{"product_id":"irvine-weldon-liberated-brother-5060149622919","title":"IRVINE,WELDON - LIBERATED BROTHER Vinyl LP","description":"Weldon Irvine's debut as a leader remains one of the most fiercely idiosyncratic electric jazz outings of the early '70s. Innovative not only for it's moody, nuanced jazz-funk sensibility, Liberated Brother also translates the uncommonly strong passion of Irvine's political and philosophical views into it's 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Liberated Brother \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Here's Where I Came in \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Blues Wel-Don \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Mr. Clean \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Gloria \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Homey \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Juggah Buggah \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Sister Sanctified\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure Pleasure","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51225302106397,"sku":"PUPE1001.1","price":40.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/experiencevinyl.com\/products\/irvine-weldon-liberated-brother-5060149622919","provider":"Experience Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
