J.D. AND THE SONS OF RHYTHM - BEYOND ATTENTION
Improvised
Jazz-World Fusion
Complex rhythm patterns and driving grooves change into primal beats, locked
into with ease and precision by J.D. and the Sons of Rhythm. A dialog of solos
and chords erupts in Funk, World-Beat and Swing as shades of Miles Davis meet
the sounds of Ornette Coleman. Dream-like ballads interspersed with funky
grooves and free-jazz jams make up these two totally original sides.
The live sessions include J.D. Hopkins and sons Jayson and Rickie, and bass,
guitars, keyboard, sax and trumpet. Bassists David Blaetz, Tony Stefanelli and
Kenny Cornelius take turns, guitar regulars Mike Ohm and Sheldon Peterson are
sometimes joined by newcomer Joe Frisina, and guitarist, keyboardist and
guitar-synth player Frank Singer joins in for most of the tracks. J.D. and Sons
add horns for the first time, with Phil Papotnik on sax and flute and Chad
Garrison on trumpet. Singer and Papotnik overdub parts on three cuts above the
drums and electronic percussion of the Hopkins family rhythm section.
The sound of J.D. AND THE SONS OF RHYTHM is organic. It is what music is before
composers, arrangers, lyricists, critics, academics and others shape it to their
will. This is the raw substance of music, born in and of the musicians who play
it. It is what it is.
We hope you enjoy it. [ Check out the co-release of
