The Music Factory Label, February 2023

BY M.V. SMITH

Best known as the founder of Madison Park’s Music Factory music school, guitarist Ari Joshua also operates a label of the same name, steadily releasing choice cuts and album-length statements from his stockpile of genre-spanning studio collaborations with a murderer’s row of musical talent. The watchword is versatility. On his 2021 single, “Say Whatcha Wanna Say,” Joshua conjures Grant…

"The Prodigy" The Saga of Milly and Fee Part 2 is Out Today!  

"The Prodigy" The Saga of Milly and Fee Part 2 is Out Today January 7th, 2023 

“The Prodigy” was written in Burlington, Vermont just a few weeks after “The Beacon Jams.” On many of these releases, as you parse his inflections and tones, Phisheads will note that they are at times reminiscent of big red himself. This is part of the shape-shifting tapestry that is revealed as you unpeel the layers of Ari Joshua’s musical influences. This song was written as a tribute, and an etude and Ray and Russ did a…

Ari Joshua, John Medeski, Billy Martin, Jason Fraticelli 

This was one of the most magical sessions I have been a part of. I absolutely have loved these players since high school, I saw them around the same time as I discovered Jazz, Phish, and the Dead. My Jazz band was touring the globe and playing festivals and I was exposed to such a core of great music. 

In Woodstock there are dovs on every corner, painted, and left over fairy dust from the festival 50 years ago. John and Billy where presented with…

BIG HIGH - POSSESIONS   

RECORDED at Avast Studios

Barrett Martin, Ari Joshua, Robert Owen aka Mesa, and Sandy Rowe Dickerson

Working on the Rancho de La Luna Sessions I noticed how much I am in love with this band.

A precious album of great ROCK N ROLL. This just came together and I wish it was my job to make more albums like this. The music flowed some songs where carry overs and some where new this one was from a Seed Barrett planted.

I miss this band. But you check it out!

 

It is MMM GOOD>

It’s great when you remember, all you had to do was the normal thing you do when you had to do something before to feel more aligned with your truth in regards to feeling better and being able to be creative and present and inspired to think clear and take care of healing and feeling better so you can be the best for the most amount of people, and you find the thing you had to do wasn’t a rational thought or explainable in any particular way, it wasn’t and generally isn’t tied to any action or contingent on…

Art work options for new release with Robert Glasper, KJ Sawka, and Jason Fraticelli!  

This will be the second song from this session to be released. Eventually this will be a full album as with all the sessions Ari has been a part of in the last decade, but the cost of putting out a full album mixed with the lack of people buying music, has forced a single release approach. 'Eye's Only', the first release from this session got great reviews, and all the stuff is really special so we can't wait to share it with you!  Is there a design version that sticks out to you?
