{"product_id":"the-nje-afloat-cd","title":"The NJE - Afloat (CD) |","description":"Swiftly abbreviated to The NJE, this ‘Near Jazz Experience’ was formed by multi-instrumentalist Terry Edwards, bassist Mark Bed- ford and drummer Simon Charterton in the spring of 2010. Look no further than the Hendrix cover, Voodoo Child for a way into their world. The familiar reinvented and taken to a parallel world. Born out of a love of improvised music which was accessible (funky beats and grooves) yet experi- mental enough to break the mould of middle-of-the-road jamming, the trio built up a following at a residency at the monthly Sartorial Records music nights. The NJE perform music intuitively, with an ear to accessible beats \u0026amp; tonality with Edwards’ melodic flights of fancy dancing over the top. Afloat came about after several record- ing sessions, both in concert and in the studio, and completed by the band using harsh editing techniques overseen by Hot Chip front- man Alexis Taylor at the mixdown stage. The album’s seven tracks are complimented by the addition of four previously released down- load\/vinyl tracks! Mainstays of the NJE sound are Edwards’ double-sax technique - playing alto \u0026amp; tenor simultaneously, Charterton’s poly- rhythmic funk patterns and Bedford’s fluid but grounding basslines. The whole is a near-jazz experience...","brand":"The NJE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45073316282483,"sku":"WPI0UA-PM48-67","price":14.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/afloat-cd_ZIlWv.jpg?v=1780688963","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/the-nje-afloat-cd","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
