$Brian Jackson - Winter In America feat. Rich Medina Winter In America is brought straight into the present day millennia, re-imagined with an all-new Kenny Dope broken club dance floor styled arrangement that shoots straight to the sonic jugular. Josh Milans gospel-tinged vocals, given an atmospheric over-dub, underpin Rich Medinas mellifluous, semi-spoken baritone who truly shines on the song as he grimly declares, Like the peace sign that filtered in our dreams, that never had a chance to grow, somebody ought to go tell them, that it is winter, cold, like winter in America, A time when all the healers have been killed, betrayed. A powerfully delivered re-crafting that will impact both old fans and newer converts in equal appreciative measure. Classically trained jazz pianist virtuoso, flautist, songwriter, arranger/producer, musical director and trail blazing creative visionary. Brian Jacksons resume more than speaks for itself; an impressive, musically fruitful trajectory in a career that has spanned well beyond 5 decades. Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York City born and raised, a child prodigy with a talent nurtured and molded firmly within Black Americas rich jazz tradition (inspired by such blues, swing, bebop and post-bop greats as Clifford Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Williams, John Coltrane); one that would be fine honed in later years by the supernatural-like funk, soul and rock sounds of music contemporaries Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, and Curtis Mayfield. As one half of Gil-Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson, he would be the music alchemist to his lyrically gifted and charismatic partners prescient, blues-laden observational musings, forged deep in the crucible of the post WWII Black Arts Movement responsible for such literary and performative talents as Langston Hughes, Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, Oscar Brown Jr, Nikki Giovanni, and The Last Poets. Theirs would be a collaborative partnership like no other: a reality truth to power manifesto on politics, culture and everyday life, delivered through song via an equally unapologetic blues, jazz and funk rhythm template. Two modern day griots, embedded firmly in that time-honoured African tradition of disseminating news and sharing information. Now More Than Ever is Brian Jacksons latest offering for BBE Music. It takes up the legacy baton some two years on from where This Is Brian Jackson (his impressive debut for the label) left off. Where This Is comprised unreleased demo material from the duos mid 70s heyday with newer songs that wisely referenced Jacksons funk and jazz heritage, this latest all-new offering pays direct homage to the very songs of that famed partnership. The albums title (taking its cue from the opening chant on Peace Go With You Brother”), is an appreciative nod to the enduring relevance of Jackson and Scott-Herons inspirational gift to the world; songs that are now over 5 decades old, though which speak more than ever before to those major topical issues that afflict our markedly fractured, conflict-ridden and polarised present day world. ...

Brian Jackson - Moonshine MAW Live Mix Ft Carl Cornwell

$Brian Jackson - We Almost Lost Detroit feat Moodymann We Almost Lost Detroit from the 1977 release Bridges, draws inspiration from the Southern Memphis stewed soul sounds pioneered in the 1960s and 70s at both Stax and Fame studios. Detroits own Native Son Moodymann recites Scott-Herons musical interpretation of John G. Fullers book of the same name, chronicling the partial meltdown in 1966 of Enrico Ferni Nuclear Generating Station, just 30 miles from the Motor City. An exquisite string accompaniment complements the mid-paced rhythm section, the song building steadily along as Moodymann coolly lays down his measured, semi-spoken lead. Featured background vocalists Fischer and Mizelle come into their inspirational own during the songs final segment in a rousing call and response exchange, bringing a palpable sense of drama to both music and the songs disturbing subject matter. Classically trained jazz pianist virtuoso, flautist, songwriter, arranger/producer, musical director and trail blazing creative visionary.
