Jonathan Emile - Lower / Fighter Document - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2017 . From Healing Sounds pioneer Jonathan Goldman comes Quantum Resonance, a recording with six uniquely mixed, edited versions of Goldman's chanting and rhythmic favorites along with two never before never released songs. One is a sacred chant from the Healing Sounds Intensive featuring Laraaji and other well- known sonic luminaries. The other is a version of the Beatles InchTomorrow Never KnowsInch-a song from Revolver based upon the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It was John Lennon's desire that this song sound like the Dalai Lama chanting from a mountain top and it inspired Quantum Resonance which incorporates sacred sounds from different traditions that resonate together for movement, healing and transformation.

Born out of a profound desire to explore the depths of the human heart and reconnect with each other after a pandemic-induced hiatus, Chrysalism marks a departure into an unmistakably pop-forward territory. It's evocative title refers to the feeling of tranquility that comes with being indoors during a thunderstorm, privy to the drama while remaining somewhat removed and untouched. With enthralling vocal harmonies, synth-led music and melodic guitar riffs, the pair explores topics like love, longing and heartbreak from a decidedly more mature perspective, no longer choosing to see themselves as victims of circumstances but rather actors in the storyline of their love lives. Composed and recorded with the help of Micah Jasper (ELIO, Rebecca Black, Slayyyter), a Los Angeles-based producer who shares the duo's pop sensibilities and references, Chrysalism is a poignant reflection of what it feels like to grow older and come into your own.

Redd Foxx, real name John Elroy Sanford, became well-known in the USA as a stand-up comedian during the 1950s, developing a raunchy night-club act on the east coast and finding fame when Dinah Washington invited him to perform in Las Vegas. He was seen, and signed, by Dootsie Williams of Dootone Records, for whom he released a string of highly-successful 'live' albums. He later had a successful TV career, starring in the situation comedy InchSanford & SonInch, with overt racial humour that helped redefine the genre of black situation comedy. This 3-CD collection of selected live recordings from his early years with Dootone features the entire InchLaff Of The Party Vol. 1Inch album, a number of tracks from his InchBest OfInch album culled from other InchLaff Of The PartyInch volumes, plus the complete InchBurlesque HumourInch, InchSide Splitter Vols 1 & 2Inch and InchSly S*xInch albums, along with one side of the album InchHave One On MeInch. Also included are a couple of his early singles for Savoy when he was a jump blues singer. As the comedy albums were all 'live' recordings, most of them comprise complete continuous sides of LPs, with no separate tracks. Some of the material is risqué and close-to-the-edge for it's time, as was his style. It's a collection which offers a window on a strand of humour which is maybe not widely known, but has a substantial following among aficionados.
