Micah Thomas - Mountains - VINYL LP

Connection is the new ten song LP from Los Angeles powerhouse Orgone featuring collaborations with Cyril Neville, Kelly Finnigan, Pimps of Joytime, and more. The album is the inaugural on 3 Palm Records, distributed by Colemine Records and Secretly Distribution. A spiritual follow up to fan favorite Bacano, Connection is gritty, lean, and tight soul and funk at it's best. It explores the invisible threads that bind us all, spiritually, emotionally, and artistically. Much like the collage that adorns the cover, this hard hitting collection of songs illuminates the essence of Orgone a musical pastiche of different vocalists, heavy riffs, vintage production, and a core rhythm section that never disappoints. The synergy created in these songs demonstrates that the whole is truly greater than the sum of all the individual parts and players. This is the tenth studio album from Orgone (they've previously released albums with Ubiquity, Sanachie, and Colemine Records). Other career highlights include heavy touring with the likes of Al Green, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, and Galactic; fest appearances at Bonnaroo, High Sierra, Jam Cruise; placements on ABC's Modern Family, film, and commercials; serving as the backing band for Grammy winning hits like Cee Lo's InchFool For YouInch and songs from Alicia Keys, Jazmine Sullivan and more.

Animal Magic is the second album from the British band The Blow Monkeys, released in 1986 by RCA/Ariola. It gave the group their commercial breakthrough after their debut album titled InchLimping for a GenerationInch

Mountains is an ambitious project from celebrated jazz pianist and composer Micah Thomas. His first large ensemble work, it offers an expansive and emotionally rich listening experience that explores the depths of musical storytelling. This exploratory project features Thomas alongside some of the most inventive luminaries in modern jazz, including trumpeter Adam O'Farrill, alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, trombonist Caleb Smith, bassist Kanoa Mendenhall and drummer Kweku Sumbry. Drawing inspiration from his lifelong love of acoustic large ensemble music, Thomas reflects on the profound impact that formative musical experiences have had on his artistic development. Mountains is a testament to his journey through various musical influences, from Itzhak Perlman's orchestral performances to the emotive power of Charles Mingus' The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, and the bold narratives of Mahler, Stravinsky, and Prokofiev.
