3-band recording-console-quality EQ with sweepable mid and low frequency notch filter. Phase reversal, ground lift, line level out, dedicated tuner out, TRS effects loop, and even a pre/post switchable DI output with pad make this a true studio-quality device that shines onstage. Hardwire bypass, non-slip rubber bottom, included 12V power supply. The BBE Process--"What it Is"Loudspeakers have difficulty working with the electronic signals supplied by an amplifier. These difficulties cause such major phase and amplitude distortion that the sound reproduced by the speaker differs significantly from the sound produced by the original source. In the past, these problems proved unsolvable and were thus relegated to a position of secondary importance in audio system design. However, phase and amplitude integrity is essential to accurate sound reproduction. Research shows that the information which the listener translates into the recognizable characteristics of a live performance are intimately tied into complex time and amplitude relationships between the fundamental and harmonic components of a given musical note or sound. These relationships define a sound's "sound". When these complex relationships pass through a speaker, the proper order is lost. The higher frequencies are delayed. A lower frequency may reach the listener's ear first or perhaps simultaneously with that of a higher frequency. In some cases, the fundamental components may be so time-shifted that they reach the listener's ear ahead of some or all of the harmonic components. This change in the phase and amplitude relationship on the harmonic and fundamental frequencies is technically called "envelope distortion. " The listener perceives this loss of sound integrity in the reproduced sound as "muddy" and "smeared. " In the extreme, it can become difficult to tell the difference between musical instruments, for example, an oboe and a clarinet. BBE Sound, Inc. conducted extensive studies of numerous speaker systems over a ten year period. With this knowledge, it became possible to identify the characteristics of an ideal speaker and to distill the corrections necessary to return the fundamental and harmonic frequency structures to their correct order. While there are differences among various speaker designs in the magnitude of their correction, the overall pattern of correction needed is remarkably consistent. The BBE Process is so unique that 42 patents have been awarded by the U. S. Patent Office.

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Teena Marie Remixes On 3LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Producer extraordinaire John Morales returns to BBE Music, celebrating the life and work of R & amp;B / soul legend Teena Marie with a double album full of brand new remixes, lovingly crafted from the original studio tapes, entitled Love Songs & amp; Funky Beats. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; & quot;Teena is somewhat underrated, and people don't really know much about her, & quot; says Morales, & quot;I set out to immerse people in her music and represent what she really did. That meant for me a dive into more than her R & amp;B hits, to dig into her ballads and dance cuts. People know she was talented. I don't really think they really knew the depth of her abilities, her complete confidence to take it upon herself to do everything - singing, producing, arranging, songwriting. Teena Marie was the total package. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;John Morales had the pleasure of mixing many of Teena Marie's original records over the years, so it felt natural to dig into the archives and select his favorite cuts to rework, extend and subtly update in his own distinctive style. While by no means a definitive collection of Lady Tee's expansive musical catalog, Love Songs & amp; Funky Beats represents a fitting tribute to a multifaceted and important voice in popular music, by one of the most storied mix engineers and remixers of our age. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Jumping into the music industry deep end in 1979 with a three-year mentorship from Berry Gordy & amp; Rick James at Motown, Teena Marie then spent seven fertile years with Epic, which yielded her greatest commercial successes (including the classic album Starchild). After founding an independent label Sarai, Marie took a ten-year hiatus which ended in 2004 in a deal with hip hop label Cash Money Records; a less unlikely partnership than some might assume, given that Teena was one of the first & quot;mainstream & quot; artists to perform a rap verse, on 1981's & quot;Square Biz. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Teena Marie Brockert forged a unique path through the industry, an artist in-charge of her own destiny, influencing (and heavily sampled by) both the hip hop and R & amp;B sounds of the 90's and early 2000's. Her 1982 lawsuit against Motown records resulted in & quot;The Brockert Initiative, & quot; which has benefited literally thousands of other artists by making it illegal for record companies to & quot;shelve & quot; artists by keeping them under contract without releasing their material. She continued to tour regularly and deliver commercially successful, expertly sculpted music, right up until her untimely passing in 2010. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;3LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in the E.U. & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;I Need Your Lovin' & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;365 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More tracks go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Chains & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;It Must Be Magic & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side C: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Behind The Groove & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Square Biz & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side D: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;You're All The Boogie I Need & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Aladdin's Lamp & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side E: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Portuguese Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Now That I Have You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side F: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rick James & amp; Teena Marie - Fire & amp; Desire & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;First Class Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

First epitomizes the shifting sound of the Japanese modern jazz scene of the time, characterized by rich textures and tones, kinetic rhythms, punctuated by urgent, angular melody lines. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Reissued for the first time since original 1970 release, Mine is joined by master keyboard player Masabumi Kikuchi on electric piano, and two American players - bassist Larry Ridley and drummer Lenny McBrowne - to deliver one of the strongest debuts in the J Jazz canon. First announced the arrival of a serious talent, one who was to be a hugely influential figure in the Japanese jazz scene across the decade that followed and beyond. First established an artist who built a reputation for standout albums spanning spiritual jazz, post-bop, modal and funk-fusion. All of that started here, on this exemplary album. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The vinyl edition is presented as a double album, cut at 45rpm by the Grammy-nominated Carvery, with full original reproduction artwork, including obi strip. Vinyl comes with a 4500 word sleeve note and interview with Kohsuke Mine by Tony Higgins, plus artist portraits by Shigeru Uchiyama. J Jazz Masterclass Series is curated by Tony Higgins and Mike Peden for BBE Music. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Part of BBE Music's J Jazz Masterclass Series, exploring the finest Japanese jazz music from the '60s and '70s. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.pitchfork.com & quot; & gt; First is the sound of breaking away from old ways in favor of a daring new future. Sure, it feels like an organic jazz LP - a layman would have no difficulty identifying the genre and its typical instruments. But the rich textures, experimental arrangements, and elongated solos predicted the inventiveness to come: Japan's jazz was about to get bolder and more intense. First arrived at the intersection between traditional and unfamiliar, mannerly and chaotic. & lt;footer & gt; -Dean Van Nguyen, Pitchfork, 8.1/10 & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;45rpm & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Part Of The J Jazz Masterclass Series & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Cut By Carvery & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Pressed by Pallas Group in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Fully Reproduced Original Artwork & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;OBI Strip & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;4500-Word Sleeve Note & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Interview With Kohsuke Mine & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Artist Portraits by Shigeru Uchiyama & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Kohsuke Mine & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;saxophone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Masabumi Kikuchi & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;electric piano & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Larry Ridley & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Lenny McBrowne & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 1: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Morning Tide & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 2: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Love Talken & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Straight No Chaser & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 3: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;McPhee & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 4: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Little Abbi & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Bar 'L' Len & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Featuring keys by Eric Kupper, his & quot;SATS Dub & quot; and & quot;TradMix & quot; versions of & quot;Rude Movements & quot; are simply classic works, summoning House music's golden era forward in time, to the here and now. Ricanstruction label founder and long-time champion of the good groove, Frankie Feliciano delivers a slick and faithful update of & quot;Rude Movements, & quot; with a slight Latin soul twist. Swedish mix-king OPOLOPO turns in a typically live-sounding, funky and dancefloor-ready jam (ready whenever the dancefloor is, anyway) The full, extended version of Moodymann's remix retains the original & quot;jammed & quot; feel of & quot;Rude Movements, & quot; adding stellar flute, sax and piano solos to that hypnotic vibe. Kenny Dope's Afro-Latin inspired & quot;Dancefloor Powder & quot; version is joined this time by a rough'n'ready, street tough & quot;O'Gutta & quot; mix; calling all b-boys and b-girls! & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Made famous by David Mancuso at his New York Loft Parties, & quot;Rude Movements & quot; was an obscure Brit-funk B-side recorded in the home studio of Mike Collins. The track's unique sound, coupled with pristine sonics and production values caught the audiophile ears of Mancuso, and the rest is history. Soon the track found its way into the hands of Loft Party denizens Larry Levan, Nicky Siano, Frankie Knuckles and Danny Krivit and continues to influence House and electronic producers through to this day. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;!--More features go here in & lt;li & gt; tags-- & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rude Movements (Moodyman Remix Extended Version) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rude Movements (Frankie Feliciano Remix) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rude Movements (Kenny Dope Dancefloor Powder Remix) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side C: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rude Movements (OPOLOPO Remix Extended Version) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rude Movements (Kenny Dope O'Gutta Remix Extended Version) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side D: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;li & gt;Rude Movements (Fran & amp;#231;ois K SATS Dub) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

The music is energizing, uplifting and the potent result of a highly accomplished musical partnership maturing, growing and hitting their stride together in lock-step. & lt;strong & gt;Jan Kincaid & lt;/strong & gt; and & lt;strong & gt;Dawn Joseph & lt;/strong & gt; met as members of one of the UK's most successful Acid Jazz bands, which influenced & lt;strong & gt;Mark Ronson, D'Angelo, Jamiroquai, Erykah Badu & lt;/strong & gt; and & lt;strong & gt;The Roots & lt;/strong & gt;, to name a few. Founding the & lt;strong & gt;Brand New Heavies & lt;/strong & gt; was an important chapter for Jan, but once he and vocalist and songwriting partner Dawn began working together, the chemistry was instant and irresistible. It was time to turn the page, and soon MF Robots was born. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; & quot;When we made our first album, we didn't have a band as such. We basically made a lot of the record at home and called on other musicians as and when we needed them. Our sound was developing organically, and when we finally released the record to great critical acclaim, it was time to get out on the road, & quot; says Jan. & quot;We put together a band of like-minded young musicians, playing intimate gigs and big festivals all over Europe and beyond, growing tight as a unit, so that when it came time to think about making this, our second album, we knew we had an extra level of musicianship full of personality that could realize our vision. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Inviting band members & lt;strong & gt;Alex Montaque & lt;/strong & gt; (keys), & lt;strong & gt;Naz Adamson & lt;/strong & gt; (bass), & lt;strong & gt;Mark Beaney & lt;/strong & gt; (guitar), & lt;strong & gt;Jack Birchwood & lt;/strong & gt; (trumpet), & lt;strong & gt;Ben Treacher & lt;/strong & gt; (sax) to improvise and contribute their own ideas over song-sketches laid out by Jan and Dawn gives Break The Wall a special sense of off-the-cuff brilliance. Even on the polished final product you can detect a collaborative, fluid and unhurried approach to production that's all-too rare these days. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;There's guest performances from bassist & lt;strong & gt;Gail Ann Dorsey & lt;/strong & gt; ( & quot;The Love It Takes & quot;, & quot;Make Me Happy & quot;) and guitarist & lt;strong & gt;Cory Wong & lt;/strong & gt; ( & quot;Shine & quot;, & quot;Make Me Happy & quot;), the former a top-flight session player who's collaborated with & lt;strong & gt;Lenny Kravitz & lt;/strong & gt; and & lt;strong & gt;David Bowie & lt;/strong & gt; among others, the latter a member of the incredible & lt;strong & gt;Vulfpeck & lt;/strong & gt; collective and an accomplished solo artist in his own right. Mixed by Clinton McCreery and mastered at The Carvery in London, the album was completed in March 2020, just before the World went into COVID-19 lockdown. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;As for the concept behind the project, & quot;the name of the band, Music For Robots, is an entirely tongue-in-cheek one. It's a poke at the generic nature of a lot of present-day pop music, of a certain 'factory' songwriting style and lack of real individuality and personality in 'manufactured' music. We want to create strong soulful music with a timeless classic feel, drawing from a lot of diverse influences, that makes you feel good, so maybe you can lose yourself for a little while. We want to create something that touches a feeling in people, the way that we are touched by a lot of great music and want it to still sound good in years to come. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;In this long player, the duo's musical mission has been both accomplished, and surpassed. The title Break The Wall could not be more apt. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;3LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;LP1 & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Interlude (Somewhere in South London) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Change & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Crazy Life & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gold & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Good People & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;LP2 & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Make Me Happy & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Shine & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Brand New Day & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Love It Takes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mother Funkin' Robots & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;LP3 & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;You & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Birthdays & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Happy Song & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Make The Call & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;David Bowie Tribute Album On Double LP! & lt;br & gt; Explores Bowie's Connection To R & amp;B, Soul, Funk, Jazz & amp; Gospel! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;BBE Music is thrilled to announce the release of Modern Love, a diverse compendium of specially commissioned cover versions of rarities and classics in tribute to David Bowie. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Featuring an array of artists such as & lt;strong & gt;Jeff Parker, We Are KING, Meshell Ndegeocello, Helado Negro, Khruangbin, Matthew Tavares, Nia & lt;/strong & gt; and more, Modern Love seeks to champion Bowie's lesser-known connection to soul, R & amp;B, jazz, funk, and gospel. The prominent jazz influences throughout Bowie's final album, Blackstar, were a key inspiration for curating this collection of reimagined Bowie songs with these artists. The resulting album is an eclectic tribute featuring a group of artists who not only fit together creatively, but who, like Bowie, straddle different worlds musically, with soul and jazz at their core. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Modern Love offers a fresh look at Bowie's trailblazing career, aiming to highlight the often overlooked relationship between his back catalogue and musical genres traditionally pioneered by artists of color. The project was curated by music executive and DJ Drew McFadden, alongside BBE Music founder Peter Adarkwah. & quot;I felt that the connection between Bowie and R & amp;B, jazz, funk, gospel and all things soulful, had never really been explored before - at least not so much in covers, which tend to lean more towards rock and pop, & quot; says McFadden. & quot;Certainly, there's been plenty of Bowie covers over the years, but none that have really tapped into what seems to have been a big part of his core musical style and direction. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Modern Love is an interactive sonic map. Here, seventeen artists make their way into the varied regions of his sundry catalog and circle back with seventeen unique re-imaginings of both his cornerstone and lesser-known tracks. Some, in atmosphere, feel like a sly alternate take from original sessions (Khruangbin's ethereal, funk infused version of & quot;Right & quot; from Young Americans); others nod at the source, then wink before diving into the deep waters of another musical stratosphere (Sessa's sexy Tropicalia-drenched & quot;Panic in Detroit & quot; from Aladdin Sane). Still others take tunes down to the studs and then re-arrange the moody interiors: Meshell Ndegeocello's pensive & quot;Fantastic Voyage & quot; from Lodger and Tavares' clever take on & quot;Heroes & quot; which is restructured into a kinetic hardbop-esque backdrop, fronted by ice-cool, held-back vocals. The bullseye these artists aim for is Bowie's fearlessness. & quot;Fame was an incredible bluff that worked, & quot; he once reflected. & quot;Very flattering. I'll do anything until I fail. And when I succeed I quit too. & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Modern Love packs us off on a journey that balances on risk's sharp blade. Track-to-track, it explores what happens when a musician throws out notions of should and safe and stretches beyond the known. These artists use Bowie both as a guide and a prism: A way of being and seeing. Their offerings, widely divergent, explore the inheritance from an artist who freed himself from labels, genres and, consequently, pigeonholes. While he was at it, he decimated fixed notions about territory (or terra) itself; boundaries hemmed-in his creative process, but his essence remained free to roam. He may have vanished in earthly form, yet, as he also promised in the lyrics of & quot;Modern Love, & quot; & quot;But I never wave bye-bye . . . & quot; This compilation assures us that his spirit swirls around us. His force is alive to all of us and, here, it is summoned with an incantation that celebrates possibility. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/EOHflwe4eOA & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Life On Mars - Miguel Atwood-Ferguson & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Sound And Vision - Helado Negro & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lady Grinning Soul - Kit Sebastian & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Soul Love - Jeff Parker And The New Breed (feat.

Delivered by a trio playing with an intensity and energy that draws on classic Eric Dolphy and mid-era Coltrane but definitely with its own particular vibe, At the Room 427 is an exemplar of febrile improvised jazz that could only come from Japan. This deluxe reissue sees a welcome return to the J Jazz Masterclass series for saxophonist & lt;strong & gt;Koichi Matsukaze & lt;/strong & gt;. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Originally issued in 1976 on the cult ALM label, At the Room 427 is the debut album from one of the most exciting and forward-thinking instrumentalists to emerge in the mid-1970s. Matsukaze's distinctively angular, deconstructive style adds an unpredictable quality to the session that is balanced by the muscular bass of & lt;strong & gt;Koichi Yamazaki & lt;/strong & gt; and the kinetic drumming of & lt;strong & gt;Ryojiro Furusawa & lt;/strong & gt;, who provides a sound footing for Matuskaze's fiery solos and free-form chemistry. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The album opens with the epic & quot;Acoustic Chicken, & quot; a 20-minute tour-de-force of dynamic and explosive interplay. Featured on J Jazz: Deep Modern Jazz From Japan volume 3 and written by Furusawa, & quot;Acoustic Chicken & quot;'s strong melody lines and scorching sax finely mesh with the driving rhythm section. Furusawa's Elvin Jones-like rolls and batteries of percussion are underpinned by Yamazaki's driving and rounded bass. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;At the Room 427 also includes a radical deconstruction of the Billie Holiday classic & quot;Lover Man & quot; and three more original compositions by Matsukaze. The album was recorded live in November 1975 before a small audience in - as the title states - Room 427, a classroom in Chuo University, the alma mater of both Matsukaze and Furusawa. However, despite the rudimentary surroundings, the recording by Yukio Kojima, founder of ALM, manages to give the listener the feeling of being in the room itself, up close to the band, bristling with an intense energy. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;This reissue of a long-lost rarity of post-bop/free playing maintains the exceptionally high standard set by the previous releases in the BBE Music J Jazz Masterclass Series. As with all releases in the series, At the Room 427 comes with full reproduction artwork and extra sleeve notes, with artist interviews and biographies. The J Jazz Masterclass Series is curated by Tony Higgins and Mike Peden for BBE Music. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Part of the J Jazz Masterclass Series & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;First Time on Vinyl Since 1976 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Original Artwork & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Brand New Liner Notes - Artist Interviews/Biographies & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Remastered at The Carvery & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Koichi Matsukaze & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;alto saxophone, tenor saxophone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Koichi Yamazaki & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ryojiro Furusawa & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;!--More musician rows go here-- & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;LP1 & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Acoustic Chicken & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Theme Of Seikatsu Kojyo Iinkai & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;LP2 & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Little Drummer & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lover Man & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Theme Of Seikatsu Kojyo Iinkai & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Music From The Documentary Film On 3LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;BBE Music presents Lucky Man, music from the eponymous documentary film charting jazz violinist and Vietnam veteran Billy Bang's brave return to the country, 40 years after the War. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The film Lucky Man by Jean-Marie Boulet & amp; Markus Hansen follows Billy Bang as he returns to the battlefields of his past, this time with a violin in-hand instead of a rifle. The documentary follows Billy as he travels the length and breadth of Vietnam to collaborate with local musicians, discover the culture he never got to experience the first time around, and to try to find some closure for the haunting trauma that still lingers within. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The trip took place in 2008, three years before Billy Bang's passing and these never-before released field recordings, lovingly polished at The Carvery studio in London, capture the musician's many poignant musical encounters along the way. The journey took him from Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, through to the highlands and the Banhar and Jorai gongs of the Montagnards, north across the 17th parallel, climaxing with & quot;Mystery of the Mekong, & quot; his collaboration with the Hanoi Symphony Orchestra. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The album Lucky Man is composed of recordings captured throughout Billy Bang's travels in Vietnam, interspersed with his candid thoughts about music, art, war, and his return to the country. Tran Manh Tuan, the saxophonist featured on & quot;Jungle Lullaby & quot; is well known in Saigon, where he owns a club called Sax n'Art, in which the live collaboration was recorded. In the more rural Kon Tum province, The Banhar Gong Group of Kuntum perform one of their traditional pieces, over which Billy's off-the-cuff improvisation simply soars. The Phu Dong Family Band (a collective comprising an incredible 25 members of leader Duc Dau's family) appears on & quot;New Saigon Phunk & quot; and & quot;Song for Don Cherry, & quot; recorded in their native Ho Chi Minh City. Duc Dau is also a collector of ancient traditional instruments, and he plays a primitive stone Lithophone called a Dan Da with Billy in an energetic and exciting live jam that feels more like a duel at points. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt; & quot;Bang was a genuine original, whose radicalism of method was always balanced by a powerful lyrical sense, a driving inner beat and the earthiness of the blues. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; - The Guardian & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Born in 1947, Billy Bang was only 18 years old when he was drafted and shipped out to Vietnam. He served only one tour of duty, but his traumatic experiences there would haunt him for the rest of his life. Small in stature, Bang became a & quot;tunnel rat, & quot; searching for North Vietnamese soldiers in booby-trapped tunnels with only a flashlight and a .45 pistol. On his return to the USA, Billy felt lost, haunted and stateless. He fell into revolutionary politics, alcohol and drugs, and on a trip to a pawnshop to purchase guns, chose to pick up up a $25 violin instead. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Having played violin, drums and flute before the War, Billy Bang found music to be a perfect medium through which to channel his emotions and trauma, initially under the mentorship of early free-jazz exponent Leroy Jenkins. Bang soon became a fixture in New York's fertile & quot;loft jazz & quot; scene, and went on to perform with the Sun Ra Arkestra in the 1980s. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;A prolific composer, recording artist and sideman, Billy Bang started to address his Vietnam memories more directly with his music on 2001's critically acclaimed album Vietnam, The Aftermath, which also featured fellow veteran Ted Daniel. The 2005 follow-up Vietnam: Reflections featured four American Vietnam war veterans and two Vietnamese musicians. This project, Lucky Man, completes Billy Bang's trilogy of Vietnam-themed works with a courageous solo voyage into the unknown; embarking on a new creative challenge while confronting a past he could never quite get over. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;3LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Gatefold jacket & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in Germany & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Introduction & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Billy Playing With The Banhar Gong Group Of Kuntum & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Flashback Tunnel Reflections & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mystery Of The Mekong by Billy Bang with the Hanoi Symphony Orchestra & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: The Sun Rising - Introduction To Song For Don Cherry & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Song For Don Cherry by Billy Bang with Duc Dau and his Phu Dong Family Band, Ho Chi Minh City & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side C: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Flashback Memories & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;New Saigon Phunk by Billy Bang with Duc Dau and his Phu Dong Family Band, Ho Chi Minh City & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Traditional Vietnamese Catru Music by the Phu Dong Family Band & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side D: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Billy Reflecting On Memories And Feelings & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Jungle Lullaby - Billy Bang with Tran Manh Tuan on saxophone and his Sax N' Art Band Of Ho Chi Minh City & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side E: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Quynh Anh Pham's Memories About Her Father & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Dan Da Traditional Lithophone with Duc Dau of the Phu Dong Family Band Saigon and Billy Bang on violin & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Billy Speaking About Music And Art & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side F: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Flashlight And A 45 Tunnel Memories & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man Title Music: Vietnam 1967 Battle Composition & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Teach Me Banhar & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Traditional Quan Ho, Cau River Singers and Billy Bang on violin & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Billy Reflecting On America, Music And Being Left Alone & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Moments For The KIAMIA, Solo In A Hotel Interior Courtyard by Billy Bang & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucky Man: Quynh Anh Pham Lullaby & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;First Ever Reissue Of Rare 1978 Jazz-Fusion Album On Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Unearthed by renowned record collector and music historian DJ Amir, BBE Music presents the first ever reissue of rare 1978 jazz-fusion album The Jupiter Effect by The Larry Rose Band. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Recorded in Amsterdam by a Dutch/American quintet of players, released on eclectic Dutch label Crossroad, The Jupiter Effect was the sole offering from multi-instrumentalist Larry Rose and his band. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Having performed in various groups, most notably The Liquid Blues Band, which featured Lex Silva on bass and Clay Cotton on B3 (these two would go on to play with John Lee Hooker and Charlie Musslewhite respectively), a young Larry Rose dropped out of college and bought a one-way ticket to Europe, where he'd spend the next few years in Amsterdam as a musical adventurer, trading guitar lessons for rent and living out his dreams. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;In late 1975, Larry met fellow American songwriter Stanley Davis and formed The Larry Rose Band. In their first iteration, the group played rock'n'roll covers across Holland and Germany, until Larry and Stanley splintered off in 1977 to create their own jazz-tinged material with new members Toon Janssen (drums / percussion) and Theo van Halen (saxophones). When Larry's old friend, American vocalist Paul Pinto visited Amsterdam in '78, the band invited him to join them in the studio to record their first (and what would be their only) album, The Jupiter Effect. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;On this special album, The Larry Rose Band's myriad influences and inspirations are on display, from blues through rock to jazz and beyond, all played by a dazzlingly talented group of young players, road-hardened and at the height of their powers. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Super-rare 1978 jazz-fusion album recorded in Amsterdam by a talented group of American and Dutch players. Never before reissued, and almost impossible to find on vinyl. Remastered at The Carvery and and presented with original artwork and brand new liner notes including interviews with the artists. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;First ever reissue & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Remastered at The Carvery & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Original artwork & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Brand new liner notes including interviews & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Made in the EU & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;musicians & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Musicians & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;table & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Larry Rose & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;electric & amp; acoustic piano, organ, synthesizer, string ensemble, vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Stanley Davis & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;bass, acoustic guitar, lead & amp; harmony vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Paul Pinto & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;acoustic & amp; electric guitar, lead & amp; harmony vocals ( & amp; silver-throated warbles) & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Toon Janssen & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;drums, timbales, hand percussion, beach-party bongos, vocals & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Theo van Halen & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;soprano & amp; tenor saxophone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Rinie Plant & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;trombone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Victor Borkent & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;trumpet & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Guus Tangelder & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;tenor saxophone & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;tr & gt; & lt;th & gt;Ellen Boeren & lt;/th & gt; & lt;td & gt;accordeon & lt;/td & gt; & lt;/tr & gt; & lt;/table & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Papa & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Blues Are Dyin' & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Nana & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Looking & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Who Conned The Lady & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Oregon & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lucina & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Sand & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Well, some do, but that doesn’t create the experience players want. see, added gain will push the amp’s front end tubes harder, creating more of the amp’s own harmonics, but that alone will make the amp seem too bright, sacrificing the tonal balance in the process.The BBE designers call Boosta Grande a “transparent clean boost” because it doesn’t change the tonal balance of the amp, even with Boosta’s max gain of +20dB slamming those tubes. To achieve a transparent boost experience, Boosta Grande mildly rolls off some top end starting at about 1kHz so that when the amp’s front end is driven harder with gain, the additional upper harmonics generated by the tubes aren’t excessive.Boosta Grande’s mission to preserve amp amp’s tonal balance ends with careful post-EQ, but it starts with preserving the tone of guitar. Boosta Grande’s 1meg Ohm input is about the same as the front end of a good Marshall or other premium tube amp, welcoming guitar’s signal with wide-open arms, not loading down pickups. In the middle of things, can count on Boosta’s 1% metal-film resistors for consistent tone and a rugged circuit board for tour-proven reliability. When the Boosta isn’t engaged, a properly engineered true hardwire bypass means signal passes entirely around the circuit, from input jack to output jack without a hint of loading.When a transparent boost is the experience ’re after, get a Boosta Grande and let amp’s tubes sing their song with more gusto.
