It s not everyday that scouring Discogs for rare records lands you a compilation deal on BBE.

I’m not gonna front like I knew what this record was before it came across my desk, because I didn’t. In all my years digging jazz records, paying special attention to Blue Note and Donald Byrd titles especially, I have never heard of or seen this LP in the wild before. Maybe it just never…

“Did I expect to do this shit once I got out of college? Hell no…” Durand Jones & The Indications’ sophomore album is dripping with the aesthetics of years past but planted firmly in the present; warm and sweet while communicating an urgency that is very much 2019. The breakout success of their self-titled debut have…
There’s a lot of talk about the classic “midwest sound” of Indiana soul revivalists Durand Jones & The Indications, but frontman Durand Jones is actually from Louisiana; he only found himself in Indiana for college shortly before he started playing with the band. Regardless, Jones & co. nail that vintage Motown Tamla sound, with the country-fried sheen of the best Stax sides…
Sweet, sweet soul. On first listen, you might mistake Durand Jones & The Indication for a vintage group. It s an easy error to make, especially since the Indiana trio of Durand Jones, drummer Aaron Frazer, and guitarist Blake Rhein, excel in that vintage sound (think Motown Tamla Stax). This particular 7 is the first release since their breakout 2016 self-titled debut, and finds the…
Red, yellow, and blue make brown. Duval Timothy coming through with the lovely solo piano sounds of Brown Loop. The UK-based musician-slash-artist takes a conceptual approach here, taking inspiration from the tradition of hip-hop sampling and looping by playing with simple repeating phrases (or loops) and gradually building them out into beautiful compositions. In effect, Duval is…
