歷史悠久的爵士大廠諸如Blue Note、Concord等雖然把持爵士樂主流的火炬，也是爵士媒體的主要焦點，然而風格較顯狹隘。真正讓紐約爵士樂展現特立獨行、百花齊放一面的，是許多的新興小廠....

MARCHING MUSIC - Music in Action

Here’s a new suite of compositions for our moment. I conceived of these pieces as music you could have in your headphones when you attend Climate Marches, Demonstrations for Equal Rights, Voting Rights Movements, and all other actions towards a just society. Also, it’s music to spur all of us to go and vote in November 2020 in incontrovertible numbers. Non-voters are among the biggest voting blocs in the U.S. This is the moment when everyone has to step up an be a part of what our nation truly is. We can do it. May this music help and inspire you. I am optimistic and believe that we can make change, but we have to all be involved and engaged.

Fabian Almazan's Alcanza Suite: I. Vida Absurda y Bella

Drumming Innovator Justin Brown,
Known for His Work with Thundercat & Ambrose Akinmusire,
Makes His First Statement As A Bandleader With NYEUSI, Swahili for “Black”

Available June 29, 2018 in Biopholio™ Format, Digital Downloads & Streaming via Biophilia Records

Featuring Jason Lindner and Fabian Almazan on keyboards & synthesizers,
Mark Shim on EWI, And Burniss Earl Travis on upright and electric basses

After years as an essential member of groups led by Ambrose Akinmusire, Thundercat, and Flying Lotus, –  he’s also been tapped to round out the sound for Esperanza Spalding, Terence Blanchard, Bilal, Vijay Iyer, and many others – Brown is finally ready to extend his reach beyond the drumset to lead his own band, NYEUSI.

“Being a bandleader, specifically, is very important because I want to give back,” Brown says. “I want drummers to see themselves in the front line, full effect, composing and artistry. We’re more than drummers. We can write, compose, and lead a band. There is no Justin Brown band; it’s featuring everyone.”

Rounding out NYEUSI are Jason Lindner and Fabian Almazan on keyboards, Burniss Earl Travis on bass, and Mark Shim on electronic wind controller. Brown on drums is the engine propelling an intoxicating synthesis of varying influences that offers deep groove and charged improvisations. “I cannot think of a more highly anticipated debut by an artist right now that is also a lynchpin in today’s creative music scene,” says WBGO’s Simon Rentner.

NYEUSI, pronounced nee-yo-see, is Swahili for the word “black.”  Brown studied the African language at Berkeley High School in Berkley California instead of taking the more conventional French or Spanish. He doesn't remember much, but that word always stayed with him.
 
It’s is also the word he uses to describe the album’s sound. “The color black alone has so much beauty and darkness. That’s ultimately what I’m trying to convey," he says. "I'm a black man living in a dark time. My experiences through that color always come up rooted in blackness."

As Modern Drummer points out about Brown, “there’s nothing about the way he plays that boxes him into any particular era or camp.” NYEUSI is a modern-sounding and forward-thinking record in every respect, not defined by genre, style, or groove.  Brown says, “it’s a jazz album, it’s a hip hop album, it’s an instrumental album. Jazz is living in the now.” He says he can’t help adapting to all kinds of styles. “You have to have one foot in the past and one foot in the future, and that’s what I hope for people to hear when they hear this album.”

Born in Richmond, California to a gospel musician mother, Brown was introduced to music in the womb, where she says he would kick to the beat. He started drumming at two years-old  in church and began his formal jazz education at 10 with the Young Musician’s Program at the University of California at Berkeley and later Berkeley High. Encouraged to attend Juilliard after being awarded a full scholarship, he moved to New York in 2004, but withdrew on the first day of classes to pursue a life-changing career experience over education, playing on the road with Kenny Garrett and Josh Roseman.

Trust, patience, and persistence have been instrumental to Brown’s artistic maturity. Gaining the confidence and support from some of today’s premier music-makers have only sharpened his clarity, purpose, and philosophy as a bandleader.  “I strongly feel that the music will speak for itself,” says Brown. “And even though I was blessed to write this music, it’s essentially not for me; it’s for the people. I was given something to give it back.” With NYEUSI he’s ready to make his statement.

NYEUSI will be released by Biophilia Records as a Biopholio™, a double-sided, 20-panel origami-inspired medium bursting with vibrant artwork and liner notes; each one made entirely out of FSC-certified, robust paper, hand-folded and printed using plant-based inks. In each Biopholio™ is a unique code to digitally download the music in the preferred format. This innovative design caters to the environmentally conscious listener, who is aware of the harmful effects of plastic in the environment, yet feels that a digital download is just not enough. Biophilia’s artists are united by a common interest in having a positive impact on the environment and our communities. To that end, they collaborate with organizations that specialize in conservation, sustainability and outreach initiatives.

For the past twelve years, Brown has been learning from and playing with some of the world’s greatest musicians. Aside from his most notable contributions, he’s also been tapped to round out the sound for Esperanza Spalding, Terence Blanchard, Gretchen Parlato, Christian McBride, Stefon Harris, Bilal, Ledisi, Nicholas Payton, Yosvany Terry, Vijay Iyer, and many others
