| Description: | Acid jazz legend Chris Bangs returns with a brand new album. Bangs is known for originally coining the term â??acid jazzâ?? â?? a movement which subsequently morphed into the label â?? as he and likeminded DJs (including Gilles Peterson and Eddie Piller) began to combine jazz, soul and rock-fusion with the prominent sounds of acid house in the late â??80s. The album draws influence from the Mizell Brothers, Wayne Henderson and George Duke â?? the latter providing direct inspiration, with a cover of â??My Soulâ?? opening the record and serving as the first single. Self-described as â??pure labour of loveâ?? by Bangs himself, the album is a further expansion of his remarkable sound and vision, and his own ever-expanding dream world of (acid) jazz that moves far beyond genre-casting.
- The producer would like to thank ... Marc Lessner, support, critique and an endless ear throughout the process, Ed + Dean at Acid Jazz, Dean has been my A+R for 30+ years. I said to him "You can only put this out if you fucking love it !! " (He Did!) Massive thanks to among others; Colin Curtis (legend and "House of Bamboo" was down to him BTW I), Paul Murphy for my musical education, Perry Louis, Jazzcat Max, Bunny, Kev Beadle, GP, Patrick and Janine at Dingwall for helping me rebuild the fire, "Sugar Slam" would not have existed withou my old sparring partner Gilles Peterson persuading me to DJ at Dingwalls, To the TWR crew who helped me reconnect with the music of my lifetime especially Paul Anderson and David Jazzy Dawson and mostly to me other half Bev who put up with my eternal mental absences whilst immersed in making this goddamn thing !! |
