Ari Joshua, Delvon Lamarr, Skerik, Grant Schroff

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to experience the soulful sounds of "Fresh" - the latest offering from Color Red Music. This recording captures the essence of that classic Blue Note era, when music was all about improvisation, creativity, and raw emotion.

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to experience the soulful sounds of "Fresh" - the latest offering from Color Red Music. This recording captures the essence of that classic Blue Note era, when music was all about improvisation, creativity, and raw emotion.

Recorded in two days at Mell Dettmer's Studio Soli, the band was powered by her husband Mamadu's secret recipies. The music was effortless, the hardest part was the struggle of carrying Delvon's Organ up and down a muddy hill.

So sit back, relax, and let the soulful melodies of "Fresh" transport you back to a time when music was all about passion and authenticity. With every note, every beat, and every riff, you'll feel the energy and excitement of a bygone era. So turn up the volume, let the music take over, and let yourself be swept away by the timeless sound of "Fresh". Music Influences: Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, Trey Anastasio Band, Soule Monde, Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, Phish, Medeski Martin and Wood, Grant Green, Kenny Burrell, The New Mastersounds, James Brown, Dr Lonnie Smith, Soulive, Skerik

Music Inspiration: Studying and playing with the masters in NYC, listening to old records and learning the music by ear. Huge fan of the Organ Trio. The session got booked with Skerik, and Delvon Lamarr, and at the time Delvon was touring heavily. We have about a weeks notice, and I wrote the album. Inspiration was in the air I guess.

Artist Statement: This was one of those effortless sessions. The players are all fantastic and it was a good olde time. Mel the engineer, her husband, Mamadu, cooked us some amazing food, and we knocked it out in about two days. The hardest part was getting Delvon's Organ down the muddy hill in the rain. Them things are heavy!

The record was tracked in Woodstock, New York. “MOTM” is just a small window into the unique body of work recorded on this session. The tile inspired by the album art by visionary artist Burgundy Viscosi.

Quote;

“You gotta let those doves fly, in Woodstock, there are doves painted on everything and that was the theme of the week. It was a really beautiful experience to record with John and Billy. ‘Meeting of The Minds’ is the raw first notes we played, we just let the birds fly. They were really generous with letting me into their worlds. I had a moment while grabbing coffee after all was wrapped, Burgandy who did the artwork has a mural at COSM and I got an invite from her to visit with Alex Grey at his house out there, it was pretty mind-blowing. Everything was lining up, I sent a text to my friend and mentor Michael Shrieve who played at Woodstock, it was really special. I am excited to let these doves fly.” - A. Joshua

The artwork speaks for itself. Just like "Meeting of The Minds" which is due out February 9th, 2023...

The Prodigy - The Saga of Milly and Fee P2

Ari Joshua, Russ Lawton, Ray Paczkowski, & Scott Kettner

“The Prodigy” was written in Burlington, Vermont just a few weeks after “The Beacon Jams.” On many of these releases, as you parse his inflections and tones, Phisheads will note that they are at times reminiscent of big red himself. This is part of the shape-shifting tapestry that is revealed as you unpeel the layers of Ari Joshua’s musical

“The Prodigy” was written in Burlington, Vermont just a few weeks after “The Beacon Jams.” On many of these releases, as you parse his inflections and tones, Phisheads will note that they are at times reminiscent of big red himself. This is part of the shape-shifting tapestry that is revealed as you unpeel the layers of Ari Joshua’s musical influences. This song was written as a tribute, and an etude and Ray and Russ did a beautiful job interpreting the good. To dedicate one’s life to music, one must cast a wide net. The sheet music for all new releases is available on his website in the merch tab, maybe so, or, maybe not.

“The architecture in Burlington, the old churches, the lake, it all made for a magical carousel journey in my mind. I imagined what I would write if I was there at that time, and it just flowed off the page. ”

The Clinic

Ari Joshua, Russ Lawton, Ray Paczkowski

Ari Joshua’s adventurous and recognizable guitar tone is a unique compliment to Soule Monde and Trey Anastasio Band keyboardist Ray Paczkowski and drummer Russ Lawton. In this song, Russ’s therapeutically soulful beat pulses right out of the kit and into your heart, intertwining with Ray and Ari’s salacious melodies and grooves. This trio

Ari Joshua’s adventurous and recognizable guitar tone is a unique compliment to Soule Monde and Trey Anastasio Band keyboardist Ray Paczkowski and drummer Russ Lawton. In this song, Russ’s therapeutically soulful beat pulses right out of the kit and into your heart, intertwining with Ray and Ari’s salacious melodies and grooves. This trio consistently delivers the goods this being their 11th release. “The Clinic” is a reference to when the song was recorded, a few weeks after the legendary “Beacon Jams” fundraiser. Artwork by Rimbaraw.

“The pandemic provided obstacles but it also created opportunities. It was a lemons-to-lemonade moment for sure. Ray and Russ have a deep vibe. At times I thought, I never heard them play exactly like this before. It shows you how incredible they are as players. They are just all in when it comes to making art together. They could read my mind a little, they are really sweet people. I gotta thank Trey for playing a role in creating a protocol, it really saved me, I quarantined, walked into the clinic, waited for results, and then boom, straight to the studio. Ben Collette was also very helpful in making this music, his studio has that reclaimed barn thing going on, Vermont is a real hang.”
