Second single from jazz-maestro Gianni Brezzo upcoming LP "Tutto Passa" is "Capture This" - a warm splash of pure, groovy, jazz-funk. 

Instantly catchy, the track will have you imagining yourself in a movie that perfectly captures the musical themes: playful flutes, crisp, fluid guitar riffs, heat-pulling strings and brass movements, all held together by a strong, swingin' drum groove.

Listen / Pre Order "Tutto Passa" here: https://giannibrezzo.lnk.to/TuttoPassa

"Tutto Passa" is an album with a variety of moods, ranging from Arthur Verocai & Piero Umiliani inspired arrangements to lush, thematic jazz progressions with a percussive edge akin to works by David Axelrod, Stelvio Cipriani and Sven Wunder. It's a timeless release, one that sits just as well in 1972 as it does in 2022.

Marvin Horsch, the creative powerhouse behind the Cologne-based jazz project, remarks that the LP:

"...reflects exactly the feeling I had last year when I was in Italy with my own family. As a musician, I was looking for the challenge of a more orchestral approach on this album, which I hoped to achieve with my arsenal from the Cologne jazz scene and support of musicians from around the world."

Marvin was kind enough to provide a choice selection of his favorite songs that inspired and influenced the creation of "Tutto Passa" - from Italian greats like Piero Piccioni and Lucio Battisti to the Brazilian moods of João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim to more modern releases from El Michels Affair, Hiatus Kaiyote and Surprise Chef - stream it here: https://giannibrezzo.lnk.to/PlaylistTakeover

Janxta Funk! Pimps Of Joytime

Jukestone Paradise is the third studio album from Pimps of Joytime out on Write Home Records, April 7th 2015

LYRICS:
close your eyes and drop your hair
and let your body pull you
something strange in the air
a blurry kinda cosmic truth  

we move from wrong to left to right and on
dance with tongues and tie our knees beyond
dance on the heart of the floor inside
your moving like a butterfly
grab my hand and we catch your vibe
this fire will electrify

CHORUS
never let me go
never stop the music
spinning down the road
its a magical flow
when our stars collide
you just have to believe
you and me will 
shine a blazing light

(Horn Interlude)

Verse 2:
i cross my heart and i hope to die
y'all know why you better keep up
ya know what it is then you don't, and it ain’t
when you shoot me that lovers look

we move from wrong to left to right and on
dance on the heart  of the floor inside
this fire will electrify

CHORUS
never let me go
never stop the music
spinning down the road
its a magical flow
when our stars collide
you just have to believe
you and me will 
shine a blazing light

(Horn Interlude)

Percussion Break

Oo’s

CHORUS x2
never let me go
never stop the music
spinning down the road
its a magical flow
when our stars collide
you just have to believe
you and me will 
shine a blazing light

Let’s take this thing it higher. 

Anyone familiar with the Pimps of Joytime live experience knows the feeling—it’s that moment when a deep bluesy groove morphs into a full-on EDM explosion, or the sensation when the wide-eyed audience collectively elevates in sync with the band’s irresistible energy.

On Jukestone Paradise, the Pimps of Joytime raise the bar with swagger to spare, crafting ten cohesive songs that ring out like the soundtrack for a ride through the diverse Brooklyn neighborhood where their sound materialized.  Pulling from lead guitarist and singer Brian J’s deep discography of influences, the creation of Jukestone Paradise began a decade ago, when he penned anthems like “Sky” and “Freedom Dancer,” all the way up to the album’s studio recording sessions.

You might accurately call the Pimps of Joytime a ‘post-genre’ band; they’re a group whose sound—even within a single song—mirrors the diversity of our era’s musical tastes. “It’s a sonic tapestry that’s representative of this time and place that we live in,” says Brian J. 

That’s where the Pimps excel, by mashing up ‘70s funk tones with modern dance beats, mixed with original samples creating their mosaic sound. For listeners weary of today’s DJ culture but eager to dance with abandon, the Pimps of Joytime are the antidote. 

“At our core, the Pimps of Joytime are not just dance music,” says Brian J of the band’s three-part harmony attack. “My first vocal mentor was a doo-wop singer, so I have a long-time love affair with vocal harmonies.”

With the release of Jukestone Paradise, the band makes official their solid touring lineup, featuring dual female vocalists and percussionists Mayteana Morales and Cole WilliamsX. And they’re hitting the road hard, continuing a constant touring schedule that’s already left prominent sets at festivals like Voodoo, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo and High Sierra in their wake.

Behind the frontlines are bassist/keyboardist David Bailis and drummer John Staten, forming the rhythmic backbone of the Pimps’ audible collage. And for Jukestone Paradise, they called in a few friends to lend their talents, including Ivan Neville, who lends New Orleans flavor to “Sky,” and Rubblebucket’s Alex Toth, who co-wrote the quirky and infectious “Dance Cardia.” 

Just as Brooklyn has changed since the Pimps started, so has the band’s sound. But as Williamsburg gentrifies, the Pimps of Joytime’s diverse evolution keeps the neighborhood’s spirit alive. That spirit goes into the Pimps’ pot, over a soulful roux of rhythm and groove.
