Portrait Of Carrie

Brian Ellis returns with his most personal and well-rounded LP yet, “Deep Clues”, an 8-track project seamlessly encapsulating elements of funk, soul, adult-oriented rock (AOR), boogie, and electro.

One of the greatest musical creations of the exiled Zimbabwean and South African diaspora in the Seventies, ‘Amandla’ was released in 1979 by guitarist Josi Ndlovu and bassist André Abrahamse (known as Andre & Josi). A blend of Afro-soul, rock and blues licks and flecks of funk, disco and reggae, it’s now reissued on Tidal Waves Music.

FIRST EVER WORLDWIDE VINYL REISSUE OF VERY RARE PRIVATE HAWAII SPIRITUAL JAZZ-FUNK FROM 1979This exclusive Jazz-Fusion album is a work composed by famous Hawaiian composer/musician/educator Gary Washburn. "A Life in a Day" was a project to fulfil a National Endowment of the Arts grant that he was awarded, and he performed it to fulfil a State Foundation grant that was also awarded to him.Gary composed the music in Hilo specifically for the individuals who performed the music (in the same way that Duke Ellington composed for his band). It's a concept album.The Justin Thyme line-up played a series of shows across the island, and they were initially recorded on a 4-channel recorder. The songs was introduced to brother and producer Kent Washburn, and he agreed to release it on his independent label EmKay Records. The album was mixed and pressed, but the distribution company he was with doubled it up and the album never really made it to the public. The musical Styles used by Washburn to present this unique conceptual representation include traditional and contemporary Jazz, Funk, Pop and, in some passages, classical.
