Act V – Gil’s Journey beyond the Thames
Haunted by mortality, Gil rides the London Overground to Stonebridge to seek Mr Dawkins, the Windrush elder whose Bridge Park centre once turned a derelict bus depot into Europe’s largest Black-led enterprise. Dawkins recounts floods of failed policies and triumphs of community resilience, London’s own Deluge story. He sets Gil a test: organise a 72-hour “Awake-a-thon” of art, sport and debate in the centre’s fading halls.
Gil barely lasts 30, collapsing from exhaustion. Still, Dawkins’ wife slips him a file, plans for a city-wide youth network, “Project Lifeline.” In it lies the “plant of renewal”: sustained investment that could outlive any one person.

[Intro] 
"Community resilience..."

I guess I must believe them
And I think we all must believe too
So take all these teachings and grow
You can take all these teachings and grow
So take all these teachings and grow

[Verse 1]
Seeking a new direction
Can't hold this knowledge no more
Bearing the tales of their nation
Left laid bare across the floor
His own heart pounds with conviction
A story blooms inside these courts
His own heart pounds with conviction
A story blooms inside these doors

[Chorus]
Let it all work out, let it all work out
Let it all work out, let it all work out
Let it all work out, let it all work out
Let it all work out, let it all work out
"Awake-a-thon...", "Lifeline..."

[Verse 2]
I don't mind their long inhibition
Held us against the wall
Mistakes of a past vision
It's harder to let them fall
From the wisdom of tradition
His answers heard their calm calls
Learn and leave with what you know
And this spirit won't subside at all

[Bridge]
The flood of voices, hope in the brave of heart
And the sun protects, the sun projects
A light on every dream they've shared
Flood of voices, rising in the wisdom heard
And as the sun protects, the sun projects
A light on every dream they've shared—worked out

[Chorus]
Let it all work out, let it all work out
Let it all work out, let it all work out
Let it all work out, let it all work out
Let it all work out, let it all work out
"Awake-a-thon...", "Lifeline..."

[Outro] 
"Plant of renewal..."

In association with DJ Amir’s 180 Proof Records, BBE is honoured to present another gem from the small yet significant Strata catalogue. A precursor to New York’s Strata East, Detroit’s Strata Records was founded in the late 1960s by former Blue Note artist Kenny Cox. Starting life as a music-led community organisation, coffee shop studio and venue, Strata released only a few titles as a record label, gaining the imprint a cult following among record collectors and jazz lovers across the globe.
Possibly the best known of Strata’s releases, The Lyman Woodard Organization’s ‘Saturday Night Special’ is rightly heralded as a jazz fusion classic. Recorded in 1975, ‘Saturday Night Special’ features organ, electric piano and Mellotron by bandleader Lyman Woodard alongside guitar and bass by Ron English, with drums and percussion by Leonard King, Bud Spangler & Lorenzo “Mr. Rhythm” Brown respectively. Despite the fairly sparse instrumentation, ‘Saturday Night Special’ lays down an impressive wall of sound, powerfully atmospheric in its almost low-fi aesthetic. Hinting at more traditional jazz, rhythm & blues, afro-cuban styles and more, the uniqueness of this album is surely in its feel: summoning up images of a vast industrial landscape, assembly lines and urban decay. In other words, this record sounds like Detroit.
No great album artwork is complete without a good story to match, and ‘Saturday Night Special’ does not disappoint. Snapped by photographer and political activist Leni Sinclair (responsible for seminal pictures of Miles Davis, Fela Kuti and John Coltrane and many others), the cover image shows the contents of Lyman Woodard’s pockets placed on the hotel bed after a show: cigarette papers, cash and a pistol.
Following Woodard’s death in 2009, this incredible album was reissued in highly limited numbers by Wax Poetics; now just as hard to come by as the original pressings. It’s our pleasure to make this important and influential chapter in the story of contemporary jazz available on vinyl once again.

The Sunflower is like no other. A flower of ultimate dedication, it basks in the glory of sunbeams all day, it’s head constantly and carefully tracing the source of light and warmth’s every move. A superb ally to nature anywhere it is found, it has unique nutritional value, oils and seeds available to all who cultivate it. It’s the reason they are found across the globe.

This is the ethos behind Ronin Arkestra. Formed in Tokyo in 2017, Ronin Arkestra brings together some of the finest and most creative players in Japan’s Jazz and and electronic scene. The collective includes members of Kyoto Jazz Sextet, WONK, Cro-Magnon, Root Soul, Sleepwalker, Sauce81, Kyoto Jazz Massive and, of course, band leader Mark de Clive Lowe. 

Kicking it all off is ‘Stranger Searching’, where lush electronics meet beautifully executed Jazz in full story mode. A constantly driving beat push this track along through its various chapters, with each member of the band given time tell their tale. Horns from Shinpei Ruike, Kohei Ando and Wataru Hamasaki tie everything together in beautiful harmony.
