
█░ generation?" -snipped from Breakestra.com ░█
█░ ░█
█░ This is a crazy CD, 51 minutes of breaks, which could ░█
█░ stand alone or blend together. Times range from 19 seconds ░█
█░ to 4 minutes, mostly on the shorter side, all funky. I'm ░█
█░ really digging this, especially Space Break, Crumbs Off The ░█
█░ Table, and I Got Love. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Groove on with these trax from drone and Chromance! ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Scan notes : As seen on the website, this is a tri-fold CD ░█
█░ case, and it didn't all fit on my scanner. This is just for ░█
█░ proof of track names and the album. CHR - keeping you ░█
█░ informed and grooving on. ░█
