I started following On the Corner Records when a guest (Edgar Moon) on my radio show played “Agama” by Collocutor off their debut album “Instead”. Since then I have been a fan. On the Corner don’t conform, they don’t sell out in the name of money. When you allow artists to be creative sometimes they create something brilliant. Take an already great track from the album ” Gozo”  produced by Nick Woodmansey (AKA Emanative) give it to The Expansions and hey presto In my humble opinion the best track of the year so far. It has everything I love a driving heavy head nodding drum, amazing brass and electronic drops. I don’t think I’ve had such a positive reaction about a track on my show simply perfection. I’m hoping for them this gets the exposure it deserves so the label can keep doing what they do well, not conforming.

Collaboration on Emanative’s ‘The Light Years of The Darkness’ album for the Steve Reid Foundation

music, , , , , , ,

Some time ago, Emanative asked if we would collaborate on a track for an album to raise money  for the Steve Reid Foundation, an organization set up in memory of legendary jazz drummer Steve Reid to offer help to people working in music when going through times of crisis and also to support emerging talent. Of course we said yes!

We chose to record a version of ‘Fire’ from Joe Henderson’s album ‘The Elements’, a particular favourite of both Emanative and Collocutor’s Tamar and a natural choice to fit the album’s expansive spiritual jazz thread (inspired by artists Steve Reid had worked with such as Sun Ra and Miles Davis). The session was hugely enjoyable, particularly as we were also joined by the talents of Finn Peters (flute) and Gemma Williams (harp) alongside the regular members of the Emanative musical family.

And now the album is available to pre-order on bandcamp! The 2xLP limited edition heavyweight vinyl is released on 16th March, so get in there quick. With numerous guest musicians from various backgrounds it’s great music, all for a good cause.
