{"product_id":"weldon-irvine-liberated-brother","title":"Weldon Irvine Liberated Brother","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeldon Irvine’s debut as a leader remains one of the most fiercely idiosyncratic electric jazz outings of the early ‘70s. Innovative not only for its moody, nuanced jazz-funk sensibility, Liberated Brother also translates the uncommonly strong passion of Irvine’s political and philosophical views into its grooves, creating music of rare sincerity and ambition. While the record’s first-half features longer, more meditative songs, like the Latin-inspired title tune and “Blues Wel-Don,” the second side of Liberated Brother commands the most attention. With sterling contributions from guitarist Tommy Smith, bassist Roland Wilson, and drummer Napoleon Revels-Bey, cuts like “Mr. Clean” and “Sister Sanctified” (later sampled by Boogie Down Productions for the rap classic “My Philosophy”) achieve a deeply funky consciousness forged from elements of jazz, soul, and psychedelia; “Juggah Buggah” even features Irvine on Moog synthesizer, further expanding the LP’s cosmic reach.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRe-mastering by: Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e NM-1001 -Artist-Weldon Irvine\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability: Pre-Order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Weldon Irvine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53427047235768,"sku":"8E648D-XGK2-YQ","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/weldon-irvine-liberated-brother_YYIXa.jpg?v=1777646958","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/weldon-irvine-liberated-brother","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
