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.

昨年リリースしたデビューシングル「EP01」は、ここ日本を経由しヨーロッパ各地のビートシーンでも話題となり、瞬く間にその名前を知らしめたニュージーランドの若きビートメーカー／プロデューサー＜クリストフ・エル・トルエント＞、注目のセカンド・シングルはなんと、「ジャズ」。黒人音楽や実験音楽、電子音楽、ブラジル音楽の影響をつよく受け、彼が持つ音楽的な豊かさとヴィジョンがビートミュージックという枠を超え、これまでどのビートメイカーも思い描かなかった圧倒的な世界へと導く本作。現在のビートシーンが突入した新次元の表現のあり方を象徴的にあらわした作品と言えだろう。参加ミュージシャンにはニュージーランドのビートシーンの旗手、ジュリアン・ダインがドラムスにホーンにはFunkommunityとして活動するIsaac AesiliのWNアーティストが全面強力バックアップ、予想を遙かに越えたビートメーカーが描く現代進行形の「ジャズ」、絶対聴き逃すな！ アートワークはNujabesをはじめとするHydeout関連のジャケットも手掛ける、FJD（藤田二郎）による本作をイメージした幻想的で美しい世界観を描いたデザインを採用。

● Christoph El Truentoプロフィール
クリストフ・エル・トルエント（Christoph El Truento）はニュージーランドのオークランド出身の音楽プロデューサー、DJ。おもにビートミュージックを手がけるが、ジャズやエレクトロ・ミュージックの影響をつよく受けており、強い重低音と特異なリズム、ときにはミニマルなビートを作り出すのが特徴的である。デビューEPはグルーブマン・スポットなどの国内トップ・プロデューサー達も注目しカルト・ヒットした。近く発表するアルバムではSUN RA、Alice Coltraneなどにインスパイアーされ実験音楽〜エレクトロミュージック〜ジャズへと消化しビートミュージックを超越したアルバム「What We Used To Know」をリリース予定。

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

The label grew from the vibrant early 90's club scene with its first release, Stop & Listen compiled by Dr Bob Jones in 1996, opening the door to iconic series' such as All Back To Mine & Late Nite Tales.

A tonne of releases followed, ranging from Disco to Funk, Jazz to House. In the year 2000, the label celebrated Masters at Work's 10th Anniversary with a mighty box set that featured near 80 tracks.

A year later BBE Music spawned the Beat Generation Series of artist albums, notably introducing J Dilla (Welcome 2 Detroit) & a young Will.I.Am's first solo outing, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib & DJ Spinna, all of whom contributed to this seminal set of long players.

A quarter of a century and well over 500 titles later, having worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Questlove, Hugh Masekela, DJ Premier, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro, Kon, RZA, Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, DJ Shadow, David Rodigan and John Morales among many others, BBE Music looks to the future, celebrating its rich heritage while continuing to release a bounty of fresh titles.

The label’s most recent projects include an expansive reissue series from pioneering Nigerian label Tabansi, new imprint ‘Batakari’ in association with Boddhi Satva and the critically acclaimed ‘J Jazz’ Japanese Jazz multi-album project, not to mention the recent landmark 500th label release: a brand new version of 'Barely Breaking Even', featuring Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams and Louie Vega.

In 2021 BBE Music is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the label is offering up some special projects, from the 20th Anniversary edition of J Dilla’s ‘Welcome 2 Detroit’, through David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’, to a special new ‘Worldwide’ compilation from old friend Gilles Peterson. BBE Music will also be looking to the future with more exciting original artist projects, plus merch collaborations events and more...
