Direct and all analogue - with that kind of vintage touch, lots of passion, sound and groove to it. I'd love to be there live one day.
1,2,3,yo Favorite track: Street Pharmacy.

warmtapes Tasteful playing and well crafted Jazz-Funk. We need more Butcher Brown releases on Vinyl Favorite track: Camden Square.

Kaseboy Advance I knew I wouldn't be disappointed by y'all. Sure, this ain't a huge release like Healer, but goddamn are the songs on this. Especially loving that last track. Shit funky as hell! Keep it up. Favorite track: 918.

about

日本語は英語の後に続きます。

"a quintet that plays funky, frisky music equally influenced by jam bands, hip-hop D.J.s and 1970s fusion... Their star is on the rise."
- New York Times

"Masters of full-on, soul-kissed, garage punk-funk and jazz grooves... progressive rappers should be queuing out the door for their blessing."
- Mojo

"The band settles into nuanced grooves with an innate respect for the past, a reverence for the Headhunters, Stevie Wonder, the Meters and the voodoo of the tape machine."
- Huffington Post

Introducing Butcher Brown’s brand new direct-to-disc album, available on Vinyl, CD, and Digital. Following on from previous release Live At The Vagabond (2017) and Bandcamp digital exclusive AfroKuti: A Tribute To Fela (2018), Camden Session is a snapshot of the band’s explosive energy, groove-heavy sequences, and unrivalled togetherness. Their playing is modern and innovative, yet contains rich echoes of Weather Report, Return to Forever, early Earth Wind and Fire, and Zappa.

DJ Harrison is broadly seen as the visionary in an albeit egalitarian band. His keys provide the harmonic colours around which drummer Corey Fonville’s (Christian Scott, Nicholas Payton) muscular delivery and bassist Andrew Randazzo’s effortless cool pulsate. Multi-instrumentalist Marcus Tenney on saxophone/trumpet and Morgan Burr’s guitar complete the quintet.

Recorded at Mark Ronson’s Zelig Studios and cut live to disc at Gearbox Records in London using an all-analogue signal path. Mixed and engineered by the legendary Tony Platt. No edits, no overdubs.

ヴァージニア州リッチモンドを拠点に活動するブッチャー・ブラウン。デヴォン・ハリス(キーボード)、コリー・フォンヴィル(ドラム)、モーガン・バース(ギター)、アンドリュー・ランダッツォ(ベース)、マーカス・テニー(サックス、トランペット)から成るこの5人組ジャズ・バンドは、ヒップホップ世代以降の感性が光るサウンド志向と、オールドスクールな職人気質のプレイヤーとしての側面を持ち合わせた、非常に現代的なバンドだ。そんな彼らが2018年にリリースしたライヴ盤『カムデン・セッション』が、この度日本特別仕様盤として再発される。ロンドンにあるマーク・ロンソンのスタジオ=ゼリグ・サウンド・スタジオで録音され、編集やオーヴァーダブを一切行なっていないという本作には、バンド本来の魅力が生々しく記録されている。

イントロダクションを経て演奏されるのは、「Fiat」。コリー・フォンヴィルのパワフルなドラムとモーガン・バースのワウ・ギターが印象的なこの曲は、元々70年代ブラックスプロテーション映画のサントラを思わせるファンキーな楽曲だが、ここではオリジナル版の倍近い長さのセッションを繰り広げ、ギラギラの装飾品をつけたアイザック・ヘイズが登場してきそうな熱演を聴かせてくれる。オリジナル版にはなかった、終盤のデヴォン・ハリスによるローズのソロも素晴らしい。続く「Street Pharmacy」では、フォンヴィルとアンドリュー・ランダッツォによる、ヒップホップ/R&B的なビートが、彼らのもうひとつの魅力を顕にしている。バースのカッティング・ギターやハリスのクラヴィネット、マーカス・テニーのトランペットによるメロウな歌心と合わせ、ネオ・ソウルのフィーリングを感じることができるだろう。バースは、インタールードを挟んだ「Camden Square」でもR&B的なエッセンスを含んだギターが印象的。この曲は、ハリスがアコースティック・ピアノを演奏するセッション動画もぜひ観てほしい。最後の、ソロを回しながら完璧なアンサンブルを聴かせる「918」は、彼らの挨拶代わりにもなりそうな一曲だ。バンドは本作リリース後、カマシ・ワシントンのUSツアーにサポートとして同行しているが、きっとこの曲も演奏されたことだろう。

ヒップホップ世代以降の感性が光るサウンド志向と、オールドスクールな職人気質のプレイヤーとしての側面を持ち合わせた注目の現代的バンド、ブッチャー・ブラウン。細部へのこだわりが堪能できるスタジオ盤も素晴らしいが、彼らのプレイヤーとしての実力をダイレクトに体感するのには、やはりライヴ盤がいい。
