Lovingly mixed by Famous Lee during the pandemic.  Many thanks to all the esteemed records dealers whose supply I've been getting high off for the past little while.

Legendary American musician Brian Jackson announces his first solo album in over 20 years, ‘This Is Brian Jackson’, produced by Phenomenal Handclap Band founder Daniel Collás and released on BBE Music.

Brian Jackson earned mythic status among music fans thanks to his pioneering work with Gil Scott-Heron in the 70’s, where his flute and electric piano performances on ‘Pieces of a Man’ and ‘Winter In America’ virtually defined the sound of an era. From the 80s onwards he went on to record with Kool & The Gang, Will Downing (whose debut album he produced), Roy Ayers and Gwen Guthrie among many others, and while many veteran musicians tend to stick with the sounds they know best at some point in their careers, Jackson remains an unusually adventurous, vital and broad-minded artist to this day.

When the Phenomenal Handclap Band’s Daniel Collás first met Brian Jackson at a performance in New York, right off the bat he said “I think I could produce you”. “I wasn’t sure why he thought that,” says Jackson “but I considered it a challenge to find out. Turns out that he was right.”

Early on in their friendship, Brian mentioned that he’d embarked on a solo project right around the time he recorded ‘Bridges’ with Gil Scott-Heron in 1976. There were even some unfinished demos, but the album had never materialised. Daniel leapt on the idea, asking “what would a Brian Jackson album sound like if the 21st century Brian were to complete that 1976 album today?” Completed in a series of twice weekly sessions over 11 months in Daniel’s Williamsburg studio, ‘This Is Brian Jackson’ provides the answer.
“We sketched out musical ideas, drank way too much coffee, consumed way too many tacos and sampled perhaps a few too many exotic whiskeys while talking about things that were important to both of us personally. The lyrics for the songs are a result of those conversations” says Jackson.

Contributors to the album range from Jackson’s guitarist, bassist and longtime friend Binky Brice (Billy Ocean, Evelyn Champagne King, Roy Ayers), Collás’s occasional writing partner Morgan Phalen, Latin Grammy-winning flautist Domenica Fossati, drummers Moussa Fadera and Caito Sanchez, and Phenomenal Handclap Bandmates Juliet Swango and Monika Heidemann.

And the music? Vintage, soul-stirring Brian Jackson, with the great man’s warm vocals, distinctive flute and lyrical keys taking centre stage. The songwriting feels timeless, the arrangement effortless, the production human and analogue. From golden-era soul-funk opener ‘All Talk’, through soaring Afrobeat-inspired dreamscape ‘Mami Wata’ to compact groover ‘Little Orphan Boy’ which closes the album, ‘This Is Brian Jackson’ is simply some of the veteran artist’s best work yet, subtly and lovingly framed by Daniel Collás.

Sweater Funk 11-23-14 Guest Set - Seth from KUSP's Sweet Power

I Am an Emperor

I am an emperor, not a beggar — oh no
I am a wealth creator, watch me glow
I create wealth easily, joyfully
I share my wealth with all humanity


I am an emperor, not a beggar
Wealth is seeking me forever
Everywhere I turn, I see
Abundance flowing endlessly

There is gold in every breeze
Every blessing comes with ease
I’m always happy, always bright
Courage walks with me day and night

My health is whole, my heart is clear
Good luck whispers in my ear
Every day, in every way
Success and love come out to play

I am an emperor, not a beggar
Wealth is seeking me forever
Everywhere I turn, I see
Abundance flowing endlessly

I am lucky, I keep winning
Joyful living, heart still singing
Safe and guided, always free
The Infinite is here with me

I empower, not deceive
I give, create, I do believe
Wealth for all, happiness too
By sharing, I empower you

I am an emperor, not a beggar
Life and love grow rich together
By the power of the Infinite Light
I shine abundance day and night

I am an emperor
I am a giver
Wealth for everyone
Forever
