Spirits High Above

Chill AF

"I have known good and evil,
Sin and virtue, right and wrong;
I have judged and been judged;
I have passed through birth and death,
Joy and sorrow, heaven and hell;
And in the end I realized
That I Am in everything
And everything is in me. "          Hazrat Inayat Khan

Spiritual Jazz Fusion

SPIRITS HIGH ABOVE XIII by Tom Wieland  freesoul inc

Welcome visitor to a brandnew edition of my Quiet Dawn mixtape series focusing on ...Folk Psych Funk.
As the 1960s melted into the ’70s in a colourful swirl of musical possibility, bands and singer-songwriters were experimenting with newfound freedoms. The psychedelic era had brought about many changes and much political upheaval in its wake. Discrete genres became fluid. Many acts fused different sounds together. Rock would meet jazz. Soul was mixed with psychedelia. In this fecund environment the nebulous yet highly prized form of folk funk emerged.

In what’s become a goldmine for crate-digging hip-hop and electronic music producers, keen to find an obscure and funky sample not yet rinsed out or carrying the threat of litigation, folk funk is a blend of acoustic guitars, looping repetitive grooves, jazz touches and full fat drum breaks.

You hear classics of the genre from Kenny Rankin or Terry Callier ,rare new discoveries by Quiet World or Kathi Smith and a killer new psychedelic take on the afro samba classic canto de lemanya. 
Turn on, tune in, drop out.
I wish you  a happy  festive season!  TW

Following in the footsteps of  German World Jazz visionary Joachim-Ernst Berendt & his 1960´s  „Jazz meets the world“ series on the highly collectible Black Forest label SABA records , Niko Schabel (Radio Citizen, Express Brass Band & part time member of the world jazz pioneers Embryo ;Berlin / Munich) and Tom Wieland (7 Samurai, Panoptikum Arkestra  etc..; Vienna) travel the world in search of new rhythm and sound inspirations. First Sound Voyage stop: SE Asia. Thailand                                                      
Now hear this:  Kraut world bass music for the forward thinkers and  probably one of the first examples, where traditional SE Asian music meets western underground Electronica . Imagine Kraftwerk jammin in a Thai temple with the locals & Moritz von Oswald  on the controls and you´re almost there.
