"I created this song in a time of crisis where I had a lot of questions. A song about love, identity, uncertainty, and purpose. I still tend to question everything and I also think it’s ok, as long as we try to move on, look ahead, and don’t get stuck and paralyzed by these questions. It’s the journey that matters." - Melodiesinfonie

Love, Always.

East Williamsburg Sessions

Reginald Chapman & Pressure Fit "Speak Low" (East Williamsburg Session)

MADELEINE returns with the first single from her upcoming mixtape. 

'Hold Her' sets the tone for what's to come. Synth-heavy textures, captivating vocal layering
and a shuffling groove come together with a third-person narrative allowing MADELEINE to comment on a romance between friends. Overcome by experiences in her past relationships, she tries to warn the male character that if he doesn’t give her what she deserves, then he’ll lose her, ‘Darling, her love is your saviour’.

Hold Her

Second single from James Tillman's third album, Magic City Thrill—a soulful exploration of love, lust, and the ties that bind us.

Sons Of The James "I Want More"

A highlight from Reginald Chapman 'Accretion' (FSX-057) – out now everywhere: fsx.lnk.to/accretion

'Accretion’ is a double-album exploration in carving out a refreshing new territory in modern Jazz – one that strikes a balance between hard funk grooves and complex music theory, complicated arrangements and heavily headnoddable beats – all tied together with universally engaging melodies and textured with a “refined grit” palette to forge a sound that is uniquely Chapman’s own.

The album serves as an exciting manifesto for a step forward into the future of traditional brass music, and it’s one that we’re honored to help bring to the world.

Written, Produced & Arranged by Reginald Chapman

Personnel:
Reginald Chapman - bass trombone, bass trumpet, rotary flugelhorn
Marcus "Tennishu" Tenney - saxophone, trumpet
Reggie Pace - trombone
Andrew Randazzo - bass
Corey Fonville - drums
DJ Harrison - keys

Mixed & Recorded by DJ Harrison @ Jellowstone – Richmond, VA

Mastered by Kelly Hibbert @ Almachrome

Reginald Chapman "Process Level Event"

NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL!

Celebrating the news that the majority of Brazil's Supreme Court judges voted NO on Marco Temporal! 

Hallelujah!

 ... But, there's still more work to do.  

Members of Brazil's congress have now declared they will work to change Brazil's constitution to justify the heinous principle of "Marco Temporal".

We hope you enjoy and are encouraged by the song.
  And we really hope you will

 ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE CALL
           FOR ALL INVOLVED TO VOTE   "NO TO MARCO TEMPORAL!" 

+ Download the song, play it back from another device, and film yourself singing along.  Post a video of yourself on social media with the # marcotemporalnão.

Here are the lyrics:

DIGA NÃO À VIOLAÇÃO
O QUE É DELA DEIXE-AO CHÃO
DO JEITO QUE ELA JÁ MERECEU
AO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL
NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL
NÃO AO MARCO TEMPORAL


For now there's been a "No" vote on this latest heinous attack on Indigenous Rights, and all humanity's planetary survival.
But factions within Brazil's government still are pushing to force "Marco Temporal" through. 

As a person who has deep gratitude and admiration for the land and people of Brazil, and who has benefited deeply from the inspiration and education of the music born from that land, I couldn't sit and watch this vote come-up without adding my voice to the chorus of communities tirelessly advocating to stop this (continued) violation of the land, and Indigenous people & territories of Brazil.

 One late night in Rio De Janeiro, a group of passionate musicians gathered in the studio to pool our talents and energies, and encourage all parties involved to say "NO" to Marco Temporal. 

We created this song with the hope its energy and message would contribute to the advocacy efforts pressuring the Brazilian courts and congress to reject Marco Temporal. 

 We acknowledge we are not on the deadly front lines of this battle. We stand in solidarity, and send prayers for protection and success to all those who are.
 
We hope and pray that this music -and your participation in it!- sends support, added visibility and energy to efforts of Indigenous communities throughout Brazil, and to the sacred and endangered being which is the Amazons herself.
