The Future Jazz Funk of Simon Grey

2017-10-28
hi everyone and welcome yeah sorry for all the skills here I didn't have time to tidy it up anymore it's quite late past midnight 1:30 a.m. so I should have gone to bed already but I have this in my heart I wanted to do this already earlier but postponed it again and again but now I decided to do the spontaneously it's again music related or related to a particular musician called Simon gray many probably don't know Simon gray but for me he's the Godfather of synthesizer based jazz funk new funk funk funk house or however you would like to call this and he never released any own album that was just one release available as Japan import so I ordered this from Japan for I think $50 or $60 so quite expensive this was a serious started by Rasmus Faber also a great house musician and he presented some really outstanding artists like opal opal was also a CD with compiled tracks from Richard Earnshaw and this one is from Simon gray with some of his own tracks that you could only hear on yeah some EPS so he'll find really some great tracks like a lactic acid this was a really great dance track new jazz kind with this let's call it maybe yeah girl hectic sound so very very Spacey sound also some remixes he did for I don't know real people MIG will mix and so on and he had this particular style I was always loved with this mook bass lines really very very organic great grooves most tracks were house related because Rasmus Faber is a house musician but some had this offbeat kind of breakbeat stuff like like sweet and sour which is a remix from from the Crusaders and Simon gray some time ago I think a month ago started an own pledge campaign to release his own first real album yeah the track you can hear in the background is already an unreleased track which will appear on this album called what's the name of this track Akuma and you can see he already reached 74% and 15 days are still available and I would of course laugh if he manages the hundred percent which is necessary to make the album living if you if you like if you are if you love this really new jazz kind of electric just let's call it future Jes he calls it inst himself jazz fusion but really modern jazz is not this type you know from the foetal Chick Corea or something which are more classic type of fusion this is really electronic based with heavy use of Moog synthesizers analog stuff and so on with real drums and so on and so on really it's hard to describe but you you know maybe Galactica suit which I'm playing now in the background so these this is the kind of music that when I still did music years ago I mean I'm talking about an area 20 years ago and I'm not as talented as him I mean he's he's a God of keyboards of synthesizers and so on I was just some hobby musician but this was the kind of music I would have loved to create music like he currently does or did ten years ago and yeah if you pledge an album for download costs fifteen dollars a CD will cost $32 there are of course other options a studio day with him for way more I don't know for $7,700 Simon gray key session whose album downloads here acoustic house concert blues album for $2,400 so if we have someone who has the money to afford something like this yeah but I think it would be enough if many of you who like this kind of music I often played tracks from him the this this great house music I think it's definitely worth pledging for this musician we can have a look at some of his you get of course access to some videos for example here we have some of his new home sessions for the upcoming album you hear the vocoder like Harry Hancock did in the 70s so it's a little bit retro with its retro touch with with heritage of all the great funk fusion experimental jazz musicians from that period of course with modern sound but even this here you can see some home synthesizer yes an original clarinet erodes his he's talking about chord progressions also quite interesting so for all musicians among us I don't call myself musician but yeah I mean he shows some really tricky stuff here let's listen to this an unusual interval may be minor food what the health some he talks about the sound of the Fender Rhodes I think he's using a Mac tool and of course you also get some access to unreleased tracks some remixes he did for or real people he here is the salary's track I'm playing the background takuma so I think it's really worth pledging for this album as this will be an outstanding revolutionary kind of music which is not really heard in the piece times get this dance crap which is based on some loops I don't know with this not sure but this primitive stuff I mean this is real he's a real musician he's coming from jazz and putting all together electronica breakbeat and so on and so on so for all those music lovers I would beg you to pledge as well just take the digital album which costs fifteen dollars or something and you have access to download it when it's coming released in one two months or something but I I'm sure it's really worth it I love his music and I'm so glad he's doing this pledge campaign so we can finally I can finally have a full album with with his tracks not only some remixes but I'm still loving this alone although it was released I'm not sure I think 2000 something 2007 so 10 years ago but they the tracks are still fresh when you listen to them today so guys if you love music if you like Harry Hancock hello Chick Corea Jeff Laura all those Punk Fusion musicians from the 70s and if you love modern house and New Jersey as a nova being filled whatever Kyoto of just massive and so on and so on this guy puts this all together and creates his own thing and I would laugh if some of you could support this elements well and I hope we will reach the hundred percent within the 15 days I don't know how many pledges we have 173 pledges so let's add 50 of you I have nearly 60,000 subscribers I'm sure we find many who love this kind of music not only Metallica or ac/dc or I don't know I mean him but I mean read music which is coming from real musicians yeah so wanted to share this with you Simon Gray is definitely worth pledging for this album I don't know him in person I just once called him some years ago wanted to talk with him if I could use some of his tracks or some unreleased demos he he had for my purposes also for the database we had a nice talk but he back then he was not quite satisfied with the idea he said he wants to yeah to cut to make some cut and leave all this period behind although I still think this music he did then back then is still great and wonderful of course this what he doesn't know is way more sophisticated that same so maybe with most of the tracks on this album are rather I would say he had based on sample sent and also more sequencer type of music while here he works with real musicians especially on drums and so on and of course at his book bass lines everything and then yeah so yeah I just wanted to share with you before this campaign stops in 15 days so when I post this video it will be probably 14 days yeah please I beg you let's find enough pledges to let him reach the 100% I think it's really worth it and you will definitely not regret hearing this album just listen to the music in the background and you will hear this is something completely yeah wonderful I don't know how to call it Extra Ordinary vagin whatever whatever so yeah I think I'm finished of course if I was a great musician I would have probably made it music like him yeah but unfortunately I'm not so I have to to hope he will finish and he will reach this goal to finish this album and so we can all enjoy it I will maybe try contacted him contacting him again if he allows me to play some of his samples I'm not sure if this will be released under label or if he released s-- if you will release it under his own name he has an old label I think which is called nasty productions yeah but check it out check the pledge campaign it's the link is in my video description have a look if you are interested there are some track samples also so yeah but 15 dollars is nothing for a really great Ossining album and you are a part of all this so yeah thank you for your attention but just as a musician or former or pseudo musician I have to support guys like him whom makes this yeah without any support from any stupid big Sony BMG labels or something I mean he creates this with his own energy money and so on and we can support him so yeah I finished I could go to bed now just edit this video so you can watch it later I hope you enjoyed it anyhow and of course lots of new interesting stuff is coming like this thank you to evil or s the new version of that ravallo which is small one and lots of surprises are coming so be patient a bit one week two weeks and you will see lots of surprises on this channel but again please please pledge for this great musician Simon grey one of the greatest in my opinion just funk and you jazz future jazz fusion musicians currently here yeah yeah this was it if you Simon watch this here please even if you don't reach the goal please make this album yeah we will try to find some other donators some other pleasures somehow currently 173 I mean must be more people around just spread the word I'm sure there are many of you who like this kind of music yeah finished otherwise my ever I will stop again thanks again for your attention and have a good night bye-bye you
