Rules Free Radio Nov 29

Tuesdays 2pm - 5pm  EST Rules Free Radio With Steve  Caplan bombshellradio.com On the next Rules Free Radio with Steve Caplan, we’ll check out new music from The Penetrators, Jim Basnight, Uni Boys, Field School, and a just-released live album from 1969 by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The band Archers of Loaf have a new album for the first time in more than 20 years. Boston’s Karate has a new collection of some of their 90s music, singer-songwriter Karoleena, guitarist Hedvig Mollestad, new Jazz and Funk from Jazz Is Dead, Nils Landgren Funk Unit, and New Freedom Sound. We’ll hear orchestral performances from the soundtrack to the new David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream and one by composer Steve Reich. In the not-so-new category, we’ll hear Frank Zappa, Material Issue, Queen, Deerhunter, In Deed, and the Midnight Callers. We’ll start by paying tribute to someone we just lost. His name is Wilko Johnson, and if the name isn’t familiar, I can pretty much guarantee that you know music by artists he influenced. He’s perhaps most associated with a British pub rock group from the 70s, Dr. Feelgood. They did a lot of covers of American Blues and R&B, kind of like groups like The Stones and The Pretty Things did about a decade before. Wilko Johnson played with folks like Ian Dury and had he had a prolific solo career. Guitarists were inspired and admired his unique style and showmanship. So if he’s new to you, he was a great rocker! All this and more on Tuesday afternoon starting at 2 on Bombshellradio.com!

Garrett Saracho JID015 by Garrett Saracho, Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad

While they are best known for working alongside some of the most recognizable names in jazz, Jazz Is Dead now invites you to meet an innovator that has largely gone unheard of, until now. In the early 1970s, Garrett Saracho was a recording artist signed to the legendary Impulse Records, who came up in Los Angeles’ fertile underground jazz community. Due to a tragic combination of label mismanagement and geopolitical intervention, his sole record, 1973’s En Medio, fell largely under the radar of even the most astute collectors and fanatics. After spending the following decades in obscurity working in the film industry and touring with his cousins in the rock band Redbone, Saracho stepped into the Linear Labs studio with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad to craft an intoxicating and kinetic rush of Latin Soul, Funk, and Psychedelic Jazz. While you may not know his name, your ears will soon know the genius of Garrett Saracho. Album opener “Sabor Del Ritmo” (Taste of Rhythm) is immediately transportive, as flutes swirl and envelop you, placing you at the center of Saracho’s meditative piano. Restrained but upbeat, it’s a wonderful showcase of the different directions the rest of the arrangements go in. “Altitude” sounds as if it were plucked from a coveted library music release, with haunting strings and a tense climbing piano melody that fits perfectly as a chase scene soundtrack. Keeping in step with similar cinematic flourishes is “White Buffalo”, with a descending bass line that takes you into a villain’s subterranean lair. On “Trucha”, the percussion speeds up and slows down, remaining unpredictable and elusive. As the horn section pours in with solos, the beat slows down one last time to give way to Saracho’s impressionistic keys. Ballad “The Gardens”' is a gorgeous slowed-down piece of Latin Soul, reminiscent of Saracho’s early mentor Cal Tjader, with Saracho’s piano driving the emotional course. “’73” slinks in with the same vigor as Saracho’s recordings from that same year, and much like Saracho, it remains elusive, with a creeping bass line that hides behind paranoia-drenched synthesizers and anxious vibes. The triumphant penultimate track “El Cambio Es Necesario” (Change Is Necessary) features shifting rhythms and styles, an apt metaphor for Saracho’s own path as an artist. In an album filled with rhythmic and stylistic sleights of hand, none may be as memorable as the guitar, quietly strumming along throughout the piece, suddenly taking over on the last two notes. Listening to the studio chatter of closing track “Calo” further emphasizes the cohesion and trust that each musician placed in each other throughout the entire recording session, and especially on this track. Driven by the interplay between drums and piano, each finishing the other’s sentences as undulating flutes and horns swoop in, it’s an excellent closing statement in making the case for Saracho’s status as a Jazz great. After spending nearly fifty years away from the music industry, Garrett Saracho makes his return on Jazz Is Dead with a collection of shapeshifting tunes that hop from one style or tempo to another with shocking ease. Blending together Latin Soul and Psychedelic Rock influences alongside his enduring love for jazz, JID015 is a tribute to the enduring ties and cultural dialogues between genres, and to the perseverance of a musician who once stood on the precipice of stardom, now receiving his long overdue acclaim. As the opening track to JID015, “Sabor Del Ritmo”, translating to “taste of rhythm”, gives listeners an accurate idea of what the album has to offer. Leading in with spiritual flutes and dissonant piano blanketed by cymbals, the mood shortly switches from introspective to outgoing, shifting towards a Latin Jazz feel. As the horns and percussion follow one another like partners locked in a dance, the piano wanders, finding unexpected pockets and populating them with touches of personality, playing against expectations. As an album opener, “Sabor Del Ritmo” introduces listeners to Saracho’s amorphous playing style, constantly rewriting and breaking his own rules. As the name suggests, “Altitude” sounds like it only goes higher and higher. The latest single from Garrett Saracho’s forthcoming album on Jazz Is Dead, the track captures the adrenaline rush of a high-speed chase, not at all uncommon to those found in countless B- movies or cult anime Cowboy Bebop. Opening with bongos that seem intent on chasing him down, Saracho’s piano continues to ascend. In the second half, after introducing guitar and vibes, a soaring string section is introduced, raising the tension exponentially as the vibes and guitar encircle the keys. Taut and explosive, “Altitude” captures the cinematic glory of Lalo Schiffrin and Cal Tjader’s iconic film scores transporting you to the center of the action. In its first moments, the ballad “The Gardens”, taken from Garrett Saracho’s forthcoming entry on Jazz Is Dead, requires one to slow dance, to feel the trumpets and congas brush against each other, swaying in time with the scrape of the guiro. Opening with lush keys that float alongside the beat, the tune is mellow without ever feeling narcoleptic, and feels spacious enough to fill a concert hall or a small patio. At the midway point, the tempo changes, and the piano springs to life. Flutes begin to sprout, and a soulful saxophone solo greets listeners in the final minutes. A six-minute odyssey, “The Gardens” blossoms in your ears from a short affair into something deeper, leaving you spellbound in the process. クレジット2022年11月18日リリース All music composed by Garrett Sarracho, Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad unless otherwise noted; produced, recorded and mixed by Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad at Linear Labs Studios, Los Angeles, CA.

SERIES 2 In the music industry, time moves ten times faster. There is no pause given to greatness, and legends can vanish amidst the churn of the hit parade. It is no minor miracle, then, that in the face of a deadly pandemic and faltering supply chain, Jazz Is Dead has returned with another offering of top-shelf recordings, paying tribute to past legends and new school torchbearers alike. Whether you’ve known the names of Jazz Is Dead Series 2’s featured guests, or are just meeting them for the first time, prepare to be blown away. With Jazz Is Dead Series 2, Younge and Muhammad have once again, together with a roster of world-renowned legends, crate digger patron saints, and an exciting vanguard of young talent, have delivered another unimpeachable collection of fresh and captivating recordings inspired by Jazz’s past, present, and future. There are names that some may already be familiar with, such as Lonnie Liston Smith, Jean Carne, and Tony Allen, and those less so, like Henry Franklin, Phil Ranelin, Wendell Harrison, Garrett Saracho, & Katalyst. What unites each new collaborator is their unbent dedication to remaining original, preserving their creativity and sharing it with the world..

For both Younge and Muhammad, preserving and sharing these legacies remains at the core of their mission. “We do this work with reverence, for the people who came before us, that’s our intent,” says Muhammad. In an era of streaming and rapid devaluation of music, and with the lingering uncertainty of running a new independent label in the time of COVID, Jazz Is Dead continues with Series 2.
