{"product_id":"calvert-matt-million-seller-cd-mint-m-mint-m","title":"Calvert, Matt - Million Seller (CD) | Mint (M) Mint (M)","description":"Million Seller is the new electro-acoustic album and project led by Matt Calvert, one of the founding members of the underground alt-rock sensation Three Trapped Tigers\n\nThe inspiration for the project originated as Matt revisited his collection of early 70s releases by Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi group - some of the pianist's most overlooked and least understood albums. \"The concept of Million Seller was to create a contemporary sound with similar elements to the Mwandishi band, putting the electronics and percussion at the forefront, merging organic and synthetic.\"\n\nMwandishi (originally a sextet, later a septet with added electronics) had three horn players: Million Seller has none, instead using three synth players: Calvert himself is joined by Stale Storlokken of free- form experimental legends Supersilent, and by the unclassifiable improvisor Matthew Bourne. The line-up is completed by drummer Dave Smith, who brings his comprehensive knowledge of the Gambian tradition of Sabar drumming alongside his extensive jazz background, and a trio of guest musicians: Mamadou Saar on sabar and djembe drums, Kadialy Koudate on kora, and Sam Wilson on contemporary percussion.\n\nThe results are a striking fusion of ancient and modern sounds, of heavy yet playful synth interactions topped by driving acoustic percussion, of wild improvisation mixed with moments of ambient beauty, all creating a sonic identity that's every bit as unique, wide-ranging and unforgettable as its inspiration.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Whirlwind Recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: CD-WWR-4816\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Calvert, Matt","offers":[{"title":"- JAZZ *NEW*","offer_id":45105354604659,"sku":"6GDUXI-FAU7-G9","price":15.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/jazz-new_v34Pr.jpg?v=1781535132","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/calvert-matt-million-seller-cd-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
