Adrian Younge - Hyldon Jid023 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Hyldon, Brazil's highly revered vocalist, musician and producer, has partnered with Adrian Younge to create a new psychedelic soul album, HYLDON JID023. The duo, highly inspired by Hyldon's seminal work in the '60s and '70s, revisits' the spirit of this epoch while creating a modern-day classic. Hyldon's unique voice and lyrical depth, combined with Younge's innovative analog production, ensures this album will not be forgotten. JID023 is one of the last recordings featuring Hyldon's long-time collaborator and friend, the late drummer Ivan InchMamaoInch Conti of Azymuth. Hyldon, a musical pioneer and early contributor to the InchBlack RioInch movement is a genius in synthesizing the sounds of MPB, Tropicália and Black American R&B. His unique voice, coupled with his rich arrangements and laid-back grooves set him apart from the contemporaries of the time. In '75, his remarkable debut album, Na Rua, Na Chuva, Na Fazenda changed the sound of Brazil forever. Hyldon's earnest and experimental approach in creating that album served as the inspiration for Younge's production on the new JID023. Months before Mamão's untimely passing, Adrian Younge and Hyldon invited the legendary drummer to join them at Younge's Linear Labs studio in Los Angeles. Mamão and Hyldon shared a rich musical history - Azymuth, Mamão's group, served as the rhythm section for much of Hyldon's work, including his iconic 1975 LP, Na Rua, Na Chuva, Na Fazenda. Their goal was ambitious to craft an album that would stand alongside Hyldon's finest achievements, one that would captivate fans who love his unique blend of psychedelic and soulful InchMúsica Brasileira.Inch The result is nothing short of remarkable.InchProducing a Hyldon album was a dream come true. I've studied his catalog for so many years and highly respect the way he mixed the sound of The Beatles, with that of Marvin Gaye and Tim Maia. I'
