This is a big week here at the fake offices as we prepare for Friday's release of WISDOM (Sabiduria) from Mr. Eddie Palmieri. We've been digging throught the vast history of the man, the legend, and finding that he embodies everything that we strive for: persistent innovation with absolute respect for tradition. In fact, by easing in new elements to Latin music, Mr. Palmieri manages to PRESERVE the culture rather than push it aside. In this way he parallels the great Miles Davis by expanding the audience without losing the core. Saludos to Eddie Palmieri - please join us as we unveil new tracks all week from SABIDURIA. Start here with the title track featuring MARCUS MILLER, BERNARD PURDIE, DAVID SPINOZZA, AND RONNIE CUBER.
The Centennial Trilogy
Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah has emerged from the studio to bring us a trilogy of albums that stand as one work. The Centennial Trilogy is at its core asobering re-evaluation of the social political realities of the world through sound. Timing the release around the 100th anniversary of the first Jazz recording, Adjuah continues on his mission to obliterate the pejorative of the social construct of race and separation. By blending genres he seeks to find that which is common in us all. The first of the series is RULER REBEL, which introduces us to the players with a mix of Trap, Western African, and Native American music via New Orleans. We fully embrace the vision and message, and of course the music - drop in here to experience Ruler Rebel.
