Announcing his forthcoming studio album, ‘This Is Brian Jackson’, which is to be released on BBE Music in May 2022, Brian Jackson offers up the LP’s lead single ‘All Talk’, presented with a brace of remixes by OPOLOPO.

Produced by Phenomenal Handclap Band founder Daniel Collás, ‘This Is Brian Jackson’ is the veteran songwriter and musician’s first true solo studio album in 20 years. Perhaps best known for his albums as co-artist/producer with Gil Scott-Heron in the 1970s, Brian Jackson remains active and innovative, producing artists such as Will Downing and Gwen Guthrie, recording with Kool and the Gang, Roy Ayers, Alabama 3, Sean Ono Lennon and constantly called upon for contributions by many other artists as well.

‘All Talk’ gives us a first sampling of ‘This Is Brian Jackson’, displaying Jackson’s sparkling songwriting, vocal delivery and musicianship, beautifully framed by Daniel Collás’s skillful, timeless production.

“I had mentioned to Daniel that I had begun work on a solo project around the time that Gil and I were recording ‘Bridges’ in 1976” says Jackson. “I even had a few unfinished tracks. The seed of Daniel’s concept centered around the question: ‘what would a Brian Jackson album sound like if the 21st century Brian were to complete that 1976 album today?’”

Now, that question has been well-and-truly answered.

‘All Talk’ comes complete with a pair of complimentary reworks from Swedish production wizard OPOLOPO, who provides a sublime futuristic boogie version and a tougher, percussion-led club mix for the dancers.

Album ‘This Is Brian Jackson’ is scheduled for release on vinyl, CD and digital formats, May 6th 2022.

TREASURE * JOYOUS ~ KON REMIX

Back on Favorite Recordings for this new album as Mr President, Patchworks finally provides a sequel to Number One (2011), first album with whom he was welcomed and praised internationally. Faithful to his love for Disco and Funk from the 70s and 80s, Hips Shaking however differs from its predecessor by digging more into Pop music, but also by a more elaborate production, with real horn and strings sections invited around Patchworks. From Roy Ayers to MFSB , through Vince Montana and Patrick Adams, or Michael McDonald and Ned Doheny, this Hips Shaking proudly look at the sound and production of the pioneer heroes, while infusing with Disco, Pop, Electronic and Fusion influences, which have made the Patchworks’ touch.

B1 Fitzzgerald - Mysterious World

Will Sessions is proud to present The One, their most cohesive and fully realized original work to date.

Written and performed with vocalist/keyboardist Amp Fiddler (Parliament/Funkadelic, Was Not Was, Mahogani Music) and Dames Brown (a all-female vocal trio), The One is an album that tells the story of a man’s search for the love of his life, and the trials and tribulations that surround their budding romance within the city of Detroit.

Stylistically the album has roots that go deep into late-70’s progressive funk, soul and boogie, with layers of live/electronic drums and percussion, funky synth and slap bass lines, snappy guitars, classic analog synths, Fender Rhodes, Clavinet, tight horns, and lush string arrangements, all accompanied by the vocal stylings of Amp and the Dames.

Cheri Maree - Starting Over Again (WAV Single)

Quick recap: this here is Clarence Alexander "Skip" Scarborough. 
Yesterday (26/11) was his birthday in heaven.

Some of you probably never heard of this Grammy Award winning songwriter, but I bet all of you know Bill Withers' evergreen "Lovely Day".
And this man here is responsible for that evergreen.

He also wrote LTD's hit "Love Ballad", Patti Labelle's "It's Alright With Me" and a bunch of songs for my favorite band of all time, Earth Wind & Fire. 
And one of them is the gorgeous "Can't Hide Love".

First recorded by,- these days largely forgotten outfit-, Creative Source, that song took a whole new leash of life in the hands of Maurice White & co, transforming it into a whole new monster; so definite, every recorded version after is indebted to the one EWF put to reel.

So, to honor the man who graced the earth with this gem, I took 15 of those versions (yes, there are more!) and made a 12-and-a-half minute medley out of it, rendering from obscure takes by Perry & Sanlin and Hummingbird to live versions by D'Angelo & Dionne Warwick, not to forget originators like aforementioned Creative Source and, ofcourse, Earth Wind & Fire themselves.

Thanks for all the great tunes, Skip! 
And Happy Heavenly Birthday!
