This is big band Jazz funk at its best and most accessible. Brand New Heavies
co-founder member Jim Wellman's swansong to music, features three different lead
vocalists including Roy Ayers and numerous accomplished soloists. The album
lyrically essays on postmodernism, altruism, language and love. Great song
writing is combined with excellent soloing, and the grooves and production are
of high quality throughout.
The postmodernism of the project is reflected lyrically and in complex
arrangements giving simultaneous voice to many riffs rhythms and harmonies.
(There are no harpsichord solos over broken beat castanets here!) With Jim's
background in live big band funk, each song has been developed from an original
bass groove, and layered with original integrated orchestration avoiding the
easy route of building stock tabs and samples prevalent today' in R&B / Dance
music.
Sample based music technology has changed the expectations of the record buyer
so whether there is still a market for a more traditional groove music remains
to be seen. One thing is certain, there will not be many more independent R&B
albums made like this, it's just not cost effective.
