<p>Sign up to the mailing list to hear upcoming releases as soon as they come out! <br>This one is coming March 15th, 2024!</p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/8863c35da585c798b05862502a6ba6a17993cb63/original/screenshot-2024-03-02-at-4-34-51-am.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" height="946" width="1332" /><p>Music Factory Records Unveils "Rare Groove"<br><strong>Ari Joshua, Skerik, Delvon Lamarr, & Grant Schroff: </strong><br>A Sonic Odyssey Led by an All-Star Ensemble<br> <br>Music Factory Records is excited to announce the release of "Rare Groove," the newest single from an all-star cast of musicians. The single features composer Ari Joshua on guitar, Delvon Lamarr on Hammond organ, Skerik on sax, and Grant Schroff on drums.</p><p>The timeless quartet form a tight-knit ensemble with the ease and comfort of a familiar local crew. As with the previous batch of releases, the whole band plays as one unit. Lamarr’s warm organ sound and the light crunch of Joshua’s guitar sit above the rhythm section locked in the pocket. Skerik’s stellar saxophone phrasing paints vivid pictures all around the groove.<br> <br>For this recording, the sources of the fat tone are at once in the instruments, the hands of the players, and a rare form of recording process. Only high-quality ‘vintage only’ audio equipment was used both by Studio Soli for tracking & by Blue Mallard Studios for all the mixing. Mastering was done by Doug Kreb’s Mastering Company and the artwork created by Deep Groove Designs. The bass line, guitar riffs, and sax lines come together to create a sonic masterpiece that moves listeners to the groove — from start to finish.<br> <br>With over a quarter of a million spins thanks to editorial recommendations from Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming sites, the first tracks from this album have been well-received. ‘Soulmine’, ‘Fresh’, ‘Spooky’, & ‘Say Whatcha Wanna Say’ from the last batch of releases were featured on a handful of radio stations, magazines, & podcasts.<br> <br>Ari Joshua is on a mission to release 24 songs in 2024. Building on the success of last month's releases “Country Stroll”, and “Elephant Walk” featuring the iconic John Medeski and Billy Martin, “Rare Groove” continues the organ funk and groove theme in Joshua’s recent releases.</p><p><br>Credits:<br>Ari Joshua - Guitar<br>Skerik - Saxophone<br>Delvon Lamarr - Keyboards<br>Grant Schroff - Drums</p><p>Tracking Engineer - Mell Dettmer, Studio Soli<br>Overdub Engineer - Jason Gray, Blue Mallard Recording<br>Mixing Engineer - Jason Gray, Blue Mallard Recording<br>Mastering Engineer - Doug Krebs, Doug Krebs Mastering<br><br> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/541df079424a7767cb21ff5daf3e699a77733a6f/original/screenshot-2024-03-02-at-4-36-17-am.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" height="940" width="1334" />

Tunes Around review of Elephant Walk
<p>Jan 29</p><p>"Elephant Walk": Ari Joshua's Genre-Bending Masterpiece<br>Award-winning guitarist, composer, and producer Ari Joshua has once again pushed the boundaries of music with his latest release "Elephant Walk." This fascinating composition showcases Joshua's diverse influences spanning jazz, blues and Americana. Collaborating with John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on drums, Joshua has created a musical masterpiece that takes listeners on a very interesting journey, through the adventures of a young elephant.<br><br>The collaboration between Joshua, Medeski and Martin is a harmonious blend of talent and creativity. Medeski's piano sets a sonic landscape, while Martin adds a touch of New Orleans funk, by not using a traditional drum kit, but instead masterfully layering percussion to create the compelling sound. As the tone is set, Joshua's guitar emerges with its deep, resonant tones that resemble the majestic bellows of an elephant raising its trunk.<br><br>"Elephant Walk" has been masterfully engineered by Chris Bitnner at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY, mastered by Ed Brooks of Resonant Mastering, and mixed by Ari Raskin of Deepwater Studios in New York City. The artwork for the single was done by Paul Delaney, who has perfectly encapsulated the poetic narrative of the song.<br><br>Joshua himself describes "Elephant Walk" as a carefree and whimsical melody that tells the tale of a young elephant on a quest for truth and freedom. The song takes listeners on a soul-searching journey, as the majestic creature explores vast landscapes and encounters various animals and symbolic characters along the way.<br><br>With "Elephant Walk" Ari Joshua, together with John Medeski and Billy Martin, has once again proved his prowess as a musician who fearlessly pushes the boundaries of genres, creating very unique and imaginative music. This latest release is a testament to his talent and his ability to create music that resonates with listeners on a deep and emotional level, with just a touch of whimsy.<br><br>LINKS: Website | Merch & more | Instagram | Facebook | Spotify | Soundcloud | Bandcamp</p><hr><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.tunesaround.com/post/elephant-walk-ari-joshua-s-genre-bending-masterpiece">https://www.tunesaround.com/post/elephant-walk-ari-joshua-s-genre-bending-masterpiece</a></p><p> </p>

<p>South African-born and currently US-based guitarist, songwriter, and session musician <strong>Ari Joshua</strong> is out with a new project under the moniker <strong>Guitari</strong>. The project has just released its first track titled <i>Elon’s Musk</i> and in Joshua’s own words, it is a fantastical voyage that merges the realms of synthwave and bass music with an almost ethereal touch. Collaborating on the track alongside Joshua is Canadian-born and also currently US-based producer <strong>iLL Gates</strong>, along with multi-instrumentalist <strong>Cory Cavasos</strong> providing multiple layers of cello on the track. <i>Guitari, Cory Cavazos & iLL Gates – Elon’s Musk</i> is quite the attention grabber from this new project that combines both classic and current sounds with mind-etching results.</p>
<p><i>Elon’s Musk</i> opens with a bouncing tape-delayed synth lead that is very reminiscent of <i>Space Intro</i> by <strong>The Steve Miller Band</strong> which precedes their classic hit track <i>Fly Like An Eagle</i>. An eclectic and distant-sounding drum groove follows the synth lead open and quickly transitions into the track’s full sound with a dense lo-fi drum groove on top of a throbbing bass drone, orchestral string chords, and a crystallized synth bell lead melody. Next, the bell synth takes a supportive role behind a new analog lead synth melody with fast portamento that quickly arpeggiates a few rounds before the synth bells return to the front with a newer more intense melody. What sticks out during this passage of the synth bells melody is the cello counter melody provided by Cavasos which brings on an extra layer of ear candy in head nodding fashion.</p>
<p>At the song’s midpoint, we get a frantic change of direction as the opening tape-delayed lead synth returns now accompanied by the eclectic drum groove that followed it in the song’s introduction. The lead synth quickly makes way for various droid-like sound design that next leads to an orchestral breakdown section featuring Cavasos at its forefront. Multiple cello layers fill this breakdown section from fast-moving bowed cello vamps to a pizzicato-plucked melody. The orchestral breakdown segment ends as another round of the fast arpeggiating analog synth returns before making its way back to the main synth bell melody for a final passage. This time, the bell synth’s melody is accompanied by both the cello counter melody and the fast-moving cello vamp from the breakdown section.</p>
<p><i>Guitari, Cory Cavazos & iLL Gates – Elon’s Musk</i> comes to a close by returning once more to its opening tape-delayed analog lead synth fading its way into nothing. The track is currently available for streaming and is also the first release by Joshua to include an Atmos spatial audio mix. <i>Elon’s Musk</i> will stick with you following the first listen with its captivating mix of instruments and melodies from all contributors. It’s a great start for this new project and we are highly anticipating what else is to come from Guitari.</p>

The piece, absent of vocals lacks no verbal boundaries. It explores its space with persistent drumming laced with bubbles of synth to lift listeners into sprinkles of keys and a subtle distortion of bass. It's wonderful, explorative, and different. If there was one phrase to describe it, I would say that "Elon's Musk" is a cosmic-infused cultural bliss. With classical influence as the piece goes on to the culturally rich weaving of genres and spaces, it's a must-listen for intrigue alone. The layers of ambient guitar from Ari Joshua combined with the cello of Cory Cavazos stand out throughout the piece, changing the scope of the creation.<br><br>Ari Joshua's skills are enhanced by the work of iLL Gates. Irony aside, this artist hailing from Canada offers his expertise as a producer but like Joshua he is also an educator with experience spanning over a decade thus far.

Interview with Indifferential Magazine
<p>Indifferential Magazine - Meet ARI JOSHUA<br>Feb 01, 2024</p><p><br>Where can we find you right now and what are you up to?</p><p>Right now you can find me at www.arijoshua.com, there you can download sheet music for my music, sign up for mailing lists, read the news and listen to the tracks. As well I have a music school you can sign up for lessons, we also teach remotely so that can be found at www.musicfactorynw.com.</p><p><br>Is there a story behind these two new releases? What inspired you to create “Elephant Walk” & "Country Stroll"? One was a tribute to Bill Frisell? Tell us about your creative process.</p><p>I know Billy has a thing for exotic percussion, and he has an ear for the occult sounds. I have had this shaker with me for years, something I got in a museum in South Africa. I have a few, these are all like vintage instruments from hundreds of years ago. The sounds are really dimensional. I gifted one to Billy on day one, and he used it all over the session. On the trip we bought it we went to a huge game reserve and spent like a week driving around. Something impressive about seeing these animals in their habitat. We say herds of elephants, and one in particular we thought was going to walk into our car. Billy encouraged me to bring the art that made sense to share in the moment. I prepared like 30 new works, and this just came up. We would set an intention and be with a song, and then move to the next song. My creative process is to listen to the cats I am working with, to be vulnerable, and to also know when to take some ownership. There is a balance.</p><p>If you had to describe the essence of "Country Stroll" in a few words, what would they be, and why?</p><p>Country Stroll is like if Bill Frisell, Trey Anastasio, Jerry Garcia, Thelonius Monk, David Grisman, and Elvin Jones, had a love child and that love child was walking around the woods on a summer’s day drinking lemonade and honey.</p><p>How about “Elephant Walk”?</p><p>Elephant Walk is the sound of a family of majestic giant elephants walking the plains years before humans came on the scene. Being the largest creatures on the planet the music depicts a time when they were free to wander, to roam, and to walk about the bush and each eat 300 pounds or vegan food.</p><p>How did the collaboration with John Medeski and Billy Martin come to happen, and what unique elements did Medeski and Martin bring to the compositions?</p><p>When I was in NY I had the pleasure to have the best teachers, and classmates, and to be immersed in a scene that was just thriving on so many levels. Looking back I am unsure if we realized how lucky we all were. I would frequently see these guys play and say hi, and even tried to set up some collaborations at that time. It started with John and I talking about options. I think when I finished my EP with Ray Paczkowski and Russ Lawton, I reached out to about 15 or so friends and colleagues in NY about maybe doing something while I was out there. We didn’t know what the future had in store, but we knew that there was a protocol that could be followed, basically isolate and collaborate. I had some drummers in mind, and after talking to Billy, I was like well this is perfection, the gods are smiling on us. I sent John some charts to preview and he basically liked them all, Billy had a more philosophical outlook, and I learned so much from both of them. Just very nice genuine and focused individuals. Very like minded. I was really delighted to hear how generous they were with sharing how they do things in MMW. Little things, and I love those guys so much, there was a lot that they brought to the table. The most important was their presence, their vulnerability, and their incomparable life experiences. Brilliant human beings.</p><p>What do you think of AI in music? Will this change the way we produce and consume music?</p><p>No. There is no substitute for human expression tapped into the source, connected to the fountain of life. There is no substitute for the capacity to transform human struggle, pain, and joy into sounds that are filled with emotions.</p><p>What is the most difficult part for an artist these days? Could you tell us a bit about the obstacles you had to overcome?</p><p>It seems to be almost impossible for most artists to get to the level they should be at. It feels like a daily grind, not only is there the hours you put into your craft, the music, and the humanity, there is also the whole business side of things which is often not regulated, there are rarely unions, and the clubs oftentimes want to only pay you if they get paid. If there is an obstacle I feel like I have been through it. It's been a long journey, but it makes those moments where you get where it all lines up even more magical. I think the most challenging part is connecting the dots. Finding the resources to build or hire a team is often really hard because the skill sets you need can also work for tech companies or other industries that can keep up. One good thing about having been through so much is that if any one needs advice, or if there is a way I can help the next generation I can speak from experience. Kurt Rosenwinkel once told me, you climb up the mountain one step at a time. If you do that day after day year after year, you find people are asking you how you got so far up the mountain. In a way I am blessed. There are many people that ask me how I got so far up the mountain. The only thing is, to me all I can see is more mountain, more steps that need to be taken. It’s humbling. It really is a phenomenal path to take. My secret fantasy is that politics will actively debate the way we have treated my community, the artists. All in all it is really quite shocking. On the other hand look at how many artists there are to inspire us, and to represent humanity and stand as examples of some of the greatest accomplishments through unbelievable adversity. I have been talking to some folks about starting a patreon, or a blog, or a channel where I can be vulnerable and start to share some of those challenges. I don’t feel like I can share right now, but I am getting closer.</p><p>What initially sparked your interest in music, and how did you begin your journey as a musician? What was the first record you’ve listened to?</p><p>The first record I heard was Debussy at my Granny Queenies flat on Seapoint Road in Cape Town. She said I would run to the record player and say ‘Mimic’. After moving to the states I asked my folks for a guitar. I had a wind up fisher price record player. I loved it. My folks got me a piano and some lessons at age 8. I rebelled and asked for a guitar, and after about 5 years a neighbor bought me my first guitar. “The Terminator” had a built-in speaker, it was all black, and I started to learn by ear. The blues, and Jimi Hendrix, and that was it.</p><p>"Country Stroll" is described as a journey through sound, skill, and homage to musical greats. “Elephant Walk” has been described as the heartening sounds of a classic piano trio with an original twist… What should we wait for from you in the future?</p><p>More music, more education, more making the world better one moment at a time wIth sincerity, humbltude, gratitude, and in the spirit of the masters that came before.</p><p>My music will always come from my label Music Factory Records, look for about 2 tracks a month in 2024. I will always reinvest in education to help the future generations, and keep on going!</p><hr><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/indiefferential/meet-ari-joshua">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/indiefferential/meet-ari-joshua</a></p><hr><p> </p>

Indie Oclock review of Elephant Walk By: Victor Matheus
<p>Página inicial Notícia Ari Joshua é genial em novo lançamento delicioso de ouvir "Elephant Walk"<br>ARI JOSHUA É GENIAL EM NOVO LANÇAMENTO DELICIOSO DE OUVIR "ELEPHANT WALK"<br>indie oclock Fevereiro 01, 2024<br>Por: Victor Matheus</p><p>Ari Joshua lança o novo single "Elephant Walk" sendo o segundo trabalho lançado nesse ano. Antes, havia sido lançado os singles "Country Stroll" nesse ano e "Flask" no ano passado.</p><p>O guitarrista e compositor Ari Joshua revelou seu mais recente trabalho: “Elephant Walk” apresenta ícones do jazz John Medeski no órgão e Billy Martin na bateria.</p><p>Ari Joshua, John Medeski e Billy Martin canalizam juntos os sons animadores de um trio de piano clássico com um toque original. O piano de Medeski desliza graciosamente, um floreio fluido de enfeites pantanosos, tons gordos de órgão borbulhando de baixo. Em vez de usar uma bateria tradicional, Billy Martin orquestra várias camadas de percussão ao mesmo tempo para criar uma manta de polirritmos, vivos e em constante evolução, sinos melodiosos iluminando-se com os sabores do funk de Nova Orleans. À medida que a melodia de abertura serpenteia, a guitarra de Joshua emerge com um rugido profundo e ressonante, girando e mugindo como um elefante levantando sua própria tromba. Medeski inicia uma improvisação inspirada - um solo de percussão de Martin, amplo e abrangente, completa o círculo de “Elephant Walk”.</p><p>"Elephant Walk" tem uma introdução que é bem cativante, nós brasileiros amamos esse ritmo que explora o samba e o bossa nova, com batidas leves e suaves que exercem o poder de fazer nosso corpo dançar e então flui como se estivéssemos em uma noite de verão na beira da praia. Um clima gostoso e agradável reina na canção, onde podemos sentir o toque de órgão que traz a vibe mais jazz, as batidas o samba e então isso junto combinado com a guitarra a faixa fica intensa nessas notas sofisticadas que tem trechos intensos. A guitarra de Ari Joshua guia a melodia em um estilo único, com um poder de trazer trechos mais excêntricos que nos faz vibrar por dentro, com riffs desconcertantes geniais.</p><p>O trabalho de áudio de alto nível de todos os envolvidos – engenharia de Chris Bitnner da Applehead Recording em Woodstock, NY, masterização por Ed Brooks da Resonant Mastering e mixagem de Ari Raskin do Deepwater Studios na cidade de Nova York – ajudou a trazer o lançamento de “Elephant Walk” para a vida. Para a obra de arte, Paul Delaney aponta para a narrativa poética que ocorre na música.</p><p>"Elephant Walk" faz a gente sentir vivos, em uma faixa que estimula nossas emoções correr em nossas veias recuperando toda memória gostosa que já vivemos. Um hino clássico instrumental com certeza é fundamental para deixar o clima de qualquer ambiente leve e despojado.</p><p>Projetado por Chris Bitnner na Applehead Recording em Woodstock, NY</p><p>Masterização por Ed Brooks da Resonant Mastering</p><p>Mixagem por Ari Raskin do Deepwater Studios em Nova York</p><p>Obra de Paul Delaney</p><p>Guitarra de Ari Joshua</p><p>Órgão, Piano de John Medeski</p><p><br>Bateria e percussão por Billy Martin</p><p>Ouça aqui:</p><p>Ouça nossa playlist instrumental aqui:</p><p>https://arijoshua.com/</p><p>https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic</p><p>https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/</p><p>linktr.ee/MusicFactoryRecords</p><hr><p>English Text:</p><p>By: Victor Matheus</p><p>Ari Joshua releases the new single "Elephant Walk" being the second work released this year. Previously, the singles "Country Stroll" had been released this year and "Flask" last year.</p><p>Guitarist and composer Ari Joshua has revealed his latest work: “Elephant Walk” features jazz icons John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on drums.</p><p>Ari Joshua, John Medeski and Billy Martin together channel the uplifting sounds of a classical piano trio with an original twist. Medeski's piano glides gracefully, a fluid flourish of swampy embellishments, fat organ tones bubbling up from below. Instead of using a traditional drum set, Billy Martin orchestrates multiple layers of percussion at once to create a blanket of polyrhythms, lively and ever-evolving, melodious chimes lighting up with the flavors of New Orleans funk. As the opening melody meanders, Joshua's guitar emerges with a deep, resonant growl, swirling and mooing like an elephant raising its own trunk. Medeski launches into an inspired improvisation – a wide, sweeping percussion solo from Martin brings “Elephant Walk” full circle.</p><p>"Elephant Walk" has an introduction that is very captivating, we Brazilians love this rhythm that explores samba and bossa nova, with light and smooth beats that have the power to make our body dance and then flows as if we were on a night out. summer at the beach. A pleasant and pleasant atmosphere reigns in the song, where we can feel the organ touch that brings a more jazzy vibe, the samba beats and then combined with the guitar the track becomes intense in these sophisticated notes that have intense sections. Ari Joshua's guitar guides the melody in a unique style, with a power to bring more eccentric parts that makes us vibrate inside, with brilliant disconcerting riffs.</p><p>Top-notch audio work from everyone involved – engineering by Chris Bitnner of Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY, mastering by Ed Brooks of Resonant Mastering, and mixing by Ari Raskin of Deepwater Studios in New York City – helped bring about the release from “Elephant Walk” to life. For the artwork, Paul Delaney points to the poetic narrative that occurs in the music.</p><p>"Elephant Walk" makes us feel alive, in a track that stimulates our emotions to run through our veins, recovering every pleasant memory we've ever experienced. A classic instrumental anthem is certainly essential to leave the atmosphere of any environment light and relaxed.</p><p>Engineered by Chris Bitnner at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY</p><p>Mastering by Ed Brooks of Resonant Mastering</p><p>Mixing by Ari Raskin of Deepwater Studios in New York City</p><p>Artwork by Paul Delaney</p><p>Guitar by Ari Joshua</p><p>Organ, Piano by John Medeski<br><br>Drums, Percussion by Billy Martin</p><p> </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.indieoclock.com.br/2024/02/ari-joshua-e-genial-em-novo-lancamento.html?m=1" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.indieoclock.com.br/2024/02/ari-joshua-e-genial-em-novo-lancamento.html?m=1</a></p><hr><div style='-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;border-width:0px;color:rgb(94, 94, 94);font-family:"Open Sans", sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:0px;orphans:2;outline:0px;padding:0px;position:relative;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;' id="header-wrap">

<p><span>Ari Joshua lança o novo single "Elephant Walk" sendo o segundo trabalho lançado nesse ano. Antes, havia sido lançado os singles "Country Stroll" nesse ano e </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.indieoclock.com.br/2023/12/space-owl-impressiona-em-novo-hino.html" target="_blank"><span>"Flask"</span></a><span> no ano passado.</span></p>
<p><span>O guitarrista e compositor Ari Joshua revelou seu mais recente trabalho: “Elephant Walk” apresenta ícones do jazz John Medeski no órgão e Billy Martin na bateria.</span></p>
<p><span>Ari Joshua, John Medeski e Billy Martin canalizam juntos os sons animadores de um trio de piano clássico com um toque original. O piano de Medeski desliza graciosamente, um floreio fluido de enfeites pantanosos, tons gordos de órgão borbulhando de baixo. Em vez de usar uma bateria tradicional, Billy Martin orquestra várias camadas de percussão ao mesmo tempo para criar uma manta de polirritmos, vivos e em constante evolução, sinos melodiosos iluminando-se com os sabores do funk de Nova Orleans. À medida que a melodia de abertura serpenteia, a guitarra de Joshua emerge com um rugido profundo e ressonante, girando e mugindo como um elefante levantando sua própria tromba. Medeski inicia uma improvisação inspirada - um solo de percussão de Martin, amplo e abrangente, completa o círculo de “Elephant Walk”.</span></p>
<p><span>"Elephant Walk" tem uma introdução que é bem cativante, nós brasileiros amamos esse ritmo que explora o samba e o bossa nova, com batidas leves e suaves que exercem o poder de fazer nosso corpo dançar e então flui como se estivéssemos em uma noite de verão na beira da praia. Um clima gostoso e agradável reina na canção, onde podemos sentir o toque de órgão que traz a vibe mais jazz, as batidas o samba e então isso junto combinado com a guitarra a faixa fica intensa nessas notas sofisticadas que tem trechos intensos. A guitarra de Ari Joshua guia a melodia em um estilo único, com um poder de trazer trechos mais excêntricos que nos faz vibrar por dentro, com riffs desconcertantes geniais.</span></p>
<p><span>O trabalho de áudio de alto nível de todos os envolvidos – engenharia de Chris Bitnner da Applehead Recording em Woodstock, NY, masterização por Ed Brooks da Resonant Mastering e mixagem de Ari Raskin do Deepwater Studios na cidade de Nova York – ajudou a trazer o lançamento de “Elephant Walk” para a vida. Para a obra de arte, Paul Delaney aponta para a narrativa poética que ocorre na música.</span></p>
<p><span>"Elephant Walk" faz a gente sentir vivos, em uma faixa que estimula nossas emoções correr em nossas veias recuperando toda memória gostosa que já vivemos. Um hino clássico instrumental com certeza é fundamental para deixar o clima de qualquer ambiente leve e despojado.</span></p>

<p><span>Ari Joshua releases the new single "Elephant Walk" being the second work released this year. Previously, the singles "Country Stroll" had been released this year and "Flask" last year.</span></p>
<p><span>Guitarist and composer Ari Joshua has revealed his latest work: “Elephant Walk” features jazz icons John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on drums.</span></p>
<p><span>Ari Joshua, John Medeski and Billy Martin together channel the uplifting sounds of a classical piano trio with an original twist. Medeski's piano glides gracefully, a fluid flourish of swampy embellishments, fat organ tones bubbling up from below. Instead of using a traditional drum set, Billy Martin orchestrates multiple layers of percussion at once to create a blanket of polyrhythms, lively and ever-evolving, melodious chimes lighting up with the flavors of New Orleans funk. As the opening melody meanders, Joshua's guitar emerges with a deep, resonant growl, swirling and mooing like an elephant raising its own trunk. Medeski launches into an inspired improvisation – a wide, sweeping percussion solo from Martin brings “Elephant Walk” full circle.</span></p>
<p><span>"Elephant Walk" has an introduction that is very captivating, we Brazilians love this rhythm that explores samba and bossa nova, with light and smooth beats that have the power to make our body dance and then flows as if we were on a night out. summer at the beach. A pleasant and pleasant atmosphere reigns in the song, where we can feel the organ touch that brings a more jazzy vibe, the samba beats and then combined with the guitar the track becomes intense in these sophisticated notes that have intense sections. Ari Joshua's guitar guides the melody in a unique style, with a power to bring more eccentric parts that makes us vibrate inside, with brilliant disconcerting riffs.</span></p>
<p><span>Top-notch audio work from everyone involved – engineering by Chris Bitnner of Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY, mastering by Ed Brooks of Resonant Mastering, and mixing by Ari Raskin of Deepwater Studios in New York City – helped bring about the release from “Elephant Walk” to life.

<p><span>"Elephant Walk" makes us feel alive, in a track that stimulates our emotions to run through our veins, recovering every pleasant memory we've ever experienced. A classic instrumental anthem is certainly essential to leave the atmosphere of any environment light and relaxed.</span></p>

<p><br>Ari Joshua, John Medeski, and Billy Martin together channeling the heartening sounds of a classic piano trio with an original twist.

Fame Magazine; interview with Ari Joshua. Exploring the artistic landscape of ‘Elephant Walk’
<p>FM'S MUSIC INDUSTRY INSIGHTS · INTERVIEWS<br><br>interview with Ari Joshua. Exploring the artistic landscape of ‘Elephant Walk’<br><br>Ari Joshua, a name that resonates with innovation and musical depth, has recently unveiled his new composition, Elephant Walk, featuring jazz virtuosos John Medeski and Billy Martin.<br><br>by Frank Bell, 31st January 2024<br><br>Ari Joshua, a name that resonates with innovation and musical depth, has recently unveiled his new composition, Elephant Walk, featuring jazz virtuosos John Medeski and Billy Martin. This debut composition is a testament to Joshua’s artistic journey, blending the soulful rhythms of a classic piano trio with an imaginative twist. The track emerges as a symphony of lush organ melodies by Medeski and the intricate polyrhythmic tapestry woven by Martin’s percussion, all underpinned by Joshua’s resonant guitar tones.<br><br>Recorded at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY, with a team comprising Chris Bitnner, Ed Brooks, and Ari Raskin, Elephant Walk is a collaborative delight. The piece is a musical narrative of a young elephant’s quest for truth and freedom, as envisioned by Joshua. His description of the composition aligns with the majestic and enduring nature of music and its collaborative creation, akin to the grandeur of nature itself.</p><p>Ari Joshua’s musical roots are as diverse as they are profound. With a background in blues, jazz, and Americana, each of his nine albums showcases his versatility and passion for crossing genre boundaries. This latest work with Medeski and Martin adds another layer to his rich musical tapestry, offering listeners a cinematic journey through the realms of love and the intricate dynamics of relationships.</p><p>In our exclusive interview, Joshua offers insights into the creation of Elephant Walk and Country Stroll, revealing the organic, impromptu essence of their production and the distinct contributions from his musical partners. He discusses the collaborative harmony in the studio, the enchantment of improvisation, and the deep personal resonance of the music, resulting in compositions that are as emotionally stirring as they are sophisticated.</p><p><br>In a way the joys of life, the magic in the air in the natural world is an ancient art. We are all frequency and energy on some level</p><p>Elephant Walk is a playful track with some heavy piano trio vibes and Country Stroll is a marvelous fusion of twang and jazz. Both tracks feature the renowned John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on drums. Can you walk us through the creative process behind these compositions and how the collaboration with Medeski and Martin came to fruition?</p><p>Sure. We met in a studio in Woodstock to make music. I was prepared to go in a number of directions and the session took on a pulse of its own. It’s like you would expect with players on this level, it was a special weekend. It went off better than I could have imagined. I think with the fruition, it was just the right time, and it was sort of meant to be. For Elephant Walk for example, I brought Billy an old shaker I picked up from a museum in Africa while visiting family. I have a few in my collection. They are like old ancient shakers and they have a really cool vibe to them. I couldn’t have planned it better but Billy opted to use it along with some of his incredible percussion options and it was just a fire connection. I listen to alot of music and to be honest I never really heard a combination like what we had on that track. Those guys are really both filled with their own genius sauce. They have come at making art from every angle, and they have a way of extracting their own essences on everything they do. It really sounds like an Elephant Walk. For Country Stroll I had a certain vibe I had written that one for. It captures how I felt up there in the woods of upstate New York. I mentioned to them it was a tribute to Bill Frisell. Bless those guys, I know they want to let loose, but they can play anything. It was tempting to just turn the lights out and make art, we kind of did a bit of that and a bit also of running the music I composed for the session. There were a lot of moments I will never forget, I joke sometimes that I wanna pull a Bill Murray groundhogs that day, I’d love to play some shows or do some more.<br><br>John Medeski’s improvisation on the silky organ sounds adds a masterful touch to the canvas you created. Can you share more about the collaborative dynamic during this part of the recording, and how did Medeski’s contribution influence the direction of the composition?</p><p>John is a virtuoso. He is really in my opinion the best in the world at what he does. He comes up with sounds on these vintage instruments that you almost can’t believe. He has put in so much time exploring the limits of what he can do with those sounds. I sent him the tunes, and he basically said he liked them and that I should check with Billy. Billy was like I am gonna be there for you to support you on any tune you want. I mean in the room they both were wanting to take me deeper into what they do. It had a jedi vibe for sure. I have had a lot of really talented friends, and teachers. With all the masters there are things you can really only learn or understand by playing with them. He was really great to work with. I felt like we were on the same page, just there to get the job done, he was a delight. He had some ideas for some songs, it was like being on the playground. Chris the engineer has worked with him for over a decade and he was commenting on the sounds John was getting. He said he has seen him work in so many situations, and how much of a treat it was.</p><p><br>Your electric guitar has so much depth to it. The tone is both natural and also unique and vulnerable. How did you approach your sounds in this session, and what aspects of the natural world or simple joys of life were you aiming to express through your musical expression?</p><p>Thanks that means a lot, I used to spend weeks at a time playing hours and hours a day just focused on how to match the sounds in my head. The sounds that expressed the feelings I had. In a way the joys of life, the magic in the air in the natural world is an ancient art. We are all frequency and energy on some level. The same way an acoustic guitar amplifies the resonance the string creates, our bodies can also resonate the frequencies of the emotions we have. I really am guided by that. The feeling is the number one element to the sound. There are moments I have had where there was peak profound emotional micro moments where I was playing music. I carried the memories of those moments with me in my body, and I try to tune in when I can to get back to that. You do it enough and there is like a default mode that sort of is close enough to get the thing to fly. On a technical level I switched between my Languedoc and my old Fender jazz box. As well there was this twangy gnarly old Hagstrom surf guitar that just ruled for a certain sound. After the session was over Chris had the idea to mic the room and have me do some doubling of the melody on Country Stroll. Just the mic’d Languedoc acoustic and the room and laid it over. For a lot of the session it was a blur, I got to the studio before the session started and set up a mix of all the old effects they had. On Elephant Walk I used an octave divider effect and it’s super cool. SInce there is no bass the low octave really does something special. The sound is the feeling though, that is what I would say. I know it is a grand debate with a lot of players. John and I both had some really sweet old amps and mics, I know that didn’t hurt.</p><p><br>Billy Martin’s percussion on Elephant Walk, and his drum solo is noted for its lyricism and ingenious rhythmic contortions. What was the collaborative process like in shaping this segment, and how did Martin’s drumming style enhance the overall sonic landscape of the track?</p><p>Billy Martin earned a place in my heart in this session. He is a really special player and a special person. He reminded me of some of my friends growing up. He was as deep as the ocean. Both he and John allowed me to be myself and to deeping into that space. Billy is so present. He is really there with you. The osmosis of being with players that have gone into the deep together so many times is really something special. Everything clicked and I think a lot of it is the way those guys are, and having an idea going into it. A lot is chemistry. Billy’s style allows for the direction to shift in any moment, he’s tuned into so many layers at a time, I love that cause I like to be the same way. I would follow him down any musical path. He makes great decisions.</p><p><br>The recording process involved Chris Bittner, Ed Brooks, and Ari Raskin, each contributing their expertise. How did their roles impact the final production of Country Stroll and Elephant Walk?</p><p>Chris is the host with the most. He has such a familiar charm, presence. He just got incredible sounds, and he knows that room so well. You know a lot of MMW stuff was recorded there including the Scofield stuff. Michael Birnbaum too, he built that place, they are still building it. Raskin has a resume from earth to the moon. He has been in the city for so long he has really worked with everyone from Michael Jackson to Kentrick Lamar to Justin Beiber. For this type of thing he is one of my favorite mixing engineers. Ed has mastered a lot of big records, I trust him with any of my music.</p><p>How much time would you say you spend in your studio per week?</p><p>I try to spend about 20 hours minimum per song. It usually adds up to a lot more then that. We have been finishing up about 3 songs a month on average. If I am not touring the studio is my next favorite place to be.</p><p>Which DAW do you use and why?</p><p>If it’s a studio session it’s almost always Pro Tools, but for myself it’s Ableton all the way. My trio ASD AriSawkaDoria, with my dear friend KJ Sawka on the drums opened me up to the magic of Ableton. Kevin is incredible, he performs with Ableton all over the world. He really opened up my mind to the software. It’s really limitless. I haven’t done it in a while but I used to have people over and we would just geek out with the program for like 10 hours at a time comparing notes and jamming.</p><p>Favorite piece of gear?</p><p>My Languedoc guitar. That and my Fender D’aquisto.</p><p>Do you have a dream piece of gear on your wishlist?</p><p>Yes I want a bigger custom built instrument collection. There are a few builders I really want to represent. I used to invest a lot in gear. These last few years I really invested into my music school, prioritizing studio time, and time with loved ones.</p><p>©FM</p><p>instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou</p><p>Ari Joshua<br>Billy Martin<br>John Medeski</p><hr><p>Origianl link<br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.famemagazine.co.uk/interview-with-ari-joshua/">https://www.famemagazine.co.uk/interview-with-ari-joshua/</a></p><p>Original html below </p><hr><div class="single56__header align-center" style='-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);border:0 solid var(--border-color);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:"Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;max-width:100%;orphans:2;padding:16px 0px;text-align:center;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;width:var(--narrow-width);word-spacing:0px;'>

We are all frequency and energy on some level</i></p></blockquote>
<p><i><strong>Elephant Walk</strong></i><strong> is a playful track with some heavy piano trio vibes and </strong><i><strong>Country Stroll</strong></i><strong> is a marvelous fusion of twang and jazz. Both tracks feature the renowned John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on drums. Can you walk us through the creative process behind these compositions and how the collaboration with Medeski and Martin came to fruition?</strong></p>
<p>Sure. We met in a studio in Woodstock to make music. I was prepared to go in a number of directions and the session took on a pulse of its own. It’s like you would expect with players on this level, it was a special weekend. It went off better than I could have imagined. I think with the fruition, it was just the right time, and it was sort of meant to be. For Elephant Walk for example, I brought Billy an old shaker I picked up from a museum in Africa while visiting family. I have a few in my collection. They are like old ancient shakers and they have a really cool vibe to them. I couldn’t have planned it better but Billy opted to use it along with some of his incredible percussion options and it was just a fire connection. I listen to alot of music and to be honest I never really heard a combination like what we had on that track. Those guys are really both filled with their own genius sauce. They have come at making art from every angle, and they have a way of extracting their own essences on everything they do. It really sounds like an Elephant Walk. For Country Stroll I had a certain vibe I had written that one for. It captures how I felt up there in the woods of upstate New York. I mentioned to them it was a tribute to Bill Frisell. Bless those guys, I know they want to let loose, but they can play anything. It was tempting to just turn the lights out and make art, we kind of did a bit of that and a bit also of running the music I composed for the session. There were a lot of moments I will never forget, I joke sometimes that I wanna pull a Bill Murray groundhogs that day, I’d love to play some shows or do some more.</p>

<figure><figcaption><i>John Medeski</i></figcaption></figure><p><strong>John Medeski’s improvisation on the silky organ sounds adds a masterful touch to the canvas you created. Can you share more about the collaborative dynamic during this part of the recording, and how did Medeski’s contribution influence the direction of the composition?</strong></p>
<p>John is a virtuoso. He is really in my opinion the best in the world at what he does. He comes up with sounds on these vintage instruments that you almost can’t believe. He has put in so much time exploring the limits of what he can do with those sounds. I sent him the tunes, and he basically said he liked them and that I should check with Billy. Billy was like I am gonna be there for you to support you on any tune you want. I mean in the room they both were wanting to take me deeper into what they do. It had a jedi vibe for sure. I have had a lot of really talented friends, and teachers. With all the masters there are things you can really only learn or understand by playing with them. He was really great to work with. I felt like we were on the same page, just there to get the job done, he was a delight. He had some ideas for some songs, it was like being on the playground. Chris the engineer has worked with him for over a decade and he was commenting on the sounds John was getting. He said he has seen him work in so many situations, and how much of a treat it was.</p>

<p><strong>Your electric guitar has so much depth to it. The tone is both natural and also unique and vulnerable. How did you approach your sounds in this session, and what aspects of the natural world or simple joys of life were you aiming to express through your musical expression?</strong></p>
<p>Thanks that means a lot, I used to spend weeks at a time playing hours and hours a day just focused on how to match the sounds in my head. The sounds that expressed the feelings I had. In a way the joys of life, the magic in the air in the natural world is an ancient art. We are all frequency and energy on some level. The same way an acoustic guitar amplifies the resonance the string creates, our bodies can also resonate the frequencies of the emotions we have. I really am guided by that. The feeling is the number one element to the sound. There are moments I have had where there was peak profound emotional micro moments where I was playing music. I carried the memories of those moments with me in my body, and I try to tune in when I can to get back to that. You do it enough and there is like a default mode that sort of is close enough to get the thing to fly. On a technical level I switched between my Languedoc and my old Fender jazz box. As well there was this twangy gnarly old Hagstrom surf guitar that just ruled for a certain sound. After the session was over Chris had the idea to mic the room and have me do some doubling of the melody on Country Stroll. Just the mic’d Languedoc acoustic and the room and laid it over. For a lot of the session it was a blur, I got to the studio before the session started and set up a mix of all the old effects they had. On Elephant Walk I used an octave divider effect and it’s super cool. SInce there is no bass the low octave really does something special. The sound is the feeling though, that is what I would say. I know it is a grand debate with a lot of players. John and I both had some really sweet old amps and mics, I know that didn’t hurt.</p>

Featuring jazz icons John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on drums, this composition transcends traditional boundaries, offering a fresh perspective on the genre. At the heart of “Elephant Walk” lies a mesmerizing interplay of musical elements.

Interview in 'York Calling'
<p>INTERVIEWS<br>Interview: Ari Joshua<br><br>We’ve shared New York artist Ari Joshua’s music quite a lot over the past couple of years, and it just seems to get better and better. His new single Elephant Walk is out today and we’ve also recently reviewed another single, titled Country Stroll. If you’re new to Ari’s work, you can check out our premiere of Elephant Walk out at the end of this interview.</p><p>By Jane Howkins</p><p>You recently released the new track Elephant Walk and just before that you shared Country Stroll. What can you tell us about these songs?</p><p>Elephant Walk and Country Stroll are two more perfect examples of the genius of Billy Martin and John Medeski. I strolled into the studio for a few days of tracking and half way through the session, Billy looked at me and said something like; “Ari, do you realize you’re gonna have more music then you know what to do with…” I have been chipping away between all my other endeavors and every moment on this project has been filled with joy. Everything we tried just landed, it all worked. It was all in the flow. We did a fair amount of improv which is really what those guys are the pioneers of, but these songs, these two, these were really more crafted from the spirit world I suppose. I just had a feeling they might fit well.</p><p>These cats can really play, they can do anything and the music we made in this session really just shows that off. The way John mixes the piano and the organ in Elephant Walk and the way Billy was able to hear the percussion vibe he set down was just just a treat to be a part of. I gave Billy one of my African shakers, I picked it up at a museum in the early 2000’s and he used it on this track. We saw herds of elephants in the wild on that trip. There is mojo built into the music. Country Stroll was a song for Bill Frisell. These guys are on that legendary level with Bill – they have played with Bill, and know him well. The track was another 1 take wonder, and on both songs there were a few minimal overdubs done on the day of tracking with engineer and producer Chris Bittner.</p><p>How has the reception to these tracks been so far, and where can they be purchased?</p><p>The reception has been amazing. I am getting messages on social media and seeing folks bookmarking and playlisting the songs. I’ve seen a huge uptick in reviews, and they are all very positive. Particularly the jazz and jam band scenes have been liking the releases, as well as the art community, I get folks asking if I made the art. I made the animation but the art is by Paul Delaney. You can purchase the music and read select reviews at my website, you can also visit arijoshua.bandca….com/ and there is also merch and other goodies you can pick up. You can also buy sheet music on my site, I have been selling all my songs for very little.</p><p>You’re also joined on the track by jazz icon John Medeski on the organ and Billy Martin on the drums. How did the collaboration come about? Do you have any more collaborations planned?</p><p>I sort of touched on that in the first question, but that story goes all the way back to when I was 16 and a friend recommended a CD I check out… It was MMW, we would see them here and there and it became like a stylistic category. Like people would say, let’s do this with an MMW type flavor. When I moved to NY I was exposed to alot of GOAT status genius artists. I had teachers that had so much life experience and wisdom to share. It was really special. Between my classmates, the teachers and the players on the scene, it was a vibe. MMW were the young cats on the scene making it happen at a totally prime and fruitful time for the arts. Looking back it was a special time, you know before the computers moved in and took over.</p><p>I was 19 when I started to talk to John, and all of them about getting linked in. 20 years of seeds being planted and growing really is what led to this manifesting. I spoke to John over the pandemic and shared some organ trio stuff I was doing and was proud of and we started tossing around dates and considering drummers. I have played with a handful of folks they all know well. At first it was going to be a session in New Orleans, but as soon as Billy jumped on board, Woodstock lit like a burning coal as they say. There is enough material that there will be a full album, I would really love to do it again, or to play some shows together. Those guys are really in demand so we will have to see.</p><p>Do you have any more singles planned for release in the near future?</p><p>Yes, right after Elephant Walk we have Elon’s’ Musk featuring iLL Gates on drums and some production. Totally different style of music. I frequency jump, I hear that is what it’s called. I just wanna be creative, expressive and follow the source in whatever direction it wants me to. There is so much music in the bag right now. Just in production, like in the mixing phase, there are another 20 songs on deck. More stuff with John, and Billy and tracks with Skerik, Delvon Lamarr, Grant Schroff, John Kimock, Andy Hess, Eden Ladin, Joe Doria, Brad Gibson, Ray Paczkowski, Russ Lawton and more. It’s all through my label Music Factory Records. We just signed our first artist as well – Peter Daniel, who is a fantastic arranger, composer and sax player. No shortage of magic in the air.</p><p>Are there any plans for a full-length album or an EP anytime soon?</p><p>Yes, my hope is in 2025 or 2026 I can get some of these projects to do a little touring and pair it with some vinyl pressings.</p><p>Country Stroll has a unique sound that mixes jazz and Americana together. You mentioned there was an influence you had in mind when making the song?</p><p>Like I mentioned, Bill Frisell is one of the all time greats. He is one of those one note guys. I hear him in a movie soundtrack or on a playlist and I know in one note who it is. These are the artists I gravitate towards. The kids where you can say, let’s play this in a ‘Bill Frisell’ style. You know there are a handful of people you can do that with, it’s really the mark of something exquisite. I was also thinking a little Trey Anastasio and a little Jerry Garcia on that one. The sounds are great.</p><p>Do you have anything else exciting coming up in the next few months?</p><p>I am working on my music school The Music Factory and we have been adjusting to some huge life changing events that happened for us last year. Just settling in and taking care of maintenance and upkeep on that building. I am having the old windows refurbished and bringing in some new teachers and a film guy who is talking about doing a little documentary on all the happenings.</p><p>Do you have any tour dates lined up for the UK?</p><p>Dang bring on the offers! I would love to be out there again. I loved London and driving up to Dartmoor and driving around the hills where the wild miniature ponies and sheep are all scattered and the little rivers roll down the grass. I can see we have a good deal of streamers in the UK. I just need airfare and fare fees for fair play.</p><p>Any last words for the fans?</p><p>It means the world to me as an artist to connect with people through my art. You can make my dreams come true by supporting my efforts by buying some merch, streaming and saving material, and as well by signing up for music lessons through my school The Music Factory: musicfactorynw.com/.</p><p>You can sign up for yourself or your kids – we have gift cards, and we can teach online as well, so you can be anywhere in the world! Our teachers specialise in meeting each student where they are at, so you can sign up at any level or age. Support us artists! Even the ones you may think are doing well, it’s a lot harder than you may expect, the system is set up for normal jobs to rise with inflation, but the arts are constantly left behind. Not meaning to complain, I am so blessed to be in this life pursuing the things that have brought me so much joy through adversity. Making this art is such a rare privilege, and I am so lucky to have found this passion. To have the ability to introduce people to the arts via The Music Factory, and to be able to make mine thought Music Factory Records, it is a blessing – we just need your support to keep the fire lit, and to keep the music alive and well.</p><p><br>26/01/2024<br>JANE HOWKINS<br>SHARE THIS<br>TWITTERFACEBOOK</p><hr><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://yorkcalling.co.uk/2024/01/26/interview-ari-joshua-2/">https://yorkcalling.co.uk/2024/01/26/interview-ari-joshua-2/</a></p><p>original article link</p><hr><p> </p>

<p><strong>Elephant Walk – Ari Joshua (reviewed by Dave Franklin)</strong><br><strong>By Dave Franklin - February 3, 2024 </strong><br><br>Never one to keep still, Ari Joshua took us for a Country Stroll, and now he invites us on an Elephant Walk. And it isn’t just a random choice of title for this instrumental piece; there is undoubtedly something in the stomping bass sounds in the back of the song, not to mention a sort of sassy sway that seems to fit with the idea of a line of the titular beasts slowly meandering towards some unknown destination just over the horizon.</p>
<p>As always, Joshua’s sonic medium is jazz, but the sort of jazz that itself is happy to sway and meander along interesting paths, taking a wonderfully circuitous route through New Orleans funk grooves, seductive soul vibes, tinkering and tasteful percussion in place of a more expected full kit sound, mellifluous piano lines and, of course, Joshua’s guitar ebbing and flowing, incorporating the primal sounds of those magnificent beasts.</p>
<p>On the one hand, it is the sound of nature going through its motions, carefree and aimless and on a more spiritual level, in Ari Joshua’s mind, it also echoes the idea of someone breaking away from the pack to search for deeper meanings, perhaps the various musical changes and ever emerging tones and textures describing the events and encounters along the way. Man, there is a whole film to be found in this four-minute sonic salvo.</p>

Iggy Magazine review of 'Elephant Walk'
<p>« Éléphant Walk » de Ari Joshua : Une Odyssée Musicale Fusionnelle<br><br>Ari Joshua, accompagné de John Medeski et Billy Martin dont nous découvrons la musique, façonne une expérience musicale inoubliable avec « Éléphant Walk », la bande originale de votre journée qui vous emporte dès les premières mesures, vous sort de l’instant.</p><p>Dans ce trio de piano, la virtuosité de Medeski transparaît, son jeu gracieux déployant un tourbillon d’ornements marécageux, tandis que des tons riches d’orgue émergent de manière imposante. Une approche non conventionnelle de la percussion par Billy Martin, qui superpose habilement plusieurs strates, crée une toile de polyrythmies vivantes, où la cowbell mélodieuse s’embrase aux accents du funk de la Nouvelle-Orléans.</p><p>L’ouverture de la mélodie dévoile la guitare d’Ari Joshua, émergeant avec un grondement profond et résonant, évoquant les torsions et les appels d’un éléphant levant sa propre trompe. L’inspiration d’une improvisation saisissante de Medeski est magnifiquement complétée par un solo de percussions spacieux et ample de Martin, ramenant « Éléphant Walk » à une conclusion circulaire.</p><p>Cette œuvre unique est une fusion audacieuse d’éléments organiques, créant une expérience musicale captivante et créative. « Éléphant Walk » témoigne du génie collaboratif de ce trio, offrant aux auditeurs une odyssée sonore qui transcende les frontières du conventionnel pour créer quelque chose de véritablement exceptionnel.

An unconventional approach to percussion by Billy Martin, skillfully layering multiple layers, creates a canvas of lively polyrhythms, where the melodic cowbell ignites to the accents of New Orleans funk.</p><p>The melody's opening unveils Ari Joshua's guitar, emerging with a deep and resonant rumble, evoking the twists and calls of an elephant raising its own trunk. Medeski's inspiration for striking improvisation is beautifully complemented by Martin's spacious and broad percussion solo, bringing "Elephant Walk" to a circular conclusion.</p><p>This unique work is a bold fusion of organic elements, creating a captivating and creative musical experience. "Elephant Walk" testifies to the collaborative genius of this trio, offering listeners a sonic odyssey that transcends the boundaries of the conventional to create something truly exceptional.

Berlin on Air feature of Elephant Walk
<p>BERLIN ON AIR - ベルリン 放送中</p><p>Ari Joshua - Elephant Walk (Blues)<br>🕑 Lesedauer: 2 min / 📷 CTTO / Ari Joshua<br>Offizielles Erscheinungsdatum: 26.01.2024</p><p>Mit dem Track “Elephant Walk” möchte ich euch eine ziemlich coole Neuerscheinung aus dem Genre Blues vorstellen.

You can't go wrong with Ari Joshua's "Elephant Walk"
<p>English: </p><p><strong>You can't go wrong with Ari Joshua's "Elephant Walk"</strong></p><p>By Extravafrench<br>Published January 26, 2024<br><br>When Ari Joshua's jazz notes meet the imagination of the fauna, it gives birth to "Elephant Walk", a musical piece of striking beauty. This track, created with the legendary talents of John Medeski on the organ and Billy Martin on percussion, is a harmonious fusion of jazz classicism and the originality of a natural adventure.</p><p>In the skilled hands of these artists, "Elephant Walk" becomes more than a composition, it's a stroll in a world where music becomes the language of elephants. Ari Joshua's guitar, with its depths and vibrant tones, evokes the image of a majestic elephant crossing vast landscapes. Medeski, with his organ, paints a melody that flows like a river, enriching each note with a touch of nature.</p><p>Billy Martin's unique approach, layering multiple layers of percussion, creates a living and evolving rhythm, a symphony that sings the colors of New Orleans funk. This trio is not just a meeting of talents, it's the fusion of universes that interact and intertwine.</p><p>The technical expertise, the engineering of Chris Bitnner, the mastering of Ed Brooks, and the mixing of Ari Raskin, were essential in capturing the essence of this work. "Elephant Walk", with its artistic cover signed by Paul Delaney, does not just tell a story, it invites the listener to live a unique sensory experience.</p><p>Listening to "Elephant Walk", one can't help but think of an epic, that of an elephant in search of truth and freedom, a musical odyssey where each note is a step in a journey that is both intimate and universal. Available on all streaming platforms, this track is an invitation to explore the wild territories of the soul and nature.<br><br><a data-link-type="url">Original Article Link: </a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://extravafrench.com/2024/01/26/vous-ne-pourrez-pas-vous-tromper-sur-elephant-walk-dari-joshua/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://extravafrench.com/2024/01/26/vous-ne-pourrez-pas-vous-tromper-sur-elephant-walk-dari-joshua/</a></p><hr><p>In French: <br><br>Music<br>Vous ne pourrez pas vous tromper sur “Elephant Walk” d’Ari Joshua By Extravafrench<br>Published Janvier 26, 2024<br><br>Quand les notes jazz d’Ari Joshua rencontrent l’imaginaire de la faune, cela donne naissance à “Elephant Walk”, une pièce musicale d’une beauté saisissante. Ce morceau, créé avec les talents légendaires de John Medeski à l’orgue et Billy Martin aux percussions, est une fusion harmonieuse entre le classicisme du jazz et l’originalité d’une aventure naturelle.<br><br>Dans les mains habiles de ces artistes, “Elephant Walk” devient plus qu’une composition, c’est une balade dans un monde où la musique devient le langage des éléphants. La guitare d’Ari Joshua, avec ses profondeurs et ses sonorités vibrantes, évoque l’image d’un éléphant majestueux traversant les vastes paysages.

La guitare d’Ari Joshua, avec ses profondeurs et ses sonorités vibrantes, évoque l’image d’un éléphant majestueux traversant les vastes paysages. Medeski, avec son orgue, peint une mélodie qui coule comme une rivière, enrichissant chaque note d’une touche de nature.</p>
<p>L’approche unique de Billy Martin, qui superpose plusieurs couches de percussions, crée un rythme vivant et évolutif, une symphonie qui chante les couleurs de la funk de la Nouvelle-Orléans. Ce trio n’est pas qu’une rencontre de talents, c’est la fusion d’univers qui se répondent et s’entremêlent.</p>
<p>L’expertise technique, l’ingénierie de Chris Bitnner, le mastering de Ed Brooks et le mixage d’Ari Raskin, ont été essentiels pour capturer l’essence de cette œuvre. “Elephant Walk”, avec sa couverture artistique signée Paul Delaney, ne se contente pas de raconter une histoire, elle invite l’auditeur à vivre une expérience sensorielle inédite.</p>
<p>En écoutant “Elephant Walk”, on ne peut s’empêcher de penser à une épopée, celle d’un éléphant en quête de vérité et de liberté, une odyssée musicale où chaque note est un pas dans un voyage à la fois intime et universel. Disponible sur toutes les plateformes de streaming, ce morceau est une invitation à explorer les contrées sauvages de l’âme et de la nature.</p>

The Other Side Reviews Country Stroll
<header><p>Ari Joshua – Country Stroll (2024)<br>by Nicole Mendes January 22, 2024<br><br>Known for his infectious, inspiring and enthusiastic jazz tones, Ari Joshua’s melodies capture your senses with ease, but it is the lyricism and ease of collaboration that truly pushes his natural energy. When we left Ari Joshua, or at least the last review we posted, it was a gander at his funk meets jazz single ‘Soul Mine’; and now, just less than a year later, Joshua astounds us once again with another addition to his moving repertoire. Come with us as we delve into ‘Country Stroll’.</p>
<p>With a strong penchant for collaborations, US-based South African-born Joshua effortlessly strums along with notable artists to create magical music. In ‘Soul Mine’, he joined Delvin Lamarr (keyboard), Grant Schroff (drums), Tor Dietrichson (percussion) and Skerik (saxophone). Creating musical fusion in ‘Country Stroll’, Ari Joshua connects with legendary guitarists John Medeski and Billy Marin to “showcase Joshua’s compositional prowess…perfectly fitting into any season or setting.” Recorded with Chris Bittner at Applehead Recording, mastering by Ed Brooks at Resonant Mastering, and mixing by Ari Raskin at Deepwater Studios, ‘Country Stroll’ is a menagerie of masterful music professionals tucked into three minutes.</p>
<p>“I’m incredibly excited to share ‘Country Stroll’ with the world. This song is a celebration of the beauty of the natural world and the simple joys of life. I’m honoured to have collaborated with John Medeski and Billy Martin on this project. Their musicianship and creativity are truly inspiring.” -Ari Joshua on ‘Country Stroll’</p>
<p>Taking a quick listen to Ari Joshua’s discography it is clear that he is anything but pedestrian. Mixing various genres which might clash but somehow come together under his fingers, I hear elements of indie-rock matched with funk, folk and Britpop lined between jangle pop and strong jazz undertones (not all in one song but at least two or three). Following ‘Flask’, ‘Country Stroll’ is a delicate shove back to the 1960s introducing a slip of power-pop between the jazz-inspired guitars and drums. Then again, while a reminiscent fizz of soft music – a perfect theme song for a country stroll – there is a contemporary jazz flow bringing retro mystique to modern-day audiences.</p>
<p><br>In addition to the single, Ari Joshua released an official music video for ‘Country Stroll’. You can view the video below or on his YouTube channel.<br><br><br>Find out more about Ari Joshua on his official website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Spotify.<br><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.theothersidereviews.com/ari-joshua-country-stroll-2024/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.theothersidereviews.com/ari-joshua-country-stroll-2024/</a></p>

PunkHead Magazine - Interview
<p>Ari Joshua On the Making Of “Country Stroll”</p><p>What was the creative process like for this particular "Country Stroll?"</p><p>Whenever I have a studio session booked, it gives me a purpose to create. I'm always ready to create, and there's always purpose all around, but typically I do a deep dive in the weeks before a session. For this song, it is a tribute to Bill Frisell. Frisell is one of my favorites, and he has worked with both John and Billy. I like to write songs for people, everyone I love will eventually come through in the music. Once I turn on the composer faucet, it just drips and flows. If we lived in a perfect world, I would compose every day, the challenge is, at some point in this reality one has to stop writing to make room for recording, and producing, mixing, and collecting art, and then figuring out how to get it to the ears and hearts and minds of the listeners. That has all become an equal part of the creative process.</p><p>Were there any memorable or standout moments during the recording sessions for "Country Stroll?"</p><p>Billy Martin and John Medeski are both legends. I have alot of respect and love for these human beings. The moments were all memorable, this session is now part of my Groundhog Day wish. If I could collaborate in a studio during the day and go home to a family, that would be the perfect day to repeat. Billy had a few things he told me that really sunk in, it really felt like just hanging out with my friends in high school and making art. Effortless and creative, that is how the whole experience was. It was all a blessing. Billy also told me a few times that I was gonna have more music then I would know what to do with. Since almost every note was captured so well by Chris Bittner, he was right. There will be a lot more to come. I really want to send so much love to these players and to everyone involved. Also, I want to send big love to anyone I get to play with in the future, it’s a blessing to have these moments.</p><p>What was your favorite moment in making the music video?<br><br>The art is by Paul Delaney, and he does a lot of these animal watercolor style illustrations. I grew up on MTV on the old tube TV. We had like 5 channels and MTV, so I like to have a video with each release. If you have time, you can see a lot of my videos on YouTube. I often make them all myself. It’s really soothing for me. I also like to make posters. I am about to take a class in design because I love it so much. If I could have access to a bigger budget, I would work with more artists, no doubt. The bear and the duck symbolize that we can all get along and enjoy this ride together. Sometimes there are different archetypes that want to clash, but all said and done, the country is for everyone; there is plenty out there to stroll with.</p><p>How do you approach collaborations with other musicians or artists?</p><p>I usually start with one person I want to really collaborate with and then I give myself about 2 weeks to practice and compose with as little distractions as possible. In this case, John offered we track in Woodstock at Applehead. I know a lot of really special MMW albums, and the Scofield recordings as well all happened there. We could have recorded in New Orleans, and in the city, but this was the best case scenario. When you ask what is best for others you can end up in better shape than you anticipated. All of John's gear was up there, and I spent alot of time in that area in my college years so I loved it. In collaborating I like to be out of my comfort zone, I like to be open to options. In this case, I loved Woodstock, I could live there; I really fell in love with it. Anyways, back to the question. After we find a time and location, I go into the studio with a bag of options and ideas. In this case, I wrote like 30 new ideas. Once I do the planning, then the thing is to forget about it till the moments come. We can choose to leave room for the other cats to share ideas, and sometimes even co-write if it makes sense. When you are in the room, there is a voice that can take over and make magic happen. I am blessed, I really do feel that once I have that trust and bond with the people I am working with, I am ready and able to put my heart and soul into anything at any time. I try to make the best quality art I can. I accept that this can mean different things at different times. The short answer is I believe in osmosis, and that we can add to the creation but making room for others.</p><p><br>Every composer has a unique style. How would you describe your musical "voice" or signature style? What sets your compositions apart?</p><p>In order to answer this, I am going to share a few things. I was born in Cape Town, and my family had a very worldly sense of art and culture. In the States, when I got turned on to music, I came from the blues, like a lot of cats, but I really had access to some great blues music growing up. I discovered Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix pretty early on. Before music, I wanted to be like Michael Jordan, so I shifted my image of his greatness and his influence over to the musical players I had access to. After really getting into the blues, the grunge era hit in my part of the world. I was immersed in that time; I was a teenager at a time when music was exploding around the world, and it felt like we were living in ground zero. Everything I learned was from records, tapes, and radio, so there was an exclusivity to the music that influenced me, and as well as a sense that it was all happening in real time. Within a short period, I was placed in the Jazz Band at my high school, and I started to dissect Count Basie, and Duke Ellington, and get exposed to classic albums from the jazz world. We would share recordings, and transcribe solos, and compare notes at lunch. Every album I digested from grades 6-12 became part of my DNA. I spent at least a few weeks immersed in each artist, and album, and I would sit and learn lessons from each note that sang to my soul. In return when I present my voice I express my soul, my feelings, and it’s an accumulation of all that stuff mixed with my life experiences.</p><p> </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.thepunkhead.com/music/ari-joshua-releases-country-stroll" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.thepunkhead.com/music/ari-joshua-releases-country-stroll</a></p><hr><p><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C9Z1YhnRr08CKRSZ7nEuV"><strong>Spotify</strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/"><strong>YouTube</strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/"><strong>Instagram</strong></a></p>

<p id="532a" data-selectable-paragraph="">Original Review:</p>
<p id="532a" data-selectable-paragraph="">O guitarrista e compositor sul-africano Ari Joshua acaba de lançar “Country Stroll”, seu mais recente single. O moço faz uma música instrumental extremamente rica em detalhes e nuances, incorporando influências que vão do jazz ao funk com uma facilidade assombrosa. Leve e dinâmica do começo ao fim, “Country Stroll” soa oldschool no melhor dos sentidos — como uma perfeita trilha sonora para um curta dos anos 70. Isso vem do ragtime, principal estilo explorado por Ari em sua nova música, que conta com participação dos ícones do jazz John Medeski tocando órgão e Billy Martin na percussão. Ari em sua carreira já trabalhou com inúmeros artistas notáveis que vão desde Santana até Pearl Jam e R.E.M., e essa experiência toda com certeza se faz muito aparente aqui. O músico cria com facilidade um som capaz de te transportar para outra época, soando exatamente como um passeio pelo campo. “Country Stroll” é uma excelente pausa no caos do dia a dia, um momento para refletir e respirar livre de preocupações</p>

<p id="532a" data-selectable-paragraph="">."South African guitarist and composer Ari Joshua has just released 'Country Stroll', his latest single. He creates an instrumental music that is extremely rich in details and nuances, incorporating influences ranging from jazz to funk with astonishing ease. Light and dynamic from start to finish, 'Country Stroll' sounds old school in the best sense — like a perfect soundtrack for a short film from the 70s. This comes from ragtime, the main style explored by Ari in his new music, which features the participation of jazz icons John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on percussion. In his career, Ari has worked with numerous notable artists ranging from Santana to Pearl Jam and R.E.M., and this experience is certainly very apparent here. The musician easily creates a sound capable of transporting you to another era, sounding exactly like a stroll through the countryside. 'Country Stroll' is an excellent break from the chaos of everyday life, a moment to reflect and breathe free of worries."</p>

The Indie Grid UK ARI JOSHUA’S ‘COUNTRY STROLL’ – CINEMATIC JAZZ BRILLIANCE
<p><strong>The Indie Grid UK </strong><br>ARI JOSHUA’S ‘COUNTRY STROLL’ – CINEMATIC JAZZ BRILLIANCE</p><p>by MATT WARREN JANUARY 13, 2024<br><br>Country Stroll Single Cover<br>Ari Joshua‘s most recent release, ‘Country Stroll,’ stands as a captivating instrumental piece that draws listeners into a musical realm evocative of the artistry found in Oliver Thompson’s works, notably the ‘Welcome to Happiness’ soundtrack. Rooted in Seattle, Joshua collaborates with jazz musicians John Medeski on electric organ and Billy Martin on drums to deliver a musical journey that not only mirrors the innovation seen in Thompson’s compositions but also pays homage to the legendary guitarist Bill Frisell.</p><p>The track’s laid-back and cool vibe instantly brings to mind the atmospheric quality found in cinematic creations and I can imagine this track being used in a multitude of movie scenarios. ‘Country Stroll’ isn’t just a musical journey; it’s a dialogue that feels tailor-made for various scenes, offering a nuanced and dynamic palette that could easily enhance cinematic narratives.</p><p><br>The instrumental prowess of the trio is evident as they weave through melodic breaks, solos, and rhythmic nuances. Each instrument bounces off the other and takes it in turn with solo breaks–even the drums get a chance to shine! The guitars have been described as ‘fluffy’ and ‘phat,’ but, I’d go further and say that their sound is smooth, almost silky. The catchy guitar hook and the clever chordal movements are memorable and turnarounds are executed with tremendous skill.</p><p>The final outro adds a delightful touch, infusing humour and leaving listeners with a sense of happiness and relaxation, as if they’ve just returned from a charming country stroll.</p><p>Ari Joshua Seattle Musician<br>As part of Ari Joshua’s musical journey, ‘Country Stroll’ marks a significant milestone, showcasing the collaborative brilliance of this trio. The technical excellence behind the track, including Chris Bittner’s engineering, Ed Brooks’ mastering, and Ari Raskin’s mixing, elevates the audio quality to a commendable standard. Additionally, the artwork by Paul Delaney adds a visual dimension to the listening experience, enhancing the overall presentation.</p><p>In summary, ‘Country Stroll’ is a testament to the trio’s skill and creativity, reminiscent of the immersive quality found in Oliver Thompson’s cinematic compositions. With its availability on major streaming platforms, this track is a must-listen for those who appreciate innovative instrumental music. It’s a testament to the great work of Ari Joshua, John Medeski, and Billy Martin in crafting a composition that not only captivates but also leaves a lasting, positive impression.</p><p>Website / Facebook / Twitter / Spotify / Bandcamp / YouTube / Instagram</p><p>REVIEW<br>SUMMARY<br>Ari Joshua’s ‘Country Stroll’ takes listeners on a laid-back and cool musical voyage, expertly weaving melodic breaks and rhythmic nuances alongside jazz virtuosos John Medeski and Billy Martin. Rooted in Seattle and evoking the cinematic brilliance of Oliver Thompson, this track not only celebrates the legendary guitarist Bill Frisell but also stands as a testament to the trio’s skill.<br><br> </p>

'Country Stroll' by Ari Joshua: A Musical Odyssey through Nature and Virtuosity with Icons John Medeski & Billy Martin
<p>Writer's picture Kortnee M.<br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.thecmplx.com" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.thecmplx.com</a><a data-link-type="url"> </a>Jan 13<br><br><strong>'Country Stroll' by Ari Joshua: A Musical Odyssey through Nature and Virtuosity with Icons John Medeski & Billy Martin</strong><br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/054eb7c22934289332341188e3b80b6dca68512a/original/433005-96217641360f41daad5ebc724de64abe-mv2.webp/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_inline border_" /><br><span class="text-small">Ari Joshua on a stool under a studio light in a dimly lit room</span></p><p>Ari Joshua's latest release, 'Country Stroll,' featuring the legendary John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on drums, is a captivating musical journey that seamlessly blends genres and showcases the virtuosity of these accomplished musicians. Released on January 12, 2024, this instrumental masterpiece is a celebration of the natural world and the simple joys of life. The intro to this song, coupled with the title, immediately made me feel like I was in The Hundred Acre Wood with Winnie (the Pooh). Do I see a collaboration with Disney in the future? Despite the childhood feelings this experience of a song may invoke, there is nothing amateur or immature about this production.<br><br>The track unfolds with subtle snare rolls, framing the opening phase and conjuring an imaginative sonic landscape. The elemental country blues form gracefully transitions through surprising passages and clever chordal movements, leading to the punctuation of a classic rag. Joshua's compositional prowess is evident as he skillfully weaves together twang, jazz, and playful elements, creating a cohesive and innovative piece that defies traditional genre boundaries.<br> </p><p><span class="text-small"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/7f3c647d699ed9349903ca1832c5de17cd785787/original/country-stroll-final-album-art-joshua-martin-medeski-jpg.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_inline border_" /></span><br><span class="text-small">A brown bear holding a white duck's hand on green grass with blue clouds in the sky.</span><br><span class="text-small">Cover Art for 'Country Stroll' as designed by Paul Delaney</span></p><p>One of the standout features of 'Country Stroll' is the guest appearance of John Medeski, whose improvisation on the organ adds depth and richness to the composition. Medeski's mastery is on full display as he paints masterfully upon the canvas created by Joshua, contributing to the track's dynamic and immersive quality. His performance commands your attention from the very beginning; and continues to stand out without overpowering the ensemble or overplaying - though it's giving a bit of gospel. The seamless transition from Medeski's organ to Joshua's electric guitar around 1:40 is a testament to the trio's musical synergy.<br><br>Billy Martin's drum solo is a highlight of the track, showcasing not only technical excellence but also a rich display of lyricism and ingenious rhythmic contortions. This is where I felt the jazz vibes. It was creative, yet, in the pocket. The incorporation of nature sounds, specifically the crunching of gravel, enhances the overall listening experience, aligning with the song's theme of a country stroll and the celebration of the beauty of the natural world. As a country-hearted northern boy, this truly feels like the soundtrack to many fond memories with my brothers down south.<br><br>The technical brilliance behind 'Country Stroll' is a collaborative effort, with Chris Bittner's engineering at Applehead Recording (Shoutout out to Woodstock), Ed Brooks' mastering at Resonant Mastering, and Ari Raskin's mixing at Deepwater Studios. These contributions elevate the track to a higher echelon of audio quality, allowing listeners to fully appreciate the nuances of the composition.<br><br>For those who know I used to live in the Hudson Valley, I highly recommend Applehead. The owners were nice enough to let my younger brother produce his mixtape promo there.</p><p>The album art, created by Paul Delaney, adds a visual narrative to the music. The image of a brown bear holding the hand of a white duck taking a stroll is thought-provoking and complements the nostalgic yet modern feel of the song. The choice of animals and the variation of colors create a visual representation of the song's intention, pulling at the listener's inner child.<br><br>Paul's style of art stuck out to me a bit. It reminds me of Eric Carle in the best ways! For those who don't know or remember, Eric Carle is the man responsible for 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. My favorite elements: are the choice and variation of colors, the mix of textures and patterns, and the striking lines between each piece that make the whole.<br><br>"'Country Stroll' is a boundary-defying odyssey, seamlessly blending twang, jazz, and whimsical elements, showcasing Ari Joshua's guitar mastery, John Medeski's legendary organ improvisation, and Billy Martin's inventive drum solo. This composition stands as a milestone in Ari Joshua's diverse career, where virtuosity meets innovation in a celebration of the natural world."</p><p>As a musician known for pushing boundaries and transcending genres, Ari Joshua's 'Country Stroll' is not just a song but a journey through sound, skill, and homage to musical greats. The collaboration with jazz icons John Medeski and Billy Martin, coupled with technical excellence and thoughtful visual artistry, makes this release a standout addition to Joshua's impressive body of work.</p><p><br>Connect with Ari on Social Media</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua</p><p>https://www.twitter.com/arijoshuamusic</p><p>https://www.soundcloud.com/arijoshua-music</p><p><br>Tags:</p><p>acoustic americana folkj azz cinematic instrumental nostalgiac studying vibes lounge easy listening quirkyc lassic sound us based soundtrack country stroll ari joshua john medeski billy martin artist interviewsong premiere</p><p><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.thecmplx.com">https://www.thecmplx.com</a></p><p><br>https://www.thecmplx.com/post/country-stroll-by-ari-joshua-a-musical-odyssey-through-nature-and-virtuosity-with-icons-john-mede</p>

<p id="viewer-1k6oj13919"><span>After an incredibly busy and diverse 2023 which saw him turn out a wealth of dazzling delights every few weeks, Seattle-based artist Ari Joshua is now back for the new year to deliver his breezy new outing 'Country Stroll'.</span></p>
<p id="viewer-gb5501342"><span>Moving further away from the psych-rock aesthetic he developed over the months in pursuit of a more rustic intention, 'Country Stroll' makes for a brilliantly bold and immersive listen. Teaming up with fellow musicians John Medeski and Bill Martin for his latest offering, the three-piece make light work of this swaggering new groove.</span></p>
<p id="viewer-ejpjs5986"><span>While this past year was certainly an inventive one to say the least, 'Country Stroll' shows that he is always ready to try and adopt something different into his sound. With such a vibrant approach to its production at every turn, we are extremely excited to see where his sound is heading for the rest of 2024.</span></p>

</div></div><p>Strap on your metaphorical boots, crank up the volume, and let Ari Joshua lead you on a “Country Stroll,” head bopping, toe tapping, feeling the sun on your skin, the wind in your hair, and the urge to twirl with abandon.</p><p>Ari Joshua’s latest, “Country Stroll,” isn’t just a casual meander through musical fields; it’s a genre-defying stampede, led by a guitar slinger with a restless spirit, a deep well of twang, and a homage to the legendary Bill Frisell. Joshua, an award-winning composer and sonic alchemist, assembles a dream team of improvisational titans – John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on drums – and together they forge music that defies categorization, all while tipping their hats to Frisell’s genre-bending legacy.</p><p>The track opens with a sly swagger, snare rolls whispering promises of adventure before blooming into a full-blown country-blues romp. Joshua’s guitar dances between sun-drenched melodies and gritty riffs, effortlessly navigating the shifting terrain of the song. This is a joyous sprint through musical pastures, punctuated by flourishes of jazz improvisation and the occasional detour into ragtime territory.</p><p><br>Medeski’s organ soars like a benevolent spirit, creating smokey swirls of sound color on the canvas. His solos are flowing and fascinating, demonstrating taste and restraint. And then there’s Martin’s drumming, a restless pulse that propels the song onward with captivating zeal. His solo explodes into a kaleidoscope of rhythm, demonstrating both strength and finesse.</p><p>The interplay between these musicians is nothing short of mesmerizing; they breathe fire into Joshua’s composition, transforming it into a shared artistic pilgrimage, all while carrying the torch of Frisell’s collaborative spirit. Joshua’s infectious enthusiasm for this project is solid. He calls “Country Stroll” a “celebration of the beauty of the natural world and the simple joys of life,” and that spirit shines through in every note. It’s music that makes you want to kick off your shoes, spin around in a dusty field, and bask in the sun’s warm embrace.</p><p><br>The production deserves its own applause. Chris Bittner’s engineering at Applehead Recording captures the raw energy of the trio while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere. Ed Brooks’ mastering polishes the track to a high sheen, and Ari Raskin’s mixing ensures every instrument gets its moment to shine. Paul Delaney’s artwork is a delight – a whimsical vibrant landscape that complements the music’s evocative imagery.</p><p>“Country Stroll” is a genre-defying classic-bound track that marries the warmth of Americana with the improvisational spirit of jazz, all delivered with meticulous craftsmanship and boundless artistic spirit.</p><p>Follow More of Ari Joshua:<br> </p><p>Tags: Americana, Ari Joshua, Ari Raskin, Bill Frisell, Billy Martin, Chris Bittner, Ed Brooks, Folk, John Medesky Seattle, Review, Single<br><br>Link to original article<br><a class="no-pjax" href="http://pressthemusic.com/ari-joshua-country-stroll-single-review/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">http://pressthemusic.com/ari-joshua-country-stroll-single-review/</a></p>

YORK CALLING; The track also sees Ari mixing an old school rock and roll/Americana/country vibe into the mix
<p><strong>Ari Joshua should need no introduction, as we’ve featured him several times before. </strong></p><p>Now he returns with a fantastic new tune, titled Country Stroll.</p><p>By Jane Howkins</p><p>Country Stroll is pretty special, as it also features two fantastic musicians – jazz icon John Medeski on the organ and Billy Martin on drums. As you might expect, it’s pretty jazzy at times, but the track also sees Ari mixing an old school rock and roll/Americana/country vibe into the mix, making for something very special! The organ is particularly cool when it kicks in properly, mixing well with the rest of the powerful instrumentation. It’s an entirely instrumental piece, but don’t let that put you off Country Stroll, as it really is worth your time!</p><p> </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://yorkcalling.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://yorkcalling.co.uk/</a></p>

THE ART OF PLAYING WITH RULES AND EMOTIONS: “COUNTRY STROLL”
<p>THE ART OF PLAYING WITH RULES AND EMOTIONS: <br>“COUNTRY STROLL” BY ARI JOSHUA, JOHN MEDESKI, BILLY MARTIN<br>by Nenes Butler<br>January 12, 2024<br><br>“Country Stroll” by Ari Joshua, with John Medeski, Billy Martin<br>With “Country Stroll”, we present a musical masterpiece that defies categorisation. It is the product of a creative synergy between three virtuosos of their disciplines: Ari Joshua, an award-winning guitarist, composer and producer who has a passion for music that transcends genre boundaries; John Medeski, a brilliant organist who has opened new horizons for jazz; and Billy Martin, a drummer who tells stories with his rhythmic sensitivity. As a blog that does not want to commit to a specific genre, we are fascinated by this singular exception that perfectly matches our credo: different moods require different music, require different genres.</p><p>“Country Stroll”, a tribute to the legendary guitarist Bill Frisell, sounds like an ode to the twang. Joshua’s love for the twang can be compared to a cheerful dog that follows his master and is always ready to explore and tread new paths. He does not let himself be constrained by the rules, but plays with them to have his own fun. The elementary country-blues form, which alternates between steep climbs and rapid descents, before coming to a halt on a gentle hill, can be seen as a playground. It creates tension and expectation, but also joy and relief. It plays with the emotions of the listener, but also with his admiration for the skill of the musician.<br>Ari Joshua is like an architect who designed a magnificent sound palace. He opens the doors for John Medeski, who, like a painter, decorates the walls with bright colours and fills the rooms with life. Joshua himself reaches for his electric guitar and uses it like a spray can to add some graffiti to create a contrast. Like a poet, Billy Martin tells the story of the palace. He uses his drums like a feather; instead of words, he expresses himself in rhythm. This trio reached for the stars and brought them to us in the form of “Country Stroll”. <br>To complete the information: The technical implementation of the song was done by Chris Bittner at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY, Ed Brooks of Resonant Mastering and Ari Raskin of Deepwater Studios in New York City.

Interview with Ari Joshua: Jazz's Lyrical Alchemist Manual Magazines
<p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://manualmagazines.com/ari-joshua-jazzs-lyrical-alchemist/">https://manualmagazines.com/ari-joshua-jazzs-lyrical-alchemist/</a></p><p><strong>Ari Joshua: Jazz's Lyrical Alchemist:</strong><br><strong>by Mercedes Barreto, Manual Magazines</strong></p><p>We sat down with guitarist and composer Ari Joshua who is now unveiling his latest: release "Country Stroll" featuring improv masters and jazz icons John Medeski on organ and Billy Martin on drums. Ari Joshua stands as a sonic alchemist, his guitar strings spinning melodies into gold. Much like the way his heroes have, Joshua conjures a musical tapestry that dances between the lines of jazz and rock, painting soundscapes as vivid as a Van Gogh sky.</p><p>His music, a kaleidoscope of sound, mirrors the intricate weavings beyond style — where notes float like butterflies, delicate yet profound. Each strum is a stroke of impressionist paint on the canvas of silence, creating symphonies that whisper in the ears of the soul. Joshua's compositions are not just songs; they are sonic odysseys. His guitar, akin to an alchemist's wand, transforms the leaden silence into golden harmonies, as if spinning jazz riffs into rock anthems with the ease of a magician. Joshua's music resonates like a chameleon with the timeless echo — a dialogue of strings and spirit, a dance of shadow and light. His tunes are not merely played; they are sculpted, breath by breath, note by note, into a mosaic of musical wonder.</p><p><i>We read more about this phenomenal latest release in this Q&A interview with the iconic musician, Ari Joshua.</i><br><i> </i> <br><strong>What inspired the beginning of this epic collaboration behind the release of ‘Country Stroll’ with John Medeski & Billy Martin?</strong><br><br>I’ve had a dream of this session happening, and it ended up kinda of being pretty natural and organic. The session was among the most special and wonderful recordings I’ve ever been a part of and I am overjoyed to share this music as it comes ready. The inspiration for this track, Country Stroll, was to pay tribute to one of my favorite all time guitarists and artists Bill Frisell. The original title was Zill Fribell’s Country Stroll or something like that. I was just driving up the road from NYC to Woodstock and was listening to some Frisell. I wrote this song while driving up as something I didn’t plan to record, but just for myself. It was like a synesthesia moment. The Catskill Mountains, the meandering streams. I was like, what notes would paint this picture? It’s like a patchwork of farms, old barns, open meadows, that Hudson Valley sky. In the studio, inspiration can be on like a faucet, just in the flow. That was how the whole week was.<br><br><strong>Did you resonate with the players in this session?</strong><br><br>Yeah. They were really nice people. They were so nice and easy to work with that it increased my respect and admiration for them. Same thing with Chris Bittner the engineer. It felt like we had played together a number of times. In general I find often the best players are pretty fun to work with, when it comes to making art together there’s a common thread there. I felt lifted up by their energies and it was pretty effortless to make the music fly. It was a treat to play with players that take the art so seriously and Billy was really generous with his ideas, it was the best way to learn from players like this just to play. A lot happens by osmosis, it’s possible this may be part of my groundhogs day if I could have one. Mabe on a beach with my family nearby. I could do that every day.</p><p><strong>What’s the plan for the music? I see a few works out ‘Let’s Do It Right Now’, ‘Meeting of the Minds’, ‘Dragons Layer’, and the two trio tracks with Jason and Billy. Will there be a project name or an umbrella they all live under?</strong><br><br>As for a plan, ideally we will release everything on vinyl as a volume when the time is right and do a ramp up then, it seems like they are pretty busy but it would be a dream to record more or play some live shows, I’ve been getting lots of offers from people. The plan for all my projects is to drop singles as they are ready. It will all go through Music Factory Records which is part of The Music Factory (music school). It just takes a lot of time and resources to produce the music. Billy told me as we were recording I would have more content then I knew what to do with. I love the process of getting art together for each release and sharing the music. That’s where things are now and I am grateful for it. <br> <br><strong>What if anything did you take away from the experience? Is this a project we can expect to hear more from? </strong><br><br>The takeaway is that I felt really at home in this session. I had a few moments as we were working where I thought to myself just how great this was. Sometimes when you work with busy people or higher profile folks they just wanna come in and do their parts and leave, it can feel transactional, but I felt a kinship here, it was the ideal way to make art. I would probably have hung out with these guys in middle school. I listened to all their ideas, and made room to collaborate beyond my expectations. I think everyone is different but this stuff is a big factor. I hope I can attract more situations like this in the next 5-10 years where it just feels like that. I’ve released about just 10% of the material so you will hear more for certain. <br><br>The session was split into three sections, day two was a quartet, with bassist Jason Fraticelli (Matisyahu, Cyro Baptista) and the other half was a trio, Medeski on bass. My friend Jason was driving home from a masterclass with Cyro Baptista, and joined us. If you look it up you will find some recordings published of Billy and Jason as a trio, The Garden, and Into the Void, both fully improvised. We played a bit the first night and John joined us the next day, Jason ended up going back to Philadelphia, and we finished up in an organ trio format, which I love. John played organ bass on this one. We played the music down on the first or second take. <br> </p><p><strong>How would you describe your musical style or genre to someone discovering you on our platform without hearing your catalog?</strong><br><br>I’d say they would do best to take a week or a month to dig through my works, and listen front to back because there are often hidden parts and sections. Without hearing it I would hope they will find a player that can speak the language of several styles of music well enough to create new ideas and new sounds that express unique feelings and emotions through the lessons of the masters. I gravitate to art that has a certain element of mastery and derivatives from the masters, something learned by human feel, and exploration. There are rudiments in physics and chemistry and in the universe that can be boiled down to sound and frequencies. Beyond the sounds I hope a new lister can see the creations as more than just the notes. I like to sit in different places on the beat in that way and mix the wrong notes with the right ones. It’s a feeling. As well as Duke Ellington, and Count Basie and Coltrane and Miles Davis, I also grew up on Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Nirvana, and Soundgarden and all that music. I have some rock n’ roll roots, grunge roots, jazz roots, funk roots, reggae roots, and I tend to like to throw paint at the wall and twist knobs sas well so to speak. That’s why Jerry Garcia and Trey Anastasio always resonated with me so much, as they danced in the middle of all the styles, yet found those moments of pure truth and realness with the non-musician listeners. I think in a way I am more concerned with the crowd’s resonance in and of itself than the style of music it’s consuming. If the crowd is resonant, then I can usually find the right notes and rhythms to play. It’s like a hologram; it just is there. <br><br><strong>Do you have a message regarding the importance of production crew when it comes to touring as a musician. Why and how so?</strong><br><br>All the team members make a difference. The team is the dream. There are people that LOVE to mix, and love to capture sounds, there are people for all the jobs that go into making a production successful. I think people put too much expectations on artists, and creatives at this time. My message is let’s support the artists you love so they can give these beautiful people jobs, and make the kind of quality productions and art the world really needs right now. If you like the music, visit the sign and buy everything you can, even if it’s just an impulse buy. If you like the art enough it’s probably a result of the artists putting a huge percent of what their bandwidth is into the creative process. The right crew allows the sparks to turn to flames, and the flames to travel and light up the world. <br> <br><strong>What was the preparation, the pre-production like with the musicians prior to recording ‘Country Stroll’ and do you have any other information about its creation?</strong><br><br>There were a few conversations, after John and I found the dates, we were talking about drums and bass options. It was pretty organic, I checked in with him a few times to see. John was like, I can read just about anything. I prepared and sent some files with some charts and demo’s and loops of ideas. He looked it over and was happy with the material. Billy was more about the moment. I learned a good deal from both of them just being a part of this. Billy had some really cool shit to say, I took several profound lessons from him. I sent him some demo’s and charts. He must have checked it out but as an artist he was like, whatever we do, it’s about what’s important to you when we are in the room. He was like I will be there to help you in the moment to realize your visions. He was like prepare all you want, but really all that matters is that moment when we are there in the room about to hit record, what song are we doing? So we would run a song and record the first take. It would start to take on a life of its own. If anything I may address a wrong chord on the page but then it was like how do we wanna approach this song? I also knew I needed to be free to let go. I wrote a bag of material and walked into the room like even if we don't do any of this material, we will still create something special and if we hit 10-25% of these concepts I’ll be ecstatic. Billy was like in the moment if you feel any one song or another that’s where we will be till it’s done. That’s how it was. It all happened moment to moment, and everything was really special. This particular track and the one coming in a few weeks ‘Elephant Walk’ had forms and ideas, but there was also a lot of' let's just close our eyes and make it happen, just free. It was like one chapter to another smooth, in the few dates we were there I think 99.9% of the material will get used in time. <br> <br><strong>Where can we find more music like ‘Country Stroll’ and why should we do so today? </strong><br><br>You can find my music on any streaming service, search; Ari Joshua, Ari Joshua Quartet, Big High, Space Owl, there’s a few other monikers.

If you like as well you can look up MMW, Billy Martin, or John Medeski on any stream.<br> <br><strong>Is there anything you can add here?

Blending threads garnered from everything from jazz to psychedelia, rock to blues, and more besides, “Country Stroll” is a beautiful sonic beast, swaggering through a jazz landscape with confidence, firing off guitar salvos that move from staccato riffs to ornate phrases, from chiming motifs to soothing understatement.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">But one guitarist does not a song make. Billy Martin is equally expressive with his drum patterns, and concise and creative fills, often holding down the rhythmic center to allow the other musicians to wander, explore, meander, and invent at will. And behind it all is John Medeski and his electric organ, which ebbs and flows, washes and waves behind, between and beyond the structures that are being laid down, a sort of sonic glue that holds everything together, smooths off the edges and turns what might otherwise feel like more angular moments into poised and polished finishes.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Songs such as “Country Stroll” and indeed artists like those behind this smart and musically scintillating piece remind us that while music is a form of entertainment, it can also be clever, intricate, ornate, unpredictable, and adventurous and still be accessible. And, accessible not just to the already converted, the jazz hounds, the guitar aficionados and the blues brethren, but to a whole raft of discerning music fans found across the musical landscape.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">After all, good music is good music. Actually, did I say good? Make that great!</span></p>

But what he does best is hard to put into words easily, which makes my job as a writer a bit tricky.

<p><span style="color:#000000;">JAN 11, 2024 </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Promenading with Bill Frisell</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Seattle-based artist Ari Joshua has already collaborated with Billy Martin and John Medeski in the past. The album Meeting of the Minds which was among the most listened-to releases in the MangoWave headquartes in 2023, is just one out of four great releases that features these three genius musicians. With the new single Country Stroll, Joshua, Martin and Medeski have published a track in trio formation for the first time. And although the 200-second tune features less musicians than previous releases, it does not lack a bit of volume or eloquence.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Country Stroll is an honouring nod to William Richard Frisell. And the song written and composed by Ari Joshua is indeed a graceful tribute to Frisells work as it is built on a solid foundation made from Jazz and Blues, yet goes far beyond the genres‘ realms.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">With artistic sensitivity and joyful eloquence, the trio creates a colourful sonic world for their audience to dive in to. Nimble-footed, the listeners can thus stroll through a colourful scenery. Country Stroll is like a giant oil painting, gorgeous in its entirety, and full of beautiful details that want to be discovered. You can listen to this passionate piece many times and still explore something new. This truly is a masterpiece of cinematic music. </span><br><br><span style="color:#000000;">Click the link for the orioginal article </span><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://mangowave-magazine.com/reviews/ari-joshua-billy-martin-john-medeski-country-stroll/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>https://mangowave-magazine.com/reviews/ari-joshua-billy-martin-john-medeski-country-stroll/</strong></span></a></p>

WWAM Magazine; Space Owl creates a genre-defining journey on single, "Flask"
<p><strong>Space Owl creates a genre-defining journey on single, "Fla</strong>In the vast cosmos of musical innovation, Space Owl's latest single, "Flask," emerges as a celestial masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of conventional composition. Crafted by the brilliant mind of Ari Joshua, this through-composed epic is a sonic odyssey that encapsulates a fusion of genres, taking the listener on a mesmerizing journey that defies expectations and redefines the very essence of musical exploration.</p><p>"Flask" opens with a nod to the avant-garde genius of Frank Zappa, establishing an audacious and classical foundation that serves as the launching pad for a musical expedition. The song unfolds like a map of the uncharted, with multiple time signatures guiding the listener through landscapes that morph from classical to reggae and seamlessly transition into the realms of jam rock. Ari's compositional prowess shines brightly, creating a 6 and a half-minute instrumental journey that feels both expansive and deeply intricate.</p><p>The brilliance of "Flask" lies not only in its genre-bending nature but also in its ability to keep the listener focused and hypnotized throughout its unfolding narrative. It’s a song where classic and modern rock elements collide in a delightful collision of experimental textures. The result is a track that feels simultaneously rooted in tradition and propelled forward by a spirit of unbridled experimentation.</p><p>At the heart of "Flask" is its dynamic structure, akin to a palindrome, where the journey peaks in the middle only to restart, unwinding in reverse order. This cyclical narrative adds an extra layer of intrigue to the composition, inviting the listener to explore the twists and turns of the musical labyrinth that Space Owl has artfully crafted.</p><p>The super fun and upbeat nature of the song is infectious, making it a standout piece that showcases not only his technical proficiency but also his ability to infuse joy and energy into his creations.

ARTIST REVIEW: SPACE OWL, FLASK by P.O.
<p>Ir para o conteúdo principal<br>PIGEON OPINION 31 de dez. de 2023<br><strong>ARTIST REVIEW: SPACE OWL</strong><br><br>Review</p><p>"Flask" reveals an exquisite production on the keys and the symbiotic relationship that is established between the drums and these upbeat melodies that seem to come from a jamming session. The process is relatively slow but full of suspense, with the strings of this space owl leading me to swing on its wings like a child having fun in a playground or riding their imaginary dragon. Then there are the longed-for voices from behind the microphone, pointing us to a secret path shrouded in mystery and fantasy, Harry Potter. The melodies are as cartoony and cinematic as the unique work of the Unicorns and Flask takes us on a space odyssey achieved through the contrast between low and high sounds. It's a privilege to be able to keep up with the quirky ideas of Ari Joshua and his cohorts on progressive and highly nostalgic pieces like this!</p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/62fd322b306ec23f37096bbf575d96a961d03b3d/original/screenshot-2024-01-21-at-10-36-20-pm.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/bc48824f1f78dfba02cfa9d3c6b560ef88baafdd/original/screenshot-2024-01-21-at-10-36-08-pm.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/fa2146c295c89495e8ce89d73f6a309026ba338b/original/screenshot-2024-01-21-at-10-36-02-pm.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

An Interview with Space Owl from Broken 8 Records
<p>An Interview with Space Owl<br>December 25, 2023<br><br>A band formed in 2011 by Ari Joshua, Bob Lovelace, John Ewing, and David Appelbaum, Space Owl have risen to prominence in recent years for their unique, boundary transcending sounds. After guitarist Ari released his special vault recording ‘Eyes Only’, a collaboration with Robert Glasper, that quickly found its place amongst music lovers, the band have continued to treas their own path for several decades now.</p><p>Since bursting into life, Space Owl have continued to craft sonic odysseys and genre-bending epics, embarking on their own unique and wonderfully experimental journeys to deliver pioneering hits like ‘Home’, ‘Thunder and Lightning’, and ‘Mountain Song’. Today, the band are back in the spotlight and armed with a very special new single, unveiling the brilliant ‘Flask’ on Christmas Day.</p><p>To celebrate the release, Ari from the band was kind enough to sit down with us and speak a bit more about his journey into music, the new single, and what’s next in the ever-changing world of Space Owl.</p><p>Ari, it’s great to catch up with you, thanks for coming along to speak with us. Let’s take things right back - when did you first start making music?</p><p>“I started with an old piano in our playroom, which had a huge sound. I was more into creating my own music than following lessons. My grandmother in Cape Town said 'Music' was one of my first words, It has always been a medium that made perfect sense to me, something I resonated with, and valued tremendously. When we moved to the States, we didn’t have a lot, we moved around a lot, I was into Nintendo, playing outside, and sports, but music eventually the music took over. The piano and my first guitar, both a bit out of tune, were my initial instruments of passion, as soon as I got my first guitar around age 13, I was obsessed, I learned as much as I could by ear, got some lessons, and by 9th grade I was in the Jazz Band at school.”</p><p>What inspired you to start your journey into music?</p><p>“Initially probably the way it made people light up around me when it came on the radio, or records. Music was a bit more sacred in those days. If you wanted to hear a song you loved you had to wait hours on the radio, go see it live, or buy the record. But I sensed the way it made life better, and I wanted to be a part of that. I wanted to supply that kind of joy to people, I just knew that I could do something special with the medium. The guitar was an outlet from day one. It was a way to tune in to something and to express my feelings. Even after only a few weeks of playing I sort of understood that much. If I was upset with my family I would crank up, and play. If I had time I would plug in and practice. Once I started one of my best friends picked up the guitar shortly after, that was a big help, it became part of my life via friends and school.”</p><p>Space Owl has a very fluid approach to genre and style. Have there been any major influences that have helped define your music?</p><p>“I am defined by so many different influences. Flask is really inspired by Trey Anastasio and Phish really, and Frank Zappa. It has some almost classical passages as well. I am not sure from what composer that came from, it was sort of just inside me and came out on composition day. I wrote this in my 20’s and carried it around since then. I have added a few things, but it is mostly the same.”</p><p>How would you describe your sound?</p><p>“My sound is a conduit for emotions, reflective of how I feel. ‘Flask’ is a great example, showcasing complexity, nuance, and what to me feels like the soulful truth in the sounds.”</p><p>That’s a wonderful point about ‘Flask’, Can you tell us a little about the single?</p><p>“I've been releasing music under my record label, Music Factory Records. We put out ‘Dragons Layer’ among others. ‘Flask’ is from Space Owl, a band with Bob Lovelace, John Ewing, and David Appelbaum. We're excited about upcoming trio tracks with John Medeski and Billy Martin, a new phase in our musical journey. Keep an eye out for ‘Country Stroll’ and ‘Elephant Walk’ in January."</p><p>Is there a particular songwriting process you follow or works best for you?</p><p>“I let the music come out naturally, often completing a piece in one sitting. I wish I had a band available all the time for spontaneous creation if I did, I would write music all the time, and be waiting for the moments to try things out. It would result in so much more music. A lot of times I save the ideas for later, or just look for collaborations with people that I am excited to work with.”</p><p>What’s the most important thing for you when you’re writing a song?</p><p>“Who am I writing for, and what is the sound I envision. Knowing the song has a destination, like a band waiting for it or a studio session, makes the process flow smoothly. Everything else, like motivation and style, unfolds naturally once I know where the song is headed. You never know what it’s gonna sound like, but so far so good. The actual recording process usually exposes something special.”</p><p>What’s next for you now that ‘Flask’ is out?</p><p>“I'm looking forward to releasing more music from the vault and working on processes and infrastructure with Music Factory Records and keeping things together at The Music Factory music school. I'm always open to collaborations that align with my style. In Space Owl, we're dealing with busy schedules, but there's more music to share, like recorded music that is mixed and ready for artwork. I have about 100 songs waiting to be produced and released. I love working with artists to create special artwork and get things in line. If anyone is reading this, I would also love to be taken on the road by a band or some friends out there that are dialled in. I am made to play for the people, I am ready for a booking agent or a manager that can help be a part of what could be next. Also, attention content creators, podcast hosts, and blogs, also educational music camps, and festivals. I am ready for what is next. Something is coming.”</p><p>Before we left you go, do you have anything you would like to say to our audience?</p><p>“I encourage folks to support the arts more. Keep liking pages and messaging artists but it’s not just about that. It's about sharing their work, buying their art, and engaging with the community. You can support me by signing up for music lessons at The Music Factory or subscribing to my music page for access to audio, charts, and content. Consider supporting the arts, especially in these changing times. Artists are tapping into the now, converting it into something special. Your support can make a huge difference. To sign up for music lessons or buy a gift certificate you can go to www.musicfactorynw.com you can sign yourself or your kids up, and we also teach online so you can take lessons online anywhere in the country or the world! Also, you can visit www.arijoshua.com and buy music and sheet music, and you can subscribe to my page and pledge a monthly subscription. You can also sign up to the email list and learn more about the content that is being created. Other places to support my music through is Band Camp, and all the streaming services. It all adds up.”</p><p>“You can also find me on most of the social media apps, but be weary of copycat pages, I have heard there are a few out there. Lastly if there is anything I want to share it’s that we are in a world where people are so fascinated with the trending topics and thinking about stuff in a really angular way. Life is vast, life is miraculous, the world is vast, the universe is even bigger. I feel like artists are on the forefront of spending energy on what is really important here. I just encourage everyone to unplug from the matrix as it is, and music is probably one of the best ways to do that. Support the folks dedicated to making it a full-time mission.”</p><p>Available now on all major streaming platforms, ‘Flask’ is a powerful illustration of the band’s style and energy, delivering a genre-bending epic that will have you enraptured. An artful melding of talents, the new single sees every part of the band showcasing their unique talents, contributing to the creation of a sonic landscape that is both intricately detailed and breathtakingly expansive.</p><p>For more of Space Owl and Ari’s music, be sure to check out their Spotify page and socials below.</p><p>Connect with Space Owl,</p><p>Website<br>Facebook<br>Instagram<br>Twitter<br>Bandcamp<br> </p><p> </p><p>Original Website Link:<br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://broken8records.com/blogs/interviews/an-interview-with-space-owl" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://broken8records.com/blogs/interviews/an-interview-with-space-owl</a></p><p><br>An Interview with Space Owl<br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">December 25, 2023</span><br><br><strong>A band formed in 2011 by Ari Joshua, Bob Lovelace, John Ewing, and David Appelbaum, Space Owl have risen to prominence in recent years for their unique, boundary transcending sounds.

<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Is there a particular songwriting process you follow or works best for you?</strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">“I let the music come out naturally, often completing a piece in one sitting. I wish I had a band available all the time for spontaneous creation if I did, I would write music all the time, and be waiting for the moments to try things out. It would result in so much more music. A lot of times I save the ideas for later, or just look for collaborations with people that I am excited to work with.”</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">What’s the most important thing for you when you’re writing a song?</strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">“Who am I writing for, and what is the sound I envision. Knowing the song has a destination, like a band waiting for it or a studio session, makes the process flow smoothly. Everything else, like motivation and style, unfolds naturally once I know where the song is headed. You never know what it’s gonna sound like, but so far so good. The actual recording process usually exposes something special.”</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">What’s next for you now that ‘Flask’ is out?</strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">“I'm looking forward to releasing more music from the vault and working on processes and infrastructure with Music Factory Records and keeping things together at The Music Factory music school. I'm always open to collaborations that align with my style. In Space Owl, we're dealing with busy schedules, but there's more music to share, like recorded music that is mixed and ready for artwork. I have about 100 songs waiting to be produced and released. I love working with artists to create special artwork and get things in line. If anyone is reading this, I would also love to be taken on the road by a band or some friends out there that are dialled in. I am made to play for the people, I am ready for a booking agent or a manager that can help be a part of what could be next. Also, attention content creators, podcast hosts, and blogs, also educational music camps, and festivals. I am ready for what is next. Something is coming.”</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Before we left you go, do you have anything you would like to say to our audience?</strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">“I encourage folks to support the arts more. Keep liking pages and messaging artists but it’s not just about that. It's about sharing their work, buying their art, and engaging with the community. You can support me by signing up for music lessons at The Music Factory or subscribing to my music page for access to audio, charts, and content. Consider supporting the arts, especially in these changing times. Artists are tapping into the now, converting it into something special. Your support can make a huge difference. To sign up for music lessons or buy a gift certificate you can go to <a class="no-pjax" href="https://broken8records.com/blogs/interviews/www.musicfactorynw.com" target="_blank"><u>www.musicfactorynw.com</u></a> you can sign yourself or your kids up, and we also teach online so you can take lessons online anywhere in the country or the world! Also, you can visit <a class="no-pjax" href="https://broken8records.com/blogs/interviews/www.arijoshua.com" target="_blank"><u>www.arijoshua.com</u></a> and buy music and sheet music, and you can subscribe to my page and pledge a monthly subscription. You can also sign up to the email list and learn more about the content that is being created. Other places to support my music through is Band Camp, and all the streaming services. It all adds up.”</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">“You can also find me on most of the social media apps, but be weary of copycat pages, I have heard there are a few out there. Lastly if there is anything I want to share it’s that we are in a world where people are so fascinated with the trending topics and thinking about stuff in a really angular way. Life is vast, life is miraculous, the world is vast, the universe is even bigger. I feel like artists are on the forefront of spending energy on what is really important here. I just encourage everyone to unplug from the matrix as it is, and music is probably one of the best ways to do that. Support the folks dedicated to making it a full-time mission.”</p>

Music & Entertainers Magazine Flask: fusion of 80s rock, classic tones, and serene, relaxing melodies.
<p>Space Owl: ‘FLASK’ Original Single<br>by Dean Achie<br><br>Space Owl‘s latest creation, “FLASK,” emerges as a captivating rock opus that spans over 6 minutes and 30 seconds, promising a nostalgic journey through a fusion of 80s rock, classic tones, and serene, relaxing melodies. Released on December 25th, 2023, this musical masterpiece showcases the band’s evolution since their formation in 2011, initiated by Ari Joshua, Bob Lovelace, John Ewing, and David Appelbaum.</p><p>“FLASK,” a showcase for Space Owl’s collective musical skill, has a rhythmic synergy between John Ewing on drums, Bob Lovelace on bass, and David Appelbaum on keyboards, driven by Ari Joshua’s virtuoso guitar performance. By combining their individual talents, each member creates a richly textured aural world that enthralls the listener from beginning to end.</p><p>The song’s path develops dynamically, starting with a fusion of lovely guitar and percussion parts that subtly add a hint of reggae vibes before returning to the original tempo. The vocals, which are introduced shortly after, harmonize with a new piano and guitar rhythm that takes center stage around the two-minute mark. The calm musical composition is perfectly complemented by the vocals, which dance with ease.<br>At approximately 4 minutes into the track, another vocal interlude emerges, riding the same wave of psychedelic, easy-listening melodies before seamlessly transitioning back to the instrumentation that carries the composition through to its conclusion.</p><p>As a kind of musical route, “FLASK” leads listeners through engaging melodies that move between different time signatures and key shifts, reflecting space and time. Space Owl creates a soundscape that is at once recognizable and surprisingly inventive by deftly fusing elements of classical music, jazz fusion, and prog rock.</p><p>Space Owl, with their decade-long journey, demonstrates an unyielding commitment to pushing musical boundaries. Their recent exploration into previously unreleased tracks showcases the band’s versatility, from Bob Lovelace’s reminiscent “Thunder and Lightning” to the diverse compositions of “Home,” “I Will Come To You,” and “Why Does Love Always Break Your Heart.” Ari Joshua’s visionary approach to composition, shaped by his experiences at The New School in NYC and collaborations with various artists, further underscores the band’s depth and creativity.</p><p><br>“FLASK” is now available for streaming and download across major platforms, inviting listeners to embark on an immersive musical expedition curated by Space Owl.</p><hr><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://musicandentertainers.com/space-owl-flask-original-single/">https://musicandentertainers.com/space-owl-flask-original-single/</a></p><hr><p> </p><header><h1 itemprop="name">Space Owl: ‘FLASK’ Original Single</h1>

<p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.arijoshua.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Space Owl</a>‘s latest creation, “FLASK,” emerges as a captivating rock opus that spans over 6 minutes and 30 seconds, promising a nostalgic journey through a fusion of 80s rock, classic tones, and serene, relaxing melodies. Released on December 25th, 2023, this musical masterpiece showcases the band’s evolution since their formation in 2011, initiated by Ari Joshua, Bob Lovelace, John Ewing, and David Appelbaum.</p>
<p>“FLASK,” a showcase for Space Owl’s collective musical skill, has a rhythmic synergy between John Ewing on drums, Bob Lovelace on bass, and David Appelbaum on keyboards, driven by Ari Joshua’s virtuoso guitar performance. By combining their individual talents, each member <a class="no-pjax" href="https://musicandentertainers.com/french-caviar-hard-for-the-money-remix-single/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">creates a richly textured aural world</a> that enthralls the listener from beginning to end.</p>
<p>The song’s path develops dynamically, starting with a fusion of lovely guitar and percussion parts that subtly add a hint of reggae vibes before returning to the original tempo. The vocals, which are introduced shortly after, harmonize with a new piano and guitar rhythm that takes center stage around the two-minute mark. The calm musical composition is perfectly complemented by the vocals, which dance with ease.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image" style="box-sizing:inherit;margin-bottom:0px;"><figure><img src="https://musicandentertainers.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/space_owl_at_blue_moon.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="space owl at blue moon" height="183" width="275" /><figcaption><strong>Space Owl </strong>at Blue Moon</figcaption></figure></div>
<p>At approximately 4 minutes into the track, another vocal interlude emerges, riding the same wave of psychedelic, easy-listening melodies before seamlessly transitioning back to the instrumentation that carries the composition through to its conclusion.</p>
<p>As a kind of musical route, “FLASK” leads listeners through engaging melodies that move between different time signatures and key shifts, reflecting space and time. Space Owl creates a soundscape that is at once recognizable and surprisingly inventive by deftly fusing elements of classical music, jazz fusion, and prog rock.</p>
<p>Space Owl, with their decade-long journey, demonstrates an unyielding commitment to pushing musical boundaries. Their recent exploration into previously unreleased tracks showcases the band’s versatility, from Bob Lovelace’s reminiscent “Thunder and Lightning” to the diverse compositions of “Home,” “I Will Come To You,” and “Why Does Love Always Break Your Heart.” Ari Joshua’s visionary approach to composition, shaped by his experiences at The New School in NYC and collaborations with various artists, further underscores the band’s depth and creativity.</p>

Broken8Records: Space Owl deliver an undeniable sonic odyssey in new single ‘Flask’
<p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://broken8records.com/blogs/reviews/space-owl-deliver-an-undeniable-sonic-odyssey-in-new-single-flask" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">Space Owl deliver an undeniable sonic odyssey in new single ‘Flask’</a><br>December 25, 2023 2 min read</p><p><br>A band that revels in creating vast genre-bending epics and rapturous sonic soundscapes, Space Owl is the creative culmination of Ari Joshua, Bob Lovelace. John Ewing, and David Appelbaum. A unique and expansive project that has been building evolving since 2011, Space Owl have recently shared their latest impressive cut, showcasing a multi-faceted and engaging sound that is both familiar and wonderfully innovative.</p><p>Simply titled ‘Flask’, the new single surfaced online today, emerging through the crushing maelstrom of Christmas songs to deliver an intoxicating rock and roll anthology distilled into six-and-a-half minutes. Billed by the band as a “genre-bending behemoth”, ‘Flask’ is a song that takes no time in arriving, bursting into life with jaunty, cosmically tinged instruments. There is an immediate interplay between the guitar, bass, drums, and keys, with each artist and instrument working in harmony with a joyous free-flowing jazz energy.</p><p>As the song continues, the transformative qualities of Space Owl arrive in full show, and the song shifts effortlessly between different time signatures and key changes, reflecting the innovative nature of the band. Through the changing focal points, Space Owl infuse the song with a broad spectrum of sounds, delving into etching of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and even classical music to bring the epic to life. At the heart of ‘Flask’, Ari’s guitar stands tall, leading the track at every turn, but while memorable, you can’t help but notice how seamlessly and balanced the whole piece is, with every member of the band making themselves known.</p><p>A magical piece, ‘Flask’ is one of those rare tracks that needs to be heard several times before you can really appreciate every piece of it. Every subsequent listen brings about a new touch of wonder, with the ever-changing melody constantly building new structures upon this dazzling sonic soundscape. Intricately detailed and almost infinitely expansive, ‘Flask’ is a song that deserves all the praise and attention it can find.</p><p>In a recent interview with Ari, he told us, “My sound is a conduit for emotions, reflective of how I feel. ‘Flask’ is a great example…”, and in truth, we couldn’t agree more. Effortlessly enjoyable and so easy to get lost in, ‘Flask’ is a true testament to the band’s abilities, taking a song that is complex and wonderfully detailed, and making it easily accessible and instantly enjoyable.</p><p>Score: 9/10</p><p>Connect with Space Owl,</p><p>Website<br>Facebook<br>Instagram<br>Twitter<br>Bandcamp<br><br> </p><hr><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://broken8records.com/blogs/reviews/space-owl-deliver-an-undeniable-sonic-odyssey-in-new-single-flask">https://broken8records.com/blogs/reviews/space-owl-deliver-an-undeniable-sonic-odyssey-in-new-single-flask</a></p><hr><div class="container hide-when-banner-enabled" style='-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;flex:1 1 auto;font-family:"Open Sans", sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:0px auto;orphans:2;position:relative;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;'><div class="heading-wrapper--article heading-wrapper heading-wrapper--short one-whole column is-flex is-flex-column is-align-left text-align-left" style="align-items:flex-start;box-sizing:inherit;display:flex;flex-direction:column;margin-bottom:40px;margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;text-align:left;width:calc(100% - 20px);"><h1>Space Owl deliver an undeniable sonic odyssey in new single ‘Flask’</h1></div></div><div class="container blog-meta" style='-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;flex:1 1 auto;font-family:"Open Sans", sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:0px auto;orphans:2;position:relative;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;'><div class="one-whole column meta-info is-small" style="box-sizing:inherit;margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;width:calc(100% - 20px);"><ul>

At the heart of ‘Flask’, Ari’s guitar stands tall, leading the track at every turn, but while memorable, you can’t help but notice how seamlessly and balanced the whole piece is, with every member of the band making themselves known.</p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1">A magical piece, ‘Flask’ is one of those rare tracks that needs to be heard several times before you can really appreciate every piece of it. Every subsequent listen brings about a new touch of wonder, with the ever-changing melody constantly building new structures upon this dazzling sonic soundscape. Intricately detailed and almost infinitely expansive, ‘Flask’ is a song that deserves all the praise and attention it can find.</p>

Effortlessly enjoyable and so easy to get lost in, ‘Flask’ is a true testament to the band’s abilities, taking a song that is complex and wonderfully detailed, and making it easily accessible and instantly enjoyable.</p>

Their recent vault exploration unearthed a treasure trove of previously unreleased material, including the captivating “Thunder and Lightning”, a Bob Lovelace composition that evokes the spirit of the Grateful Dead’s legendary live shows. Additionally, “Home”, “I Will Come To You”, and “Why Does Love Always Break Your Heart” showcase the band’s versatility, ranging from pop-rock sensibilities to poignant ballads.</p><p>Composer Ari Joshua, is a visionary. He honed his skills at The New School in NYC and collaborated with various artists, including Big High, AriSawkaDoria, and countless others. Additionally, Ari founded The Music Factory, a music school celebrating its 15th anniversary, providing over 100,000 music lessons and employing close to 100 individuals.

You won’t be disappointed.</h3><p style="text-align:center;">Flask is Space Owl’s Single Out Now</p><p style="text-align:center;"><iframe style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent !important;border-radius:12px;border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:100%;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/6IVvY7UpbOhSmyrlcSmbVp?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p><h3>Space Owl is no stranger to pushing boundaries. With over a decade of experience, they have earned a loyal following for their unique blend of psychedelic rock and genre-bending explorations. Their recent vault exploration unearthed a treasure trove of previously unreleased material, including the captivating “Thunder and Lightning”, a Bob Lovelace composition that evokes the spirit of the Grateful Dead’s legendary live shows. Additionally, “Home”, “I Will Come To You”, and “Why Does Love Always Break Your Heart” showcase the band’s versatility, ranging from pop-rock sensibilities to poignant ballads.</h3><h3>Composer Ari Joshua, is a visionary. He honed his skills at The New School in NYC and collaborated with various artists, including Big High, AriSawkaDoria, and countless others. Additionally, Ari founded The Music Factory, a music school celebrating its 15th anniversary, providing over 100,000 music lessons and employing close to 100 individuals.</h3><p><br> </p><hr><p> </p>

<p>Setting the tone with a dimensional and timeless energy, <strong>Space Owl</strong> open <i><strong>Flask </strong></i>with a retro-tinged, 80s vibe reminiscent of the score for a family friendly TV show.</p>

Gifted Balance Records interview with Ari Joshua
<p>Getting Close With Ari Joshua<br>November 30, 2023</p><p>Good evening to all of you beautiful people out there and thank you for tuning in once again to your favorite music blog, The Study Lounge. We hope you all are feeling your best and having a great day up to this point. Today has been a great one full of some amazing reviews here but, we plan on switching things up and doing an interview with an artist we have been following for quite some time. We hope you all are ready because we are going to dive right on in and show off our interview with Ari Joshua.</p><p>Ari Joshua, a dynamic musician and performer, brings a diverse sound shaped by his international upbringing. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, and raised in Seattle, WA, Ari's musical passion emerged early in life. Securing a scholarship after high school, he journeyed to the East Coast to study music, refining his ability to convey powerful musical expression. Ari's dedication and mastery have firmly established him among the cherished figures in the music scene. His journey from Cape Town to Seattle and the East Coast encapsulates a rich narrative, reflecting the global influences that converge in his art. Ari Joshua stands as a testament to the transformative power of musical dedication, earning him acclaim as a beloved performer in the vibrant world of music. Our interview went as follows;</p><p>What first got you into music?<br>”I was first exposed to music as a toddler in Cape Town, South Africa through my grandmother’s record player. My first word was ‘Mimic’, I was trying to say ‘Music’ I think it became a running joke for her every time i’d visit. She loved music and says my grandfather did too. I would run to the record player as I ran into her Seapoint apartment and wanted them to play music. I almost remember it. I must have been 3-4 years old. My family always had great records laying around thought. I am a vinyl baby. I learned in the time before the internet, and really access to shortcuts. We learned off the wax.”</p><p>Who inspired you to make music?<br>”Jimi Hendrix was the hammer and the nail that made me want to make music. I heard what he was doing and I wanted to access those feelings. It was electric.”</p><p>How would you describe the music that you typically create?<br>”I would describe my music as composition forward, and multi genre influenced. There is often a mood or an image, or an idea behind the music when it comes to me. The music is sort of out there it comes through me, and I decode it almost like an antenna or a wifi signal. It’s ultimately an expression, and a feeling. I would describe it as new versions of everything that came before.”</p><p>What is your creative process like?<br>”My creative process was really all I worked on for decades. I practiced being open minded and having a blank slate and just letting it happen. I sort of need a reason or motivation for what I am trying to channel, then the ideas come pouring out until I turn the faucet off. I love that more than any of the other parts of the industry, but the reality of the business now is where you really have to spread out and also cover the other aspects of creating and sharing art.”</p><p>Who would you most like to collaborate with?<br>”I seem to be on a lucky streak, after so many years of hard work the collaborations are really coming more easily. I was thrilled to work with John Medeski, and Billy Martin last year and am sharing those works now. I recently spoke to Mike Dillon, Brain Haas, and the Nolatet about making music. I mean, I’d love to work with the members of The Grateful Dead, Phish, and Pearl Jam. Acts like that are so influential, and they all have so much wisdom to impart. I learn the most via osmosis, that’s the kind of people I wanna work with. Also I would love to meet more producers, and remix artists, and get to work with people like Amon Tobin. Amon Tobin may be my #1 dream collaboration.”</p><p>What is one message you would give to your fans?<br>”Keep following your dreams, it’s gonna be hard, it may even seem impossible at times, but there is a light at the end of these tunnels. I would also like to share that my music is really more than music. It’s all that I believe in and stand for, it’s my way to bring light in the world and navigate the low points. My message is keep going, and thank you for seeing me.”</p><p>Do you have any upcoming shows?<br>”Yes all the time. Go to www.arijoshua.com and click tour or shows.”</p><p><br>How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?<br>”Man, that is a big question. Do you have a week where I can talk uninterrupted non stop? LOL. There are more opportunities for distribution, more power for a creative entity to reach people that’s on the plus side. There is also an over-saturated, overly competitive environment that laid the groundwork for a very predatory, and greedy group of powers to really hijack the artform in a way. Not to get too dark but, there are pluses and minuses. Mostly, I would have done it differently, more fairly if I was in charge.”</p><p>Which famous musicians do you admire?<br>”So many. All the jazz greats, Coltrane, Monk, Ellington, Ornette Colman. All the rock giants, Hendrix, SRV, Led Zeppelin. All the Seattle stuff, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice n Chains, all that. Also great classical music, and great EDM Bass Music. This is an impossible question. I also love the Jamband derivatives, Phish, Grateful Dead.”</p><p>What is the most trouble you’ve ever gotten into?<br>”Woh that’s personal!!!! Me and my friends were climbing on the roof one summer of our old school, it was when we came back from college and we ment no harm. The police raided us out of nowhere, later they were saying there were wanted people in the area on the run, and they thought it may be us. They had a k9 unit and guns drawn. It was terrifying, but it all worked out. I am really grateful the police seem to have chilled out a lot over the last 10 years. They are much needed and appreciated but let’s have them focus on real problems.”</p><p>What is the best advice you’ve been given?<br>”Easy. Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam, he is a mentor of mine of sorts, he is a brilliant cat. Anything he says usually blows my mind. But recently he said something to the effect of ‘You may just need to go with god on this’ I have found this advice to be very helpful. Seems to work every time I put it into play.”</p><p>Please use the link below to give Ari Joshua a follow and show him your support.</p><p><br>Next<br> </p><p>https://www.giftedbalancerecords.com/thestudylounge/ari-joshua-help-on-the-way</p>

And the brilliance of it is in how the sonic journey molds itself to suit your story, your experience, and your fight. The track features the artistic talent and work of John Medeski, Jason Fraticelli, and Billy Martin.<strong> </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/album/dragons-layer" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><strong>Listen Now</strong></a><strong>! </strong></p><p><strong>1. Your latest release, ‘Dragons Layer’ presents a fantasy world with its ambient mystery, avant-garde instrumentals, and explorative storytelling. What did you set out to achieve with the track? And how does the title, ‘Dragons Layer’ help the listener appreciate the theme?</strong></p><p>I went into the session with 25 ideas pre-written and an open mind as to what we would attack as a group. I had a bunch of really conceptual teachers in New York, and I have always gravitated to storytelling and music. Maria Schneider always encouraged us to envision a character and to use music to tell the story. She was like, if you can’t conceptualize your own imagery, then don’t expect the listener to be able to. She was like; It’s less important if the listener’s imagination matches yours, but the listener will be affected by the level of intentions you put in. For you to say the song “presents a fantasy world with ambient mystery, avant-garde instrumentals, and explorative storytelling.” This is a treat to hear in an interview, and it means I did something right. This song has a dark sinister sound to it. I envisioned this as an ‘Adult Swim’ theme song. That would be my dream here on this one.</p><p>I have heard people call chasing a dream, and also drug addiction both referred to as ‘The Dragon’. You hear people say things like slay the dragon, ride the dragon, tame the dragon, and chase the dragon. All my music has a root intention of one form or another, and this one I would say is to imagine your biggest fear or dream or obstacle you are facing right now and imagine it to be a dragon. Take a few deep breaths, and feel that story. Now, go walk up to that dragon in its lair, for me, it’s a mountain and the endless cache of gold and jewels representing the gifts of life, but you make it what you want. The listener chooses their own adventure. Are you going to ride like Daenerys Targaryen, or one of her relatives? Are you going to be the dragon? Are you going to destroy the dragon? Befriend it? Are you going to let it loose on your fears? Or perhaps you just are watching it do its thing totally regardless of your own will, and vision? Maybe it’s not even a dragon, shoot tell me what YOU see. The stage is set, close your eyes, and let’s just take a ride. That’s the same with all my music. You get to ride it and I get to write it, what an absolute honor!</p><p><br><strong>2. The track features the talent of three other musicians alongside you. What roles did each of them play in helping you realize your creative vision?</strong></p><p>Dang, these guys are brilliant, some of the most prolific and relevant artists around. I have been an admirer for as long as I can recall, and all the while I held on to the possibility of this happening. It was a seed planted when I was in high school, and again in my university years. This session contributed to my belief that I am not and have not been crazy all these years. We were able to work in a way as just fellow artists, and on the level. When you get to work with cats like these, you get to sort of absorb through osmosis who they are and what they are about, it’s like being water. They helped me confirm that intuition and instinct have weight in this crazy world. There is a way to land softly into your own place, and it can come after you just keep doing the work.</p><p>As far as each one here is some insight.</p><p>Jason was one of my best mates, and favorite players to play with when I was 19-23 years old. We just met on the level, and we would play trio in rehearsal spaces for hours, sometimes with the light out. We would sometimes turn out the lights and play free, and other times just play tunes, like call tunes and just play for the sake of loving it. He plays with Cyro Baptista and Matisyahu among others, and he was on tour with Cyro playing in Boston. Initially, this was an organ trio session but we spoke (John and I about Bass as an option) and he basically came for two days. It allowed him and Billy and I to play trio before John loaded in, and also for him to be a part of a quartet for half the session. He allowed Medeski to not have to focus on bass, and he helped me pick the songs, like which ones to have bass, and which do not have bass. He had the invitation to stay all weekend, but he withdrew which allowed me to explore the trio. It was perfect! He also made some really amazing points for which I love Jason, and can count on him. For some context. He and I were also on a recording with our former classmate Robert Glasper and my super close friend KJ Sawka (drummer for Pendulum and drum and bass pioneer!). We were catching up and I told him, I had been struggling for a long time to share my art, and there were a lot of dynamics I was navigating in the time we had been apart, and he was really beautiful about it, and he said to me on day one before any notes where even played; “you gotta let that dove fly’. That really set the stage for the week ahead. The dove is a symbol, and one that is all over Woodstock, it was right in my face why I was there before the notes were played, Woodstock where the session was located is like the Dove capital. I brought it up and Billy would refer to it as well throughout the session. Jason also is someone I can trust, it was unexpected to have a bass on the session but it was the perfect simple twist of fate.</p><p>Billy up next. Billy really made an impression on me. I discovered he is currently teaching at The New School where Jason and I were years ago. I was able to connect to Billy around a few things, and I felt really comfortable with him, but also he was able to bring with him his artistic temperament/integrity. This was something I felt (from him) from the get-go. We had a talk on the phone and a few exchanges before we met in NY. One in particular I was in Hawaii practicing on a beach, and we talked about a few things but mainly what the concept was before he engaged or committed. I prepared links to the loops and ideas I had, and we talked about what the session may be. Billy was really clear that all that was great but what he really valued was the moment, and that any amount of prep work seemed to him to be not where his head was at. It was a contrast to John who welcomed charts and demos in advance (I assumed) so he could look at any tricky passages and such. If you listen to or have watched Billy, it will come as no surprise, but he was like, when we get in the room, then you will know what song we need to do, once we commit to that song, we will give that song the attention there, and all the other stuff, my notes or charts where inconsequential for him. This really was so beautiful and set the stage for the flow that came. He looked at me a few times and said a few things that just resonated so deeply, it was a vibe. He was as deep as I anticipated, deep waters, but it was really a treat to enter his space and share a space, a fertile space where anything can happen, and where we could just be there, where there was a concept for both the yin and yang in a way. It was Billy’s idea to split the session with free expressive works, and compositions, and I gladly abided..</p><p>At this point, I want to also recognize Michael Birnbaum, and Chirs Bittner. Those guys are the secret sauce on this collection of works, the stuff still to come, and the 3 things out there now. Michael has run this studio for a while, had a room ready for me after a red-eye flight and a day-long drive up there, and Chris who is the engineer was all set up with mics and amps and sounds when I woke up the next day. I have since traveled back up there, and it’s really those guys, they have a vibe, that’s really familiar and healthy for a working artist up there. The last time I was there I sat with the fireflies, and it was magical, like one of the best nights of my summer.</p><p>Lastly, John. John Medeski is one of those guys, just like Billy, and many great artists, you can just see why they are how they are. John was really professional, like a veteran, I left thinking, I wanna work with this guy again, and you can see why other people would want to work with him. He is authentically who he is and it’s evident in a consistent body of quality work over time. His work has that balance of organic reckless abandon mixed with careful and delicate calculated intent. He brings a depth of language across styles and genres, and a confidence, to where all the mistakes are part of the whole thing. Those guys both brought this stuff to the process. His precision with the rhythm and ability to both hit the mark intentionally and miss it completely in an effort to always find the actual target. He can basically move the target with every step and just like to make art like that. Both those guys were really generous with inviting me into their worlds and sharing the moments. Every idea they had was lit like a yeah, that’s deep, and feels good, even when they didn’t have an idea, there was contribution in the non-contribution. Sometimes you meet folks you look up to that don’t have a space for you or it can take time to fit in. With this group, it was like these are people like I would have played with on a playground as a kid, like maybe we would have eaten lunch together in the cafeteria every once in a while. What I mean is there is a reason why they are how they are, and maybe because we all come from that pre-technological era, or whatever it is but John was really great, he was like a ‘game on’ person.</p><p>Overall, The arc of the session was a vibe, it started getting some sounds, and then with a long improvised jam. That jam can be heard on the release ‘Meeting Of the Minds’, the title was inspired by Burgandy Visoci’s artwork, but it is just us no overdubs, meeting for the first time as a unit, we managed to explore like 10 really cool themes in about 40 minutes or so, I think it set the stage, cause everyone was participating, and conversations where happening, it unplanned but was like one of the best parts of the whole thing, I could have left there and then and been like, yeah this works, that was fun, and it set the whole vibe.</p><p><strong>3. You’re known for your passion for experimentation. What about the unexplored appeals to you and how does it drive you to your sound?</strong></p><p>The whole thing that we are doing is unknown. What are we? Who are we really? Are we bodies experiencing a spiritual space, or are we spirits experiencing a body space? One of the classic problems with society is we are mostly operating on reality based on what we ‘do know’. Making daily decisions based on things that we know. But there is so much more that we don’t know! I mean like on an infinitely bigger scale is what we don’t know but we walk around so concerned about these small mico realities. I think this is what we get to do as artists, we can tap into the bigger picture a bit, and tune into ‘frequencies’. The unexplored is a big part of the work we do. If we only dealt with ideas we already know, there would be very little growth. I think it ultimately has to do with being a person who wants to grow and be a part of evolution, and a conscious being. The sound is an expression of the unknown, and something so much bigger than we are. The truth is often more closely reflected in the unknown than the known I feel. I mean at the very least let’s poke holes in the things that box us in. Those holes sort of let the light in, and the light is like the source. The source is literally unknown, it’s like the known is matter, but ultimately it’s no matter that makes it all happen. The sound is there, that’s where it is what you want to tap into is the best sound you can get to tap in. At that point it has to move you, you have to have experienced it, and then you know what it is where it comes around. Then you have a compass, and the compass for me is saying, it’s what you know that you need to know to get to the place where you can approach the unknown. It’s in that process that you can start the journey.</p><p><strong>4. Your compositions are highly imaginative and better yet, profound. What roles do intuition and intention play in sonic building?</strong></p><p>Well, I put in my time early on. I mean from 7th grade I started to invest time and energy into this. I did my math homework in my science class, and my science homework in my math class. When I got home from school I didn’t have as much homework and I put on records and studied. My intention was never to play fast or whatever, I wanted to access the feelings. I wanted to walk a mile in the music I loved shoes. In these regards intuition and intention are everything when doing sonic building. You nailed it, you set me up like a pitcher or a quarterback. I invested in the moments I had with the highly imaginative forces that were available to me growing up, and I was fortunate to place myself with mentors, and teachers that reinforced those beliefs. I take what I know, and use it as a launchpad to get into orbit, and then I can explore the unknown as much as possible. My intention is always to experience the moments and to give and share in the art. My intuition is something I am working on trusting and listening to. That’s the primary driving force I would say.</p><p>Thanks for the great questions, you asked the perfect questions, and it was really fun to do this with you!</p><p><br>ari joshua dragon's layer experimental avant garde</p>

<p>Ari Joshua – Dragons Layer<br>indiedockmusicblog<br>October 3, 2023</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/39c380843868f995142d9b267e11f9b28d4e7e7a/original/billy-martin-and-ari-joshua-playing.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>'Dragons Layer' is the latest single from the mind of guitarist and composer Ari Joshua featuring celebrated experimental avant garde musicians John Medeski (keys), Billy Martin (drums) and Jason Fraticelli (bass). The track was recorded in a barn in Woodstock, NY as part of a multi-day recording session.</p>
<p>The new musical composition from Ari Joshua is a real fire-breathing tranquilizer that invites us into the world of cascading sounds, which are fashionable and refined in style. It seems that 'no wave' is making a comeback with his individual approach to each musical opus. </p>
<p>Dragons Layer' is a kind of continuation of the experiment of great musicians who are not afraid to plunge into the unknown, play with harmony, stretch and strengthen it with improvisational moments and the spirit of incredible musical poetry. </p>

<p>This track successfully combines avant-garde and jazz, art rock and сlassical. Successful passages and phrasing under the hands of real masters of their craft in a bunch create an amazing attitude that lingers, ravishes and does not let go. <br><br>Listen to the single 'Dragons Layer' below on Spotify and follow the work of a fantastic contemporary musician Ari Joshua.</p>

<p><font>Venturing into a world where musical genres blend in exquisite harmony, renowned guitarist and composer Ari Joshua presents “Dragons Layer,” the third installment of an epic collaboration that gives voice to legends of the New York avant-garde rock music scene. Embracing boldness and inventiveness, this track unfolds like a winged dragon, tearing apart the veils between grunge, classical and cinematic.</font></p>
<p><font>Immersing listeners in a soundscape imbued with suspenseful intrigue, “Dragons Layer” is a daring tableau where the force of harmony rubs shoulders with a complex and stimulating musical architecture. The combined talents of John Medeski (keyboards), Billy Martin (drums), and Jason Fraticelli (bass) weave a backdrop against which Joshua's distinctive guitar playing stands out. The track unfolds, oscillating between cascading melodies and thoughtful pauses, offering an escapade where imagination is king.</font></p>
<p><font>This tribute to creative audacity was conceived in an old barn near Woodstock, New York, in April 2022, capturing the essence of a place saturated with musical history. The artwork, created by Martin Ontiveros, captures the playful and adventurous spirit of the piece, flirting with humor and fantasy.</font></p>
<p><font>Ari Joshua, as a meticulous creator, surrounded himself with jazz legends Medeski and Martin, and the result is an emotional and musical whirlwind that leaves an indelible mark. According to him, “Imperfections can guide us towards what is real… John and Billy are the masters of vulnerability and I had them in mind when composing Dragon Layer.” The track is intended to be a celebration of Ari's varied influences, incorporating nuances of John Zorn, MMW, and Marc Ribot, while leaving the symbolism of the Dragon open to interpretation.</font></p>
<p><font>In a post-pandemic world, “Dragons Layer” presents itself not only as a major piece, but also as an invitation to explore and rediscover sound spaces, reminding us that audacity and innovation, just like dragons , will always remain eternal in the kingdom of music.</font></p>

In Ari Joshua's capable hands, it becomes a mesmerizing journey through time, memory, and human connection. Reimagining a classic Garcia/Hunter gem, Ari breathes new life into a beloved track with a rendition that's both nostalgic and novel. His inclusion of notable talents like Kimock, Hess, and Ladin creates a blend that captures the heart of the original while introducing a unique, fresh flair.</p><p><br>The collaboration, recorded at the iconic Bunker Studio in Brooklyn, oozes authenticity. There's a tangible sense of camaraderie and shared purpose; the music feels alive, electric. From Joshua's evocative guitar to Ladin's mesmeric keyboards, the song envelops listeners, inviting them to lose themselves in its sprawling musical landscapes.</p><p><br>Moreover, Ari Joshua's dedication to preserving and celebrating the genius of Garcia and Hunter is evident in the thoughtful selection and execution of tracks in his upcoming compilation. But it's not all about nostalgia. Original pieces like "Lights Out" and "Eye Just Called to Soul, I Love You" highlight Joshua's flair for innovation, proving his mettle as a modern music maestro.</p><p><br>This endeavor goes beyond the auditory experience. The narrative that Joshua weaves around his personal connection to the music is touching. His recounting of that serendipitous introduction to "One from the Vault" on a summer camp journey is poignant and relatable. It's a testament to music's transformative power and its ability to leave lasting imprints on our souls.</p><p><br>The forthcoming video, coupled with his other exciting projects such as Kambo Wambo and Dragons Layer, reaffirms Ari's commitment to pushing boundaries while paying homage to the classics.<br><br>In a world grappling with unprecedented challenges, Ari Joshua's altruistic initiative to support the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline underscores the power of music as a force for good. His dedication to helping those in distress is commendable, emphasizing the healing and comforting power of music.</p><p><br>In conclusion, "Help on the Way" is not merely a song. It's an experience, a memory, a beacon of hope. It reminds us of music's incredible power to heal, connect, and inspire. Ari Joshua, with his undeniable talent and compassionate heart, ensures that this message resonates loud and clear. We eagerly await the treasures his upcoming compilation will unveil.</p><p> </p><p>LINKS</p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.arijoshua.com">https://www.arijoshua.com</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/">https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic">https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C9Z1YhnRr08CKRSZ7nEuV">https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C9Z1YhnRr08CKRSZ7nEuV</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/">https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/">https://www.youtube.com/</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/">https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://soundcloud.com/arijoshua-music">https://soundcloud.com/arijoshua-music</a><br> </p>

At this early stage of the single, it seems that this super-group of artists is just setting up for an epic symphonic odyssey by using more progressive synthesizers, reminding me of 2001: "A Space Odyssey". The trip I was expecting starts almost immediately, with interspersed and colorful riffs that weave in and out of each other effortlessly. The base between the constant bass and the drums is excellent as a support for the more excellent string work that is willing to play day in and day out at any time. The synthetic refinements form a bridge around the 3-minute mark, and they're always welcome too, as the roles are reversed and the strings are left to support the surreal madness of this side-quest electronica. Help is on the way, so don't fly away or drown in this psychedelic sea where hypnotic patterns reign and miraculous eyes constantly watch you.</span></p><p id="viewer-6tddf"><span>The Pigeon added the new single to his </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1OlWXhH1qdgpylyFEPwhBj" target="_blank" data-hook="linkViewer" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span><u>Psychedelic Gems</u></span></a><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0DzqBuh6ii62WnXDNKE3iC" target="_blank" data-hook="linkViewer" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span><u> </u></span></a><span>playlist on Spotify.

Biro Ramoniko of MusicForAll's Review of "Dragon's Layer"
<p>Original Link: <a class="no-pjax" href="https://musicforall.com.br/ari-joshua-entrega-primorosa-faixa-para-o-halloween/" target="_blank">https://musicforall.com.br/ari-joshua-entrega-primorosa-faixa-para-o-halloween/</a></p><h2><span class="text-big"><font><strong>Ari Joshua delivers exquisite track for Halloween</strong></font></span></h2><img src="https://musicforall.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Ari_Walking-780x470.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /><h1> </h1><h1> </h1><p><font>Guitarist and composer Ari Joshua is back with another phenomenal work. At his side in this endeavor he has John Medeski (keyboards) and Billy Martin (drums) from MMW (Medeski, Martin and Wood) and Jason Fraticelli (bass) from Cyro Baptista, and Matisyahu.</font></p><p><font>His new song is called “Dragons Layer” and sees the artist once again surpassing himself in his creative concept. Remembering that Joshua always focuses on instrumental music, but avoids the basics, and always seeks a sound that can, in addition to adding, entertain the listener.</font></p><p><font>Ari Joshua definitely has no intention of highlighting one instrument or another, which is why his compositions end up sounding all musical, and this is a great asset that he enjoys. The new song mixes rock with classical music in a well-balanced way, with the groove and the piano giving a tone of horror to its context, which explains its homage to the upcoming Halloween.</font></p><p><font>With precise guitars, an incessant and slightly broken kitchen, as well as precious keys, “Dragons Layer” is a composition that becomes more interesting with each listen. Another masterpiece from Joshua.</font></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1ZkQ0PxRla2r2YylmNS8lQ"><font>https://open.spotify.com/track/1ZkQ0PxRla2r2YylmNS8lQ</font></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.arijoshua.com/"><font>https://www.arijoshua.com/</font></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/"><font>https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/</font></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic"><font>https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic</font></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C9Z1YhnRr08CKRSZ7nEuV"><font>https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C9Z1YhnRr08CKRSZ7nEuV</font></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/"><font>https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/</font></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/"><font>https://www.youtube.com/</font></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/"><font>https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/</font></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://soundcloud.com/arijoshua-music"><font>https://soundcloud.com/arijoshua-music</font></a></p><div class="author-avatar" style='-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(39, 41, 45);border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:block;float:left;font-family:-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:0;list-style:none;margin:0px;orphans:2;outline:none;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;'><a class="no-pjax" href="https://musicforall.com.br/author/vitor/"><img src="https://musicforall.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/WhatsApp-Image-2022-09-09-at-17.19.47.jpeg" class="size_s justify_inline border_" alt="Biro Ramoniko" height="180" width="144" /></a></div><div class="author-info" style='-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(39, 41, 45);border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;list-style:none;margin:0px;orphans:2;outline:none;overflow:hidden;padding:0px 0px 0px 20px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;'><h3><a class="no-pjax" href="https://musicforall.com.br/author/vitor/"><font><strong>Biro Ramoniko</strong></font></a></h3></div>

The track was recorded in a barn in Woodstock, NY as part of a multi-day recording session.</p><p>The new musical composition from Ari Joshua is a real fire-breathing tranquilizer that invites us into the world of cascading sounds, which are fashionable and refined in style. It seems that 'no wave' is making a comeback with his individual approach to each musical opus. </p><p><br>'Dragons Layer' is a kind of continuation of the experiment of great musicians who are not afraid to plunge into the unknown, play with harmony, stretch and strengthen it with improvisational moments and the spirit of incredible musical poetry. </p><p><br>This track successfully combines avant-garde and jazz, art rock and сlassical. Successful passages and phrasing under the hands of real masters of their craft in a bunch create an amazing attitude that lingers, ravishes and does not let go. </p><p><br>Listen to the single 'Dragons Layer' below on Spotify and follow the work of a fantastic contemporary musician Ari Joshua.</p><p> </p>

We are glad to have this conversation with you. Your cover of Grateful Dead’s “Help on the Way” is outstanding! But if a listener is just getting to know you, which original song would you suggest for them from your diverse discography?</li></ul><p>Wow. I mean I have like over 100 out there, so I am not sure where to begin. There is a playlist on Spotify where you can find a lot of choices. I would say like this: If you are into Rock n Roll check out Big High, maybe go check out a song like Angel Devil. If you are into jazz check out Slippery Slope from my quartet. If you like Organ jazz maybe go for Let’s Do It Right Now with my heroes, Billy Martin, and John Medeski. If you like free jazz check out Meeting of the Minds. For the early Phish influenced vibes, check out Home by Space Owl, and or the Milly and Fee tributes. I double dog dare anyone to listen to the whole catalog. I think it would be a trip for someone to discover my music and really dive deep. If anyone can take a quiz with me about the songs and pass the quiz I would offer a free month of lessons.</p><img src="https://www.rockeramagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ariandyjohn-scaled-e1696086512698.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /><ul><li>Back to the magical cover. The essence of The Grateful Dead’s original is there, yet you made the song sound your own. How did you manage to strike that balance between keeping the song’s nostalgic flair and, at the same time, making it sonically authentic?</li></ul><p>This seems like it’s hard for a lot of artists to do. I really hear so many people out there emulating the sounds and the style, but for me it’s not a challenge to both pay respect to it and to do it my own way. I loved studying the masters all through high school and college, but now I find it hard to not stay true to who I am. I am a living breathing new person, I really can’t help but be authentic, and to live in that magical middle ground.</p><ul><li>The cover made the song sound like a musical odyssey with a psychedelic atmosphere and captivating singing and playing. Could you go through the composition and walk us through the process, from what sparked the idea to its finalization?</li></ul><p>Thanks for that, I mean it’s clear you checked out the track and that’s great. I hope more people find it and check it out. The track starts with an ambient intro, and dive into the vocals in a way I haven’t explored enough. The vocals have a few layers deep of harmonies. The solos on this one are the original solos from the studio. The process was to track 1-2 takes of each song, and pick the best one, and work on overdubs and production from there. I just book time with engineers I trust and like and I start to just plug away, and I keep plugging away till it seems like it’s time to share it. Rarely do songs ‘feel’ done for me. I am trying to learn more about that process though because at this rate I may die well before I can share even half of my music. I also need to get it all out there so I can make new stuff. There is no one at fault but me, but I have had a struggle over the last 15 years or even more to come to terms with the industry and how it is. I am tangenting a little, the music and the song is one thing, and the version you hear is really based a lot on managing time, and letting the flow take over.</p><ul><li>All of the instruments are marvelous, but the guitar work stands out. What made you pick up a guitar in the first place? Can you tell us more about your journey to becoming the master guitarist you are now?</li></ul><p>Thanks for the nice words. I grew up with a great record collection. I took piano lessons, but really wanted a guitar. My neighbor Barry, he lived 2 blocks north of my house and it was an easy walk up there. He bought me my first guitar. It was called ‘The Terminator’ and it was ordered from the back of a magazine. It had a built-in speaker which really distorted nicely if cranked, and I began learning The Star Spangled Banner right away. I wanted to be like Michael Jordan till I was like 12, at which point I realized I probably was not going to be a basketball player in the NBA. But music made so much sense to me, it was like deja vu. I just knew I could play, and I could do it on a high level. I had the emotional side tapped in. Once I got going I just had to gain access to be able to express the stuff that was inside of me. I started with blues, so I had a good start. Eventually Jazz presented itself, and I fell in love with the potentiality of it. There is a quantum level process with Jazz that involves rhythm and harmony and it begs for a strong connection to the spirit and the soul. I played for hours every day. 5-12 hours easy.</p><img src="https://www.rockeramagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Help_on_the_Way_5mb-1009x1024.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /><ul><li>John Kimock, Andy Hess, and Eden Ladin, along with you, form quite a squad! How did you all come together and harmonize naturally like this?</li></ul><p>Well John and I were looking to hang and make some music. He recommended Hess as he and his father Steve had both worked with him. Hess is now one of my favorite bass players, he was really chill and fun to work with. I had a few talks with Andy about the plans, and once we had a few dates I just needed a studio. When I was at The New School I had a few friends that were opening a studio in NY called Bunker Studios. I reached out to them and they had space for us, so as soon as it was a go, I was looking for some keys as well. Eden was at The Village Vanguard and Kurt Rosenwinkel was playing. Originally I was gonna do a straight ahead session with another Bassist by the name of Alex Claffy. Claffy and I were going over line ups and Eden came up. It became clear that he was also the choice for this when I heard his music. I fell in love with his feel, and his sound. I could tell he was not afraid to try new stuff out as well. The chemistry was there from the first note.</p><ul><li>You are a gifted, witty artist, and you had skilled musicians to help produce such a coherent output. However, sometimes it’s challenging to make a cover. Were there any challenging aspects during the writing and recording process?</li></ul><p>No, making a cover work was not at all an issue for me. I had a mix of originals and some ideas for covers, but the priority was getting in a room together and getting to work together. I know John is touring with Mike Gordon and Oteil Burbridge, his dad also plays a lot of this music so I knew he would tap in nicely. We tried a few tricky songs of mine, but a lot of my songs are actually pretty complex, picking a few covers was a nice way to break the ice.</p><ul><li>Music is surely a form of help. From your point of view, how can music be the “help on the way” for someone who’s having a rough time?</li></ul><p>I am really interested in the power of music. Music education is in my opinion one of the most important jobs anyone can do. Music gives kids and adults the tools to tap into a state of being that is incredibly beneficial and helpful for well being. There is no doubt about it. Music is the doctor. If anyone reading has to even second guess that, I question if they are really in tune with reality as I see it. Music saves lives. Music allows a place for pain and sorrow and grief and frustration to go that is also non-violent in nature. It also gives a place for artists to channel healing vibes and share them with others. I think every human should expose themselves to high quality live music every week.</p><ul><li>This is not the only Grateful Dead cover you have made; obviously, you’re a solid fan of the iconic rock band. Can you tell us how they’ve influenced you as a musician?</li></ul><p>Well, I saw them in 94 and 95, there was a lot of just incredible music going on at the time. Before I heard the Dead I was into Hendrix, and Jazz, and Zappa, and all sorts of stuff. Phish was also on the radar. The Dead represent a whole movement, and an era in a way few other things in this world do so universally. Deadheads are like the coolest fans to have. So if you are building a dream and a career, to me it makes sense you would try to soak up and align yourself with as much of that good mojo as possible. I have been influenced by a lot of great art. There is a lot more to this, some of it really personal as well, so I hope to share more in a blog, or a biography someday. Meanwhile I will leave it at that. The magic, the psychedelic aspect, and the legacy of great material is a bit part of it though.</p><ul><li>Would you tell us about your other influences?</li></ul><p>I get asked that a lot. There are no shortages of other interviews out there where you can find a lot of that information. In short, influences on my art are like breaths of air in the atmosphere. I mean it’s as vast as all the animals in the kingdom and all the stories ever told. I have a pretty good compass for the real deal, good stuff that comes from the heart and from a strong place. There is an underlying thread. I should teach a class or a series of classes on this topic. I love to teach lessons and share this stuff when it is applicable.</p><img src="https://www.rockeramagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/JMK-909x420.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /><ul><li>Based on your discography on Spotify, you released your first album in 2021 and your second one in 2023. Can you tell us how your sound and style evolved throughout the two years?</li></ul><p>Well if you really dig around you will see there are releases going back to 2002. There is my senior thesis which is out there under my quartet name, as well AriSawkaDoria, which was produced by Michael Shrieve, and then there is Big High both the original EP and the Albums. It is a try though I did take a long break, and there are a number of really dynamic reasons for that. I really also hope to break that wall down someday soon, but I started seeing the light around the pandemic, and I was able to process some stuff, and start to release and follow that mission with a strong faith in the process. I haven’t noticed a lot of evolution, but then again I rarely do. I feel like that would be a great question to ask a biographer or a critic rather. If anything it’s just become more of a priority now. It’s just part of what I do and what really gives me meaning. If anything I realize more how important it is to follow my heart of hearts. To really follow all the muse. I think it was Kenny Warner that told us in a lecture that if you take care of your dreams and the music, the universe will take care of you. I guess that is becoming more clear in some ways now.</p><ul><li>We are excited to know if there is a new album on the way.</li></ul><p>There is a new track out tonight called ‘Dragons Layer’. It is out September 29th, 2023. After that there will be a slight pause, and a recovery phase from the last 5 songs released, but there is a plan for more music and eventually a series of full albums.</p><ul><li>Finally, thank you for your time! We would like to learn more about your planes lined up for the rest of 2023.</li></ul><p>I am focused on The Music Factory, my music school, and all the amazing teachers, and students we see week in and week out. I am looking into ways to also grow the label, Music Factory Records. I hope to sign some new acts, and just keep learning about the industry, and keep making art. Nodoubt there will be more music coming soon.</p><p><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);">Thanks Viola so much for the interview, I hope you have a wonderful 2023 and beyond.</span></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C9Z1YhnRr08CKRSZ7nEuV"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);">https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C9Z1YhnRr08CKRSZ7nEuV</span></a></p><p> </p>

Dragons Layer is out now! Featuring Medeski, Martin, & Fraticelli
<p style="text-align:center;" dir="ltr">Dragons Layer is Out Today! <br><iframe style="border-width:0;height:470px;width:350px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=603270823/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" seamless=""><a href="https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/album/dragons-layer">Dragons Layer by Ari Joshua, Billy Martin, John Medeski, Jason Fraticelli</a></iframe> <br><br><span style="color:#3b3f44;">“Dragons Layer” is a fantastical creation, guiding listeners on a journey through a sonic landscape of suspenseful intrigue. As the title suggests, the Dragon Layer stacked with fearless harmony — the angular composition twists through chordal movements as themes develop in ripples and waves. Written and arranged by </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.com/home"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><u>Ari Joshua</u></span></a><span style="color:#3b3f44;">, Dragons Layer has been described as: ‘<i>cinematic, grunge, classica</i>l’. Joshua’s guitar crunch is joined by the wizardry of Billy Martin on the drums, the astonishing John Medeski on keyboard, and the shapeshifting upright bass of Jason Fraticelli (Cyro Baptista, Matisyahu). As the song brings the journey home, cascading melodies flutter, dissipate and fade away into the realms of imagination.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#3b3f44;">Artwork by Martin Ontiveros captures the playful spirit of the piece, at once both comedy and adventure. Dragon Layer was recorded in an old barn on a farm near Woodstock, New York, as part of a multi-day recording session in April 2022.</span> <br><br><span style="color:#3b3f44;">“Imperfections can lead us in giant steps toward what's real, some times that’s what makes an artist's greatest art. John and Billy are the masters of being vulnerable and just stepping out into the unknown, and I composed Dragon Layer with them in mind. I listened to a bunch of early John Zorn, MMW, and Marc Ribot, mixed that with a bit of Amon Tobin vibes, and then that feeling of winding up this little jack in the box musical toy I have in my studio. The Dragon can have different meanings to different people at different times, I’d rather just leave it open, but this song is really something that just came out in a single sitting."</span> <br> </p><p dir="ltr"><strong>From Live For Live Music: </strong> <br>Conjured during a two-day session at <strong>Applehead Recording</strong> studio in Woodstock, NY, “Dragons Layer” embodies the ferocity of MMW, with layers of mellotron strings and psychedelic effects that elevate the track to a grandiose scale, all infused with Joshua’s voice as both a guitarist and composer. The song begins like a symphony, with an exposition of the piece’s haunting, classical-inspired main theme, followed by the unmistakable sound of Billy Martin’s swinging drum groove. Despite its sophisticated orchestral influence, the track bursts with fierce energy throughout most of its five-minute runtime, relenting only in the last minute before dissolving into disarray. It stands in stark contrast to the more laid back and jazzy “Let’s Do It Right Now”, which was recorded in the same session and released in May.</p><p>“Imperfections can lead us in giant steps toward what’s real, some times that’s what makes an artist’s greatest art,” Joshua said. “John and Billy are the masters of being vulnerable and just stepping out into the unknown, and I composed ‘Dragons Layer’ with them in mind.

Alberto Massaro of Plastic Magazine's Review of "Nun Kommt es Werder"

But now, Ari Joshua is ready to unveil a treasure trove of original recordings that showcase his genius in composition and virtuosity as a musician.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>His latest offering, “Nun Kommt es Werder,” is a superb demonstration of Ari’s profound talents. Leading the Ari Joshua Quartet, this mesmerising single is a slow-burning jazz odyssey that spans over seven minutes, taking the listener on a journey through the depths of musical exploration.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>The track commences with a delicate piano-led intro, setting the stage for what unfolds as a sensational display of musicianship. The quartet eases into the composition, allowing space for each instrument to breathe and shine. The piano takes the lead, its notes cascading like a gentle stream, guiding the listener into the heart of the music.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>As the composition unfolds, Ari Joshua’s guitar work enters, painting vivid sonic landscapes with each carefully crafted note. There’s an air of emotive contemplation in his playing, a deep resonance that goes above and beyond mere technical proficiency. Ari’s guitar becomes a vessel through which he expresses a wide range of emotions, and it’s clear that he communicates from a place of profound authenticity.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>The quartet maintains a gentle tapping drumbeat and soft bass plucks that provide a rhythmic underpinning to the evolving soundscape. The interplay between the instruments is precise, a showcase of the musicians’ chemistry and Ari’s compositional panache. But it’s the atmospheric guitar leads towards the latter part of the track that truly captivates. Ari Joshua’s fingers dance across the fretboard, conjuring hauntingly beautiful melodies that seem to hang in the air, suspended in time. Each note is deliberate and meaningful, carrying a sense of deep reflection.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>“Nun Kommt es Werder” is a superb jazz ballad that exemplifies Ari Joshua’s command of the guitar. His musical contributions span various genres, but it’s in the sphere of jazz that his intimate style truly shines. With this new single, the Ari Joshua Quartet crafts a musical journey that offers not only Ari Joshua’s remarkable talents but also the enduring beauty of the genre itself.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Listen to Nun Kommt es Werder below</strong></span></p><p> </p><div class="inner" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);border-width:0px;color:rgb(102, 102, 102);float:left;font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:50px auto auto;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;widows:2;width:1305px;word-spacing:0px;"><div><div><div><div><div><div class="ads_wrapper" style="border-width:0px;clear:both;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:10px 0px 20px;padding:0px;text-align:center;vertical-align:baseline;" id="pp_ads_single_after_content"><div class="black" style="background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250);border-radius:5px;border:1px solid rgb(240, 240, 240);font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;padding:3px;position:relative !important;vertical-align:baseline;"><div class="owl-carousel sa_owl_theme owl-pagination-true autohide-arrows owl-loaded" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;border-width:0px;display:block;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin-bottom:22px !important;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-top:0px;padding:0px;position:relative;vertical-align:baseline;visibility:visible;width:905.5px;z-index:1;" id="sample_slider" data-slider-id="sample_slider"><div class="owl-stage-outer" style="border-width:0px;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;overflow:hidden;padding:0px;position:relative;transform:translate3d(0px, 0px, 0px);vertical-align:baseline;width:905.5px;"><div class="owl-stage" style="border-width:0px;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;position:relative;touch-action:manipulation;transform:translate3d(-4527px, 0px, 0px);transition:all 0.5s ease 0s;vertical-align:baseline;width:7924px;">

Kamil Bobin of The Musical Road's Review of Kambo Wambo

After isolating safely, they met up at a recording studio run by engineer Ben Collette called Tank Recording and produced the first batch of songs to be released to the public.</p><p style="text-align:center;">"Kambo Wambo" by RAAR Trio is a mesmerizing musical voyage that delves into the realm of psychedelic plant medicine, taking listeners on an otherworldly journey where the boundaries of perception blur and the sounds of a cosmic symphony unfold. This track is a true testament to the power of music to transcend the ordinary and transport us to a place where the ethereal meets the earthly.</p><p style="text-align:center;">At the heart of "Kambo Wambo" lies the Afrobeat style, which serves as the vessel for this extraordinary sonic expedition. The fusion of Afrobeat elements with the themes of psychedelic exploration is a masterful choice, as it infuses the track with a pulsating rhythm that feels both ancient and futuristic. The result is a musical experience that is both grounding and transcendent, much like the plant medicine journeys it seeks to reflect.</p><p style="text-align:center;">From the moment the track begins, the listener is enveloped in a rich tapestry of sound. The intricate percussion work sets the stage for what's to come, and as the layers of instruments build, a sense of anticipation and excitement grows. The melodies in "Kambo Wambo" seem to reach towards the sky, invoking a sense of cosmic connection and unity with the universe. The use of traditional instruments and rhythms adds depth and authenticity to the composition, grounding it in the essences of ancient traditions.</p><p style="text-align:center;">The musicianship displayed in "Kambo Wambo" is truly exceptional. The RAAR Trio's command over their instruments is evident, and their ability to create a sonic landscape that mirrors the transformative experiences of plant medicine journeys is nothing short of remarkable. The interplay between the various instruments is seamless, creating a sense of harmony and unity that mirrors the themes of the track itself.</p><p style="text-align:center;">Throughout its duration, "Kambo Wambo" maintains a hypnotic and trance-inducing quality. It invites the listener to close their eyes, surrender to the music, and embark on a personal journey of self-discovery and reflection. The track's ebb and flow, its moments of intensity and serenity, mimic the ebbs and flows of consciousness that one might encounter in the midst of a psychedelic experience.</p><p style="text-align:center;">In conclusion, "Kambo Wambo" by RAAR Trio is a musical masterpiece that brilliantly captures the essence of a psychedelic plant medicine journey. Its fusion of Afrobeat styles with ancient rhythms and cosmic melodies creates a sonic landscape that transcends time and space. This track is an invitation to explore the depths of consciousness and embark on a transformative musical odyssey. It is a testament to the power of music to mirror the mysteries of the mind and the cosmos, and it is a must-listen for anyone seeking a profound and transcendent musical experience.</p>

The track represents the uncut version of a forthcoming release, “inspired by Amazonian frog medicine.”</p><p>Guitarist Ari Joshua, drummer Russ Lawton, and keyboardist Ray Paczkowski comprise this talented trio, whose audible interpretation of psychedelic plant medicine proves riveting. Joshua’s initial guitar work casts a suave spell, joined quickly by Afrobeat-inspired percussive pulses and rock-laden invigoration alike. Paczkowski’s keyboard flashes intertwine thereafter with seamless precision. The trio’s chemistry is evident in the first minute, and doesn’t let up in the 18 minutes that follow.</p><p>Additional guitar lines emerge past the two-minute mark, with a particularly debonair soaring. The guitars and keys intertwine with enthrallment as the 11th minute approaches, kickstarting a satiating second half that concludes with an abrupt tonal warmness, lingering into the night. The extended cut of “Kambo Wambo” is wholly indicative of this trio’s abundance of talent.</p><p>—</p><p>This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Best of September 2023’ Spotify playlist.</p><p>We discovered this release via MusoSoup, as part of the artist’s promotional campaign.</p><p> </p>

An ancient and arcane magic that transcends the terms of reason and creates secret alchemies between the various elements of nature. The sensations and impressions that music gives us are a universal language that makes us all the same. We are all sensitive to those emotional appeals that music manages to ignite in us. In this way we are shaken from head to toe by the powerful waves of energy emanating from those vibrations.</p><p>The opening words of this article were inspired by listening to the latest song by Ari Joshua and his RAAR trio. The piece is called Kambo Wanbo (Jam Version) , about twenty minutes of improvisation in which we can once again savor the talent of this ensemble of musicians. The lineup features Ari Joshua on guitar, Russell Lawton on drums and Raymond Paczkowski on keyboards. The source of inspiration for this Afrobeat song is the medicine of sacred plants.</p><p> </p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/5962b1b9d99177a759aaf98e640205cef97b2fb5/original/ray-ari-and-russ-raar-2022.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p><br>A guitar theme with a fascinating mystical taste opens the piece between delays and reverbs. We hear Ari Joshua manually increase the volume of the guitar as the elements of percussion begin to intervene to light the fuse.</p><p>Slowly the rhythm flows into a funky accompaniment with a very intense groove to which keyboard and bass are added. The sound of the piece is incredible and the strong bass gives enormous depth to the environment. There is a very strong sense of dynamics that drags the listener into the center of a psychedelic and imaginative sonic vortex.</p><p>The first solo we hear is by the guitar which is produced in phrases performed with immense transport. We love the Ari Joshua sound, its slight distortion is hypnotic and the choice of notes showcases the player's talent and taste. We often listen to the main theme that reappears with the aim of launching a new phase of the musical discourse.</p><p><br>There are several sections in the composition that are repeated and in which all the instruments involved are given the floor from time to time. The tribal rhythm that dominates the track is pressing and varied, if not frenetic: there is not a moment of boredom or stasis, the whole piece is in continuous movement. We have the impression of witnessing a tribal ritual of devotion designed to curry favor with the forces of nature.</p><p>On the introductory suggestions dozens of phrases are woven which are inspired by that initial melodic cell and then develop in all possible directions. About halfway through the performance it is the turn of the organ that lavishes phrasing and chords that blend perfectly with the rich texture of the piece.</p><p>Between one solo and another we listen to preparatory sections in which the organization chart of the narration is reorganized. Now it's time for the bass. All the other tools decrease in intensity to make his intervention emerge more clearly. Slowly the sound returns to full volume and the jam continues always dragged by the virtuous drums that season the lively progress of the piece with accents and pauses.</p><p>The piece ends with the conclusion of his last sound cycle leaving the listener fascinated and stunned. This song is yet another confirmation of the talent of this trio of musicians who are always able to offer us amazing performances.</p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="0NmdsshXevw" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0NmdsshXevw?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div>

<h2>Ari Joshua – “Help on the Way”</h2><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="oI2MrxYGENI" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oI2MrxYGENI?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p>It’s a difficult task to do the Grateful Dead justice with cover songs. After all, the legendary rockers have already put a variety of spins on their tracks via unforgettable live performances, seizing upon their improvisational talents and close-knit chemistry. Still, special things can happen when a talented cast of musicians — who share a reverence for the Dead — get together and craft from the heart, a new interpretation of a Grateful Dead classic.</p>
<p>In this case, a talented arsenal of musicians tackle “Help on the Way,” one part of the Dead’s fan-favorite three-song suite. The Grateful Dead pursued a jazz fusion inspiration across the release, and this cover version captures that mellow sophistication with precision. Joining <strong>Ari Joshua</strong> is drummer John Kimock, bassist Andy Hess, and keyboardist Eden Ladin. This is another success from this lineup, marking their fourth song together — following “<a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.obscuresound.com/2023/07/ari-joshua-an-all-star-lineup-eyes-of-the-world/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Eyes of the World</u></a>,” “Lights Out,” and “Eye Just Called to Soul, I Love You.”</p>
<p>From the opening’s gentle guitar trickling and suave backing organs, to the twinkling keys rounding the four-minute turn and adding a spacey edge, this cast’s take of “Help on the Way” is filled with a heady soundscape that wholly captures why the Grateful Dead has attained such a cult following with their grooving, atmospheric vein of rock.</p>

Led by the masterful guitar work of Ari Joshua, the trio, including drummer Russ Lawton and keyboardist Ray Paczkowski, delivers a melodic and polyrhythmic masterpiece that resonates with the rich traditions of Afrobeat and West African groove music. The listener is transported into a world of intricate rhythms and entrancing melodies. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, as they weave a dreamy tapestry that’s both hypnotic and invigorating. Ari Joshua’s guitar prowess takes center stage, effortlessly blending melodic phrasings with moments of fiery improvisation. Clocking in at an ambitious 19 minutes and 18 seconds, the extended duration of the track allows the trio to fully delve into their creative flow. As the music unfolds, it’s impossible not to get lost in the myriad of textures and musical conversations that emerge. The polyrhythmic interplay between Lawton’s drums and Paczkowski’s keyboards adds layers of depth, creating a dynamic foundation that keeps the momentum alive throughout the journey. The influence of the 1970s era of Carlos Santana is unmistakable, as the track’s free jazz and psychedelic rock elements evoke memories of Santana’s groundbreaking fusion of Latin, rock, and jazz. The trio’s ability to seamlessly blend these genres while maintaining a unique identity is a testament to their musical vision and skill. Listening to the extended version of “Kambo Wambo” feels like stepping into a scene from a cinematic US film. The music carries a sense of narrative, guiding the listener through a sonic landscape that’s both evocative and transformative. Each twist and turn in the composition keeps you engaged, eagerly anticipating what comes next.</p><p><iframe style='-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);border-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(74, 74, 74);font-family:Roboto, -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;height:120px;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;width:849px;word-spacing:0px;' src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/track=1310554530/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless=""></iframe><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.arijoshua.com/"><u>https://www.arijoshua.com/</u></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/"><u>https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/</u></a></p>

From Joshua's evocative guitar to Ladin's mesmeric keyboards, the song envelops listeners, inviting them to lose themselves in its sprawling musical landscapes.</span><br><span style="color:rgb(var(--post-titleColor,var(--wix-color-5)));">Moreover, Ari Joshua's dedication to preserving and celebrating the genius of Garcia and Hunter is evident in the thoughtful selection and execution of tracks in his upcoming compilation. But it's not all about nostalgia. Original pieces like "Lights Out" and "Eye Just Called to Soul, I Love You" highlight Joshua's flair for innovation, proving his mettle as a modern music maestro.</span><br><span style="color:rgb(var(--post-titleColor,var(--wix-color-5)));">This endeavor goes beyond the auditory experience. The narrative that Joshua weaves around his personal connection to the music is touching. His recounting of that serendipitous introduction to "One from the Vault" on a summer camp journey is poignant and relatable. It's a testament to music's transformative power and its ability to leave lasting imprints on our souls.</span><br><span style="color:rgb(var(--post-titleColor,var(--wix-color-5)));">The forthcoming video, coupled with his other exciting projects such as Kambo Wambo and Dragons Layer, reaffirms Ari's commitment to pushing boundaries while paying homage to the classics.</span></p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c3a587_5bfd230c4cac42098eb92c39b8529bb0~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_740,h_342,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/c3a587_5bfd230c4cac42098eb92c39b8529bb0~mv2.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /><p id="viewer-c94d4"><span>In a world grappling with unprecedented challenges, Ari Joshua's altruistic initiative to support the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline underscores the power of music as a force for good.

Reviews Rock·- August 20, 2023<br><strong>Ari Joshua’s Reimagination of “Help On the Way” is a Psychedelic Dreamscape</strong><br><br>Ari Joshua’s spin on the legendary Grateful Dead classic, “Help On the Way,” is like taking a familiar road and suddenly discovering a hidden path leading to a whole new universe. The way he intentionally sprinkles in those psychedelic flavours in the song is where it gets a different yet delightful twist from the original.<br><br>Ari Joshua’s guitar in “Help On The Way” feels like he’s crafting a tale with each strum, transporting you to your own personal moments of nostalgia and reflection. The entire cover with its exquisite production, sounds like a musical daydream that whisks you away. Suddenly, you’re just floating in a sea of sound, surfing on waves of melody and emotion.</wbr></wbr></wbr></wbr></p><p>The guitar solo deserves a special mention. It’s where the music goes beyond what you hear and starts painting pictures you can practically touch. The skillful playing by Joshua, the guitar’s rich timbre, and the rhythmic cohesion, all feels both stunning and vividly real. John Morgan Kimock, the rhythm maestro, ties the song together with a groove like no other. You can call it a dance floor fiesta, and a cosmic odyssey all at once.</p><p>Ari Joshua has taken “Help On the Way” and embraced it completely, whispering a new life into it. While sounding familiar yet fantastically new, this is an experience you can’t miss. Check out the song here!</p><p> </p><img

It is spruced up with funk rhythms and leaves of psychedelia. Somewhere among this plethora of sonic variables, he unearths a sound that is reminiscent of Carlos Santana, Pink Floyd, Tom Misch, FKJ, and Tame Impala all at once. </span></p><p><span>This vast stylistic base is crafted in service of refreshing themes and concepts. In his single, ‘Help on the Way’, Ari Joshua gets together with artists, John Morgan Kimock, Andy Hess, and Eden Lading to explore spatial (of or relating to space) facets with distilled palettes of neo-soul, funk, jazz, and blues. </span></p><p><span>The hypnotic frames are fathomed with profound musical insight and improvisation. Along with being conceptual, they are also unique and mellow. With notes of folksy blues layered with blues rock, classical blues, and contemporary blues, the track’s cross-sections celebrate the genre with innovative songwriting and execution.

Ari Joshua Quartet live at Fred Holmes Art Gallery
<p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.com/fan-magnet" data-link-type="url">https://arijoshua.com/fan-magnet</a></p><h3 style="text-align:center;">Ari Joshua Quartet live at Fred Holmes Art Gallery</h3><p style="text-align:center;">ICYMI:<br>(In Case You Missed It)<br><br>$16 Tickets Now Available For Youth 16 and Under<br><br>The Seattle Jazz Community, both players and listeners, consistently look to the next generation of talent and audience to keep this uniquely American genre alive & vital. The Gallery wants to encourage that next generation through yet another source of exposure to the region's Jazz Masters through these shows featuring artists like Thomas Marriott, Alexi Nikolaev, Elena Maque, D'Vonne Lewis, Marina Albero, John Bishop, Jovino Santos Neto, Greta Matassa, Susan Pascal, Dmitri Matheney, and Others.<br><br>So beginning with this performance with ARI JOSHUA and all future shows, a limited number of tickets will be offered for only $16. to those 16 years of age or under. I'm hoping this will also encourage more families to attend with their children as well; regardless of whether that young person is musically inclined or not.<br><br>As the famous star of stage and screen, Tallulah Bankhead once told an aspiring talent, "If you really want to help the American theater,<br>don't be an actress, darling. Be an audience."<br><br><strong>HOT JAZZ AT THE GALLERY</strong><br><strong>Proudly Presents</strong><br><br><strong>THE ARI JOSHUA GROUP</strong><br>Saturday Evening, August 26, 7:00-9:30<br><br>NOW $25 General Admission / $16.50 16 Years of Age & Under.<br>(For Details & Tickets Click Photo Below)<br><br>Featuring Genre-Bending, Composer, and Educator/Founder of THE MUSIC FACTORY, school of music, Jazz Guitar Master, <strong>ARI JOSHUA With JOHN HANSEN (Keys), MICHAEL GLYNN (Bass), and MATT JORGENSEN on Drums</strong>.<br>ARI JOSHUA began relating to the world through music at an early age. Born in South Africa, he grew up in Seattle surrounded by the music of the local synagogue. His grandfather was a rabbi and services were replete with music, which Joshua often partook in. “I would sing and sing and sing.” Music was already being etched into his heart. “I would take the 71 bus down the Ave to Cellophane Square and other record shops,” he recalls. He’d load up on all of the discount records in the 99 cent boxes lining the floors, or outside on the record store stoop. “It was a lot of jazz fusion stuff that no one was into.” He was, though. He was into it.<br><br>Listening to those records and the blues led him, inevitably, to Seattle’s own Jimi Hendrix. He was obsessed; listening to Hendrix albums and doing his best to play along with a guitar given to him by a neighbor up the street. Joshua continued working on playing the blues, not thinking all that much about playing jazz. Then, one day, he wandered down the halls of his high school, bike and helmet in hand, when he heard some beautiful music emanating from one of the classrooms. He entered, bewildered and amazed. “What IS this?!” he asked. It was the Roosevelt High School Jazz Band. “It changed my life.” Playing Basie and Ellington under the direction of some of the greatest music teachers Seattle had to offer, he bloomed as a musician. “It was off to the races for me,” he says. It would be a life dedicated to music.<br><br>After receiving a scholarship, Joshua moved to New York to study at the New School and the Mason Gross School of the Arts, an arts conservatory at Rutgers University. He learned just as much about playing music as he did about how best to teach it. Jazz, he feels, is a language. “If you can unlock it, you can bring it into any kind of music.” “I’ve never had a job,” he says, “except in the music industry my entire life.” Joshua began giving private lessons as a teenager at Roosevelt High School. Taking on students would later help finance his way through college. “I’ve taught thousands of music lessons to people of all ages, styles, and skill levels.”<br><br>“I want music to expand as far as it can possibly go.” From here to Krypton, Joshua is bound to make that happen.

Originating from Cape Town, South Africa, and raised in Seattle, WA, Ari's deep connection to music became apparent from a young age. In his rendition of "Help on the Way," Ari Joshua delves into the psychedelic realm, unveiling an exceptional interpretation of the Garcia/Hunter classic. This rendition showcases an ensemble of celestial musicians, including drummer John Kimock, bassist Andy Hess, and keyboardist Eden Ladin, all under Ari Joshua's leadership as vocalist, guitarist, and producer. The song pays homage to the Grateful Dead in a distinctive and original manner. Notably, the musicians involved, such as John, who has played with O'tiel Burbridge of Dead and Co, and Mike Gordon from Phish, deserve commendation and praise.<br>"Help on the Way" conveys a potent message of hope and assistance. It serves as a musical lifeline, a reminder that even during life's most daunting moments, support is within reach. The harmonious interplay of lyrics and melody fosters a sense of optimism and resilience, extending solace and motivation to the listener. The song's composition is thoughtfully structured to build gradually, reflecting the concept that help is on its way. This progressive development generates anticipation and a profound sense of relief, evoking powerful emotions. It stands as a musical reminder that we are never alone in our struggles, and that help, whether from our social circle, family, or our own inner strength, is always accessible. Ultimately, "Help on the Way" is a comforting and reassuring musical piece that resonates deeply with many, offering a source of solace and fortitude during times of need.</p><div class="QHjDE rzoRKE" style='-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);border-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(30, 32, 37);font-family:"times new roman", times, serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:15px 0px;orphans:2;outline:0px;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;' id="viewer-515dq49"><div class="gO6aa y8JqQg" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;border-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;display:block;margin:0px auto;max-width:100%;outline:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;"><div class="cceIa" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;border-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;height:243px;margin:0px;outline:none;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;" data-hook="galleryViewer" role="none"><div class="pro-gallery" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);backface-visibility:hidden;background-color:transparent;border-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;height:243px;margin:0px;outline:0px;overflow:hidden;padding:0px;position:relative;vertical-align:baseline;width:740px;" id="pro-gallery-515dq49"><div class="" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;border-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;margin:0px;outline:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;" data-key="pro-gallery-inner-container" tabindex="-1"><div class="pro-gallery-parent-container" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;border-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;margin:0px;outline:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;" role="region"><div class="pro-gallery inline-styles ltr " style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);backface-visibility:hidden;background-color:transparent;border-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;direction:ltr;height:243px;margin:0px;outline:0px;overflow:hidden;padding:0px;position:relative;vertical-align:baseline;width:740px;" id="pro-gallery-container-515dq49"><div class="pro-gallery-margin-container" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;border-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;height:243px;margin:0px;outline:0px;overflow:visible;padding:0px;position:relative;vertical-align:baseline;width:740px;" id="pro-gallery-margin-container-515dq49">

</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p>The collaboration of these musicians has yielded a song that is destined to become an anthem for many. It's an inspirational track that prompts introspection while undeniably urging you to hit the replay button. Some songs transcend mere sound and melody; they are vessels of pure emotion that pour into the ears of their listeners. This is precisely the type of music Ari creates, and his ability to infuse emotion into sound becomes evident with these talented collaborators by his side. His music is crafted with creative finesse, and thus far, it has delved into profound themes. If this description resonates with you, "Help On The Way" might easily become your anthem. The genuine sentiment beneath that statement might strike a profound chord with some of you, imbuing the song with added meaning as you listen.</p><p>Ari will donate a portion of the proceeds to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at https://988lifeline.org/donate. “The title speaks so clearly: Help on the Way. That’s something I wanna do through music, is help. I lost two friends tragically this month, previously I lost a romantic partner to depression. I hope that if help is what you need, that you’ll find it soon. ”</p><p>Time and time again, Ari Joshua demonstrates his willingness to collaborate and create music that spans various genres and addresses diverse themes, some of which are lighthearted and others deeply meaningful. Furthermore, he has established authentic connections with fellow musicians, as evidenced by the stellar collaboration on "Help on the Way" alongside Kimock, Hess, and Ladin. This musical ensemble came together at the renowned Bunker Studio in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood.<br>"Help On the Way" stands as the fourth song to emerge from this lineup, following a refreshing reinterpretation of "Eyes of the World" released in July, as well as two original compositions, "Lights Out" and "Eye Just Called to Soul, I Love You." These tracks showcase the innovative spirit for which Joshua is widely recognized. Discovering your new favorite artist is an ongoing journey, and it's a fortunate coincidence that you're here to experience it.<br>Listeners can stream on any platform, supporters can purchase music at Bandcamp and www.arijoshua.com. Ari owns a music school they offer lessons online!

Ari Joshua Interview for 'Kambo Wambo'
<p>Original Link: <a class="no-pjax" href="https://karlismyunkle.com/2023/08/20/to-celebrate-the-release-kambo-wambo-by-the-raar-trio-we-interviewed-visionary-composer-ari-joshua/" target="_blank">https://karlismyunkle.com/2023/08/20/to-celebrate-the-release-kambo-wambo-by-the-raar-trio-we-interviewed-visionary-composer-ari-joshua/</a></p><h2><strong>To celebrate the release Kambo Wambo by the RAAR Trio, we interviewed visionary composer, Ari Joshua</strong></h2><p><strong>When we found out that Ari Joshua had just released an almost twenty minute long opus called Kambo Wambo, it peaked our curiosity and we simply had to know more about the visionary artist who is one of the most active composers in music today.</strong></p><p><strong>We have previously featured a slew of his collaborative releases, and Kambo Wambo is yet another refined and surrealist experience. It features an Afrobeat groove and psychedelic artwork bringing to life the cohesive and expansive nature of Ari Joshua‘s artistry, whilst tapping into his South African heritage.</strong></p><p><strong>For the opus, guitarist Ari teamed up with drummer Russ Lawton, and keyboardist Ray Paczkowski, collectively known as the RAAR Trio, to deliver the polyrhythmic guitar-based piece.</strong></p><p><strong>We learn that Kambo Wambo is “a reflection on psychedelic plant medicine, where the boundaries of perception give way to the sounds of cosmic symphony. In this musical odyssey, the Afrobeat style becomes a vessel for such a journey, reaching melodically towards the sky, rooted in essences of ancient rhythms.”</strong></p><p><strong>As we mentioned earlier, we wanted to learn more about the composer’s mindset, and in turn to celebrate the release of Kambo Wambo, we had the chance to ask Ari Joshua some questions, to which he shared some inspirational depth.</strong></p><img src="https://i2.wp.com/karlismyunkle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Kambo_Mambo_v04_3000x3000_1-scaled.jpg?fit=1020%2C1020&ssl=1" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /><p>Hey Ari, we’ve featured a few of your compositions to date and love the dimensional nature of what you create. Please tell us more about what inspires you sonically?</p><p>Sonically, I studied all my favorite artists and after many hours of that I began to trust my own intuition, and create from the heart. I have had these transcendental moments that kind of point the way. Unfortunately I cannot share what those are like in words. But I can tell you that there is something inspiring me, it gives me real tangible sensations that give me clues. Even when it is not there, I still recall what it was saying. Sometimes I get distracted a bit along the way. I appreciate that you dig the dimensional nature of my music. You know, when one studies music, like really deeply, one finds there are a lot of the laws that govern music that overlap with a lot of the laws of nature and even spirituality. If you really love something though, it finds its way onto the canvas. I strive to connect with anything I can that resembles the source, and to create from the heart. I try to put myself in situations with players that are more experienced than I am. Regardless, the big picture is that the force of energy behind this life we are in is the greatest inspiration. I try to tap into that. The notes, they are all already there. Having said that it’s important to spend time in this world as well, I get inspired by hanging out with family, traveling, sitting on beaches, listening to rivers ramble, and walking in forests. There’s a little kid in my life right now, and that just fills the heart, investing in the youth is really rewarding.</p><p>What do you feel that your purpose in music is?</p><p>My purpose with music is constantly shifting. I think anyone that lives in the pursuit of a dream just learns an incredible amount along the way. It’s always been to echo or to carry on the works of those truly masterful artists from the past. To learn from them, and carry the conversation forward. First it was to witness, then to study, then it was to teach, now it is more about truly being, and being present and learning about life. When you serve a force like music, you kind of bend your knees, and do whatever the music seems to want you to do. I spent 15 years just teaching, and playing, and building a music school for the next generation to have a resource. At a certain point, the purpose has just become being a human who is trying to be better, learning the lessons life is giving, and embracing the challenges instead of trying to run from them. There is alot to that question, the purpose seems to be something that evolves, and shifts. I guess the purpose is to play, to listen, and to be heard, to share.</p><p>How do you manage so many collaborative projects at the same time?</p><p>I have always been good at turning the creative faucet on. Since I was 13 it’s been practicing, writing, and preparing. A collaborative project is my favorite of all the ways to serve the music, I will welcome a good collaborative project any day. I have been collaborating with some folks on putting a garden into our walkway at The Music Factory. You can learn a lot about managing projects from plants. Plants mature at their own pace, a garden evolves over years, it adapts to the seasons, and while you may have an idea of its potential, at some point one must sow the seeds, and tend to the soil. The collaborations are like that. When you collaborate, you have to work within the parameters of the other artists. With plants, certain plants like varied amounts of shade or sun, & different amounts of water, or soil types, but when it works the miracle of nature is just miraculous. I live for the opportunity to manage collaborations. I try to stay open to possibilities, and to have enough material ready so that when a collaboration comes to fruition, I can jump in and be ready to create. When the collaboration is happening you want to be present to let it have its own life. It’s a bit like raising a kid. By the time the release is done and out there, it’s like a 20 year old out in the world. Now its journey begins. Managing projects is about doing a lot of behind the scenes work, and having a lot of patience, knowing when to take a rest, when to put time into certain works, and when to start new ones. A lot of it is intuition.</p><p>What do you consider your musical superpowers?</p><p>My magical super power is the ability to really focus and lose myself in the moment. Tuning into the moment and tapping into the energy of what’s speaking to me. When an idea comes to me, it usually comes as a complete thought. I love it, but I can sort of tell this is different from most people, so I guess it is a super power. I grew up playing chess. I used to enjoy the fact that I could think several moves ahead at a time. With creativity, I can have a concept, it can come in a complete snapshot. If it was to be boiled down to a few words, foresight, instinct, sincerity.</p><p>We love your Grateful Dead covers, what inspires you about the band to reimagine their work?</p><p>I’ve been a deadhead for a long long time. It was a bit easier to jump into Jerry’s shows then some of the material I was aiming for. After trying to sound like John Coltrane, Charlie Christian, Joe Pass, or Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, or John Mcloughlin, Jerry was an easier target. I also saw that playing Dead was more efficient then playing be-bop when it came to making a tribe.</p><p>With The Bunker Sessions, having John Kimock on the session made it a quick decision to track these two songs Help On the Way, and Eyes Of the World. In talking to Bassist Andy Hess and Drummer John Kimock about what material we may track, initially we planned some rehearsal time, but in NY it’s just a jungle in there, but I felt a lot of my originals would need more work to capture. Andy mentioned he would be comfortable with these songs, and John has been playing them since high school as well. If you don’t know them, you should check out all the folks I collaborate with. But John (Kimock), is a part of why I chose to re-imagine these. He plays with Mike Gordon from Phish and Otiel Burbridge from Dead and Co.Those are like dream gigs for me, but I also love John’s own productions and his playing is just incredible, he’s got the magic, I just knew I was gonna work with him, and he was really wonderful to play with. I had a few songs of my own, and we jammed a bunch, but these tunes are a great way to lock in right away. I really want to work with all these cats from the jam scene. I’d love to play with Burbrige and Gordon, and there are alot of great musicians in the Jam scene. I would love to collaborate or tour with a lot of those players.. If they are listening to this, hit me up, and in general if you are looking to collaborate, offer me a plane ticket and some parameters, I am down. Andy Hess, and Eden Ladin also just did it for me on this session – it was a total treat to make this music. </p><p>I write alot, there’s a lot of music we have released via Music Factory Records that is original music. Maybe 95% of the music I put out is my own music. I think up to 20% covers is ok for me if it is in the spirit of connecting. I emulated a lot of great players though, I would rather reimagine than out right copy. I learned a lot from the masters note for note, but I aim to be my own voice when I play. I have taught a lot of people how to emulate the greats. In fact my lessons often consist of asking students what they love, what speaks to them. In my sessions, we listen to stuff they like, and I break it down. If you asked any of my students you would hear that theme as being a common thread. I think just as is the case with all evolution, we have inherited all that has come before. It’s just amazing to think about being alive right now, how much there is to draw from. When I do cover an artist, The Dead is high up on that list. Outside of The Bunker Sessions, I see deadheads as a particular breed of listeners, there’s a healthy intersection between a respect for great musicianship, and a desire to be taken on a journey with the music .There’s a lot of deeper reasons, but it’s like playing a card game everyone knows, when everyone speaks the language, the table is leveled, and you can just play. If you like a certain sport, fans of that sport can watch and enjoy anyone playing it if it’s played well.</p><p>How do you feel about the current climate for music artists?</p><p>On the bright side, it’s relatively easy to get distribution, and it’s relatively easy for those that want to get in on the ground floor. The information you need is all out there and searchable, and there seems to be a changing of the guard starting to come into effect. I see a lot of young artists making a lot of headway and there are opportunities now that were hard to get 10 years ago. There’s a lot to be optimistic about, there is a lot of room to improve things. I really try to stay positive and focus on one thing at a time. I own a music school, which means I have the absolute honor of giving music artists paychecks each month. The whole thing started with me in one room in a building and it just grew organically. What I wish for, I really hope that ALL artists as dedicated as myself, full time hard working artists, could qualify and afford to buy a house and put our families in there and put our kids through college with the support of a fan base, or a better climate, and functioning system. I would love to be able to tell young aspiring artists that as long as they put in a full week’s work, 50 weeks a year, they could have a great life not just by doing something meaningful, but by financial standards as well. All in all though, to be able to wake up with a clear conscience, and contribute something as beautiful as music to the world, that’s invaluable. You are asking me to speak to the climate of the music world, when I compare it to that of say tech workers, service industry workers, and folks with jobs that account for inflation. Aspects of the climate for music artists in some ways is still similar to what it was 30-50 years ago, and while there is a lot of promise and evolution, there is a lot that needs to be re-imagined.. From experience I can tell you a serious musician in 2023 needs to be a CEO and be willing to work for intern pay. On the local level, I am expected to be a promoter, a copywriter, a communications expert, a marketer, a project manager, a mixing engineer, a video editor, a composer, a performer, a publicist, a product developer and more. The labels had these systems in place. I am really grateful there are areas that are increasingly sustainable, teaching for example has been a great equalizer, I know folks that have landed in great places with licensing, & publishing. I can’t get started though, I may never stop, next question.</p><p>What is next for Ari Joshua?</p><p>What is next for me is more music. I want to shift focus into making better use of my time, and doing more of the things I really love about music. I hope to grow my music school, The Music Factory. If you are reading this, consider signing up for music lessons! We have a ton of great teachers available at our location, and we are online for anyone anywhere. We just purchased the building we are in with the help of two people you may know who believe in what we do. I want to give thanks to the community, keep building on that, teaching kids, and improving what we offer them. Always.</p><p>I also will keep growing the label, Music Factory Records and building a catalog. I hope to do more licensing/publishing. I would love to write for adult swim, or netflix, or for an orchestra. I also have some ideas for developing surround sound, & audio visual elements. I hope to also write a book, I have been through so much, so much stuff no one knows about. My life has taught me many lessons, and I aim to help others by sharing my truth. I have about 40 or so songs that need mixing and mastering, there’s a lot of work to do, I am really proud of the work I do. I wanna keep improving the way I communicate and work with others. I wanna be the best I can be. I really hope I can connect with people. I hope I can stay in good health and keep building. I would love to tour, and play in all the different areas of these 50 states. I wanna realize my potential, and share it with others.</p><p>We are honoured to have had such an in depth chat with Ari Joshua, and naturally, we have added Kambo Wambo to our playlist.

I felt a connection to the muses, the angels, & the cosmic forces, all perfectly reflected into poetry and melody. Later, I saw the original band play ‘Help’ with Garcia. It’s a beautiful song. It’s a masterpiece. I am grateful to be able to team up with this incredible cast to share this recording.”</p></blockquote><p>“Help on the Way” is available via Music Factory Records.

On the meditative new track "and now it comes..." with The Ari Joshua Quartet, he takes listeners on a nostalgic seven-minute journey using nothing but the band's adept musicianship.</h4></div>

<p><font>The simple pianos exasperating poignant intimacy in the introduction, delimit a growing and gradual sensory journey, where elements in intimate prognoses are entered, sentencing the level of excellence of this experience! The exasperating feeling guitar assumes its prominence, determining a melodic prism that is absolutely masterful in its intent.</font></p>
<p><font>The dialogues in front of the other instruments are subtly being expanded, bringing that impeccable jazz instrumental magnitude in its conduction! The ethereal atmosphere gives rise to improvisations with that delicious jam-session status, where everything connects before the chemistry that transcends the musicians in question, all of whom are “assuming” in relation to the emanated musical spectrum. We're talking about the most recent single release from the New York group, THE ARI JOSHUA QUARTET, and their brilliant bang “and now it comes…”!</font></p>

<h2>Good Day Noir Family,<br>welcome to Edgar Allan Poets indie music corner. A space dedicated to the best new artists and bands we find around the web. Today’s featured band is <i>Space Owl</i> and their single<strong> Mountain Song</strong>.</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Mountain Song is Space Owl’s Single Out Now</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">I was very intrigued by this musical project.</span></h2>
<h3>Not only because I’ve listened to Ari Joshua’s music in the past but also because I was curious to feel the chemistry with the band. I have to say I was surprised by Space Owl’s sound.</h3>
<h3>As usual the music that rotates in the universe of Ari Joshua is refined and intricate. Collaboration with great musicians has only raised the bar. Psychedelic jazz with attention to every detail.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
<h3>The voice enters only around minute 4.20. It is precisely this compositional freedom that I like about Space Owl.</h3>
<h3>They don’t follow the usual commercial rules of the chorus after a minute, etc. Here the music is king. This band asks you to indulge in the sound without asking too many questions.</h3>
<h3>They want to give you an extrasensory experience and stimulate your inner growth.</h3>
<h3>10 out of 10!</h3>
<h3>
<strong>Mountain Song</strong> is Space Owl’s Single Out Now!</h3>

<h3>Ari Joshua, Bob Lovelace, John Ewing, and David Appelbaum started Space Owl in 2011. The band began playing original compositions around the Pacific. Original material was mostly brought in by guitarist and singer songwriter Ari Joshua, and Bob and John both contributed as well to the band material. Over the years there have been a few keyboardists and drummers in and out of the project. In 2020, Ari started releasing Space Owl music as part of his From the Vault series, and the interest in the music sparked a new interest in the band.</h3>

Drawing us in with an immersive and glistening soundscape with textured percussion, <strong>Space Owl</strong> open <i><strong>Mountain Song</strong></i> with intrigue and instrumental mastery.</p>
<p>The opus expands into a playful and psychedelic, stoner rock energy as the band takes us on an evocative journey filled with ebbs and flows, and exceptional and memorable moments. The composition features bassist Bob Lovelace, drummer John Ewing, and keyboardist David Appelbaum along with guitarist Ari Joshua.</p>
<p><i><strong>Mountain Song</strong></i> feels cinematic and would clearly work perfectly as the soundtrack to a romantic comedy blockbuster. Two thirds of the way though the track, we experience a passionate layered vocal, which taps into optimistic and expansive lyricism, further adding value to the already highly dimensional nature of the track.</p>
<p>Speaking on the release, the creators tell us, “This track was composed after a journey shared between friends to the pinnacle of a treacherous mountain peak, overlooking a valley adorned with glistening lakes, rocks, evergreen trees, and giant boulders.”</p>

<p>They continue, “The music begins as the full moon traverses the starlit sky, a psychedelic sunrise greets the new day. Enchanting sounds lead us through passages of shifting time signatures and key changes, mirroring the creation of majestic mountain ranges.”</p>
<p>We learn that <i><strong>Mountain Song</strong></i> is designed to “capture the essence of timeless moments and lifelong connections formed during this awe-inspiring expedition.”</p>
<p>We appreciate the trip, and have added <i><strong>Mountain Song</strong></i> to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the band’s wider discography including <i><strong>HOME</strong></i>, and <i><strong>I Will Come To You</strong></i>.</p>

I checked out his fabulous release <i><strong>Spooky </strong></i>recently, and felt it was very different to the modern musical norms, which is one of the reasons I loved it so much. Ari covers many different genres within his sound, so there should be something for all our readers to love!</p><p><i>By Jane Howkins</i></p><p><strong>You released a single titled </strong><i><strong>Spooky</strong></i><strong>. What can you tell us about the track?</strong></p><p>One of my all-time favorite saxophone players happens to be one of the musicians on the recording. <strong>Skerik </strong>has a project called <strong>the Sycopaited Taint Septet</strong>. I loved seeing that group so much, and I wanted to pay homage to him through my writing. I also love old scores, I used to frequent a local VHS rental store called <strong>Scarecrow Video</strong>s and ask for referrals to films with dope music. I remember attending a master class with <strong>Wayne Shorter</strong> during my high school or college years, he also emphasised the influence of scores from old movies. I wanted that vibe.</p><p>Movies like <i><strong>Videodrome </strong></i>and <i><strong>Suspiria</strong></i>, known for their music, were a source of inspiration for me. I aimed to focus less on solos and more on capturing the melody and harmony. I also thought about <strong>Maria Schneider</strong>, a teacher of mine – she encouraged us to envision monsters and compose music that reflected their presence in our minds. <i>Spooky </i>was something that came from a stew of all that stuff. <strong>Delvon Lamarr </strong>nailed the bass parts, and drummer<strong> Grant Schroff</strong> also served the vision spot on.</p><p><strong>How has the reception to the song been so far, and where can the song be purchased?</strong></p><p>All my music is best purchased on my <a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.arijoshua.com/"><strong>website</strong></a>, but also you can buy at <a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/"><strong>Bandcamp</strong></a>. <i>Spooky </i>is on the <strong>Color Red Labe</strong>l. I would go there and get it through them if you can, they are doing great stuff and <strong>Eddie </strong>is doing good work there. The reception has been great for all the recent music, for certain better then in past years. <i>Spooky </i>landed on a few<strong> Apple Music</strong> playlists curated by the platform’s editors and it’s helped me reach some new listeners. I have gotten messages from people from all over saying they dig it and also want to place it on a playlist or something. There was a time when I wasn’t sharing my art just based on the fear of it not being covered. It’s been a good show of how courage can take you through shit.</p><p><strong>Do you plan to release any more singles in the near future?</strong></p><p>Yes a lot. Hundreds. I better get to it!</p><p><strong>Are there any plans to release an album or EP anytime soon?</strong></p><p>Yeah, my dream is to get enough supporters and fans/listeners that will buy a full EP, a vinyl and some physical merch. Hopefully someone is reading this and becoming a new potential fan. When the time is right, it will happen.</p><p><strong>The track has an eerie dub sound, fitting the title well. What/who influences you most as an artist? What have you been listening to recently?</strong></p><p>I grew up with a few friends who would create mix tapes on cassettes. I have boxes of mix tapes decorated with art and collages. One friend, <strong>Andrew Oldham</strong>, was a true maestro of dub reggae – also <strong>Mike Day</strong>, my roommate turned me on to the masters;<strong> King Tubby, Lee Perry, The Mad Professor, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Errol Thompson,</strong> cats like that. <strong>Jason Gray </strong>is the mixing mastermind on <i>Spooky</i>, he has a treasure trove of vintage outboard gear. For this track, he manipulated the audio, routing it in various ways, all done outside of the computer without the use of plug-ins. There’s a place for computers, but the sound on everything Jason does is in a big part due to his old super ‘OG’ gear.</p><p>As for my current musical influences, I cast a pretty wide net. It’s like the rings in a great big tree. These rings stretch back to my earliest years as a toddler, and new rings continue to form. Nowadays, my inspiration stems more from non-musical ideas – captivating concepts that arise during conversations or intriguing themes explored in documentaries I watch. Also people I really admire and look up to – I watch how they use their time and words.</p><p><strong>You’re also a business owner! What is your business? How do you fit everything in?</strong></p><p>My business is called The Music Factory, and it’s centered on music education and music lessons. All year round, for over two decades, I have been balancing a few different angles on what’s important to me, it just sort of happened around me. I have been in a lot of bands and projects, but they mostly seem to come and go, and it’s been hard to find a band to stay together, but the business has been solid as a rock. It’s been an anchor and a foundation.</p><p>I prioritise daily walks and incorporate long periods of rest. Before the pandemic, I had a car accident that laid me up. I used to party more and burn the candle on both ends, I got mixed up with some bad scenes and dangerous outlooks at times. Since the pandemic I have been staying home more, conserving energy – either way the business keeps floating nicely, it’s a good cause I suppose.</p><p>It also helps in that I am blessed to have a team of talented bad asses at work who I deeply love and trust. They all have a similar respect for the arts and the music, and their presence makes all the difference. I do really love them, and I feel like they accept the way I am and see things, that’s the real sauce. The financial returns may not be as substantial as those of computer or tech workers, but the mission itself is really beautiful. I used to really feel like I couldn’t do something that wasn’t in line with what I would do even if I had all the money I could need, but I am learning more about how that all works a bit now. I think a business owner should be prepared to sacrifice a lot, but it all works out in the end, as things just fit together over time.</p><p><strong>Do you have anything else exciting coming up this year?</strong></p><p>For this year, the plan is to continue making art and invest time into things that hold meaning for me, and that make the world better in some way. We’re building a walkway garden at the factory that was this week’s focus. Creating a garden has taught me a lot. It requires an initial investment, a dedication of time, a willingness to get your hands dirty and at least a basic understanding of how sun, water and dirt work. I think what is most exciting is approaching things that used to be a huge challenge with more maturity, sobriety and perspective. There is a lot of potential, I am open to opportunities.</p><p><strong>You’re based in Seattle. How is the local music scene faring at the moment?</strong></p><p>There’s things I miss about New York, but one thing I don’t miss is how hard it was to really curate a local scene. It was an international scene. That was a different thing. I think the local scene here has a lot of things for a lot of people. I don’t want to get critical in an interview, as all in all I am grateful for a lot of beautiful people in the scene. There are some pluses and minuses to the way things are in the scene, I guess that’s how it is anywhere. Life is always a mix of stuff.</p><p>One thing I will say is that there is a lot of new wealth that has been coming into the city, there is a lot of greenery and forests and mountains and natural beauty and new folks are coming in from all over the world. I think artists are being tangibly left out of the equation. A lot of folks are moving out of town, and there’s a lot shifting. People are really focused on just making it work. No doubt the talent pool is as good as anywhere on earth, but it’s like anywhere, just more green all year round.</p><p><strong>Do you have any tour dates lined up for the UK?</strong></p><p>Oh wow I wish. Bring me out there, hit us up on our website and fly me out there! I have a lot of family out there. My grandmother was from England. She met my grandfather there and then moved to Cape Town, I even had a British Passport at one point. I loved the northern country, Dartmoor and that area called Devon in the south western part of England. I wanna write songs there!</p><p><strong>Any last words for the fans?</strong></p><p>Music is life, and all life is vibration. There is some profound stuff at work that artists are dealing with and always have for as long as I can tell. I REALLY appreciate some love and support, and I want to express my gratitude in advance to anyone that I resonate with. For you the reader, your life is a gift, and you are enough as you are. For whatever reason you are in the place that you are and if we are connecting, even at a distance, or for a brief moment in time, even that is a miracle. If you are reading this you are part of the big miracle that we are all apart of, and I know you may be struggling, but you are not alone, and it’s a great honor to be in the world with you. You keep on doing what you do, and only wish to make your life a little better. If you resonate with my stuff add me on <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/"><strong>Youtube</strong></a>, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/"><strong>Instagram</strong></a>, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/"><strong>Facebook</strong></a>, or just listen in and know my art is full of love and I strive to come from the source as much as I can. Is that ok to say?</p><p>My last word is to have a blessed day, and to treat people with kindness and to be well! Thanks for the interview and for your interest in <i>Spooky</i>.</p><figure><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper" style="box-sizing:inherit;position:relative;"> </div></figure><p><br> </p>

</div><h1><strong>INTERVIEW: Ari Joshua drops new single</strong></h1><p>In the realm of jazz and improvisation, <strong>Ari Joshua</strong> stands as an exciting musical pioneer, showcasing his diverse musical upbringing and passion for his creative vision. Originally hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, and raised in Seattle, Ari’s deep-rooted connection to music was evident from a young age. With a scholarship to study music on the East Coast, he honed his skills and discovered the power of musical expression.</p><p>Ari Joshua has earned a well-deserved place among the most beloved performers in the music scene. Collaborating with rock ‘n roll legends like Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam, Michel Shreive of Santana, Barrett Martin of Mad Season and Screaming Trees, and REM’s Peter Buck, Ari’s musical journey has been enriched by his interactions with these influential artists.</p><p>However, Ari’s passion for music extends beyond his performances. As the founder of The Music Factory, he has created a platform that’s provided close to 100,000 music lessons, nurturing the next generation of musicians and supporting the community. This commitment to music education highlights Ari’s desire to give back and inspire others to embrace the transformative power of music.</p><p>In his latest single, “Let’s Do It Right Now,” Ari Joshua links up with jazz legends Billy Martin and John Medeski of the renowned improvisational group MMW (Medeski Martin & Wood). Recorded at Applehead Recording, a boutique residential facility situated on a picturesque barn in Woodstock, New York, this release emanates a sense of enchantment. The collaborative efforts of Ari Joshua on guitar, Billy Martin’s rhythmic wizardry on drums, John Medeski’s keyboard virtuosity and Jason Fraticelli’s expertise on upright bass give birth to a sonic masterpiece.</p><p>“Let’s Do It Right Now” bridges the gap between the traditional and the contemporary. Mixing engineer Eric Eagle adds layers of manipulated analogue tape to create a superb blend of sounds, infusing the track with freshness and depth. Crafted as a heartfelt tribute to the late and legendary Elvin Jones, the composition embodies the delicate balance between familiarity and innovation. Every note, rhythm and harmony exemplifies Ari’s intention to honour Jones while pushing the boundaries of musical expression.</p><p>With a duration of over nine minutes, “Let’s Do It Right Now” takes listeners on an instrumental jazz odyssey. Grooving rhythms and soulful funk permeate the track, carried by the exceptional musicianship of Ari Joshua and his collaborators. Each instrument weaves seamlessly together, allowing for captivating solos that showcase the immense talent and creativity of these seasoned jazz virtuosos.</p><p>Ari Joshua’s “Let’s Do It Right Now” is a modern masterpiece, a testament to the power of collaboration and the boundless possibilities of jazz music. It captures the essence of musical expression, evoking emotions and invigorating the imagination of the listener. With this release, Ari Joshua continues to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz and improvisation, leaving audiences eagerly awaiting his next sonic endeavour.</p><p>We caught up with Ari Joshua to find out more about his musical inspirations, his new single “Let’s Do It Right Now” and what he’s got lined up for the future. Check out out interview with Ari Joshua below.</p><p><strong>Hey Ari, how’s things?</strong></p><p><i>Really great. Thanks for asking. Just focusing on the days one moment at a time, trying to navigate this dynamic time we live in. Been learning to enjoy the views along the path and to approach things in a holistic way. This last year I launched a label to share my music through, and my music school The Music Factory is celebrating having purchased the land & building we have been in for many years, so things are good. There is a saturation level happening.</i></p><p><strong>Which artist first made a lasting impression on you?</strong></p><p><i>I grew up in a family that sang a lot, every Friday and Saturday there was singing, but as far as artists when I was 6 or so, Tim Noah, Disney Records, and Tickle Tune Typhoon ruled the airwaves. The first real cats I was moved by though was Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix. First came Jimi then Stevie, then all the great blues cats they grew up on.</i></p><p><strong>What’s your earliest memory of making music?</strong></p><p><i>My grandmother said in Cape Town my first word was Music. ‘Mimic’ I played piano for a few months when I was young, but I wanted a more rock n roll approach, and my teacher wasn’t having it and I wanted to play guitar. Shortly after there was an athletic phase, all energy went to thinking about being like Michael Jordan.. I was certain I would be a basketball player but as fate would have it I was given a cheap guitar in middle school called “The Terminator” and I remember learning the national anthem by ear. I turned up all the way and actually smashed my first guitar on the basketball court in my back yard.. I guess that was the turning point, that was the first ‘memory’.</i></p><p><strong>Which artists do you draw most inspiration from today?</strong></p><p><i>Today I am drawing a lot of inspiration from life long artists I have access to, and admire. There are a few legends I have had the fortunate chance to get advice from, and I have been thinking alot about the things they say. I wanna soak up all the knowledge I can, make art, resonate with the right people, and just be a messenger for the art form. As far as current artists, I like some of the EDM guys, like Tipper, and iLL Gates, they are really pushing the envelope on what’s possible in the studio. I have a track coming with iLL Gates on drums, something totally different then what folks are used to from me. I draw inspiration from so many sources it’s to many to list.</i></p><p><strong>How else do you find inspiration for your music?</strong></p><p><i>I am trying to find greater meaning in what it means to be alive, and a part of this amazing thing called life. I get inspiration from looking at nature, and thinking about the way time, and harmony work. It’s an endless source. The way the stars look at night just inspires me. Taking care of The Music Factory and thinking about the teachers, and all the seeds we are planting inspires me as well.</i></p><p><strong>What do you love about the Northwest music scene?</strong></p><p><i>It’s a great place to grow up, it’s a great place to learn as a kid. There are a lot of really wonderful people, and all the teachers and students at The Music Factory, and all the families are really special. I loved living in New York and Pennsylvania as well. The NW comes with a legacy of original art that is so unique. The kind of artists that really slice into the fabric of time, the Kurt Cobain’s, Jimi Hendrix’s, the Quincy Jones’s, bands that have been able to keep going for so many years like Pearl Jam, and cats like these make it really special. There is an energy that’s always a few steps ahead. My friend KJ Sawka is another example, he really was on the crest of the wave of the music.</i></p><p><strong>What would you say is the perfect setting for listeners to enjoy your sound?</strong></p><p><i>I really want to explore the spatial audio and surround sound areas. I hear my music like that.</i><br><i>A good pair of stereo noise canceling headphones will help a listener really hear the details of the mixes we are putting out. I always love live performances as well. If you wanna feel it, I would suggest closing your eyes and really letting the music take you on a journey. The music is full of feelings, and expression, and I try to really exploit the stereo field. I mean listening on a phone is better than nothing, but you’re gonna miss like 80% of the magic.</i></p><p><strong>How has your own style and sound evolved since you started out?</strong></p><p><i>I have always gravitated to artists that really feel the music, and that are really expressing life through the notes. When I was younger I gravitated to learning complex forms, and polyrhythmic music, but less to impress or to execute the patterns, and more to be able to let go and dig deeper with the art. I have made a lot of music in a lot of styles, but I can hear a common thread in there. There is a sound but I am not sure it’s for me to describe. It all stems from the blues though. Blues, groove. Ironically I am less concerned with how I sound now, and rather just more concerned with finding ways to enjoy the moments, inevitably the sounds just happen.</i></p><p><strong>How did you find making your new single “Let’s Do It Right Now”?</strong></p><p><i>“Let’s Do It Right Now” is the second release with Billy Martin, John Medeski, and Jason Fraticelli. The first was an all improv EP called “Meeting of the Minds”. I always love getting the right artwork together. Burgundy Viscosi did the art for MOTM and Monte at Forest Shore did LDIRN. The song is a tribute to Elvin Jones and it was a bit of a departure from what I would normally compose for a session with Billy and John, but it seemed like the right move. I carried this song conceptually with me for 20 years, when I met Elvin.. Billy is a deep cat. He empowered me to see what came up in the room on the day, in the moment, I mean I composed like 20 ideas for that session, and I closed my eyes at one point and did an eenie meenie miney mo and it just came up. Those guys are so fucking great. I just wanted to explore it all with them, I loved every moment of the process. Because the form was rather traditional,</i><br><i>In the mix process Eric Eagle and I put the guitar and drums through a plethora of out board gear, twisting knobs, and manipulating tape to put a vibe on it.</i></p><p><strong>What message did you want to get across with this release?</strong></p><p><i>I just wanted to honour Elvin Jones, and get this out there. I will always love to swing, and that Coltrane spirit and sound is something that will carry with me for all times. Certain people just leave you with something you know. LDIRN was a vehicle to lock in and show some love to that era, to a legend, and I think Jazz and Jam fans will discover this and be able to hear John and Billy and Jason and I in a way they may not have normally been able to find.</i></p><p><strong>How did you find collaborating with Billy Martin and John Medeski?</strong></p><p><i>I studied these cats going way way back. They are icons of a generation in a way. In the 90’s right away I could see they were tapping into something I both understood and wanted to understand more. You know what, these guys are operating on a real honest level and with a heavy dose of virtuosity and creativity.. You can see it, and you can hear it, they are just taking risks and confronting things with their art that alot of people stray away from. I just felt so blessed, and I would just love to make more content with these lovely people and talented players. I found them to be generous with their knowledge, and very open and accepting. It felt more like I was in a room with a few guys that I grew up with. It had the feeling of both being in high school in a room with my friends, but at the same time some of the best players in the world. The improv was like stepping into a timeless painting, knowing that each brush stroke was fitting just right on the canvas, they opened up a portal where I felt like I could paint anything, any stroke was the right stroke, even the wrong strokes. The forms we played it was just really effortless and organic..</i></p><p><strong>What artist have you been listening to most recently?</strong></p><p><i>I have been going back and listening to my friends’ music, and music I listened to as a teen. The good stuff never gets old. I have a 1989 Corolla I am driving so all my old tapes are getting dusted off and replayed. There are some demo’s in there from my early 20’s too, I love to hear it. It’s a great feeling. I’ll check anything out.</i></p><p><strong>What’s the main thing you want people to get out of listening to your music?</strong></p><p><i>There is more to life than we know. I feel like the notes come through me & not from me. Art is a way of connecting to something bigger. I would like people to feel like they can connect to that source through the music. If there are other players that would want to play my tunes I would love that too, I publish the charts all on my site at www.arijoshua.com but you know, the music is like a medicine for a lot of us, and ultimately I want to make the world a better place. I feel like the whole world going back hundreds of millions of years formed and evolved just to place us here now, and that’s what my music is, an expression of all that.</i></p><p><strong>What’s been your favourite live performance so far?</strong></p><p><i>My favourite live performances? There are a few categories, I’ll never forget playing in my high school bands, that feeling of connecting with an audience for the first time. I loved Big High, my rock band, we were only around for a few years, but it was a really special band, there are 2 Big High albums out there, our last show was magical. I miss that band.. All in all I don’t have a favourite. I just know if my body starts to tingle or vibrate, something really wonderful is happening. Whenever that happens next, that will be my favourite.</i></p><p><strong>Who would be 3 artists to headline your dream festival? And where would it be?</strong></p><p><i>Alive or dead? As for not around anymore, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Jimi Hendrix. As for being alive, maybe Pearl Jam, Phish, and Robert Glasper. That’s a tough question.</i></p><p><strong>Do you have any advice for a new artist wanting to follow your footsteps?</strong></p><p><i>So much advice I could never put it to a single paper. If you want to follow footsteps please, contact me through The Music Factory and set up some sessions. In fact any parents, kids or aspiring professionals that want lessons reach out to us at www.musicfactorynw.com and we can set that all up! But in all seriousness, if anyone wants advice, I will be an open book and gladly share. I have experienced so many diverse situations and adversities at this point. I sought out all the knowledge and information I could get for so long. I’ve made so many mistakes and had a lot of opportunities. I guess the advice I have mainly is to follow your heart, and to do the best with what you got, if you can do %1 better than you did in the past you’re probably going to do alright. I believe in sharing knowledge.</i></p><p><strong>Finally, what do you have lined up for the rest of 2023?</strong></p><p><i>In 2023 I am gonna be in the studio mixing and producing more music, and spending time working on my music school, our garden, the building which we just acquired, and lining up more shows and recordings. Expect more releases from these cats John Medeski, Billy Martin, Jason Fraticelli, Ray Paczcowski, Russ Lawton, Big High, John Kimock, Skerik, Delvon Lamarr, Grant Schroff, Eden Ladin, Andy Hess, and more. I have been mixing with Jon Plum, Ari Raskin, Eric Eagle, Matt Rifino, at a round robin of studios. 2023 will be about exploring ways to build on the mission. I gather there are about 300 original songs on my storage devices. I just wanna create and get out there more and share the music. It’s a balance of The Music Factory for music education and also finding quality time to spend with my GF, and the family, and working to put out more art one way or another.</i></p><p>Listen to <i>Let’s Do It Right Now</i> below</p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4Xx8k2eVTrjy5s8tal8yCe">https://open.spotify.com/track/4Xx8k2eVTrjy5s8tal8yCe</a></p><p> </p>

For years, shamanistic guitarist and composer Ari Joshua has been one of those “musician’s musicians” who those “in the know” rave about but remains under the radar to the public.

These tracks will be issued in various configurations, and they document a spiritual journey of a prodigious talent all-consumed by his passion for music. </p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/6bd9b7d44dc62527187ec23c50b74d845be6dc2b/original/nsr-ari-16x9.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p>We talk with Ari about:</p><ul>

Jane Howkins of YorkCalling's Review of "Spooky"
<p>Original Link: <a class="no-pjax" href="https://yorkcalling.co.uk/2023/06/02/world-music-3/" target="_blank">https://yorkcalling.co.uk/2023/06/02/world-music-3/</a></p><p>Last year, I started a new round-up review series based on world music. It’s a genre that doesn’t get as much love as it should, whilst also being very eclectic as a whole. As such, all the artists in this list are very different from one another, so there should be something here for all lovers of world music.</p><p><i>Review by Jane Howkins</i></p><p><strong>Ari Joshua – </strong><i><strong>Spooky</strong></i></p><p><i><strong>Spooky </strong></i>is a suitably titled tune, as the main guitar melody that runs through it certainly has an eerie vibe! Seattle composer <strong>Ari Joshua </strong>is a fantastic musician, having made quite a name for himself in his home state. The track has an almost reggae/dub vibe to it, although it’s very different from anything else I’ve heard from that genre before, sounding suitably unique. The horns add an extra special touch alongside the main guitar line and beat.</p><p><strong>Social media: </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.arijoshua.com/"><strong>Website</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/"><strong>Facebook</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic"><strong>Twitter</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C9Z1YhnRr08CKRSZ7nEuV"><strong>Spotify</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/"><strong>Bandcamp</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/"><strong>Youtube</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/"><strong>Instagram</strong></a></p><figure><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper" style="box-sizing:inherit;position:relative;"><iframe style="border-radius:12px;box-sizing:inherit;height:231.375px;inset:0px;margin-bottom:30px;max-width:100%;position:absolute;width:540px;" title="Spotify Embed: Spooky" width="100%" height="152" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1JGqbMl2DtTANdHfcphyta?si=30b7018403a245f2&utm_source=oembed"></iframe></div></figure><p><br> </p>

<p><i><strong>Ari Joshua continues to showcase his endless creativity on his latest soul jazz composition and heartfelt tribute to Elvin Jones, “Let’s Do It Right Now.”</strong></i></p>
<p>Ari Joshua personifies the essence of musical versatility, having effortlessly navigated the realms of jazz, rock, experimental and improvisational genres throughout his acclaimed career. With an unending wellspring of creativity, Joshua carries a distinct artistic vision, radiating an enlightened aura and showcasing captivating mastery over the guitar, his primary instrument of choice.</p>
<p>In his latest musical offering, Joshua presents a spellbinding slice of soul jazz titled “Let’s Do It Right Now.” The track, which you can hear via the player below, exemplifies a remarkable synergy with a quartet of high-octane collaborators, coming alive through the rhythmic artistry of Billy Martin, the virtuosity of John Medeski on the keyboard, and Jason Fraticelli’s profound expertise on the upright bass. Together, they craft a rich tapestry of sounds that confidently straddles the delicate balance between tradition, evoking the nostalgic aura of the 1960s, and innovation.</p>
<p>Interestingly, Joshua composed “Let’s Do It Right Now” as a heartfelt homage to the much-missed, legendary Elvin Jones. Reflecting on a memorable encounter, the guitarist/composer shares: “I had the privilege of meeting Elvin Jones at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Fest in the mid-90s. As I asked for a photograph with my disposable camera, he eagerly exclaimed, ‘Ahhhhhh… Let’s Do It Right Now!’ Elvin possessed a remarkable ability to be fully present in the moment.”</p>

<p>As spring arrives, we find the Seattle Jazz Fellowship presenting five stellar nights of music, and a variety of touring artists performing at Jazz Alley and The Royal Room. May as well marks another spring without the Ballard Jazz Festival, with plans in motion to re-emerge in the spring of 2024. Missing as well, is the annual Miles Davis Birthday Celebration at Tula’s, that desecended into the dustbin of Seattle jazz history with the demolition of the Belltown strip. Please be sure to celebrate Miles personally by listening to as much of his music as you can this month! Please use the sketches below to assist you in experiencing live jazz this month, in and around Seattle, but don’t stop there–the city is rapidly awakening from its pandemic induced swoon.</p>
<h2><strong>Seattle Jazz Fellowship Wednesdays</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Wednesdays at 7:30 PM/ Vermillion</strong></h2>
<p>Each Wednesday, Seattle Jazz Fellowship presents two sets of music performed by the best of the Seattle jazz scene, with toruing artists appearing periodically. The event personifies the efforts of the jazz non-profit to provide access to Seattle jazz artists that were lacking a proper venue with the closure of the New Orleans and Tula’s over the past decade. The focus is on excellence in artistry, lowering the barriers of access for the Seattle jazz audience and presenting jazz artistry with resident artists that are paid a living wage. One year into the experiment, the fellowship is full steam ahead each week, with special events at The Royal Room and other venues being staged as well. Below is a week by week preview into the May schedule. <a class="no-pjax" href="https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events">https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events</a></p>

<h2><strong>Tim Kennedy Trio</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>May 31</strong></h2>
<p>Pianist <strong>Tim Kennedy </strong>gets down to doing what he does so well- playing jazz piano in a trio setting. While his great flexibility as a keyboardist in general has put him on display in a variety of musical settings over the years, his emergence as one of the finest jazz pianists to rise out of the Seattle jazz community is not to be questioned. Whether playing in a quartet/quintet setting in bands that include those of trumpeter Thomas Marriott, or basking in the liberty of the trio setting, Kennedy’s playing is a study in emotive jazz expressionism. Bassist <strong>Jonti Siman</strong>, and drummer <strong>Claudio Rochat-Felix</strong> have become integral in Kennedy’s musical circle in modern times, and are given the opportunity with the SJF to perform in a listening environment that their playing deserves. Kennedy’s vibe includes years spent on the east coast, paying his dues in New York and New Jersey. He is not afraid to take chances and corner himself on a particular harmonic strand, while allowing himself to immerse himself in the impulse of the trio mind.</p>

<h2><strong>Tue May 30- Wed May 31, 7:30 PM/ Jazz Alley</strong></h2>
<p>Trumpeter<strong> Keyon Harrold</strong> has been so heralded for his work outside of the jazz genre, that his status as a world class jazz artist can often be lost. His own work has included elements of Afrobeat, soul, spoken word, hip-hop, blues, rock and American folk. His trumpet playing simmers in jazz tradition no matter what environment it travels in. He was the trumpet voice in Don Cheadle’s historically horrific film, <i>Miles Ahead, </i>but let’s not allow that to cloud our collective judgement about his artistry–the cat can really play, and is worth your time and energy to witness. Band TBA. <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7428">https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7428</a></p>

<h2><strong>Mon May 1,8,15,22,29- 9 PM/ Royal Room</strong></h2>
<p>The all-ages jam on Monday nights has been doing well. The South Hudson Music Project series, “New Music Mondays,” precedes the jam most nights at 7:30. Marriott forms a new quartet each week to play three tunes or so, then opens up the session. There is a sign-up sheet, and everyone gets to play. For his part, Marriott has done a masterful job curating the session, adjusting on the fly according to the participants and vibe of the particular evening. Some of the city’s finest are in attendance, as well as younger musicians, some as young as high school age. This fulfills a portion of the mentorship cycle that has kept this music alive for over a century.</p>

Nevertheless, June brings some promising prospects at venues around the city. Bear in mind, these are previews for Seattle proper for the most part. Music provided by the <strong>Seattle Jazz Fellowship </strong>and the <strong>South Hudson Music Project</strong> need your support, to continue to provide top tier, live Seattle jazz at value pricing. If you have that killer deal for your membership, or are attending a no cover event such as a jam session, please consider making a contribution above and beyond. That being said, here’s a few suggestions for your listening and social engagement.</p></div>

<h2><strong>Thu Jun 1, 7:30 PM/ Raisbeck Auditorium</strong></h2>
<p>Being heralded as the next big thing in jazz saxophone is a heavy burden for a young musician. Let’s pull back the reins on that notion for a few years. After her homage to the Coltrane legacy, <i>Pursuance, </i>the young altoist is now known for blending hip hop and soul with traditional jazz trappings, as well as associations with prominent jazz artists. Her performance at Raisbeck is your opportunity to introduce yourself to her playing in the relaxed atmosphere at Langston. She has received a lot of publicity early on in her journey. Seeing how the next ten years unfolds should be a thrilling ride, as her artistry becomes the product of her own understanding. Nice once again to see Earshot working to get music like this out there. Band TBA. Just learned on 5/30 that <strong>Zaccai Curtis</strong> will be on piano. <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.earshot.org/event/lakecia-benjamin/">https://www.earshot.org/event/lakecia-benjamin/</a></p>
<h2><strong>Seattle Jazz Fellowship: Fellowship Wednesdays at Vermillion Art Bar</strong></h2>
<p>Each Wednesday at 7:30 PM, the non-profit presents the best of the Seattle jazz scene, with special events presenting visiting artists sprinkled in. The vibe is relaxed, with time between sets to have some hang time with YOUR community. The event has been drawing well, with the small club filling up fast, first come, first served. This month’s offerings are like a string of pearls.</p>

<h2><strong>In Motion Quartet with Steve Treseler & Kevin Woods</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Wed Jun 7, 7:30 PM/ Set 1</strong></h2>
<p>Tenor saxophonist <strong>Steve Treseler</strong> and trumpeter <strong>Kevin Woods</strong> lead a quartet featuring Bellingham based musicians. Bassist <strong>King Dahl</strong> and drummer<strong> Jerry Steinhilber </strong>fill out this chord-less foursome inspired by the quartets of Ornette Coleman and Dewey Redman. The format allows musicians to interact melodically and harmonically, focusing on rhythmic variation. Treseler’s reputation is solid in Seattle, and on a national scale, has received accolades for his work with Ingrid Jensen. Woods’ appearances in Seattle are less frequent. Both leaders are skilled composers and arrangers, adding to the intrigue of what the quartet will offer in that sense, with the structure of the music being more modal and rhythm oriented. <a class="no-pjax" href="https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events">https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events</a></p>

<h2><strong>Ari Joshua Quartet</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Wed Jun 7, 7:30 PM/ Set 2</strong></h2>
<p>Guitarist <strong>Ari Joshua</strong> is a shapeshifting guitarist that lives on the edge of the jazz and jam band thin line. One of the requirements to play a gig at the Fellowship is that you can describe your music as jazz. With this quartet, Joshua makes that declaration. Bassist <strong>Michael Glynn</strong> has been a first call double bassist in Seattle for quite some time, and continues to not only remain incredibly solid, but open to new and fresh ideas to incorporate into his playing. Pianist <strong>Dan Kramlich</strong> has kindred ambitions with Joshua concerning the rock world, though his fascination with grunge differs from Joshua’s Grateful Dead attraction. Kramlich is however, about as straight ahead as a jazz pianist can be, with a penchant for gathering different elementals into his jazz vision. Drummer<strong> D’Vonne Lewis</strong> is a Seattle music treasure, and the fourth generation of the Lewis family to impact the Seattle music scene. His original style is athletic, yet accompanied with a great ability to listen, and enter the fray in a conversational way. This is the second set of this Wednesday double bill.</p>

<h2><strong>George Colligan Trio</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Wed Jun 21, 7:30 PM</strong></h2>
<p>The appearance of Portland based pianist<strong> George Colligan</strong> at a small venue like Vermillion is a rarity to say the least. The author of more than twenty albums as a leader, and over a hundred as a sideman, Colligan is one of the most prolific pianists of the past twenty five years in jazz. His musical associations include Jack DeJohnette, Buster Williams, John Scofield and Ravi Coltrane among many others. Colligan is Portland- based these days, and arrives with his trio, including Portland bassist<strong> Eric Gruber.</strong> Drummer <strong>Michael Raynor</strong> is a well known part of the outstanding jazz scene in Chicago, and has played regularly with saxophone icon, Von Freeman, for many years. Arrive early for this one.</p>

<h2><strong>Rich Cole Quartet</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>June 28, 7:30 PM</strong></h2>
<p>Tenor saxophonist<strong> Rich Cole</strong> has been a bit of a mystery in the post-pandemic world. The soulful tenorist has turned up in recent months, sounding like the player we are accustomed to hearing on his recordings for <strong>Origin Records </strong>and live performances at local clubs. Cole played Tula’s regularly for many years. His wit and humor comes through in his playing that can be introspective and unhinged. Cole is joined by pianist <strong>Bill Anschell</strong>, bassist <strong>Chris Symer</strong> and drummer <strong>Byron Vannoy</strong>, three of the city’s finest, and familiar faces to the eclectic tenorist.</p>

<h2><strong>Tue Jun 6- Wed Jun 7, 7:30 PM/ Jazz Alley</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Brandee Younger</strong> has extraordinary command of her instrument. She has applied it as part of ensembles led by such luminaries as Ravi Coltrane, Ron Carter and Pharoah Sanders. This Jazz Alley hit is unique and interesting in that she is performing in trio, utilizing the harp as the primary melody and harmony instrument with bass and drums. She has played in the place normally assigned to piano and guitar frequently, but this time around she stands alone aside bassist Rahsaan Carter and drummer Allan Medford. Younger has the ability to thrill listeners with both traditional playing and original, innovative modernism. She is not only the best at what she is doing as a harpist, she is the only one doing what she does on her instrument. Take a chance on this one if you are even vaguely unfamiliar with her work– she is that transformative. <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7433">https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7433</a></p>

<h2><strong>David Sanborn Jazz Quintet</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Thu Jun 8- Sun Jun 11, 7:30 & 9:30 PM/ Jazz Alley</strong></h2>
<p><strong>David Sanborn</strong> is a commercially successful entertainer, mostly through his work in pop, r&b and television. He has been deemed one of the most influential saxophonists of the past half century, due to that sort of work. The good news is, he has returned to modern acoustic jazz over the past decade, and the results have shown us he is indeed a jazz saxophonist of note. This tour, he is joined by pianist <strong>Andy Ezrin,</strong> bassist <strong>Philip Norris</strong> and drummer <strong>Billy Kilson</strong>. Don’t expect a Sanborn hit parade. Approach this one with the idea that he is simply playing the music that inspires him as a musician at this point in his career. His true artistry may be more apparent to the listener now than ever. <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7443">https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7443</a></p>

<h2><strong>Tue Jun 13- Wed Jun 14, 7:30 PM/Jazz Alley</strong></h2>
<p>To have an artist of such significant relevance musically and historically, paying us a visit in Seattle is a blessing. Certainly, it is a JA run not to be missed. McPherson propagated his legend first, with a twelve year run with Charles Mingus in the 1960’s and early 70’s, standing out in ensembles that included Eric Dolphy, Dannie Richmond and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. He is a prolific composer, working outside of jazz on occasion to provide music for dance ensembles. The Detroit native is still playing extremely well, his melody based playing possessing grace under fire after all these years! Charles is joined by trumpeter T<strong>errell Stafford</strong>, pianist<strong> Jeb Patton</strong>, bassist <strong>Marcus Shelby</strong> and drummer<strong> Akira Tana</strong>. These are can’t miss dates on the Seattle jazz calendar! <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7434">https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7434</a></p>

<h2><strong>Steve Lehman Trio</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Sat Jun 17, 7:30 PM/ Raisbeck Auditorium</strong></h2>
<p>An alto saxophonist unafraid to venture into unknown territory, <strong>Steve Lehman</strong> is a tough act to nail down in a sketch preview. The presence of bassist <strong>Matt Brewer</strong> in this chord-less trio dynamic is the factor that allows me to feel strong about recommending this gig to our readers. Lehman dabbles in electronics, as well as orchestral forms, making this trio lineup tough to predict. Drummer <strong>Damion Reid </strong>adds to the allure of this Earshot Jazz hit. There is enough jazz interpretation and Bennie Maupin- like influences to satisfy a more straight ahead jazz fan, as well as enough exploration into spontaneously inspired new space to draw the more outside crowd. Raisbeck, as a new venue, is acoustically superb, comfortable and intimate. Earshot continues their penchant for taking risks in pursuit of new sounds. <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.earshot.org/event/steve-lehman-trio/">https://www.earshot.org/event/steve-lehman-trio/</a></p>

<h2><strong>Thu Jun 22, 7:30 PM/ Royal Room</strong></h2>
<p>Trumpeter <strong>Ray Vega</strong> grew up between the sounds of jazz and salsa in Bronx, NY, with his counterpart, <strong>Thomas Marriott</strong> hailing from Seattle in the Pacific Northwest. This time around, they celebrate their third release on <strong>Origin Records</strong>, <i>Coast to Coast</i>. They are joined by jazz legend and octogenarian <strong>Roy McCurdy</strong> on drums. A pair of Seattle aces in bassist <strong>Michael Glynn</strong> and pianist <strong>Tim Kennedy</strong> complete this well formed quintet. Vega has acted as a friend and mentor to Marriott since he began passing through Seattle with Latin Jazz icon, Tito Puente. Both Marriott and Vega carry distinctively original voices that communicate well. Ticket time is now, as this one should sell out quickly. <a class="no-pjax" href="https://theroyalroomseattle.com/event/the-east-west-trumpet-summit-w-ray-vega-thomas-marriott-featuring-roy-mccurdy/?instance_id=8025">https://theroyalroomseattle.com/event/the-east-west-trumpet-summit-w-ray-vega-thomas-marriott-featuring-roy-mccurdy/?instance_id=8025</a></p>

<h2><strong>Emmett Cohen Trio</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Tue Jun 27- Wed Jun 28, 7:30 PM/ Jazz Alley</strong></h2>
<p>Pianist <strong>Emmet Cohen</strong> is a genius improviser and modern straight ahead jazz virtuoso. There is a genuine quality to his playing as well, one that exudes joy, innovation and a deep reverence for the jazz tradition. His trio has been featured annually at a variety of festivals internationally. His nimble touch, broad harmonic vocabulary and spontaneous imagination are vividly on display during his performances. He’s the type of cat who will play a ninety minute set and then spend several hours at a local jam session. His love for the music is plain. Bassist <strong>Philip Norris</strong> and drummer <strong>Kyle Poole</strong>join for this iteration of the trio. <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7421">https://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/artist.jsp?shownum=7421</a></p>

<h2><strong>Greta Matassa Quintet</strong></h2>
<h2><strong>Fri Jun 30, 7 PM/ Egan’s Ballard Jam House</strong></h2>
<p>While<strong> Greta Matassa</strong>’s many Seattle performances may seem commonplace, they are anything but. Even while sporting the same band night after night, she keeps things fresh and innovative. Constantly looking for interesting ways to arrange and present both original and standard tunes, Matassa has a legacy of excellence to draw from and add to. She teams with bassist and husband <strong>Clipper Anderson</strong>, ace guitarist<strong> Brian Monroney</strong>, drummer<strong> Mark Ivester</strong> and the band’s second solo voice- tenor saxophone giant, <strong>Alexey Nikolaev</strong>. Performances often feature Matassa’s arrangements of instrumental tunes, clearly stating that she is much more than a singer–she is a vocal musician, with the ability to improvise without lyrics, as well as communicate a tune’s narrative masterfully. Get your tickets quickly for this one–Egan’s is an intimate, forty seat venue.

<div class="post-content" style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:1.5em 0px;">
<figure><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper" style="box-sizing:border-box;"><iframe style="border-radius:12px;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:100%;" title="Spotify Embed: Let&apos;s Do It Right Now" width="100%" height="152" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/4Xx8k2eVTrjy5s8tal8yCe?si=92ffc40b138b4768&utm_source=oembed"></iframe></div></figure><p>As huge fans of the ever expanding discography of <strong>Ari Joshua</strong>, and having covered his previous releases, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://karlismyunkle.com/2023/04/03/ari-joshua-teams-up-with-delvon-lamarr-skerik-grant-schroff-and-tor-dietrichson-on-evocative-and-intricate-new-single-soulmine/">SoulMine</a> and <a class="no-pjax" href="https://karlismyunkle.com/2023/05/02/ari-joshua-takes-us-on-a-mystical-trip-with-atmospheric-new-single-spooky/">Spooky</a>, we were stoked to say that least once we learnt that<strong> </strong>the visionary artist had just released <i><strong>Let’s Do It Right Now.</strong></i></p>
<p>Immersing us with a cerebral energy, astral, 8-bit nuances and digitised sound design, <strong>Ari Joshua </strong>opens <i><strong>Let’s Do It Right Now</strong></i> with a dynamic and intricate sound design, evolving into a contemporary acid jazz vibe which has us in awe.</p>
<p>The opus takes us on a playful journey with masterful instrumentation, evocative melodies and a sense of nostalgic subversion. We are enamoured with the organ performance, and the raw edges that truly allow the composition to shine in its own right.</p>
<p>We learn that <i><strong>Let’s Do It Right Now</strong></i> is designed to honour the late dummer and artist, Elvin Jones. Speaking on the tribute, <strong>Ari Joshua </strong>confesses, “I met <strong>Elvin Jones</strong> at Lionel Hampton Jazz Fest in the mid 90’s and as I asked him for a photograph with my disposable camera he eagerly exclaimed ‘Ahhhhhhhh… Let’s Do It Right Now!’ Elvin had a way of being so in the moment. Billy Martin and John Medeski, have always been high on my list of artists to create with and after working closely with them it reconfirmed why on a few levels.” <br> </p>

<p>“Sometimes, it’s the perfect timing and place, sometimes even if it’s imperfect the imperfections are the compass toward what’s real that is what makes an artist’s greatest art”, continues Ari with wisdom and intention.</p>
<p>We appreciate the presence of <strong>Billy Martin</strong> on drums, <strong>John Medeski </strong>on electric organ, and <strong>Jason Fraticelli </strong>performing upright bass, and we learn that the piece was devised as part of a multi-day recording session in a barn in Woodstock, just after the end of the global pandemic. The meditative outro is transcendental, and certainly makes for a fitting tribute to <strong>Elvin Jones</strong>.</p>
<p><i><strong>Let’s Do It Right Now</strong></i> has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream <strong>Ari Joshua</strong>‘s wider discography, and anticipate future releases from the star.</p>

Thoughts Words Action review of ‘Spooky’ May 18th 2023
<p style="text-align:justify;">Thoughts Words Action review of ‘Spooky’ May 18th 2023</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://thoughtswordsaction.com/2023/05/18/ari-joshua-spooky/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://thoughtswordsaction.com/2023/05/18/ari-joshua-spooky/</a></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>We have some more excellent music for your listening pleasure. </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://song.link/rs/i/1680583117"><strong><u>Spooky</u></strong></a><strong> is the latest single by </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.com/"><strong><u>Ari Joshua</u></strong></a><strong>, a Seattle-based musician known for being a founding member of Big High, Acidophilus Culture, The Fort Project, ((Echo)), Cadillac Arrest, Slow Bunny, Space Owl, & RAaR. For this particular composition, he assembled a band consisting of internationally acclaimed artists such as Delvon Lamarr (Hammond organ), Skerik (sax), Grant Schroff (drums), and Tor Dietrichson (percussion).</strong></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Soundwise, Spooky embraces so many music genres that’s nearly impossible to grasp them all in just one listening. Perhaps psychedelic jazz comes to mind first because this number carries all the fundamentals of that particular style, but you’ll stumble upon many other complementary music genres along the way. Every segment shines with some of the finest properties borrowed from the seventies psychedelic rock, eighties art-rock, reggae, dub, cinematic, and ambient music. Of course, </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/"><strong><u>Ari Joshua</u></strong></a><strong> thoroughly planned everything while assembling every segment of this track, so these additional elements serve as accentuations, decorations, enhancements, and other more than necessary details that undoubtedly uplift Spooky on an entirely new level.</strong></p><p><strong><img src="https://xthoughtswordsactionx.files.wordpress.com/2023/05/ari_with_3d_guitar_-117.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Ari Joshua" height="1000" width="1000" /></strong></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Every involved musician plays a significant role in shaping Spooky, but you’ll immediately notice that </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/"><strong><u>Ari Joshua</u></strong></a><strong>‘s outstanding guitar performance is a centerpiece of this composition. His profoundly detailed themes, leads, melodies, harmonies, chord progressions, and other virtuosities serve as a principle that shapes all these calm, soothing, relaxing, nearly cathartic soundscapes. The rhythm section keeps this composition even more exciting by supplying equally detailed basslines and moderate rhythmic sequences based upon flawlessly accentuated downtempo beats, breaks, fills, accentuations, and other percussive acrobatics. The luxurious portion of studio reverb, echo, and delay provides an ideal dub/reggae atmosphere, while the lead theme performed on sax gives some seventies spy movie soundtrack vibes. Every instrument acts as a significant piece of this sonic equation that will undoubtedly appeal to even the pickiest listeners. Spooky will be your go-to number whenever you need some mesmerizing downtempo music, and </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic"><strong><u>Ari Joshua</u></strong></a><strong> proved once again why he’s one of the best musicians on the psych-jazz scene. The single is available on all </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://song.link/rs/i/1680583117"><strong><u>streaming platforms</u></strong></a><strong>. Don’t miss it.</strong></p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/62b2d97ba0e2d0b446e8ad784ff1d42e8e3f4e0a/original/screenshot-2023-08-20-at-4-17-16-am.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />

<p><span>Ari Joshua just released a new single with an all-star cast of musicians and it is different, </span><br><span>fresh and most probably something….spooky.</span></p>
<p><span>The track is titled “Spooky” and it’s….well, it’s not ‘scare you’ spooky, but it’s the relaxed and chilled kind of spooky…</span><br><span>does that make sense? No? Ok, well, that’s why I want to mention that this track is unlike most of the music you’ve probably experienced.</span></p>
<p><span>“Spooky” is a downbeat chill jazz/soul band kind of tune…with a sinister vibe underlying the chill tone..</span><br><span>it’s unique and different…</span></p>
<p><span>It also has this kind of hypnotic ‘mantra’ of the melody being repeated…it puts you into a trance…</span></p>
<p><span>Well, let’s not forget…the people who made this music come to life are absolutely awesome in what they do…</span><br><span>well, why don’t we get to know these artists…</span></p>
<p><span>We have </span><br><span><strong>Ari Joshua on the Guitar</strong></span><br><span><strong>Skerik on the Saxophone</strong></span><br><span><strong>Delvon Lamarr on Keyboards and Hammond</strong></span><br><span><strong>Grant Schroff on the Drums</strong></span><br><span><strong>Tor Dietrichson on Percussion.</strong></span></p>
<p><span>…and of course it wouldn’t have reached its ultimate destination if it wasn’t for…</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Mell Dettmer, tracking engineer from Studio Soli</strong></span><br><span><strong>Jason Gray, overdub engineer and mixing engineer from Blue Mallard Recording</strong></span><br><span><strong>Doug Krebs, Mastering Engineer </strong></span></p>
<p><span>“Spooky” is a masterfully composed and performed tune, with jazz and soul elements in the mix…beautiful.</span></p>
<p><span>The song starts out with the all-star cast playing all of the instruments…the musical progression is haunting…</span><br><span>in a catchy way…then the saxophone starts playing the melody, which is absolutely lovely, seductive and of course…</span><br><span>spooky…The guitar then starts to fiddle here and there…and the sound of the guitar is phenomenal.Across the track, </span><br><span>there are many sound effects and audio elements that elevate the experience and adds a deep layer of depth to it.</span><br><span>…all of these instruments and melodies are playing on top of a colossal bass line that provides both the sonic foundation </span><br><span>and the movement of the musical progression…working hand in hand with the amazing percussion and the grooviest </span><br><span>drum beats…everything is tight, locked in and ready to spook you, while chilling…a very unique feeling.</span><br><br><span>To Ari, the band and the whole team behind “Spooky”, you are absolutely phenomenal and we wish you all the best in life…</span><br><span>we’ll be on the lookout for your new musical projects…we’re fans of what you do.</span><br><br><span>Cheers!</span></p>

<p id="viewer-1b3ut"><span>Soulmine’ is a funky jam band track that digs into soul and comes up rich as all heck. Ari Joshua, Delvon Lamarr, Skerik and Grant Schroff have all poured so much brilliance into this single. There is a moment for everyone, and boy do they take it.</span></p>
<p id="viewer-kk94"><span>The song starts off quick. The drums fill the scene, the melody comes through the bass and organ chords. The guitar flickers in the back as brass and woodwinds fill the highs, taking themelody one step further and lighting up the sky. Break, the solos come along. Like great big band or jam band tracks, there have got to be tangents of musical glee. And so there are, and they are indeed gleeful. The saxophone takes a dive and comes up spinning, golden sounds fill the air. The guitar flicks and flares into a solo that catches the funk and sends it right back. The keys go on a hay ride and laugh the whole way. Good vibes are flowing, music is golden and the power of jam band sounds has never been more prevalent. ‘Soulmine’ is a brilliant single from an extremely brilliant group.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">The sound of Ari Joshua, a talented musician and performer, is as varied as his upbringing. Ari’s love for music was obvious even as a young child. He was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and raised in Seattle, Washington. He received a scholarship to study music on the East Coast after graduating from high school, where he honed the power of musical expression. Ari has established himself as one of the most adored artists in the music industry thanks to his commitment to his craft.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The second of three funky & soulful songs from this quartet led by Ari Joshua will transport listeners to the heyday of traditional jazz, soul, and funk music. “Soul Mine” is the group’s second offering. Listeners will be moving and grooving from beginning to end as the bassline, guitar riffs, and sax lines combine to create a musical masterpiece. The single will be available on all major streaming platforms starting March 31st. Check out the exclusive interview below:</p><img src="https://illustratemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Ari_Jump-682x1024.jpg.webp" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /><div class="post-box-meta-single" style="box-sizing:border-box;font-size:14px;margin:6px 0px 0px;outline:none;padding:0px;text-align:center;">
<br><strong>1. Can you tell us a bit about where you come from and how it all got started?</strong>
</div>
<p><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> My grandparents played a lot of music and my family enjoyed singing together which sparked a connection with music at a young age. I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, a place where the warm sun and the warm souls of its people and its distinct multicultural atmosphere and rich music traditions left a lasting impression on me. Mandela was still in prison when I was born, and his release and the end of apartheid happened only after we left. The political climate in South Africa during my early years shaped my world view and instilled a deep appreciation for the power of unity and change. When I was pretty young, my family decided to leave South Africa they did not want us to grow up under the apartheid regime, and we moved to the east coast of the United States. It was a fun time. After a few years we moved across the country to the Pacific Northwest with an A1 moving truck behind us with all our possessions. Seattle was a small town then, a place where I could grow up and flourish as a young artist. I spent my middle school years in Seattle during the era of Microsoft and Grunge, which made it one of the best cities in the world to be an aspiring artist in. The creative energy was palpable, and I was constantly inspired by the music, arts, and culture that surrounded me. I hold that all dear to my heart, as it was a period of growth, self-discovery, and the beginning of my artistic journey. While music has remained a constant passion throughout my life, the way it is consumed, shared and experienced has changed dramatically over time. I really value the life I have had and the memories of where it all began, and although it’s changing, I will always appreciate the power of music to connect people and bring them together. I started with tapes, records, garage bands, and that led to joining my high school jazz band, and after graduation I returned to New York City for music school.</p>
<p><strong>2. Did you have any formal training or are you self-taught?</strong></p>
<p><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> From the very beginning, I was drawn to the raw and spontaneous energy of the radio and records, learning songs in fleeting moments and piecing them together with my own notebook scribbles. I also loved the feeling of making stuff up with my friends. There was something magical about that creative process, a sense of discovery and adventure that I still carry with me to this day. I am essentially a rare mix of both. I was completely self-taught to begin with. I learned from kids at school, and a neighbor up the street. I learned straight off the radio and records. There was a time when you would catch a song on the radio and you only had the time it was on to learn it. I loved that. I could learn 40% of a song the first time, and then wait a week till it came back on the radio to finish it off. If I loved the song, I would write down the name in a notebook and go to the record store. Half the time they didn’t even have the music in stock. I remember they would order it, or say it’s sold out. I would even tune my guitar to the records. I had no idea all the Hendrix stuff was in the wrong keys. To me the key was irrelevant. Of course, as I grew older and my passion for music deepened, I knew that I needed to seek out more formal education in order to truly refine my craft. My education started in Jazz Band in High School, but I was forced to play with horn players and it was like learning a new language all together. Because we were a gifted band of kids we were fortunate to perform and participate in jazz festivals over the United States as well as Mexico and Europe. I took classes with legends and was fortunate to receive two undergraduate scholarships. One was to the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University where I took private lessons with Kenny Barron as a 19 year-old and studied with Ralph Peterson, Akira Tana, Mike Richmond (Miles Davis), Badal Roy (Miles Davis), Ralph Bowen, Larry Ridley, Ted Dunbar, and Vic Juris. New Jersey at that time was a total TRIP! Culture shock but the music was great. After two years I transferred to The New School in NYC which was really where I wanted to be from the start. After graduating, I spent a few years in NYC. So yes, I was both self-taught but then formally trained, but the formal training was more in the African and American tradition of Jazz, influenced by a long list of incredible humans. At the time I knew how lucky I was. I was in music heaven. So yes, I may have started out as a self-taught musician, learning from the radio and my own instincts. But I was fortunate enough to be able to build upon that foundation with some of the greatest teachers and mentors a young musician could ask for. The result is a unique approach, and at least the makings of a style that is all my own, shaped by both intuition and education, and forever indebted to the rich traditions of the masters of all genres.</p>
<p><strong>3. Who were your first and strongest musical influences and why the name ‘ARI JOSHUA’?</strong></p>
<p><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> Well, there are quite a few influences actually. First and foremost, I have to say my grandparents. They had an incredible collection of classical, traditional, and jazz records that really shaped my musical taste from a young age. The beautiful melodies of the Synagogues and holidays my family and community celebrated throughout my youth with absolute regularity also had a big impact on me. And as far as specific artists, I’ve been influenced by a wide range of musicians, chronologically it started with blues, evolved to rock, then to jazz, and now it’s all over the place. From Lightning Hopkins and Charles Brown, to Mississippi John Hurt Jimi Hendrix. Stevie Wonder, King Crimson, John Mayall, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Mad Season, Spin Doctors, Temple of the Dog, The Grateful Dead, Santana, Phish, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Herb Ellis, Wes Montgomery, Freddy Green, James Brown, Billy Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Roy Hargrove, Pat Metheny, John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia, Medeski Martin & Wood, Jack McDuff, Sun Ra, Coltrane, Elvin Jones, Rashied Ali, Kenny Werner, Robert Glasper, Bill Gates, Amon Tobin, Tipper, and many more. It’s a big list but it’s just like 1% of the list, I think each one has contributed something unique to my sound and style. Whether it’s their use of melody, harmony, rhythm, or just their overall approach to music, I’ve tried to incorporate elements of all these influences but usually it’s more from a place of being moved by what they are doing, and less technical. For my name, well my full first name is Ariel Joshua, there is a mountain in Cape Town called Lion’s Head. I was born by it. Ari means Lion, and El means of God. Like the lion of Judah. My parents had a cool sense of picking names, my sisters name means ‘Song’. I guess when I was around 24 I wanted to go for the Bob Dylan thing and started using Ari Joshua as my professional name. It was before Facebook LOL so it just stuck on my artist profiles. My family name is actually Zucker or “sugar” in German, like the face book guy.</p>
<p><strong>4. What do you feel are the key elements in your music that should resonate with listeners, and how would you personally describe your sound?</strong></p>
<p><strong>ARI JOSHUA: </strong>I spent thousands of hours emulating the expressive sound of all the music I could. I just want to access that feeling that comes when you are connected and resonating. The music includes all the ups and downs of my life, and the lives of my ancestors. It also wants to include the feelings of everyone in the room as well, and their ups and downs. I will try to fit in with the people I am working with. I use my ears and listen to them and add what I think will best fit. I enjoy playing in a box, there is a beauty to what that can communicate and what you can co-create with certain rules and guidelines. I also very much love to paint and create outside any boxes. Billy Martin, and John Medeski who I recently worked with are the perfect embodiment of that, I could just do that forever and be pretty happy discovering the magical potential that comes from each moment. If the options of what sound is, is a complete rainbow, my ultimate goal is to explore every color of the complete rainbow of sound, and eventually go beyond what is conventionally perceived. There’s a certain magic that can be accessed through sound, beyond what can be described in words. That’s the sound I’m striving for – one of pure channeling.</p>
<p><strong>5. For most artists, originality is first preceded by a phase of learning and, often, emulating others. What was this like for you? How would you describe your own development as an artist and music maker, and the transition towards your own style, which is known as JAZZ?</strong></p>
<p><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> First off, I am not sure there are any labels that fit for me overall other than ‘Artist’, I studied Jazz so I could access the language. I have never been one who has the end goal to sound exactly like another artist. I did however and do feel that in the quest of finding one’s voice, there are few things as valuable as emulating others. I did that for years and years and I still enjoy doing that. For me this is like a process. The first part is listening or seeing the artists in person (better in person). Once that lights a fire and resonates with me I try to understand it. I do that by isolating parts. Like ‘OOH’ I love that part with Hank Mobley or Johny Hodges is scooping into those notes. How delicate and how expressive that is! I just have to be able to feel that. I put the tape, record or the CD on loop. I play that part over and over and over till I can almost taste it. Then I try to emulate it on the guitar. Are there notes involved? Well if so I wanna know what the chord is. Why are THOSE notes so potent on that chord. Same if it’s a riff from a classic rock song. What is the riff over, what chords. What are the lyrics saying? What is the mood of the song. Angry? Dark? Is it a revelation? Then I start to get into the quantum side of it. What if I played it in a different place? What if I played it slower or faster? Or if I put it on the relative minor? What if I take 20% of it and make it my own the other 80%? How about I combine the way this musical idea feels and sits with another idea from another artist from a similar era? You get the idea. I could do a whole lecture or book on this stuff. It’s so dang infinite.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>6. What’s your view on the role and function of music as political, cultural, spiritual, and/or social vehicles – and do you try and affront any of these themes in your work, or are you purely interested in music as an expression of technical artistry, personal narrative, and entertainment?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> I love all that. I mean I think it all ties in. Spiritually, music is an undeniable force. You can feel it with the greats. It’s part of knowing oneself and knowing how one fits into the greater source. Politically music is just there to transcend. Obama made Stevie Wonder the international ambassador of peace. Listen to his lyrics and try to tell me that he wouldn’t be a great leader for the peace. I would gladly serve the music, and the times in any way that it would have me. I may want to use it one way and it may have another idea for me. Right now, I am still trying to figure that one out.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>7. Do you feel that your music is giving you back just as much fulfillment as the amount of work you are putting into it or are you expecting something more, or different in the future?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> Both. I am certainly giving back in all the ways I possible can control. I am still learning how to do more. I think I always strive to do more, give back more, share more, make more music, make more art. I really hope as I enter the next few phases of life I can find more people to influence in a positive meaningful way.<br>One thing is it has changed over time, I used to want to just practice and get better at the craft, but now it’s more about the why. Business-wise things are pretty good right now.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>8. Could you describe your creative processes? How do usually start, and go about shaping ideas into a completed song? Do you usually start with a tune, a beat, or a narrative in your head? And do you collaborate with others in this process?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> For me, it’s really all about tapping into that creative flow and letting it take me where it wants to go. I don’t like to force anything or try to plan things out too much. I just trust that when I sit down to create, the ideas will start flowing and I’ll be able to turn them into something special. It’s more or less like a faucet. New ideas can come whenever I really want them to, the best stuff comes when I get out the way. Not everything needs to be the best thing you have ever done. My process is relatively fluid and intuitive. I tend to start by picking a style, vibe, or even another song that I like, and then I let the notes flow out of me. With only 12 notes and countless chord progressions, there are so many directions that a song can go in, both rhythmically and melodically. I often find that the main section of a song comes to me quickly, but the challenge lies in fleshing out the rest of the composition. I keep stacks of books filled with song ideas and have recorded thousands of song snippets on my devices. However, the real difficulty lies in finishing a song. That’s where collaboration comes in. I would love to work with a producer or someone with a producer’s ear to help bring my ideas to fruition and complete the creative process. In terms of collaborations, I’m particularly drawn to working with singers. I’ve had a blast working with Mesa (Robert Owen) in my rock band, Big High, and I would relish the opportunity to work with someone like Alicia Keys, especially if they’re experiencing writer’s block or feeling creatively stuck. At the end of the day, I believe that there are infinite possibilities for creating music, and I’m eager to explore as many of them as possible. Like a volcano, an artist’s output is often explosive and powerful, but what goes on beneath the surface, the process of creation and the experiences that inform it, is often hidden view. Like an iceberg, the majority of the artist’s work and life are hidden from public view. Like a screen on a computer with only a small portion of what is inside for the visible to the world. It’s a good analogy as to why we don’t reward the depth and complexity of the artistic process enough in the world.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>9. What has been the most difficult thing you’ve had to endure in your life or music career so far?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>ARI JOSHUA: </strong>The hardest part is the widespread inequity compared to other professions. The musicians of the world are my friends. I know these people as well as anyone. As a person who has devoted my entire life to music, it is really hard to watch as fellow artists are left behind by the political and social dynamics we live in. There are really no lobbyists I know of advocating for any kind of rights or update of the laws we have protecting creators. It’s disheartening to witness the lack of advocacy for the basic rights of musicians, including the absence of minimum wage protections. Where are the gold standards? Even the most successful artists should be compensated far more for their hard work and dedication to their craft. Those at the bottom of the industry, even the most talented need day jobs to raise families. The music industry is broken, and it’s a shame that the value of music has been so devalued and incorporated into other industries. Although we may be moving in a positive direction, my generation has been dealt a difficult hand to play with. The streaming services pay so little while enjoying huge tech-level valuations and even more so as AI takes over. Building an audience has become a significant challenge due to people being so wrapped up in their phones and home entertainment. I think there was a greater widespread appreciation of touring and recording artists in the 1990’s. Despite these challenges though, I am hopeful that we can find a ways to build strong and loyal audiences for music and continue to push for the rights and fair compensation that musicians deserve. I think the fans and consumers are past the point of no return and realize they can’t keep just consuming the music for free forever, it would lead to no more giants. It’s counter intuitive to what humans and fans actually want. So I think we will see it turn around.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>10. On the contrary, what would you consider a successful, proud or significant point in your life or music career so far?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> I am humbled an over-whelmed by the success of The Music Factory. We have now taught tens of thousands of lessons, employed countless artists, and are a permanent fixture in the Seattle community raising a new generation of musical humans. I super proud of that. I am also proud that I was able to follow through with the big plan I had so any years ago trying to make a sustainable model to create in. I am more excited now about making music than ever before. Collaborating with some of my musical heroes, recording in great studios, with great engineers, and just searching for expressive and innovative sounds – it’s all just amazing. I have always had music happening, but it’s taken a while to really focus and get my head straight. There were certainly some bumps in the road, some really challenging stuff, but I feel like I’ve emerged from all of that with a new level of clarity and drive. With all of these new releases on the horizon, I am just thrilled to be making such great things happen. The art, the music, the creativity – it’s all just coming together in such an incredible way. I can’t wait for the world to hear it all and am excited to find the folks that resonate with my purpose and my art. They are out there! The algorithm, and the popularity side of the thing isn’t my cup of tea, but I have found a niche where I can focus on the art and myself, and what’s important to my dreams and my muse.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>11. With social media having a heavy impact on our lives and the music business in general, how do you handle criticism, haters, and/or naysayers in general? Is it something you pay attention to, or simply ignore?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> I have a coach who taught me the acronym F.E.A.R. – ‘false evidence appearing real’. I spent too many years and hours and minutes concerned about what people were feeling or saying. 90% of the time the stuff I felt wasn’t even based on reality but was imagined. And even if it was real I have learned to use it as a sign that there is another direction that the universe is empowering me to go. It’s not easy work to do, humans tend to focus on that hurt feeling, but there is a world out there of options. I think it’s natural for these things to come and go, but I advise people who struggle with this to separate out what is imagined and what is real, and the accept that you can’t really control a certain amount if what others do or say. If there is a thing you can fix about yourself, focus on that instead, or if it really is just noise, focus on where your heart feels loved, heard, and where your art wants to take you.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>12. Creative work in a studio or home environment, or interaction with a live audience? Which of these two options excites you most, and why?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> I prefer a live audience. As a musician, there’s nothing quite like the energy of a live audience, but over time I’ve grown to appreciate the studio more and more. It’s a different kind of creativity and challenge. I’m really excited about all the amazing projects I’m working on right now. I’ve been collaborating with some incredible musicians like Joe Doria, Delvon Lamarr, Skerik, John Medeski, Billy Martin, John Kimock, and members of Soule Mode and Trey Anastasio Band. While I wish I had someone to handle the business side of things and book shows so we can do more live playing, for now, I’m content to focus on the studio work. I’m grateful for the opportunity to provide music lessons for the next generations and to handle the behind-the-scenes internal and external work. Hopefully, as my audience grows, we’ll be able to bring our music to more people in a live setting. That will be an incredible experience. I love to work on a high level, but also if there are any artists looking for someone to take on a run of shows, I would love to see if I can join them.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>13. Do you think is it important for fans of your music to understand the real story and message driving each of your songs, or do you think everyone should be free to interpret your songs in their own personal way?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>ARI JOSHUA:</strong> Let the consumer decide. If they want to understand the story, they can ask, or look for the story. If they have their own interpretation that’s great too. The main thing is if they like it for whatever reason that is beautiful. An artist should create music that speaks to them and that they believe in, whether or not the audience fully grasps the intended message. At the end of the day, it’s all about personal connection and enjoyment. Whether a listener chooses to understand the story behind a song or create their own interpretation, the music should take the listeners somewhere. I mean sometimes, even the musician themselves may not understand or remember the inspiration behind a song, and that’s okay. As long as the music is genuine and connects with the audience, it can be a powerful force. Ultimately, what matters most is that the music resonates with the listener on some level and provides an emotional or intellectual connection. Anyways thanks so much for talking and hanging out with me. If there are any readers out there that want to learn more I trust they can google me. I really love to talk about what I am so passionate about. I liked your questions. Rock n Roll. Have a good one. Blessings to all the readers too.</p>

</div><p>From <i>JazzWeekly </i>to <i>Rhythm Passport, Chunedesk, The Urban Music Scene, Music For Al, Roadie Music</i>, and various other publications, Ari Joshua is building a reputation as contagious, lively and enchanting. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, but raised in the USA, Joshua has a diverse background and experiences which are elegantly expressed in his eclectic music. Willing to experiment with genres, this notable composer and guitarist has a strong funk meets jazz sound but with soul and slightly rock-tinged arrangements. Having collaborated with iconic artists like Michel Shreive (Santana), Barrett Martin (Mad Season and Screaming Trees), Peter Buck (REM), KJ Sawka (Pendulum), Robert Glasper, and many more, Ari Joshua is considered one of the music scene’s most beloved performers. The latest addition to his discography is the single ‘Soul Mine’.</p><p>On the heels of his singles ‘Fresh’ and ‘The $1000 Question’, Ari Joshua once again collaborates with acclaimed musicians on the new single ‘Soul Mine’. Along with his dynamic guitar, Joshua is joined by Delvon Lamarr (keyboard), Grant Schroff (drums), Tor Dietrichson (percussion) and Skerik (saxophone). Previously collaborating with Lamarr, Skerik and Schroff on the well-received track ‘Fresh’, ‘Soul Mine’ is another funky, groovy and fun-filled single from these talented musicians.</p><p>Recorded with music engineers and producers Mell Dettmer, Jason Gray and Doug Krebs, ‘Soul Mine’ takes us back to the heyday of funk with the beautifully arranged instrumental song. While the instrumentation is harmonic in its funky melodic combination, it is interesting to hear each element receiving prominence before coming together in a wonderfully united whole. The keyboards and drums lay a firm foundation for the saxophone and guitar, although there is an enchanting keyboard solo making you tap your toe in time to the tune. Yet, for me, it is the saxophone that brings a true edge to ‘Soul Mine’. Standing out above the others, the sax brings a sensuality and fun to the already vivid melody – or perhaps it’s the fact that I grew up listening to Chicago and love that funk-rock style.</p><p>It is often the case that I find meaning in the lyrics of a single with the emotive quality of the voice bringing everything home. Yet, ‘Soul Mine’ proves that you can connect with audiences on an even deeper level with pure instruments. Meaning is found in this intimate connection sending my soul soaring through the vibrant musical bubble – all while dancing to the funky melody.</p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0C5cMnVFPyZwpc20oSMeLL">https://open.spotify.com/track/0C5cMnVFPyZwpc20oSMeLL</a></p><p>For more from Ari Joshua, check out his official <a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">website</a>, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook</a>, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram </a>and <a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C9Z1YhnRr08CKRSZ7nEuV" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spotify</a>.</p><p>This artist was discovered via <a class="no-pjax" href="https://app.musosoup.com/submit/TheOtherSideReviews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Musosoup </a>#sustainablecurator</p>

<br>We were fortunate enough to catch up with musician ARI JOSHUA following the superb release ‘Soulmine’. Read our in-depth interview now!</div>
<h2>Hi Ari, what is your earliest music memory?</h2>
<p>My grandmother ‘Granny Queenie’ had a record player at her house. She told me my first word was ‘Mimic’. I was trying to say music. I would point to her record player when I ran into her 3rd-floor apartment in ‘Bordeaux’ in Seapoint. My uncles bought me two presents that year. One was a fisher price record player, which I still have sitting at my music school, and the other was a teddy bear chair, also still at the school.</p>
<h2>How did you get into the music industry?</h2>
<p>I was really rebellious and emotional as a kid. Music kept me off drugs and off the street. I got good grades. I could have been anything I wanted to. I wanted to make music cause I wanted to connect to the source and to make people feel good the way the music made me feel good. I got a scholarship to The New School in NYC. It also changed my life.</p>
<h2>Who influenced your brilliant latest release, ‘Soulmine’?</h2>
<p>The players on the record directly. I have always LOVED organ jazz. Jimmy Smith, Jack Mcduff, all that. I have played with Delvon for years and always wanted to play more with him. He was on a break between tours and was able to fit this in. Skerik I have been listening to Skerik since the 90s.</p>
<p>My first guitar teacher was in his band SadHappy. The way he plays influenced what I wrote for the record. Grant as well, he is in a popular cinematic funk band. I put it all together, and it just happened.</p>
<p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0C5cMnVFPyZwpc20oSMeLL">https://open.spotify.com/track/0C5cMnVFPyZwpc20oSMeLL</a></p>
<h2>Who would you most like to collaborate with?</h2>
<p>Well, a lot of those people I am collaborating with! Skerik, Delvon, Medeski and Martin of MMW, Ray and Russ from Soule Monde and Trey’s Band. I would like to be included on some tours. Play more festivals and reach more people. I would love to play with some established bands, so I can just focus on the music. I am blessed. It is just about how I can share the music and learn more.</p>
<h2>What’s the live music scene like in Seattle in 2023?</h2>
<p>Amazing. Great players are collaborating. I am a little outside the bubble these days, just focused on composing and recording.</p>
<h2>What’s your dream venue to play?</h2>
<p>Red Rocks.</p>
<h2>Other than music, what are you passionate about?</h2>
<p>I am passionate about nature, animals, family structures, and kids and their brilliant, playful ways. I am passionate about spirituality and improving myself, and taking care of my health.</p>
<h2>What changes would you like to see in the music business?</h2>
<p>I would like to see a massive change in the industry so the tech field could include artists in the money that is earned. I would love to make a new record label or model that artists can make a living off of. As well, a lot of the services a label used to provide or that an artist would like to use are too expensive. I would like to see music more respected, and artists helped more.</p>
<h2>How do you feel about how the internet plays a role in today’s music business?</h2>
<p>You get more distribution, but it is too saturated. It seems like we are all still figuring it out. I think it’s an amazing tool, but people have been conditioned to think music is free. That is not really fair.</p>
<h2>What would it be if you could choose one thing for fans to take away from your music?</h2>
<p>LOVE.</p>
<h2>What is your favourite song to play live?</h2>
<p>Any song, really, whatever song I am playing.</p>
<h2>Have you started working on your next release?</h2>
<p>Yes, I have the next five releases roughly all finished. Excited to reach more ears, hearts and minds.</p>

FV Music Blog's Review of "SoulMine"
<p>Original Link: <a class="no-pjax" href="https://fvmusicblog.com/ari-joshua-soulmine/" target="_blank">https://fvmusicblog.com/ari-joshua-soulmine/</a></p><p><img src="https://i0.wp.com/fvmusicblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/SQ_now_Sloulmine_AriJoshua.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&ssl=1" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="1024" width="1024" />Ari Joshua – ‘Soulmine’</p><p>Seattle-based artist Ari Joshua has released the stunning single ‘Soulmine’. It is a soul release that will have you reaching for the repeat button this Spring.</p><p>A funky bass opens the release and sets the scene for what will come. Then, as additional instrumentation enters, the sonic spectrum is filled with vivid colour.</p><p>In addition, we adore the welcoming vibe that ‘Soulmine’ offers. The track has a fresh, innovative feel, and the instrumentation takes the lead effortlessly, passing the baton from one player to another.</p><p>Moreover, the piece has a luscious texture, with each player knowing when to pull out or go in hard. Finally, we adore the ever-evolving nature that keeps the piece feeling fresh and keeping the listener on their toes. One thing is for sure: ‘Soulmine’ is a single you do not want to miss this Spring!</p><h2>Musicians</h2><p>‘Soulmine’ features musicians Ari Joshua – Guitar, Skerik – Saxophone, Delvon Lamarr – Keyboards, Grant Schroff – Drums and Tor Dietrichson – Percussion. They are clearly excellent musicians in their respective fields, but the magic happens when they perform together.</p><h2>Comments</h2><p>Ari Joshua says about this release, “Working with Delvon, Skerik, and Grant has been an incredible experience; we have had a lot of good responses from our first release, ‘Fresh’, fans will also dig into ‘Soul Mine’.”</p><h2>Mixed/Mastered</h2><p>In addition, ‘Soulmine’ has been mixed by Jason Gray at Blue Mallard Recording and mastered by Doug Krebs at Doug Krebs Mastering. Together the team have done a fantastic job in creating a single that will stand the test of time.</p><h2>Artist</h2><p>One thing is for sure, Ari Joshua is an artist who stands out. He is making innovative and exciting music pushing the boundaries of jazz-soul, and we can not wait to hear what he will do next.</p><p>FVMusicBlog April 2023</p><p>This coverage is created via <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/sustainablecurator?__eep__=6&__gid__=178681833505325&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZWVdqJS-nGefSFW8LWCns78A0sff1IQv_oodPBnodbkJiRxBIM0QSYMJSlaj34kA_Ws6eKxwYYnj_03Gzjr1QXxnZOrqQibhlpBA29EIN6Bpeexeo02MRU2QYmOjZmtXaUhQV7NJ0Xkty-G5fXl_1y2lirNjQOlysObyIAqVBJhl-8Lnl6UTAN67zLhYRiQ_4g&__tn__=*NK-R"><u>#sustainablecurator</u></a></p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.arijoshua.com/"><u>https://www.arijoshua.com</u></a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/"><u>https://www.facebook.com/arijoshua/</u></a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic"><u>https://twitter.com/arijoshuamusic</u></a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/arijoshualovesyou/</u></a></p>

TJPL News Interviews Ari Joshua
<p>LET'S GET SOCIAL</p><p>Can you describe the creative process behind the latest single "Spooky," and how<br>you all came together for this project?<br>I wrote all the music just for Skerik, Delvon, and Grant. When I have a studio date I<br>usually take 1-3 weeks to write the material and I think about the cats. A few songs<br>where written and performed by myself and Delvon. As for Spooky it was a one take<br>song.<br>Ari, as the composer of "Spooky," what inspired the song, and how did you<br>approach its composition?<br>I listened to some Critters Buggin which is Skerik's band that I used to listen to<br>growing up. I sort of had some demons in my own life I was getting through and I just<br>channeled the feelings I was going through.<br>The track features an experimental psychotropic-dub-like vibe, which is a<br>departure from your previous releases. What prompted this shift in sound?<br>I am always shifting sound. I really don't fit into any boxes. I mean I fit in the the no<br>box type of box.... I mean I have a ton of music that I don't share or have not released<br>that is even more off the map, but I think people will eventually get the picture, and I<br>will continue to explore as I find my own voice.<br>With "Spooky" having such a unique and atmospheric sound, what were some<br>challenges or rewarding moments during the production process?<br>Sitting in the room with Jason Gray as he mixed the song was pretty eye opening<br>and exciting. He uses old analog stuff. It's not like most people where they click a few<br>buttons and the sound changes, he is routing the audio out of the box and into the<br>devices in his room, it's mad science. Everything he did was really musical and<br>agreeable. I love to get into it in the studio, it gets expensive, some day I hope I can<br>reap the rewards of the efforts but for now I am really just serving the music up<br>cause it feels like my duty and duty calls!</p><p>INTERVIEW</p><p>"Spooky," an all-star ensemble led<br>by composer Ari Joshua, brings<br>together internationally acclaimed<br>artists Delvon Lamarr, Skerik, Grant<br>Schroff, and Tor Dietrichson.<br>Renowned for its distinctive blend<br>of retro, atmospheric and organic<br>sounds, the group infuses its music<br>with a unique dub, psychedelic<br>feel. Ari's guitar mastery, Lamarr's<br>iconic Hammond organ, Skerik's<br>audacious saxophone, Schroff's<br>dynamic drumming, and<br>Dietrichson's percussive brilliance<br>combine to create a deeply<br>immersive sonic experience. Their<br>latest release, "Spooky," is a<br>testament to this collective's<br>innovative spirit, offering listeners a<br>unique fusion of live performance<br>and studio elements, mixed<br>masterfully by Jason Gray. This<br>band's bold experimentation and<br>commitment to pushing musical<br>boundaries set them apart in the<br>contemporary music scene.</p><p>T J P L N E W S M A</p>

Thoughts on recording Soulmine
<p style="text-align:center;">This new release Soulmine is out tomorrow. Here is a poem for it. <br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/a9e83f54289a2472daa96559439c4604a73e5065/original/sq-now-sloulmine-arijoshua.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p><p style="text-align:center;">I remember the first time I heard all these players. Each one of them I knew I’d have a great time working with. It was at least 10 years after that this recording session happened. In its first 3 days it’s been placed on 23 playlists, received about 15k spins, and earned about 4 write ups! I keep a journal where I write alot. Mostly scribbled 3 sentence concepts but I put this poem in there. </p><p style="text-align:center;">For what it’s worth I’d love to play more with these guys. I spent along time waiting for them all to reach out to me to make stuff happen, so I am so grateful this came together. Stay positive out there all you artists. Things come with time! </p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>In the depths of my heart's embrace, I feel the rhythm's passionate pace. Music, my love, my all-consuming art, A symphony that tears my soul apart.</strong></p><p><strong>With my fellow players I create, A symphony that the gods appreciate. The chords we strike, the notes we play, A melody that can never decay.</strong></p><p><strong>The joy of sharing our harmonious sound, Is a feeling that will forever be profound. Angelic whispers that fill the air, A beauty that's beyond compare.</strong></p><p><strong>My purpose, my passion, I'll never cease, A melody that will forever release. The stones I mine, the gems I find, Will create a masterpiece that's one of a kind.</strong></p><p><strong>Misread my soul if you must, But you can never tarnish my musical lust. Skerik, Delvon, Grant, and me, in one take we created a symphony of harmony.</strong></p><p><strong>On the road I would live to go, But May this music continue to flow. With this offering takes flight with wings, We gift you a piece from the Sunky Thide of Sings. </strong><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/1c0f6da8c190d160b57606a9f42e07e040b2b745/original/fb-3-31-sloulmine-arijoshua.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

<div class="yiv2559622050MsoNormal" style="box-sizing:border-box;overflow-wrap:break-word;">The latest single by guitarist Ari Joshua teams him up with drummer Russ Lawton and keyboardist Ray Paczkowski. The tune “The $1000 Question” has an analogue feel to it, featuring a funky swamp guitar riff, a down and dirty back beat and greasy Hammond Keyboard that hums through the Leslie speakers. There’s a casual jam feel to it, unrushed and unpretentious. The song doesn’t overstay its welcome, although it does beg to be taken out for a walk to stretch its legs. Belly up to the bar.</div>

<p>Guitarist and composer Ari Joshua is debuting another song from his lockdown sessions with some of the top players in the jam band and jazz-rock world with today’s premiere of “The $1,000 Question” featuring Trey Anastasio Band members <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kN2JnfTEIM"><u>Russ Lawton</u></a> and Ray Paczkowski on Joshua’s Music Factory label.</p>
<p>Operating under the name RAar, the trio have shared 13 songs, including a six-song album in 2021, with more music to be released. Lawton and Paczkowski recorded with Joshua at Tank Recording Studios in Burlington, Vt., shortly after the two played with Anastasio in New York City during his Beacon James livestream series. Lawton and Paczkowski also perform as the duo Soule Monde.</p>
<p>Last month, Joshua released “Meeting of the Minds” featuring John Medeski and Billy Martin of MMW, and in late March “Soul Mine” featuring Delvon Lamarr and Skerik will be out on Color Red Music.</p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/64cf8912fde8bec73289ba95cdf91c257122ee39/original/the-1000-question.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><div class="clear" style="clear:both !important;display:block;float:none !important;line-height:0;margin:0px;max-width:100%;overflow-wrap:break-word;padding:0px;"> </div>

The Tank, affectionately known to some as "the Phish Tank", hosted this session just after 'The Beacon Jams' sessions at the tail end of our national health crisis. The project, until further notice, is going by the acronym 'RAaR' for Ray, Ari, and Russ. Ari Joshua, the psychedelic composer, guitarist, and instrumentalist, has been sharing music from his vault since 2021, and '<a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/album/the-1000-question"><strong>The $1000 Question</strong></a>' is his latest release. This sublime blend of jam, jazz, and psychedelic rock truly embodies the trio's signature style, with the masterful skills of groove legends Russ Lawton on drums and Ray Paczkowski on Hammond organ (both of Soule Monde and The Trey Anastasio Band). 'The $1000 Question' takes listeners on an intricate and mesmerizing musical journey of funky organ breaks and spellbinding solos. Suit up and take notice, & tell it like it is. This is a sound that will likely be play-listed by a wide variety of musical aficionados from jazz lovers, funk enthusiasts, & instrumental music lovers, to van dwelling, wookie-loving, vegan grilled cheese-eating, patch work-wearing Phish and Grateful Deadheads.<br> </div><div class="image-block" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:0px;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">With its colorful retro-inspired album art and groovy sound, 'The $1000 Question' marks Ari Joshua's ninth release of 2023, a testament to his unwavering commitment to his craft and his insatiable passion for creating music that pushes the boundaries of traditional genres. In February of 2023, Ari released 'Meeting of the Minds' featuring John Medeski and Billy Martin of MMW, and in late March 'Soul Mine' featuring Delvon Lamarr and Skerik will be out on Color Red Music. With each release, Joshua continues to cement his place in what is a culmination of decades of hard work and wood shedding. According to social media teases, Soule Monde is currently working on a new album as well.<br> </div><div class="image-block" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:0px;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/10a1b06c0add1104f6d58467391882d2efbb238f/original/image.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br><br>Credits for this release go to Ben Collette and Tank Recording for tracking and mixing, Fred Kevorkian at Kevorkian Mastering for mastering, additional production by Aaron Harmonson. artwork by Martin Ontiveros, and layout by Z for Sugar Inc.<br><br>Personnel: Ari Joshua - Guitar, Russ Lawton - Drums, Ray Paczkowski - Keys.</div><div class="image-block" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:0px;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"> </div><div class="articles-topics-block" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:0px 0px 40px;orphans:2;outline:none !important;padding:0px;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><div class="articles-topics-block" style="border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;margin:0px 0px 40px;outline:none !important;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><div class="field field--name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field--type-entity-reference field--label-above" style="border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;margin:0px;outline:none !important;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><div class="field__items" style="border-width:0px;box-sizing:border-box;display:inline-block;font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">

<p>Guitarist <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.knkx.org/jazz-and-blues/2021-04-30/the-new-cool-ari-joshua-opens-his-vault-of-jazz-guitar-recordings">Ari Joshua</a> continues to release recordings from his vault of recent projects and new efforts. Most recent is the single <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=rAhxxLcIJTc" target="_blank">"Fresh,"</a> bringing Joshua and three friends from the Seattle area together for a soulful groove and the promise of more to come.</p>
<p>Color Red Music has announced two more digital singles will follow last week's release. The recordings will be released in the next two months with this same lineup of celebrated musicians. Though it's their first opportunity to record together, these musicians do share some history.</p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/18eac27a60d3d1441e96b7d0963250b20e790309/original/sq-2-24-fresh-arijoshua.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><p>Joshua has played with <a class="no-pjax" href="https://delvonlamarrorgantrio.com/" target="_blank">Delvon Lamarr</a> since before Lamarr was playing the organ. Now, the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio is one of the top selling acts in instrumental music. The guitarist has been a fan of <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.skerikmusic.com/" target="_blank">Skerik</a> long before sharing the stage. Joshua also noted his luck at landing the busy <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.knkx.org/jazz-and-blues/2017-08-25/the-new-cool-polyrhythmics-erupting-again">Polyrhythmics</a> drummer Grant Schroff for this recording session.</p>
<p>"Every member of this band travels a lot," Joshua explained. "It's magic that it came together, I hope the listeners enjoy the results."</p>
<p>The connections between these musicians made it easy. Schroff also has history with Lamarr, drumming on the DLO3's 2011 album <i>I Told You So</i>. When their busy schedules allowed, these four have worked together in various settings in the past decade.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, complicated travel schedules lend some uncertainty to the lineup celebrating the new single at the <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.seamonsterlounge.com/?fbclid=IwAR0-0x9TbJQtm5Gr5SheouAlTHRbRCSSl1BOsaztjW7EeA6OHwko2WwckiE" target="_blank">Seamonster Lounge</a> in Wallingford, Thursday, March 9. Billed as <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/2471109053046304" target="_blank">Ari Joshua & Friends</a>, Joshua told The New Cool that he's working on the personnel for the show as of press time.</p>
<p>There's no doubt that whichever of these three friends can make it, and whomever else finds their way on stage with Joshua, it's sure to be a good time. That's the idea as these four bring a modern energy to the classic organ quartet on the new single "Fresh."</p>
<p>Schroff's pocket-packing drum beat kicks in with Joshua's wah-wah rhythm guitar and Lamarr's organ backing. Then Skerik lays out the central melody of "Fresh" on tenor saxophone before the solos get passed around.</p>
<p>Joshua takes off first with a distorted fusion sound buzzing toward a soulful solo run from Skerik, putting his particular twist on a sound reminiscent of sax greats like Houston Person and Pee Wee Ellis. Lamarr's smooth turn on the organ brings us back to the song's theme and Schroff's steady hand guides them home.</p>
<p>The bright recording dances with the nostalgic organ jazz tradition while subtly energizing the music with a modern perspective adding just enough attitude to keep it fresh, as the song's title demands.</p>
<p>Listen for "Fresh" on the New Cool Friday night and leave yourself time to recover from the concert March 9.</p>
<p>Skerik will also be performing at Seamonster March 11 as <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/592299102747655" target="_blank">Crack Sabbath</a> with organist Ron Weinstein and drummer Mike Stone , the late show begins after a 10pm set from DJ Woogie.</p>
<p>Joshua will explore his more traditional jazz side with a quartet and vocalist Chava Mirel at a soon-to-be-announced show at the <a class="no-pjax" href="https://theroyalroomseattle.com/" target="_blank">Royal Room</a> April 9<br><br><i>The New Cool airs Fridays at 9 p.m., hosted by Abe Beeson and produced by KNKX Public Radio in Seattle, Washington. </i></p>

Earshot Jazz - For the RECORD
<p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.earshot.org/project/2023-03-ari-joshua-meeting-of-the-minds/" data-link-type="url">https://www.earshot.org/project/2023-03-ari-joshua-meeting-of-the-minds/</a></p><p><strong>The Music Factory Label, February 2023</strong></p><p>BY M.V. SMITH</p><p>Best known as the founder of Madison Park’s Music Factory music school, guitarist <a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Ari Joshua </strong></a>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 Green in a funky organ combo featuring saxophonist <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.skerikmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Skerik </strong></a>and <a class="no-pjax" href="https://delvonlamarrorgantrio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Delvon Lamarr</strong> </a>on B3, while “Contact,” a 2022 track featuring Joshua’s college classmates<strong> </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.robertglasper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Robert Glasper</strong></a> and <a class="no-pjax" href="https://jasonfraticelli.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Jason Fraticelli</strong> </a>on keyboards and bass respectively, transitions from the rhythmic propulsion of fusion-era Miles to looser Hendrix-influenced rock. Joshua has also developed alliances with luminaries from the jam band scene, partnering with Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio’s solo band on a series of recordings that range from Widespread Panic-style blues rock to tongue-in-cheek waltzes and off-kilter funk.</p><p>Thirty years ago, the trio of keyboardist<a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.johnmedeski.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <strong>John Medeski</strong></a>, drummer <a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.billymartin.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Billy Martin</strong></a>, and bassist Chris Wood were pioneers of a similarly eclectic inside-out mix, straddling the jazz and jam band worlds like no other group of their era. On <i>Meeting of The Minds, </i>Medeski and Martin join Joshua and his old friend Fraticelli in a sprawling, meditative improvisation whose full-stereo spaciousness (think washes of organ or bowed bass swirling from speaker to speaker) recalls Miles’s “He Loved Him Madly.”</p><p>The performances on <i>Meeting of The Minds </i>prioritize in-the-moment interaction, with no one player taking precedence over the others. Near-ambient textural passages coalesce into laid-back soul jazz grooves and oblique evocations of Cuban music, punctuated by the shifting moods of a recurring organ motif from Medeski — initially tentative and atmospheric; a thick, churchy roar towards the climax. </p><p>Joshua largely eschews traditional lead lines throughout, emulating the liquid tone and shifting pitches of a pedal steel guitar, or exploring his instrument’s percussive capabilities, manipulating his muted scrapes and strums with a wah pedal in a clever approximation of a güiro. The other players employ a similarly wide dynamic range. Medeski skitters across the piano keys like Cecil Taylor, jabs them like Monk, and delves into extended techniques, scraping the piano strings to create shimmering glissandi. Martin’s drumming is propulsive, elastic, and inventive — keeping up a near-constant pulse without feeling busy; incorporating gentle washes of maracas or the tender swirl of his fingers across the drum heads. Double bassist Fraticelli functions as an anchor, lending weight to the exploratory passages with his earthy tone, or digging into lengthy vamps to heighten the tension of the grooves.</p><p>While several of Joshua’s releases capture the energy of close-quarters improvisation, <i>Meeting of The Minds </i>deliberately captures the parts of that process other recordings might leave out — the players noodling to limber up, running questions by the engineer, Joshua unplugging his guitar at the end — to provide multiple perspectives on the same raw materials. The Spotify version, for instance, features the session in its entirety, cut into four parts, and excerpted into two dozen fragments. Throw it into shuffle and the snippets are musical palate cleansers. Or, pair the full-length version and your favorite headphones to luxuriate in the immaculate sonic detail. Twist my arm and I vote for the latter, but choose your own adventure.</p>

<p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.com/"><span>Ari Joshua</span></a><span> is a jazz, rock, experimental, and improv musician known for his bell-like tone, lush and impressionistic chord voicings, and fiery improvisations with psychedelic-like sprawl. The South-African born, Seattle-raised guitarist for this series offers these reflections: “It’s said over and over that it is a true artist’s purpose to discover their own voice. To do so often takes risks, and requires courage, patience, and an ability to look fear head on. Being at the crest of that wave can mean being misunderstood at first… but eventually truth is undeniable. Jazz is truth, transcending barriers, a language of the soul, the mind, and the heart.”</span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://www.gratefulweb.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/dsdsds.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Meeting of the Minds" height="746" width="746" /><i><strong>Meeting of the Minds</strong></i></p>
<p>“The inspiration and creative process for this album evolved as it was happening. I composed a fresh set of 20 new songs one week before the recording date, which is something I tend to do, but while we were together in the room, we found a lot of joy through improvising and being present in the moment. There was even a phrase flying around the room at the time, ‘You gotta let that dove fly.’ In other words, settle in with the imperfections of the art, and embrace the fact that as long as you are honest and raw, you will discover something more amazing than you had planned. This album is a free expression album. I think everyone in the room was able to take risks and was completely supported and listened to. I was able to embrace tones I never knew I could make, from whale calls to various sounds that came out that sounded nothing like the instrument.”</p>
<p><strong>Collaboration with Billy Martin, John Medeski, & Jason Fraticelli</strong></p>
<p>“I first asked John and Billy if they would be able to make music together many years ago when I was in college. I was in New York and would see them at Tonic and other various clubs in the city. They were playing a wide variety of rooms, and I resonated with what they were doing, and what they were saying musically. I was a big dreamer, even back then. I was young and trying to do everything I could. I would check in with John every so often and share my recordings with him, but this one particular time— the stars aligned. I had some gigs and family in New York, and it all just clicked into place. This song in particular, “Meeting of The Minds,” is a snapshot of the first notes we played together as a quartet. I even left the dialogue there in some sections.”</p>

<p><strong>Deep Waters</strong></p>
<p>“To be honest, I knew these guys were deep waters, but there are certain things one can only learn through osmosis. We are all influenced by similar artists, so there was some solid ground. Billy is a force of nature, a creative supernova. He is a feeling guy, with a really deep concept. Pretty much everything he said resonated with me. It seems that he really wants to lean into the unknown. He wants to create genuinely expressive art. We tried out material from the pile of songs I had, and then we would do one to three takes, making sure there is a 50/50 mix of improvisation and composition. Billy, John and Jason were all like, ‘Hey, we are all here. Let’s do what we do!’”</p>
<p><strong>Applehead Recording, Woodstock, NY</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://www.gratefulweb.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/JasonFraticelli.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Jason Fraticelli" height="680" width="510" /><i><strong>Jason Fraticelli</strong></i></p>
<p>“The session was at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, New York. The studio is a one-of-a-kind, really special place. The owner lives on the property, as well as the engineer. It’s a big barn with a mix of old and new construction. The control room almost has a Star Trek shape and feel to it. Jason Fraticelli was the first to arrive at the studio. He was playing with Cyro Baptista in Boston, and it was on his way home to Pennsylvania. Jason and I have played together for years, and he collaborated with me on some amazing recordings from a while back that I have been releasing. I love that guy. He impacted the session by giving me a sense that there was someone there who understood me and supported the trajectory.” </p>

<p><strong>Meeting of the Minds Artwork </strong></p>

<p>“The artwork was created by one of my dearest friends, Burgandy Viscosi. She is a genius, if I can say so, and she is really tuned in to the cosmic. Everyone absolutely must check out her art. She has painted a few murals at my music school, The Music Factory, and she also has a mural at Alex and Allison Grey’s new facility, The COSM (Chapel of Sacred Mirrors). Alex and Allison are also two of the most brilliant artists alive today, and Burgandy was able to set me up with a personal tour of their property. That tour was part of the album’s flavor. To see their two story paintings, and learn about their ideas— Meeting of The Minds, the artwork, the barn, the players, and who they are— it all melted into a flavor, a taste, and a sound. To be clear, this album of 27 tracks is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what we did in the few days we had. This is just the introduction. Maybe 5% of all that really happened in the session. It’s like a handshake, or a first impression. It is the launchpad, and the foundation.”</p>

<p><strong>Setting the Tone</strong></p>

<p>“You know when you meet someone, or a group of people, and you just hit it off, like you can tell that it is going to work, and that it is going to be a lot of fun? This was like that. I think a lot of what made us able to meet there, and create right out of the gate was the spirit of the music, and the spirit of all the great artists who came before us. Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, even Picasso, and Van Gogh— each of them with their own unique voice. That spirit is what Billy and John facilitate, and have so prolifically been able to contribute. We opened up the rabbit hole and jumped in. I don’t think we even planned for it to be recorded, but as we were sound checking, we were uncovering some great stuff. It really set the tone for the next few days. We played it back and Chris Bittner looked at me, and we were both like, ‘Alright, this works!’ I am so excited to share this first taste of the quartet and look forward to sharing more.” </p>

<p><strong>Purpose, Mission, and Vision</strong></p>
<p>“My mission is to seek the truth and to take the lessons I have learned from the masters, my family, my ancestors, and from human history— and to find my path from there. I believe that there is profound magic and power in music, and that we live in a society that is struggling to find its own purpose and identity. I think we live in a world where we still need to fight for things that are good, wholesome, and universally key to the collective well-being. My dream is to facilitate music education everywhere, while providing good paying jobs for artists. I want to create, and I want to find people who I resonate with. I want to play from my heart, and for that to resonate with other people who are like me. When I was a kid, I watched artists play and listened to music on records and tapes, and it made me feel alive. I felt like I understood something deep and meaningful. I want to be able to do that for others. Now I can say, ‘Yeah, I am capable of doing that,’ which is really a victory in itself, but there is so much more that I want to do. I want to find the right people who resonate and understand. I want to carry the torch, so to speak, and to be a course of light, and to be a channel for the good energy that is out there in abundance. My vision is to do this as efficiently as possible while I am alive.”</p>
<p><strong>Creativity and Spirituality</strong></p>
<div style="border-style:none;border-width:0pt;box-sizing:border-box;font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;height:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;width:250px;" id="google_ads_iframe_/1254144,22718022065/gratefulweb_com-large-leaderboard-2_0__container__"> </div>
<p>“I create because it helps me resonate with my soul and with the souls of other people. When I create, I feel as though I am communicating or resonating with entities that are not physically tangible. With a group setting like this, and with other players who are experienced, there is an element of conversation, and with that comes a sense of being heard. It is a practice in listening. The things we are listening for are partly musical, and on the surface, it would seem as though it’s just about the notes, keys and rhythms, but there is so much more. It becomes therapeutic, to both the creators and the listeners. There are so many personal reasons for why I create that I can’t even begin to detail, but when I was a young kid I had a lot of steam to blow off. I used sports at first, then later when I discovered music, everything clicked. Playing music allows me to rise above words and thoughts. It allows me to go beyond that, and get directly to the feeling.”</p>

<p><strong>Learning From The Masters</strong></p>
<p>“When I learn from the masters, I listen and imitate. I try to access the feeling that they were accessing. You can never really know exactly what that is, but you can get close. When I play my music, I am trying to connect to the source. When I connect to the source, the music, notes, rhythms— there is a subtle way that you can tune in, which allows the flow to come in a way that is almost transcendental. You are receiving a story and telling a story— a story that is really open to interpretation. It can be both the most complex and simple thing. It’s like the blues. It can be painful and ugly, and euphoric and beautiful, all at the same time. When I play music, I feel like I am giving back. I am sharing something that the world needs, while also healing and receiving something that I need so much.”</p>
<p><strong>Outside of Music? Mostly More Music</strong></p>
<div style="border-style:none;border-width:0pt;box-sizing:border-box;font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;height:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;width:300px;" id="google_ads_iframe_/1254144,22718022065/gratefulweb_com-leader-2_0__container__"> </div>
<p>“I founded a music school for kids and adults over a decade ago. I get a lot of joy watching folks of all ages learn music. I feel like music is my purpose. All the recordings I produce, and the kids I see growing— it’s like planting seeds and growing gardens. I love to be in nature, and traveling. I love warm weather, and taking time to reset. If I am stuck at home, I spend a lot of time resting now. From age 14 to 30, I pushed super hard, even too hard at times. I used to practice 5-10 hours a day, but I don't enjoy it like I used to. Now, I am trying to figure out how to fit into the world as a human. I have been doing a lot of journaling, and something that I will open up more about in the coming years is learning about addiction, recovery, and mental health. I love to listen to great talks and think about philosophy.”</p>
<p><strong>How do you know a project is complete? </strong> </p>

<div style="border-style:none;border-width:0pt;box-sizing:border-box;font-family:Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;height:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;width:300px;" id="google_ads_iframe_/1254144,22718022065/gratefulweb_com-large-mobile-banner-2_0__container__"> </div>
<p>“Well, I am the king of not finishing things. I love to start things, but I have learned that there are people who get ideas and start things, and then there are people who take that idea and finish. While I am getting so much better at finishing, I love to collaborate with people so I can watch and listen to their processes. Once I have spent around $2000 on a single piece of music, I know I need to at least start to think about wrapping it up. You can see why that could be a problem. I have 300 tracks that I need to finish, and I just can’t afford to get it all out there, but once you put all the paint on the page, and then you do the mixing and overdubs— and there is a whole art to that— then you find the album artwork and you pick a date. My dream is to someday be able to hire and work with a team who can help me share more music.”</p>

<p><strong>Like a Volcano</strong></p>
<p>“Every single human is unique in their own way, and is capable of more than they imagine. What sets me apart is my story, and the time I have dedicated to playing my instrument, and to sharing the gift of music. I was born in Cape Town, South Africa. We moved to the states, whereas legal aliens, I went from New York, to Pennsylvania, to Seattle, Washington. In the 90’s, I witnessed the grunge music explosion from ground zero, as well as seeing the start of Phish, and the later years of The Grateful Dead. I was able to see all the living jazz legends, to meet them, and to study with many of them in NYC. I was able to really mature during what I would call a strange time in the art world. I am persistent and steady in my pursuit of happiness through the arts. When performing, recording and touring weren’t providing the fruits I thought they would, I opened a music school. I am as dedicated to the arts as I can possibly be, and I also know I have so much more inside myself to offer. When I play music I get a tingly euphoric feeling, one I have found that a lot of other creators and humans feel. The feeling is a gift, but it is one that many don’t understand and cannot see. I am in the unique position of being halfway through life, with a dynamic history of pleasures and pains propelling me forward. I have a lot of dreams to get to, and a lot to say. I feel like a volcano that is full of melting liquid, the stuff of substance, and I am ready to leak it out.”</p>

<p>“At this moment? I am alive, and I am here, and I feel a depth of clarity. I know what I want, and I know a thousand ways not to do things. For example, I am not wealthy in the material sense. I am doing the work. I have the knowledge to keep going, and the wisdom to know that I don’t really have a choice. I have put in at least 50,000 hours to move in the direction that I want to go. I have invested a lot of time thinking in certain ways that I now realize no longer serve me, and I am ready to continue moving forward in the best ways I know how, despite the fact that it can and will be incredibly frustrating and hard. This is the most memorable and proudest moment right now.”</p>

<p><strong>The Music Factory</strong></p>
<p>“The Music Factory is a music school that teaches life lessons through music. The building we have now is physically based in Seattle, WA, but we also offer lessons online and through zoom. We have been a brand for 20 years and we have been offering music lessons for at least 15 years. We have taught over 70,000 lessons (between 70k and 100k) and employed over 50 local artists. We teach lessons to students of all ages, levels, and styles. Students anywhere on the planet can access the knowledge of our staff, and around 15% are online. I am open to growing, building, expanding, and anyone interested in teaching, or in an internship in PR or marketing, or if you want to open a franchise for example, you can email us at <a class="no-pjax" href="mailto:info@musicfactorynw.com">info@musicfactorynw.com</a>, or sign up at <a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.musicfactorynw.com/sing-up">www.musicfactorynw.com/sing-up</a>. Our way of teaching is to meet each student where they are. Our teachers are capable of teaching anyone from total beginners to the most advanced students. We focus not only on the mechanics and rudiments of the medium, but also on building mentorships. I would encourage anyone that is interested in learning music, or if you have kids or friends that want to learn, call or email us. Also, if you believe in the mission of music and what I stand for based on the music I am making, streaming my music and supporting my mission that way is a great way to participate.”</p>

<div class="yiv5807218440MsoNormal" style="box-sizing:border-box;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Guitarist Ari Joshua teams up with groovemeisters John Medeski/key, Billy Martin/dr and Jason Fraticelli for a soul/jazz version of punk rock, with each tune a catchy 1-2 minutes of power before moving on to the next piece.</div>
<div class="yiv5807218440MsoNormal" style="box-sizing:border-box;overflow-wrap:break-word;">There are 27, count ‘em, 27 songs in all, and they come and go like windows on a train. There are four versions of the title piece, with a mix of tapes and militaristic drums working around brooding keys. Eerie and effects pass by on “Beyond The Vail” and the ominous “Let There Be Light” with some space cadet tones floating into The Neutral Zone on “Floating In The Void”. Wind chimes and crystal sounds float around on “Ghost Convention” while the percussion scrambles around like loose mercury on “The Bog”. The team digs into the funky “Tooth and Nail” and get chunky on the funky “Celestial Navigation” with noodles flying around like a soup kitchen on “Connection Granted and “The Meeting Begins”. Lots of clever ideas, enough to stick to the walls long enough to try stretching them out a bit next time. Pencil sketches of songs to come?</div>

<p>about</p>
<p>“Meeting of The Minds” 27 Tracks - out February 9th, 2023. “MOTM” features Billy Martin on drums, John Medeski on keyboards, Ari Joshua on guitar, and bassist for Cyro Baptista and Matisyahu – Jason Fraticelli. The record was tracked in Woodstock, New York. “MOTM” is just a small window into the unique body of work recorded on this session. The tile inspired by the album art by visionary artist Burgundy Viscosi.</p>
<p>Quote;</p>
<p>“You gotta let those doves fly, in Woodstock, there are doves painted on everything and that was the theme of the week. It was a really beautiful experience to record with John and Billy. ‘Meeting of The Minds’ is the raw first notes we played, we just let the birds fly. They were really generous with letting me into their worlds. I had a moment while grabbing coffee after all was wrapped, Burgandy who did the artwork has a mural at COSM and I got an invite from her to visit with Alex Grey at his house out there, it was pretty mind-blowing. Everything was lining up, I sent a text to my friend and mentor Michael Shrieve who played at Woodstock, it was really special. I am excited to let these doves fly.” - A. Joshua</p>

<p><strong>Musical Style: </strong>Soul, Funk, Jamband</p>
<p><strong>Music Influences:</strong> Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, Trey Anastasio Band, Soule Monde, Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, Phish, Medeski Martin and Wood, Grant Green, Kenny Burrell, The New Mastersounds, James Brown, Dr Lonnie Smith, Soulive, Skerik</p>
<p><strong>Music Inspiration:</strong> Studying and playing with the masters in NYC, listening to old records and learning the music by ear. Huge fan of the Organ Trio. The session got booked with Skerik, and Delvon Lamarr, and at the time Delvon was touring heavily. We have about a weeks notice, and I wrote the album. Inspiration was in the air I guess.</p>
<p><strong>Artist Statement:</strong> This was one of those effortless sessions. The players are all fantastic and it was a good olde time. Mel the engineer, her husband, Mamadu, cooked us some amazing food, and we knocked it out in about two days. The hardest part was getting Delvon's Organ down the muddy hill in the rain. Them things are heavy!<br><br><strong>Track Description</strong>: TBD</p>

<p>Experimental multi-genre guitarist and composer <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/band/ari-joshua">Ari Joshua</a> new single, “Meeting of The Minds P4” debuts exclusively via JamBase. The song featuring keyboardist <strong>John Medeski</strong>, drummer <strong>Billy Martin</strong> and bassist <strong>John Fraticelli</strong> (Cyro Baptista, Matisyahu), serves as part of the title track to Joshua’s forthcoming studio album that will be released tomorrow, Thursday, February 9 on <a class="no-pjax" href="https://arijoshua.bandcamp.com/album/meeting-of-the-minds-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Music Factory Records</a>.</p>
<p>“The inspiration and creative process for this album evolved as it was happening,” Ari Joshua stated. “I composed a fresh set of 20 new songs one week before the recording date, which is something I tend to do, but while we were together in the room, we found a lot of joy through improvising and being present in the moment. There was even a phrase flying around the room at the time, ‘You gotta let that dove fly.’ In other words, settle in with the imperfections of the art, and embrace the fact that as long as you are honest and raw, you will discover something more amazing than you had planned.”</p>

<p><i>Meeting Of The Minds</i> is a collection of 27 segments that document the first notes the group ever played together. The album was recorded at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, New York, and the title was conceived by the album art of visual artist Burgundy Viscosi.</p>
<p>“I strive to create visions that help awaken humanity to our collective consciousness through color, intention and play,” Viscosi added.</p>

Haylee Farrell of NYS Music's Review of "Eye Just Called, To Soul, I Love You"
<p>Original Link: <a class="no-pjax" href="https://nysmusic.com/2023/02/03/ari-joshua-john-kimock-andy-hess-and-eden-ladin-release-eye-just-called-to-soul-i-love-you/" target="_blank">https://nysmusic.com/2023/02/03/ari-joshua-john-kimock-andy-hess-and-eden-ladin-release-eye-just-called-to-soul-i-love-you/</a></p><p>Ari Joshua, John Kimock, Andy Hess, And Eden Ladin Release “Eye Just Called, To Soul, I Love You”<br>By Haylee Farrell On Feb 3, 2023</p><p><br>Ari Joshua, John Kimock, Andy Hess, and Eden Ladin have collaborated to release supergroup vibe “Eye Just Called, To Soul, I Love You” out on January 26th. Recorded in Brooklyn, the track is raw, visceral, and tends to be refreshingly honest. </p><p><img src="https://nysmusic.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Eye-Just-Called-to-Soul-I-Love-You-Ari-Joshua-John-Kimock-Andy-Hess-Eden-Ladin.PNG-768x764.jpeg?ezimgfmt=rs:761x757/rscb1/ng:webp/ngcb1" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Ari Joshua, John Kimock, Andy Hess, and Eden Ladin Release “Eye Just Called, To Soul, I Love You”" /></p><p> “Eye Just Called to Soul, I Love You” features bassist Andy Hess (Black Crowes, John Scofield, Gov’t Mule), drummer John Morgan Kimock (Mike Gordon Band, Oteil & Friends), internationally acclaimed piano man Eden Ladin. Lat but not least, leading the charge, guitarist Ari Joshua (Big High, Space Owl, Hathead). <br><img src="https://nysmusic.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bunkerstudio5.jpg?ezimgfmt=rs:666x585/rscb1/ng:webp/ngcb1" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="Ari Joshua, John Kimock, Andy Hess, and Eden Ladin Release “Eye Just Called, To Soul, I Love You”" /></p><p>“EJCTS ILU” is the debut release from this memorable & inaugural all-star session, giving us another taste from the comet of sound coming from Music Factory Records to start off the new year. The almost 7-minute improv track documents the first time this band has ever played together, period. <br><img src="https://nysmusic.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bunkerstudio1-768x675.jpg?ezimgfmt=rs:761x668/rscb1/ng:webp/ngcb1" class="size_l justify_inline border_" alt="Ari Joshua, John Kimock, Andy Hess, and Eden Ladin Release “Eye Just Called, To Soul, I Love You”" /></p><p>2022 was a productive year for Ari Joshua with 12 new releases to share. With a range from classic jazz, to experimental, to drum n bass, to jam band, to classic soul funk, to circus music, to cinematic through composed classical-like compositions, Ari’s creative flow is astonishing. <br> </p><div class="video-container size_xl justify_center" style=""><iframe data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="r9zWy11k_KA" data-video-thumb-url="" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r9zWy11k_KA?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><p>When asked about this session he shared, “These are players I really admire, I had a vision, & I spoke to John, then Andy, and then Eden, and it sort of just came into fruition. My friends from college Aaron Nevize, and John Davis actually opened up The Bunker Studio in Brooklyn as we were all graduating. It’s just lasted all these years, and I called them up trying to get a date. It’s a miracle everyone was available amongst their busy schedules, and the studio was open. I am very lucky we made it work. The stars aligned and it was a fun and easy hang. We also played some Dead tunes, Eyes of the World, and Help on The Way, but the general focus was on making something new happen.” <br>On all the music that is on its way, Ari remarks, “Great art is an expression of the soul, and a reflection of one’s life experience. Being a musician is also like being what I would call an ambassador of goodwill. I think great players can sense that, and it becomes a compass of making great art together. I get a lot of joy from sharing these recordings and performing, it’s transformative. It is my mission in this life to give back in any capacity possible, to explore all options, and to honor the legends that came before and what they did for me and for so many. Music is the universal language, it has healing mystical qualities, it has both saved my life, and given me purpose. I am proud of the work I have contributed to music education, and in the woodshed practicing. After a lot of just living life, it is time to shine, and share what light I can with the music.” </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="https://nysmusic.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bunkerstudio5.jpg?ezimgfmt=rs:666x585/rscb1/ng:webp/ngcb1" class="size_m justify_center border_" alt="Ari Joshua, John Kimock, Andy Hess, and Eden Ladin Release “Eye Just Called, To Soul, I Love You”" /></p>

<p><strong>1) February 9 – “Meeting of the Minds” – featuring <a contents="John Medeski" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.johnmedeski.com" target="_blank">John Medeski</a>, <a contents="Billy Martin" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.billymartin.net" target="_blank">Billy Martin</a>, Ari Joshua, Jason Fraticelli </strong></p>
<p>JamBase will be premiering Ari Joshua’s track called “Meeting of The Minds” this February. “MOTM” features <a contents="Billy Martin" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.billymartin.net" target="_blank">Billy Martin</a> on drums, <a contents="John Medeski&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.johnmedeski.com" target="_blank">John Medeski </a>on keyboards, Ari Joshua on guitar, and bassist for <a contents="Cyro Baptista" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.cyrobaptista.com" target="_blank">Cyro Baptista</a> and<a contents=" Matisyahu" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://matisyahuworld.com" target="_blank"> Matisyahu</a> – Jason Fraticelli. The record was tracked in Woodstock, New York. “MOTM” is just a small window into the unique body of work recorded on this session. Artwork by visionary artist <a contents="Burgandy Viscosi" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.burgandyviscosi.com" target="_blank">Burgandy Viscosi</a>. </p>
<p>“You gotta let those doves fly, in Woodstock, there are doves painted on everything and that was the theme of the week. It was a really beautiful experience to record with John and Billy. ‘Meeting of The Minds’ is the raw first notes we played, we just let the birds fly. They were really generous with letting me into their worlds. I had a moment while grabbing coffee after all was wrapped, Burgandy who did the artwork has a mural at COSM and I got an invite from her to visit with Alex Grey at his house out there, it was pretty mind-blowing. Everything was lining up, I sent a text to my friend and mentor Michael Shrieve who played at Woodstock, it was really special. I am excited to let these doves fly.” </p>
<p><strong>2) January 17 – “The Clinic” – featuring Ray Paczkowski and Russ Lawton </strong></p>
<p>Ari Joshua’s adventurous and recognizable guitar tone is a unique compliment to<a contents=" Soule Monde" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://soulemonde.com" target="_blank"> Soule Monde</a> and Trey Anastasio Band keyboardist <a contents="Ray Paczkowski&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.instagram.com/raypaczkowski/?hl=en" target="_blank">Ray Paczkowski </a>and drummer <a contents="Russ Lawton" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://russlawton.com" target="_blank">Russ Lawton</a>. In this song, Russ’s therapeutically soulful beat pulses right out of the kit and into your heart, intertwining with Ray and Ari’s salacious melodies and grooves. This trio consistently delivers the goods this being their 11th release. “The Clinic” is a reference to when the song was recorded, a few weeks after the legendary “Beacon Jams” fundraiser. Artwork by Rimbaraw. </p>
<p>“The pandemic provided obstacles but it also created opportunities. It was a lemons-to-lemonade moment for sure. Ray and Russ have a deep vibe. At times I thought, I never heard them play exactly like this before. It shows you how incredible they are as players. They are just all in when it comes to making art together. They could read my mind a little, they are really sweet people. I gotta thank Trey for playing a role in creating a protocol, it really saved me, I quarantined, walked into the clinic, waited for results, and then boom, straight to the studio. Ben Collette was also very helpful in making this music, his studio has that reclaimed barn thing going on, Vermont is a real hang.” </p>
<p><strong>3) January 7 – “The Prodigy” – featuring R<a contents="ay Paczkowski" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.instagram.com/raypaczkowski/?hl=en" target="_blank">ay Paczkowski</a> and<a contents=" Russ Lawton&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://russlawton.com" target="_blank"> Russ Lawton </a></strong></p>
<p>“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 <a contents="Ray " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.instagram.com/raypaczkowski/?hl=en" target="_blank">Ray </a>and <a contents="Russ" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://russlawton.com" target="_blank">Russ</a> did a beautiful job interpreting the good. To dedicate one’s life to music, one must cast a wide net. The sheet music for all new releases is available on his website in the merch tab, maybe so, or, maybe not. </p>
<p>“The architecture in Burlington, the old churches, the lake, it all made for a magical carousel journey in my mind. I imagined what I would write if I was there at that time, and it just flowed off the page. ” </p>
<p><strong>4) January 2 – “Why Does Love Always Break Your Heart” – featuring Space Owl </strong></p>
<p>This song’s mysterious intro will capture your attention from deep within the musical abyss as Ari’s guitar breathes beautiful melodies and rhythms. John Ewings’ drums crisp and concise compliment Bob Lovelace’s bass tones of delight. Together they come on strong, enthusiasm builds as David Applebaum’s masterful keys chime in. For the jammier of fans the Space Owl stuff is worth a listen, “Why Does Love Always Break Your Heart” is the latest vaulted release from Ari’s jam rock vehicle Space Owl. </p>
<p><strong>5) January 26 – “Eye Just Called, To Soul, I Love You” – featuring <a contents="John Morgan Kimock" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.instagram.com/johnmorgankimock/?hl=en" target="_blank">John Morgan Kimock</a>, Andy Hess and Eden Ladin </strong></p>

"The Clinic" Out Today featuring Ray & Russ from Soule Monde and TAB

<p>Guitarist Ari Joshua continues to impress with a steady stream of epic collaborations in 2022, and 2023. It’s gonna be another breakout year, we are digging this prolific young player, musically he is just overflowing. ‘‘The Clinic’ Featuring Ray Paczkowski, & Russ Lawton of Soule Monde & <a contents="The Trey Anastasio Band" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://trey.com" target="_blank">The Trey Anastasio Band</a> is the latest new song, and it goes live on Jan 17th. There has been a steady flow of new music from this collaboration, and the compositions range from tasty classic train beats, to vocal rock ballads, to bluegrass inspired 3 chord happy grooves, to dirty organ trio jazz funk, to all out through composed epic journeys. </p>
<p>Ari Joshua’s unique and recognizable guitar style is a fire match for <a contents="Soule Monde" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://soulemonde.com" target="_blank">Soule Monde</a> and Trey Anastasio Band keyboardist and drummer Ray Paczkowski & Russ Lawton. In this song, Russ’s therapeutically soulful beats pulse right out of the kit and into your heart, intertwining with Ray’s incredible melodies and grooves. ‘The Clinic’ has the kind of familiarity that immediately provokes the mind, body and soul to groove, may as well just let go of genre labeling, this is psychedelic music. As to be expected we do hear a little Soule Monde, and a little TAB in there, but this trio seems to consistently produce original sounding new music. The artwork by Rimbaraw and the song title reference the time the song was recorded, winter 2021. </p>
<p>‘It should be no secret, I have had a lot of musical influences, but I have been listening to TAB and <a contents="PHISH" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://phish.com" target="_blank">PHISH</a> for years. I have always sought out organ trio format, and have been blessed to work with alot of organ drum combos. I grew up on Jimmy Smith, and Kenny Burrell. The pandemic definitely played a role. I was able to talk to Russ, and since Trey had set up the Beacon Jams, it fell into place, iit was a lemons to lemonade moment for sure. I have to say, Ray & Russ have a deep vibe. There are moments where I realize, I’ve never heard them play exactly like this before, it shows you how incredible they are as players. It also was apparent why <a contents="Trey" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://trey.com" target="_blank">Trey</a> would keep them around for so long after a few days into this session. They are just all in when it comes to making art together, they could read my mind a little, they are really sweet people, I felt a little like what it was like when I was with my best buds from 7th grade doing music in a garage. Everyone has their own preference feeling like a kid in a garage has always been my happy place.’<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/294251/ad7df52eea236a8623f7eb151766f85b1bf0c2bf/original/cover-vinyl-clinic-kirim.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

"The Prodigy" The Saga of Milly and Fee Part 2 is Out Today!
<p style="text-align: center;">"The Prodigy" The Saga of Milly and Fee Part 2 is Out Today January 7th, 2023 </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/294251/75931a983d84443f06028b8ae84e2872b89497b5/original/tsomaf-the-prodigy.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_center border_none" alt="" style="text-align: center;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“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 beautiful job interpreting the good. To dedicate one’s life to music, one must cast a wide net. The sheet music for all new releases is available on his website in the merch tab, maybe so, or, maybe not. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“The architecture in Burlington, the old churches, the lake, it all made for a magical carousel journey in my mind. I imagined what I would write if I was there at that time, and it just flowed off the page.”<br><br> </p>

Child hood poem
<p>Oh, how roots run deep like the ocean's floor, From Cape Town, a birth, where the warm souls pour. My dear grandparents, they played records, so fine, And sang songs that lit up my soul, as divine.</p><p>I was just a child, yet the music spoke to me, In a land where Mandela's plight was still to be set free. The culture, oh the culture, so diverse and unique, With each turn came the sounds, oh so sweet to my ears to seek.</p><p>My family, they saw the injustice, the apartheid's wrongs, And so we journeyed to the east coast, where life was a different song. There is more to this tale, a chapter, a book even, But for this interview, let's say, my youth was African and American.</p><p>With an A1 moving truck, we traversed the nation, Landing in the pacific northwest, a state of fascination. Middle school years, a time of growth and blossoming, With Microsoft and Grunge, my city was constantly thriving.</p><p>Those years were rich, oh so different from now, The contrast between then and now, we can hardly allow. The world has evolved, but music, oh it still remains, A constant in my life, even as the way we consume it has changed.</p><p>I hold dear to my heart the memories, the life I've led, And cherish the decade or two where it all began, I have said. For even as the world moves on, I know where I come from, And that is a gift, a treasure, that can never be undone.</p><p> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/d00bb6f162dc59c1d068899d4f6fa8d93495db9d/original/img-3508.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />

Meeting of the Minds - John Medeski, Billy Martin, Ari Joshua, Jason Fraticelli
<p> </p>
<p>Ari Joshua, John Medeski, Billy Martin, Jason Fraticelli </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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 about 25 new compositions to choose from but elected to make sure we had room to collaborate, in other words do a certain amount of new never done before expressions of the moment, and I am eternally grateful for that window into their philosophy and into their minds. </p>
<p>The way the sessions went I drove up from NYC, and fell asleep at the studio, woke up and Jason and Billy where there all set up and ready to rock. We did a few trio tracks, and it wasn't till the next day John was available. </p>
<p>John showed up and we just blasted off. We did some line checking and it just morphed into a 40 minute improvisational session. Billy is one of the heaviest cats I have worked with, he is as serious as any of the professors I had at The New School. He really is carrying the torch from the great improvisors, but he also has that element of being from the 70's 80's and 90's. I can see why he and John are so prolific. There was alot to lean from these guys, I really hope to work with them again, what a treat. </p>
<p>We are finalizing this one. 40 minutes captured as the first notes we played together, 40 minutes that set the stage for the rest of the session. Not to worry we are deep into mixing the other material, but this one is near ready. </p>
<p>The artwork is Burgandy Viscosi the genius artist that has been a dear friend of mine for over 2 decades. Burgandy is like my spirit animal. She always has the best advice. She is like a pure soul. She has painted 3 murals for us at The Music Factory, and this works is just perfect for this. </p>

<p>'Siblings' out now for fair trade on this site and the sheet music as well or you can get it on one of the well known music industry distorting sites that most of you and I as well support by way of societal norms - meaning spotify, apple. </p>
<p>The beautiful music was recorded by Jonti Simon, Will Lone, and Joel Bean. Will and Joel to my knowledge are not on social media, and not even playing music these days, so I hope you enjoy this rare chance to hear them. Jonti is a beautiful bass player who is playing around slot and is one of the finest bass players I’ve played with. I first met him in NyC he was in a band called Fat Mama with Joe Russo, and I’d see them all the time. </p>

<p>Expect to see Ray on his usual analog heavy organ, Clavinet, and Wurlitzer set up, Ari, an innovative singer-songwriter trained in jazz and ready to go in any direction, will have a tasty set up of spooky soulful tones, and Russ always holds down a groove you can dance to all night long. Notoriety’s doors will open at 10 p.m., and the shows will extend late both nights. Advanced ticket purchases are advised as the space is limited to about 300 at a time. Tickets can be purchased through Notoriety Lounge at <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.notorietylive.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.notorietylive.com</a>.</p>
<p>The ensemble has a list of over 30 original songs to pull from (some of Ray ‘n’ Russ’ and some of Ari’s) covering all genres but rooted in the same solid groove fans of Soule Monde and TAB know well. It’s a great place to see these players in a raw trio format, plus, you never know who may stop by! Bring your costume, and late nite party vibes; this party is all about the music, the soul, and charting new grooves!</p>

<p>The power trio formed in Burlington, is releasing its debut six-song EP under Ari Joshua’s label this November. The first two singles from the project “Father Time” and “Star Lord” are already available on all digital stores.</p>
<p>Back in the Winter of 2020/2021, in the middle of the pandemic, Ari Joshua flew into the snowy city of Burlington, Vermont to collaborate with drummer Russ Lawton, organist Ray Paczkowski, and long-time Phish Vermont recording engineer Ben Collette. The excitement sparked an intense and healthy writing spree. Ari composed about 25 demos in all.</p>
<p>Ari had already composed vocal tracks “Rae of Light” for his 90-year old grandmother’s birthday, and “Gran-mama” for his deceased grandmother. It was a treasured experience to record these two sentimental tracks at The Tank in Burlington with such wonderful musicians.</p>

<p>“When I arrived and we started to play, the chemistry and like-minded musical approach opened the doors to a memorable session that I will never forget,” says Ari. “These guys were a lot like me, just serious, and ready to get to work.”</p>
<p>The trio managed to record versions of all 25 demos; mostly brand-new compositions and concepts. “Star Lord” was originally named “Country Hoppin,” written while Ari was flying from the West Coast to the East Coast. He wrote “For Ray” for Ray Paczkowski to shine a light on his unique approach on the organ. “The Bernie Meme” was inspired by the viral photograph of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in his hand-crafted mittens during President Biden’s inauguration — Ari was, after all, in Burlington, Vermont. The creative vibrations of life rippled through musical hearts and hands in a Northeastern snow-covered studio.</p>
<p>Ari began releasing songs from his Vault earlier this year, including original recordings with artists such as Robert Glasper, KJ Sawka and Delvon Lamarr. The six songs from the EP are set to release in November. The singles “Star Lord,” “Father Time” and “Rae of Light” are out now!</p>

<p>When the <strong>Ari Joshua Band</strong> plays it’s a full-fledged high-energy dance party.

This lineup is scheduled to play at The Hidden Door in Shoreline, Washington on Saturday, November 6.</p>
<p>The pandemic allowed for Ari to shift his focus closer to where his heart is, which is to travel and spread expressions of love and joy through psychedelic jazz and rock. He’s most excited to share his work with the beloved passionate listeners of the jazz, and Jam music scenes where improvisation and compositional music is most appreciated.</p>
<p>For those unfamiliar, Ari is a Cape Town, South African born – American raised guitarist. After attending The New School in NYC. He is the founder and owner of The Music Factory, an online music lessons portal, and Seattle’s in person music school.

Waltz of 1000 Stars is coming 9-17! Excited for the 4 new songs qued up! PDF of The Sheet Music Available now!
<p>Waltz of 1000 Stars is a composed piece, inspired by the classical music of the late 1800's and early 1900's and also by the works of game henge you would hear in the early 90's... There is an underlying story but feel free to endulge your own imagination. </p>
<p>Recorded in the middle of the Pandemic in Burlington, VT in 2020, just after the Beacon Jams shows TAB put on. <br>More info on TAB here <a contents="https://trey.com/" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://trey.com/" target="_blank">https://trey.com/</a>. more on Ray and Russ's Duo here <a contents="https://soulemonde.com/" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://soulemonde.com/" target="_blank">https://soulemonde.com/</a></p>
<p>Waltz of 1000 Stars is the type of song you may hear and wonder where you heard it before. It came to me with my eyes closed, almost all the way. Just in one sitting, it was like a story unfolding. Sometimes the mood calls for Rock, Funk, Jams, and Improv... Some times it calls for jazz, some times I wanna sing like the Rock n Roll giants of the 90's, but some times the music just comes like a painting, the frame, the corners, the themes all mostly in place. </p>
<p>The first 7 songs from this session are already out under the Album Named RAaR also available on all outlets, this works highlights some of the other areas we explored as a trio. Not only are Russ and Ray almost 30 years deep in playing regularly with one of the greatest musicians of our times (you guessed who). They are also incredible warm and sincere artists, and musicians ready to work on anything. For me, a player who mostly hasn't been able to keep a steady band together for various life reasons... This was a chance to walk into a creative environment with all my tap's wide open. There seems to be an endless flow of music coming out of me, and if I had it my way I would have a touring band, a band of brothers, always ready to try stuff on. It was like stepping into a dream with Ray and Russ! I can see why any band leader, especially one with a priority on exploring the NOW, would keep working with them! </p>

<p>I love to play with people who have more experience, or who are able to take the music into realms and places I imagined. It's like playing in 4d. </p>

<p>Guitarist <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/band/ari-joshua">Ari Joshua</a> has been digging into his vault of unreleased music with the latest single, “Contact,” including contributions from keyboardist <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/band/robert-glasper">Robert Glasper</a>, drummer <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/band/kj-sawka">KJ Sawka</a> (Pendulum) and bassist <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/band/Jason%20Fraticelli">Jason Fraticelli</a> (Spaga). The Seattle-based musician channels Jimi Hendrix on the seven-minute instrumental.</p>
<p>“Contact” is the third song Ari Joshua pulled out of his archives with future installments expected to feature work with Marco Benevento, Joe Russo, Delvon Lamarr, Skerik and members of the Trey Anastasio Band. “This is a Vault in which I’ve been storing music for years,” explained Joshua. “Opening it up to the world is the result of coming to terms with reality. The new Covid world created the circumstances that caused me to face some stuff, to unlock the vault, and start releasing this treasure trove of albums and projects to align with a higher purpose.”</p>
<p>The recently released track came from a session held a few years back with Glasper, Sawka and Fraticelli. Ari Joshua attended New York City’s The New School with Robert and Jason, while KJ is a longtime collaborator. Joshua described “Contact” as “one being more of a Hendrix style guitar driven track” and added “the session was all over the place and dripping with goodness.”</p>
<p>Ari Joshua also shared the following in regards to “Contact”:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“I was in NY on a gig with my dear friend and super unique Drum-n-Bass/EDM drummer Kevin Sawka, and I had been in touch with Rob about wanting to do a session and it fell into place. I had played Rob and his band a few songs I had recorded with Sawka, and they really dug it. We spent two days recording there in Brooklyn. There is some really wonderful material there. The chemistry was amazing and material ranges from Jazz to Free Jazz to Rock to Drum-n-Bass. I think Sawka’s fans will get to hear him playing in a new and different way, completely unedited and with no laptop; same with Robert and his fans, there are ways he plays on some of the songs where I am like – Damn! I haven’t even heard Rob play like that before. The material we recorded was based mostly off of charts I brought in, but there was a lot of improv as well,it was just fun.</p>
<p>The song sort of starts off out in space, and the dna of the four of us mixes up like a stew and results in a musical orgasm, it sounds like what I imagine it would sound like if a UFO beamed an astronaut up in a parallel dimension. Hence the name ‘Contact.’”</p>

Reset button, recalling inspiration
<p>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 any of the things you may have thought or been told it may be but rather just remains there waiting to enjoy the things that bring joy, and give space to the things that feels real. However good or bad, to be back, more less in the place of space not being concerned as to who has what luck or experience with anything to recall that all of this is pretty amazing, and waiting to be breathed in and the best thing to do is B. You. and that as sure as all the things that in a state of depression may seem to be you generally stacked against yourself, and equal or surely even greater number of things could just as well be stacked and conspired and have been bending in your favor many times over as u have observed as well over the course of time. Praying that this year will be a year of overcoming fears, and sharing, and caring, and connecting, and growing for all the ones who need it, like I do. Reminder to follow the way. </p><p> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/8de501da628e3e297cd61963ced43902449f16f3/original/2.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />

Art work options for new release with Robert Glasper, KJ Sawka, and Jason Fraticelli!
<p>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? </p>

All night! </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>---- <br>Ari Joshua </p><p>For years, shamanistic guitarist and composer Ari Joshua has been one of those “musician’s musicians” who those “in the know” rave about, but has spent years under the radar to the general public. Ari’s commitment to music education with the successful school he founded, The Music Factory, getting through the trauma of a severe car accident, overcoming addiction, and the daunting task of mixing have kept him in something of a creative holding pattern. </p><p>Ari is finally started opening his vault and sharing a catalog of recordings that feature his masterful musicianship alongside such revered instrumentalists as four-time Grammy-winning artist Robert Glasper, Marco Benevento, Joe Russo, Delvon Lamarr, Skerik, and Ray Paczkowski and Russ Lawton, members of the Trey Anastasio Band. New EP ‘RAaR’ featuring Ray & Russ from TAB, Soule Monde will debut at Relix Magazine Nov 16th. These tracks will be issued in various configurations, and they document a spiritual journey of a prodigious talent all-consumed by his passion for music.</p><p> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/86e87bf38248b83883dd3ca9739ed9e9cfe93834/original/screenshot-2023-08-20-at-3-59-57-am.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_center border_" />

Recording at The Bunker Studios. A new quartet Ari Joshua, John Kimock, Eden Ladin, Andy Hess
<p>Ari was already going to be in NY for the Woodstock session with musical masters Billy Martin, and John Medeski, and to connect with his friends and teachers from university and the years he spent in the city. </p><p>The location is The Bunker Studio, a studio that was founded by Aaron Nevezie and Jon Davis, college mates of Ari’s. The line up really represents all the things Ari is passionate about with the music. Eden Ladin, and Jazz artist from Israel that is making really unique music on his own, and we’ll embedded in the scene at Small’s and around town. Andy Hess a bassist who has played for Gov’t Mule, Black Crows, John Scofield, and more! and Drummer John Kimock a beloved drummer in many circles, John has been releasing his own music, and has been supporting Mike Gordon, Steve Kimock, Otiel and friends, and more for years. <br> </p><p>Some thoughts from a phone call with Ari below. <br> </p><p>“I met Eden Ladin at The Village Vangaurd the first day I landed in the city. I was hanging out with one of the teachers at The Music Factory Frank Vitolo. Frank got the last ticket to see Kurt Rosenwikel at the Vangaurd. After the show it was a hang, cause the band was done with a 5 night run. I was hanging with Alex Claffy, and Kurt Rosenwinkel till about 4am after they finished their set. Alex and Kurt had me laughing till the late hours, after wards I ended up taking Kurt to his hotel (in the rental car) and meeting Alex at a place near 55 Bar. I told Alex I wanted to record with Keyon (Harold), since he knew him as well I knew I’d want to work with this guy… at least try… Aaron Barnes - owner of the 1905 bumped into me as I was talking to Mark Turner. It was a Sunday but it felt like a weekend any where else. <br> </p><p>Eden was heading to Portland to play but Alex and I where trying to set up a jazz session. It’s just so busy here so finding a open studio for under 1k a day is almost undoable. <br> </p><p>Two months before heading out to NY, I spoke to John Kimock about making some music. At the time he was very open to meeting up and trying some things out. I absolutely love his groove and feel. It’s solid and has direction to it. I also dig his solo music. Being a big fan of the Dead, and all the things that music stands for, I wanted to put together a group that represented all the things I’m passionate about. It all fell into place and we really just went in with no plans, no song selections, just open minds and it was so cool. <br> </p><p>Usually I like to do a lot of preproduction for a session, but one thing I learned a lot from John and Billy, it was was the true art and magic of group improv making mistakes taking risks and knowing what’s important. Billy actually encouraged me to find a perfect balance, lead a session in the moment. Know when to listen to the guys in the room and know when to go after what speaks to you.” <br> </p><p>Of course there are special people and players EVERYWHERE. I feel a brotherhood with the players. I know this city as well as any other on the planet. It’s not easy. But there’s a seriousness about the music. <br>it isn’t just hobby, or you know, a dream, or a an old dream. It’s like serious business. Really special players. <br> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/b778a81f9dd9ae33c203e7a255fca9aec1da3c12/original/ac44220b-998c-43cf-a745-f7262bfcbd79.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><p> </p>

Songwritting for the Medeski Martin Session! April 2022
<p>When songwriting alot of what I do is record to a tape or now a days a phone.</p><p>I let the music sort of just come out. I love to use a looper.

Earshot Jazz Golden Ear Awards

Ari was nominated for two awards: Emerging Jazz Artist for 2021 and the Alternative Jazz Band for 2021. The Ari Joshua Band won the Alternative Jazz Band award and gave a short but heartfelt acceptance speech. <br><br>Ari is jazz trained and his style really shines through in every Ari Joshua Band performance. Ari is paving the way for a new expression of jazz through his new music compositions. His music can be classified as genre bridging jamband styled with heavy jazz and funk influences. He's truly carving a new path in the artistic world, and it was wonderful to see him recognized. <br><br>Ari's thoughts on the event: "Earshot Jazz Golden Ear Awards - a dream come true. I have so much respect for all artists. The amount of blood sweat and tears we give to be able to share what we love. </p><p> </p><p>It’s a an honor and a dream to be part of the Earshot legacy from the article to a first Golden Ear, I’m very grateful, and some day I’ll explain just how tough of a journey it’s all been. </p><p>Pandemic really gave time to reflect. Among the top goals last year I wrote down; record, find a home as a jazz (& ‘cross-over’) artists, find a label, share music, & form a stronger connection to the scene. </p><p>Big love & shout outs; my Mom (pictured here), my friend Melissa for encouraging me when down & for helping me to believe. To John Gilbreath and all the folks at Earshot for being the glue to so many cycles of artists. To the players Luca, Eric, and Willow for learning all my tunes and accepting me for all the far out ideas I have. To Ray and Russ and Ben in Vermont, you guys helped me get a lot of this music DOWN on wax that was a beautiful thing. </p><p>To all the support, from friends and music fans, and to all the nominees cause it makes it really hard to accept an award when it’s clear there’s so much musical dedication from all involved and so many not even nominated. </p><p>Love and support goes to all these people: </p><p>Royal Room Collective Ensemble, Earthtone Skyrone, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, The Tiptons, Xavier Lacourturier, Leana Keith, Dylan Hayes, Trevor Ford, John Hansen, Reggie Goings, Marc Thomas, Milo Petersen, Geoff Harper, Scenes, Marina Albero Trio, Fade Quartet, Jim Knapp Orchestra, Meridian Odyssy, Roman Delilah Ann Reynolds, Alex Dugdale, Thomas Marriot, Abbey Blackwell, D’vonne Lewis, Johnaye Kendrick, Darelle Holden, Jaqueline Tabor, Greta Matassa and if I missed anyone lmk. </p><p>It really gives fuel to the artists to be recognized."</p><p> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/ca45b60fb4d1e1cfb0d2930d30e7b7d2627c5c36/original/screen-shot-2022-02-16-at-11-34-58-pm.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />

What inspires me to write, to be an artist a dance of Joy and pain.
<p>The Rhythm of Joy</p><p>Music and the universe share a remarkable symmetry – patterns that resonate with the soul. These harmonies are not just melodies to my ears; they are the very essence of my joy. As a writer, I find myself drawn to these patterns, compelled to translate them into words. They are the light that guides my pen, the rhythm that beats in every sentence I write.</p><p>In these patterns, I see a reflection of life itself – a dance of light and shadow, a song of happiness and sorrow. Whether it's the repetitive chorus of a favorite song or the repetitive cycle of stars in the night sky, these patterns are a source of endless fascination and inspiration for me. They are not just subjects for my writing; they are the very reasons I write.</p><p>The Dissonance of Pain</p><p>But my writing journey is not just about the joy of discovery. It's also about the pain of feeling unsupported and abandoned. These are the dissonant chords in my life's symphony, the notes that jar and jangle. When I write about these experiences, it's not just to share my pain, but to seek understanding and healing.</p><p>These moments of pain often come from the deepest places of trust – from those I have opened my heart to. The hurt is not just in the abandonment but in the continual disappointment. It's the repeated letdowns, especially after I've shown them the way to harmony – to resolve our dissonances.</p><p>The Symphony of Life</p><p>In writing about both joy and sorrow, I find a strange kind of balance. My blog becomes a canvas where I paint the full spectrum of my emotions. It's a place where the music of the universe meets the discord of human relationships, where the symphony of my life finds its expression.</p><p>So, as I continue to write, I invite you, my readers, to join me in this journey. Let's explore together the patterns that bring us joy and confront the pains that teach us about ourselves and others. After all, it's in writing and sharing these experiences that we find the true harmony of life.</p><p>End of Entry</p><p>This approach blends the themes of joy and pain in writing, using the metaphors of music and the universe to express these deep emotions. It invites readers to engage with the writer's journey and reflects a balance between personal exploration and universal themes.</p>

The RAaR Trio in Vegas! Two intimate late-night throw-downs after Phish’s MGM Grand shows!
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/294251/050f683a9212aae4eeafc7766af7922c356478ca/original/notoriety-art-lion-and-insta-1117-x-2000-px-1.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" />The Ray, Ari and Russ (R.A.a.R) Trio scheduled two intimate late-night throw-downs, on October 30 and 31 after Phish’s sets at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The shows at Notoriety Lounge on Fremont Street were the Trio’s first performance since recording during the pandemic in Burlington. </p>
<p>Attendees got to see Ray on his usual analog heavy organ, clavinet, and Wurlitzer set up. Ari, an innovative singer-songwriter trained in jazz and ready to go in any direction, had a tasty set up of spooky soulful tones, and Russ held down the groove we danced to all night long.<br><br>Notoriety Lounge (www.notorietylive.com) is located at 450 E Fremont Street on the third floor. The location required an elevator to find, but the balcony view of the rotunda a hundred yards away from the lights of the Fremont Street strip was beautiful and it felt rather exclusive. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/294251/4b16fd33e2edb01eb813dbc3f7034c0e884a1694/original/img-6652.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>The stellar Phish show on the 30th wrapped up around 12:30am, so fans determined to see RAaR made it to Notoriety around 1-1:30am. Getting out of the MGM Grand maze is a challenge for anyone, and finding Notoriety amidst the hundreds of thousands of glittering lights and the costumed crowds was also a distracting obstacle course, so we were amazed by the terrific turn-out! </p>
<p>Ray, Ari and Russ performed three killer sets of dance-friendly songs from both Soule Monde's albums and Ari's compositions including previously released 'Father Time' and songs from the soon to be released 'RAaR' six-song EP. </p>
<p><strong>Setlist for Saturday, October 30th 2021: <br>Set I</strong> - Strut, Star Lord, The Jodi Grind, Audio Bicycle Day (#6), Ollie, For Ray, The Nail </p>
<p><strong>Set II </strong>- Tinyland, Ellsies Song, Gramama, Bernard, Inertia, The Bernie Meme, Allah Uya, After Midnight, Mimi Digs It, Melodies </p>
<p><strong>Set III </strong>- The Jodi Grind reprise, Slide B, Introductions, The Bear Necessities, La Grange</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/294251/48ce3da851ee375c62831fd4a319f9efdbe85128/original/tempimageo6sc2j.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>It was a great place to see these players in a raw trio format. Most everyone came in costume, and we danced until around 4am. </p>
<p>Sunday night's Phish show didn't end until around 2am! Again, we were happy to see so many people who powered through the night to come see RAaR. Many of the attendees had also come to the Saturday show and reported having had such a great time that they had to come back for the second night! </p>
<p><strong>Setlist for Sunday, October 31st 2021:</strong><br><strong>Set I </strong>- Audio Bicycle Day (#6), Slide B, Miss Miriam, Afro Beat Song </p>
<p><strong>Set II </strong>- For Ray, Elsie’s Song, Burlington Coat Factory, Nail, Gramama </p>
<p><strong>Set III</strong> - The Jodi Grind, Bootsy Bonham, Inertia, Take a Little Sip, Ollie, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), All Along the Watchtower</p>
<p>The audio files for the shows will be made available soon! </p>
<p>The power trio formed in Burlington, is releasing its debut six-song EP under Ari Joshua’s label this November. The first three singles from the project “Father Time,” "Rae of Light" and “Star Lord” are already available in all digital stores. </p>
<p>Back in the Winter of 2020-21, in the middle of the pandemic, Ari Joshua flew into the snowy city of Burlington, Vermont to collaborate with drummer Russ Lawton, organist Ray Paczkowski, and long-time Phish Vermont recording engineer Ben Collette. The excitement sparked an intense and healthy writing spree. Ari composed about 25 demos in all. </p>
<p>Ari had already composed vocal tracks “Rae of Light” for his 90-year old grandmother’s birthday, and “Gran-mama” for his deceased grandmother. It was a treasured experience to record these two sentimental tracks at The Tank in Burlington with such wonderful musicians. </p>
<p>“When I arrived and we started to play, the chemistry and like-minded musical approach opened the doors to a memorable session that I will never forget,” says Ari. “These guys were a lot like me, just serious, and ready to get to work.” </p>
<p>The trio managed to record versions of all 25 demos; mostly brand-new compositions and concepts. “Star Lord” was originally named “Country Hoppin,” written while Ari was flying from the West Coast to the East Coast. He wrote “For Ray” for Ray Paczkowski to shine a light on his unique approach on the organ. “The Bernie Meme” was inspired by the viral photograph of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in his hand-crafted mittens during President Biden’s inauguration — Ari was, after all, in Burlington, Vermont. The creative vibrations of life rippled through musical hearts and hands in a Northeastern snow-covered studio. </p>
<p>The Vegas shows were a trial run for a potential tour. Ari, Russ and Ray with the Echo the Dream team are taking about what to do next! :) </p>

EP one week away! 'RAaR' the Lion - Palindrome EP
<p>Relix magazine and Ever Kipp have confirmed that Relix will premier the release which is not only dream, it is also a great honor! They have asked Ari to write a few paragraphs about the upcoming release which is due to come out next week November 16th! We are thrilled to share a open letter about the release from Ari.</p><p>Dear readers,</p><p>As I climbed into airplane with my favorite two guitars, and a suitcase full of toys, I knew it was gonna be a great adventure to travel to Burlington, VT and track with these guys, but I had no way of knowing the level of magic and flow that would unfold. I had been talking to Russ and Ray about an organ trio collaboration,. The history of the Organ Trio is deep in the Jazz world & I’ve had the honor to play with alot of great organ players over the years in that format (Marco Benevento, Joe Doria, Delvon Lamarr** up for Grammy nomination) and it’s always been a special format I loved and adored. </p><p>We had originally planned to do some remote work together, I always have an overflowing fountain of original material waiting to be recorded and played, and composing is something I do alot, I can’t recall many recording sessions ever being as fun or productive as this was. With the pandemic in full swing I owe a great thank you to Trey Anastasio for opening the doors to a protocol to collaborate during his Beacon Theater run and for sharing these great players with the world. As we were exchanging musical ideas via videos and texts, the Beacon Theater run was just starting up, so the remote session we where planning sort of went on pause. But serendipitously, Russ invited me to consider the possibility of following the testing, and quarantine protocol Trey had set up. I don’t think they expected me to go for it (laugh), but I was like, sure, I mean, I don’t have anything else on the calendar right now being we are in shutdown, not only could I fly out, quarantine, and record in person, it would be a real honor and saving grace as at the time there was no end in sight for the shutdown. </p><p>The eclectic multi diverse styles I write in work best with folks that can play or understand the jazz language but also can also serve the music with a knowledge of Rock, and African music. As odd as it sounds, even in the best of times, it’s hard to find the right people to work with in this style. Ray and Russ were able to interpret my music creatively and intuitively from the first or second take, it was a real joy to watch things unfold, they also where all about getting to business, I really felt as though I was with really like minded souls. From the first note of recording I could sense that Ray and Russ were a perfect musical fit, there was a shared respect and love for the music you don’t always find out there. I can really see why they fit so well in TAB and have for more than 20 years. </p><p>I have studied a lot of the classic jazz recordings and players, both horn players and stringed player, guys like Pat Martino, Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, and Kenny Burrell, are in my rear view mirror on a session like this, but I am 1000% equally influenced in the psychedelic rock ways, cats like Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix, and of course Trey Anastasio where accessible to me growing up I soaked it all in I felt all those influences on this session. After a day of tracking things where rocking and rolling so well, we were already considering extending the sessions, and we did just that. Ben Collette (phish’s long time audio engineer) and Rob O'dea made things super relaxed and easy and Ben helped me to discover a few epiphanies or ‘aha’ moments in talking about various fundamentals in relation to how he would do things in his tenure with Phish and Trey. The chemistry was so perfect that we were miraculously able to track takes of about 25 original song ideas, in all kinds of different styles. Half of the material I brought with me, and a half I sketched out just for the session in the apartment I was isolated in. ‘For Ray’, “The Bernie Meme”, and “Star Lord” were all fresh compositions. ‘For Ray’ has a NYC modern jazz element to it that was written to feature Ray’s unique approach to the instrument. His ability to build and sustain creative sonic textures and ideas that may be less conventional but serve the music is so tasty. ‘Bernie Meme’ was indicative of the timing, having landed in Burlington on the peak of the Meme explosion, it was almost irresistible, it also really highlighted Soule Monde flavor and styles. Perhaps the most meaningful songs on the session where put into priority mode, to make this first release, ‘Rae of Light’ was written for my Granny Rae’s 90th birthday which was just a few months before the session, I hadn’t planned on recording a lot of the material we got to, but again the chemistry was just wonderful, we were able to just keep rolling through stuff. It is a good thing, thankfully, we did cause due to the isolation of Covid 19 she really suffered a decline in health, she was able to hear the song in it’s finished form few months ago, she loved it and shared it with all the folks in her assisted living complex. It brought her a lot of joy, but she sadly passed away this week (yesterday as I am writing) her caretakers played her the song a few times a day even as she was transitioning out of this world I feel incredibly grateful to think the song helped her. I really like how the chorus’s and lead sections turned out on that one. The song ‘Gramama’ was actually written for my other grandmother, Granny Queenie, who loved to sing, and had a very spiritual approach to life and to music. </p><p>The songs are ordered in a palindrome, the EP title R.A.a.R (which stands for Ray, Ari, and Russ) is a palindrome. The lion art work is by Brian Steely, so RAAR is also like a lion’s Roar, my name also means lion, so there are little easter eggs in there. The order is a grandmother sandwich, the tribute songs on the ends, next in are two songs with the pure instrumental flavors, just the trio standing on it’s own, and the middle slots are both mix of the two worlds, some light vocal layers, with the organic instrumental stripped down trio featured throughout. </p><p>Almost all the material was being tweaked up till the moment we recorded. I wrote out charts while in quarantine, and a It was really like a perfect few weeks for me, I will never forget these sessions. I think the feelings are mutual, we recently all three of us flew to Vegas and played two long shows in Vegas for Halloween, I learned about 15 of their songs to prepare for the sessions initially, so we discovered we had a bag of like 30 songs to pick from, it was something special to really stretch out on the material and revisit them, it was equally special to get in front of those fans and share with them an intimate experience. We were able to ramp up a few covers during soundcheck as well, which was really fun! This is a really sweet project, it is the perfect balance of work and joy, I look forward to sharing this batch of 6 songs, and I am already working on the next batch! </p><p>** 2021 3 releases up for grammy nomination<br>‘Say Watcha Wanna Say’ feat Skerik, Delvon Lamarr*, and Grant Schroff<br>as well as ‘Father Time’ feat Ray Paczkowski*, and Russ Lawton* (Soule Monde) <br>and ‘Eye’s Only’ feat Robert Glasper, KJ Sawka, Jason Fraticelli</p><p> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/77cdd25deff385d6b0a227360aefb55f43774386/original/raar-ep-ari-ray-and-russ.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />

<p>A new six-song EP, RAAR by guitarist Ari Joshua, featuring Ray Paczkowski and Russ Lawton from Soule Monde and the Trey Anastasio Band is coming this November. More gorgeous original psychedelic rock-jazz fusion tracks from the February 2021 recording sessions in Burlington, Vermont can be anticipated for intermittent release in the coming months. </p>
<p>The Ray, Ari and Russ (R.A.a.R) Trio is scheduled for two intimate late-night throwdowns, on October 30 and 31 after Phish’s sets at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

<p>The ensemble has a list of over 30 original songs to pull from (some of Ray ‘n’ Russ’ and some of Ari’s) covering all genres but rooted in the same solid groove fans of Soule Monde and TAB know well. It’s a great place to see these players in a raw trio format, plus, you never know who may stop by! Bring your costume, and late nite party vibes; this party is all about the music, the soul, and charting new grooves! </p>
<p>The power trio formed in Burlington, is releasing its debut six-song EP under Ari Joshua’s label this November. The first two singles from the project “Father Time” and “Star Lord” are already available on all digital stores. </p>
<p>Back in the Winter of 2020/2021, in the middle of the pandemic, Ari Joshua flew into the snowy city of Burlington, Vermont to collaborate with drummer Russ Lawton, organist Ray Paczkowski, and long-time Phish Vermont recording engineer Ben Collette. The excitement sparked an intense and healthy writing spree. Ari composed about 25 demos in all. </p>
<p>Ari had already composed vocal tracks “Rae of Light” for his 90-year old grandmother’s birthday, and “Gran-mama” for his deceased grandmother. It was a treasured experience to record these two sentimental tracks at The Tank in Burlington with such wonderful musicians. </p>
<p>“When I arrived and we started to play, the chemistry and like-minded musical approach opened the doors to a memorable session that I will never forget,” says Ari. “These guys were a lot like me, just serious, and ready to get to work.” </p>
<p>The trio managed to record versions of all 25 demos; mostly brand-new compositions and concepts. “Star Lord” was originally named “Country Hoppin,” written while Ari was flying from the West Coast to the East Coast. He wrote “For Ray” for Ray Paczkowski to shine a light on his unique approach on the organ. “The Bernie Meme” was inspired by the viral photograph of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in his hand-crafted mittens during President Biden’s inauguration — Ari was, after all, in Burlington, Vermont. The creative vibrations of life rippled through musical hearts and hands in a Northeastern snow-covered studio. </p>
<p>Ari began releasing songs from his Vault earlier this year, including original recordings with artists such as Robert Glasper, KJ Sawka and Delvon Lamarr. The six songs from the EP are set to release in November. The singles “Star Lord,” “Father Time” and “Rae of Light” are out now! </p>
<p>When the Ari Joshua Band plays it’s a full-fledged high-energy dance party. The Ari Joshua Band’s current lineup features Willow Goodine (Swindler) on keys, Eric Hullander on bass, and Luca Cartner on drums. This lineup is scheduled to play at The Hidden Door in Shoreline, Washington on Saturday, November 6. </p>
<p>The pandemic allowed for Ari to shift his focus closer to where his heart is, which is to travel and spread expressions of love and joy through psychedelic jazz and rock. He’s most excited to share his work with the beloved passionate listeners of the jazz, and Jam music scenes where improvisation and compositional music is most appreciated. </p>
<p>For those unfamiliar, Ari is a Cape Town, South African born – American raised guitarist. After attending The New School in NYC. He is the founder and owner of The Music Factory, an online music lessons portal, and Seattle’s in person music school. The Music Factory is now almost 15 years running, employing close to 100 musicians since its inception. Music Factory teachers have taught over 30,000 lessons to students of all ages, and skill levels. </p>

<p>’Star Lord’ EP includes six (6) songs from the February Burlington, VT <br>recording sessions set for release November 16, 2021 </p>

A six (6) song EP by this team is scheduled for release early November 2021, and more gorgeous original psychedelic rock-jazz fusion tracks can be anticipated for intermittent release in the coming months. </p>
<p><span class="font_small"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/294251/bf088dbab244bf6aa20980fa514479ee3ab3459f/original/raar-trio-starlord.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p>In the middle of the Pandemic, Winter of 2020- 2021. Ari Joshua happily flew into the snowy city of Burlington, Vermont to collaborate with drummer Russ Lawton, organist Ray Paczkowski, and long-time Phish recording engineer Ben Collette to collaborate for a few session dates. The excitement sparked an intense and healthy writing spree. Ari composed about 25 demos in all both during the final weeks of the famed beacon jams, and as well during his 10 day quarantine in a Burlington, VT condo. </p>
<p>Two vocal tracks ‘Rae of Light’ written for his 90-year old maternal grandmother’s birthday, and ‘Gran-mama’ for his deceased paternal grandmother. It was a treasured experience to record these two sentimental tracks at ‘The Tank’ in Burlington with such wonderful musicians. </p>
<p>“When I arrived at the studio after quarantining the guys where already set up, I had spent 10 days in isolation, so it felt so amazing to play. Ben had picked out some great amps, for me to record on and the chemistry was evident after a few notes. It was great to communicate with these guys, it felt like an old school garage session, we where instantly locked in for a great studio experience. It was like as if we had played together before, and we all really collectively cared about the music. After the first day I recall thinking to myself no wonder Trey has kept these guys on for 20 years, they are the best! The like-minded musical approach opened the doors to a memorable session that I will never forget. These guys were a lot like me, just as serious, and ready to get to work." says Ari. </p>
<p>The trio managed to record versions of all the 25 demos Ari brought in; mostly brand- new compositions and concepts. “Star Lord” was originally named ‘Number Six’ of the 25 tracks composed on the trip. Ari wrote “For Ray” for Ray Paczkowski to shine as a “G on the keys,” and “The Bernie Meme” was inspired by the viral photograph photograph of Bernie Sanders in his hand-crafted mittens during President Biden’s inauguration which had just happened; Ari was after all, in Burlington, Vermont. The creative vibrations of life rippled through musical hearts and hands in a Northeastern snow-covered studio. </p>
<p>Ari began releasing songs from his ‘Vault’ earlier this year including original recordings with artists including Robert Glasper, KJ Sawka, and Delvon Lamarr. The six songs from the ‘Star Lord’ EP and many more can be found on all streaming platforms and enjoyed live when the Ari Joshua Band performs. </p>
<p>The pandemic has allowed for Ari to shift his focus closer to where his heart is, which is to travel and spread expressions of love and joy through Psychedelic Jazz and Rock. He’s most excited to share his work with the beloved passionate listeners of the Jazz, and Jam music scenes where improvisation and compositional music is most appreciated. </p>

Ari Joshua Quintet At JAZZ ALLEY - AUGUST 2021
<p>“Love for Sale!!” <br>Ari Joshua Vintage Vibe Quintet, JAZZ ALLEY, Seattle, WA the August 10th & 11th, 2021 </p><p>The two night run headlining at Jazz Alley was a dream come true for diamond-in-the-rough guitarist Ari Joshua. When Ari received the invitation to play from Jazz Alley, he accepted without hesitation. </p><p>Jazz Alley rarely showcases local talent, but the staff heard Ari Joshua’s recently released single ‘Say Whatcha Wanna Say,’ loved it, and asked for the same band to play a hole in their schedule. Not everyone who had recorded the original SWWS was available; saxophonist Skerik, and drummer Grant Schroff were going to be out of town, but Ari was able to assemble an ensemble of renowned players quickly. Immediately, Ari’s manager, Jazz Alley promotional staff and Delvon Lamarr with Novo Productions started an eleven day whirlwind promotional campaign. </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="/ari-joshua-vintage-vibe-organ-quintet-live-at-jazz-alley-aug-10-11-2021" target="_blank" data-link-type="page" data-link-label="Ari Joshua Vintage Vibe Organ Quintet live at Jazz Alley Aug 10 & 11, 2021" contents="CLICK FOR FULL BLOG POST">CLICK FOR FULL BLOG</a></p><p> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/3ea629c809cc0c511ddd1be8a881a9a1909b4378/original/screen-shot-2021-07-28-at-5-51-45-am.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />

'Father Time' Release, August 5, 2021
<p>In the Winter of 2020-2021 in middle of the pandemic, Ari happily and safely flew into the snowy city of Burlington, VT to collaborate with Russ and Ray, forming a new trio.</p>
<p>Father Time, the title depicted by artist by Brian Steely is a 3 eyed god-type figure, is a tribute to fathers across the land, and to time itself as it seems to stand still for months on end during the shutdown. Father Time was composed on a loop machine before Ari began isolating near a Vermont recording studio called The Tank (the 'Phish tank'). </p>
<p>Ari met with Drummer Russ Lawton, Organist Ray Paczkowski, and long time Vermont recording engineer Ben Collette to collaborate for a few session dates. Ari recalls, "Originally we had plans to do a remote session, it was something Russ, Ben and I had talked about. But after the Beacon Jams run the idea of being able to meet in person became a viable option and we decided to see it through. The excitement of collaborating sparked a super intense & healthy writing spree and I began sharing demo's with the guys. There was about 25 demos in all, and we Russ and I picked the top 10 via a few phone calls. When I walked into the room, we started to play the chemistry and like minded musical approach opened the doors to a memorable session that I will never forget. These guys were a lot like me, just serious, and ready to get to work."</p>
<p>During TAB's succesful run at the Beacon Theater. Trey Anastasio laid a foundation for protocol to collaborate in a safe and productive way involving quarentining, and getting state run covid tests. On the heels of the Beacon Jams success, the idea of flying out and quarentining became more then just a pipe dream. It became a lifesaver. </p>
<p>After 10 days of writing music quarantined in a remote location near the Vermont recording studio, the trio managed to record versions of all 25 demos some old ideas, and mostly brand new compositions or concepts. Along with other songs in The Vault we are excited to share song #1 from this magical session. <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/294251/4a84063338453f7fde0ae0ef4c0ab386354cbabc/original/screen-shot-2021-08-05-at-12-24-16-am.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_right border_none" alt="" /></p>

<p>Guitarist <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/band/Ari-Joshua">Ari Joshua</a> released a new single, “Say Whatcha Wanna Say.” Premiered exclusively below, the track features saxophonist <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/band/Skerik">Skerik</a>, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/band/Delvon-LaMarr-Organ-Trio">Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio</a> keyboardist <strong>Delvon Lamarr</strong> and <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/band/Polyrhythmics">Polyrhythmics</a> drummer <strong>Grant Schroff</strong>.</p>
<p>Joshua described collaborating with the other musicians that contributed to the new track. The guitarist stated:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“For years I’ve always dreamed of putting an organ quartet with this line up together. I’m a Hammond organ fiend for the sound and the feel. Few people can do what Delvon, Skerik, and Grant can do. I’ve played with all these guys individually for years on pickup gigs, but we never recorded together.</p>
<p>This session was like swimming in an ocean of ‘hot damn!’ The songs felt like they played themselves. I chose ‘Say Whatcha Wanna Say’ as the first single because it was the first song we played when we entered the room. It was a smooth take off as you can hear, and I can’t wait to share the rest. Despite everyone’s busy touring schedules the stars aligned, and everything just came out right, right out of the gates on this one.”</p><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dhh19fozh/q_auto:good,f_auto,dpr_1.0/w_auto:breakpoints_85_850_10_10:259/jb7production-uploads/2022/09/bearly-dead-1663088604-1200x675.png" class="size_orig justify_left border_" alt="Bearly Dead" /><div class="date-card text-muted" style='background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);border:1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);bottom:0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:"Open Sans Condensed", sans-serif !important;font-size:14px;left:0px;line-height:1.2;margin:0px;padding:1px 5px;position:absolute;text-align:left;width:259.333px;'><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/show/bearly-dead-high-dive-20231011"><span><strong>Wed</strong></span><strong> </strong><span><strong>•</strong></span><strong> Oct 11, 2023</strong></a></div>

<p>“Say Whatcha Wanna Say” follows the March 2021 release of Joshua’s first vault recording, a collaboration with keyboardist Robert Glasper entitled <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jambase.com/article/eyes-only-single-release-ari-joshua-in-collaboration-with-robert-glasper">“Eyes Only.”</a> Another single, the playfully jazzy “Walmart Dinosaurs,” was released in May.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>“When I started to ask myself why I’m here, I began to get clarity,” said Joshua. “One thing I realized is that I held music in such a high regard that I could never see tracks as finished.

Charity Venture with Stone Gossard and the Rainchangers
<p>Ari put a hope out to the Universe years ago; a hope to work with Stone Gossard, Pearl Jam guitarist, Ari has long admired as a musical genius. The Universe delivered in the most beautiful and unexpected way. Stone Gossard, guitarist for Pearl Jam and Temple of the Dog stopped by the The Music Factory mid-April to record some voice for a great cause - the environment! This was both fun and meaningful. Stone and several other voice actors spent a couple of days on this campaign to protect water quality. The ads will be coming soon to all local radio stations! The charity/cause has asked not to be tagged just yet, but stay tuned. We love our wildlife, our Salmon, Orca, and Octopus neighbors. Keep your ears and hearts open. There is funding available for Raingardens which improve water quality. We will post more in support of this cause as this comes together. Thanks to Aaron Harmonson, sound engineer, and the whole crew for making this go! Community in motion, great to be involved!</p>

<p>With a new track out on March 17 featuring Grammy-winning <strong>Robert Glasper</strong>, and Pendulum/Destroid drummer <strong>KJ Sawka</strong>, guitarist <strong>Ari Joshua</strong> has something musical to say. They say pressure makes diamonds; for guitarist and composer Ari Joshua the COVID-19 pandemic brought liquid sparkling diamonds with music ripe for the sharing.</p>
<p>The new release “Eyes Only” is just the tip of the iceberg of new releases for guitarist Ari Joshua. “What else?” you ask. Fresh off a two-week recording session in Vermont with <strong>Trey Anastasio Band</strong> members, Ari is lining up songs to release from his vault that includes original tracks featuring <strong>Marco Benevento, Joe Russo, Delvon Lamarr, Skerik, Robert Glasper</strong> and more!</p>
<p>Does Ari have your attention yet? Read on.</p>
<div class="featured-media featured-media-img" style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px auto 1.5em;position:relative;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/10cf1d627f896ef0a25cdfe3d0d951c078dedbda/original/screen-shot-2018-05-23-at-1-18-08-pm.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></div>
<p>This winter, in the wake of pixie dust from “The Beacon Jams” shows with Trey Anastasio, Ari Joshua was invited to collaborate with <strong>Soule Monde</strong> and <strong>Trey Anastasio Band</strong> members, <strong>Russ Lawton</strong> and <strong>Ray Paczkowski</strong>. Overcoming travel restrictions and snowy roads, musical hearts and hands played in a stunning reconstructed wooden barn and recording studio in Burlington, Vermont. The team lovingly transcribed about 40 song ideas that Ari composed into the vibrations of life and sound. The creative chemistry was constant from the first notes to the last overdubs. Ari, Russ and Ray recorded under the care of <strong>Ben Collette</strong>, Phish’s sound engineer and archivist for 15+ years. The collaboration birthed a batch of over two dozen amazing rough cuts and was all done with safety guidelines followed to the letter, quarantining and masks on.</p>
<p>The next release <i>From the Vault</i> from Ari will be one with <strong>Skerik, Delvon LeMarr</strong> of the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, and drummer <strong>Grant Schroff</strong> of the Polyrhythmics. “Say Watcha Wanna Say” is set for April release.</p>
<p>Ari Joshua will exceed your expectations with scores of his original music which expands upon the eclectic genres and complex soundscapes of influencers from as wide a scope as the Milky Way galaxy, and you may find special light in his top influences: Phish and Grateful Dead. Ari’s originals reveal the depth of his creative talent in their orchestral composition and span a variety of uniquely soul-blended genres.</p>
<p>Ari is fueled by his love for playing music, and by collaborating with souls who also find joy and healing in music. Ari is a Cape Town, South African born/American raised guitarist. He attended <strong>The New School</strong> in New York City. For the past 15 years he has captained his creation, <strong>The Music Factory</strong>, an online music school with a physical location in Seattle, The Music Factory has employed close to 100 musicians since its inception. Music Factory teachers have taught over 30,000 lessons! The COVID-19 pandemic allowed Ari to shift his focus to his heart’s song, which is to travel and spread expressions of love and joy through psychedelic jazz and rock. He’s most excited to share his work with the beloved passionate listeners of the jam music scene.</p>
<p>Check out the first of many beautiful jazz tracks, “Eyes Only” by psychedelic jazz guitarist Ari Joshua, featuring four-time Grammy-winning keyboardist and New York City’s New School classmate <strong>Robert Glasper</strong>, and <strong>Pendulum’s/Destroid’s</strong> drummer with “superhuman dexterity” and friend <strong>Kevin “KJ” Sawka</strong>.</p>

"Eyes Only" Release, March 17, 2021, the first of many....
<p>How did this track “Eyes Only” come into existence? </p><p>This song “Eyes Only” is the first song that is coming 'OUT OF THE VAULT’. "Eyes Only" is one of a number of songs recorded with 4x Grammy award winning keyboardist Robert Glasper, Kevin Sawka, and Jason Fraticelli in a session a few years ago. </p><p>What vault, which One from the Vault are we speaking about? </p><p>This is a Vault, gathered over years by Ari, is the result of a decade of coming to terms with his reality, the reality of limitations and strengths, mental health, the power of music to heal and how to navigate those in this world we live in. Creativity and lifelong devotion to music created the vault, but depression and soul searching made it so vast, and now so very ready to release. Without getting into to too deeply (save that for an interview or a book), the new Covid world created the circumstances that caused Ari to decide to say F-it, and to unlock the vault, and start releasing his treasure trove of albums and projects. </p><p>In his words. </p><p>'I was in NY on a gig with my dear friend and super unique Drum-n-Bass/EDM drummer Kevin Sawka in NYC, and I had been in touch with Rob about wanting to do a session. On a recent tour, I took Rob and his bandmates, some of them old classmates, to a local diner for breakfast. Rob and I lived by a diner called ‘Mike’s Diner’ near Fort Greene in Brooklyn, I know he likes that kinds of stuff. We shared projects, and what we were all working on in the car ride to and from their hotel. I played them a few songs I had recorded with Sawka on drums, and Rob really dug it. Kevin and I were in the city on business later that year and we called up Rob to see if he was available. He was, so Jason (bassist) drove up form Philadelphia and we spent two days recording there in Brooklyn. (on the session) There is some really wonderful material there. The chemistry was amazing and material ranges from Jazz to Free Jazz to Rock to Drum-n-Bass. I think Sawka's fans will get to hear him playing in a new and different way, completely unedited and with no laptop; same with Robert and his fans, there are ways he plays on some of the songs where I am like - Damn! The material we recorded was based mostly off of charts I brought in. I think one was Roberts concept. “Eyes Only” is the first release, named because the effects of Covid have been the biggest factors in getting over my fear of releasing this music. All we see these days are people's eyes, you know, with all the masks. There is something so soulful and mysterious about seeing only peoples’ eyes, there is also a comfort in connecting with people through their ‘Eyes Only’ There is comfort in not having to connect in such a physical way, you know that gateway to the soul, that’s my channel. I want my music to connect to people in the same way, without a physical form, and straight into the heart and soul. Releasing this music is like my way of connecting with the world during these times, through “Eyes Only.”’ The process of committing to share the music is really healing, I think it is like that with lots of artists, but to me my work is never complete, or good enough, and there recordings are from a few years ago, I am better now, but I need to accept that there is perfection in the whole story, and it is time to just surrender a bit, these songs are my gifts.

February 15th Update from Burlington, VT
<p>It’s been a wonderful trip, over 2 weeks in Vermont, lots of rest, lots of prep time, and solid work in the studio. Thanks to Ben Collette and Rob O’dea for the hospitable and safe studio experience, and to </p>
<p>Soule Monde (Ray Paczkowski & Russ Lawton) </p>
<p>as well, the results will speek for themselves, but I’ll share that it was great chemistry from the first note to the last overdub. The fact that it felt so good the whole time, that is something. We managed to track forms for an astounding 27 songs. I prepared some 35-40 song ideas before traveling, mostly by sharing ideas over the few weeks leading up, and during the quarantine period. Most started simple loop ideas recorded on a loop device at in my office at The Music Factory, I recorded videos of on the phone of the loops and shared them. The folks at the Residence in made quarantine very easy by organizing meals, and letting me into the gym which was initially closed late at night. I’m actually not sure this would have happened at all or been the same if not for the state of things w Covid, down time is the norm, and with the ability to leave everything set up and add days, and the ability travel affordable without a guaranteed return date helped so much. I am looking forward to more collaborations on this level. </p>
<p>I spent some time on days off walking around outside, and getting to know the town. I spent a few days in Burlington after graduating college during some music travels, but that was along ways ago. It’s a small town, no skyscrapers, or big office buildings, its sprawling, so it does have the feel of neighborhoods and areas of other towns. </p>
<p>One of my favorite things was going to rehearse in the woods, and to do a day drive off the grid in east coast snow. I remember this cold and snow, it’s for real, but they take care of the roads very well, and it just works. </p>
<p>Spending so many years in the NW, of all the places on the east, this feels most like home. After leaving my stuff set up at the studio for 10 days and creating w some folks that are on the same page, it was bittersweet to leave, I’d be happy if it just kept going! Still some work to do before this stuff is ready to share, but there are a few more items on the stove, some even in the fridge so to speak, so I’ll be announcing and releasing some other exciting music before this is ready. Meanwhile, ready to take some time to rest up, and get back to it. </p>
<p>Here’s a snap of Ben & Ray two days ago. Cheers!</p>
<p> </p>

RIP Chick Corea
<p>Chick Corea to the highest level of Heaven A tribute in honor of the G.O.A.T. Thanks for showing us what is humanly possible in regards to all time greatness, mastery, and artistic expression. I’m so grateful to have met this man and seen him perform several times. Light as a Feather a genius for the ages, a giant who walked this earth, forever echoing now, then, and for all times. I kept this ticket stub from when I toured Europe w RHS, North Sea Jazz Fest - I saw Oscar Pederson, Herbie Hancock, Santana, Pharaoh Sanders, George Benson, Mark Whitfield, Christian McBride, Jim Hall, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Dave Holland, Nicholas Payton, and I know I’m leaving off names. </p>
<p>I kept THIS ticket stub though, what stood out to me at 15 was two shows - Chick’s band and Herbie’s band. I left Chicks set mezmorized by his acrobatics, communication, and musicality, I had the records, I had them from the bargain bins we scoured as teens, I kept the ticket stub to remind me - I’d see the Michael Jordan of the piano. To me, at that time, Oscar was the Dr. J. Herbie was like the Magic Johnson. </p>
<p>If your still reading I will leave w one story. Herbie and Chick came to town a few years ago as a duo, RHS had access to the sound check, and for a meet and great and lecture, and Q n A. I some how got invited. Herbie couldn’t remember the chords or melody for part of one of Chicks tunes they did in the 70’s?... Chick said he forgot, so he was making it up, hoping he could hear Herbie play it, so he got on You Tube and searched for a bootleg, listened, and transcribed the part. He talked about how connected everything was, how he thinks, how he sees things. They both spoke on Miles, and like Miles, No sir. Chick was not an ordinary mind, he was extraordinary, more then that Corea was pure GENIUS, of the highest order, if he studied computers, he’d be Bill Gates, Science, he could be Einstein, I’m just saying, imho this is truth, not even debate, but you don’t have to take my work on that. Buy one of his 80+ albums that span 50+ years. </p>
<p>Before the word fusion existed, a pioneer Corea composed music that drew from a wealth of sources – jazz and Latin music his home bases, but also classical, funk and therein he co-invented fusion. “This is the mixer,” this is what is driving this ship he said, pointing to his head. He took the most demanding level of expertise and did what less then 1% of people are even capable of, he innovated, and in so doing he brought us to new heights on what was before not humanly possible. </p>
<p>RIP Jedi Master Chick Corea today a tear but then ‘return, -> to forever’ From whence he came.</p>
<p> </p>

Burlington Vermont Recording Trip Winter 2021
<p>Music Factory Founder Ari Joshua heads East. <br>1/20/2021 — Burlington, VT. <br>After quarantining, guitarist, Ari Joshua, will be collaborating with Trey Anastasio Band and Soul Monde players Russ Lawton and Ray Paczkowski next week. While it’s tough to perform live music during Covid, the creative vibrations of life are still rippling through musical hearts and hands in a Northeastern snow covered studio. </p>
<p>The Lawton/Paczkowski/AriJoshua collaboration was born from a mutual love of music, the Hammond organ, and organ trio music, but the boys intend to explore a wide variety of genres and feel during the discovery session. Ari recently released three jazz tracks available on his website www.arijoshua.com, with more music to come. </p>
<p>Jan 30, 2021 Ari is Quarantined in Room in Burlington, VT <br>An invitation to collaborate with some beautiful musicians is in motion pending a c19 test. More news here as there is not much to do in a room by ones self... other then sleep, watch tv, and shower for no reason. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/294251/0991222bbd04c953aebc88d6b5132b2bdff10525/original/e24afc60df594ca285db5b70f910b86d.jpeg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpeg" class="size_l justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>
<p>Feb 6, 2021 One Day and so far and its been wonderful. Engineer Ben Collette, Ray Pazcowski - Organ/Clav, Russ Lawton - Drums - I feel completely natural and at home so far over here. Looking forward to a week of new material! Almost too at home, so excited I may have forgotten to sleep… </p>
<p>End of Day One: listening back w Ben C! Shout outs to Ray & Russ (who are great people / Keys n Drums from SoMo, Trey Anastasio Band, and Vermont locals) Burlington is great! Quarantine isn’t so bad when there’s music at the end of the funnel! If your new here please like and follow us all for more! </p>
<p>Feb 10 Update<br>Rehearsal up in the snowy mountains of Vermont, aside from reviewing new material to record... Today, we learned about the ‘Vermont Rock’ a technique used to get mini vans out of the snow. It involves rocking the van whilst a skilled driver (not me, in this case - Russ) applies the right amount of pressure & wheel turning while two people push the car forward. As the vehicle gets pushed back, it rocks back forward due to the pressure on the ice and snow. After gaining inertia, on say the 4th rock, the driver then takes over in collaboration with an additional ‘BIG PUSH’ by the pusher people which gains yardage towards the communal goal. In serious situations such as the one experienced, it may take several reiterations of the technique to free the van back into its natural habitat (the open road).</p>

Pandemic News and Music Factory Goes Online
<p>It's been a minute but here is what I am up to. </p>
<p>I am working to try to create a platform based on the success of The Music Factory in Seattle. The Music Factory has been around for a long time now. The company started around 2005 and opened up in a it's current physical location a few years later. The last 10-15 years has given me alot of joy and pleasure both bringing music to kids and adults, and also employing some of the finest musicians around. In a way the pandemic has created a cocoon for me. There are certain things at my core that will never change. One of them being how I feel about music and it's pure awesomeness. I believe in the ultimate power of creativity and ideas and that has always been at the core of my mission. Whether it is from the perspective of performing practicing or showing others how to learn to overcome obstacles, I really believe that the human spirit and soul is worthy of being enriched and nurtured. </p>
<p>The past 2 weeks I have been building an online music school with the hopes to take my vision to more people. <br>Happy to share with you some of the developments. </p>
<p>Here is a promo video I made. </p>
<p><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="Xn_2tzKtFrU" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/Xn_2tzKtFrU/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xn_2tzKtFrU?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="180" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe><br><br>We have been hiring folks to help realize the mission. My college buddy Rob B has come on board with Justin B for marketing, Ben has helped with data migration and some video work. We have a team in Pakistan as well that is showing us some ideas of what they can help with. Lastly Heidi S. who helped with our original artwork when we opened has come on board as well. </p>
<p>Looking forward to the adventure of seeing where this can go! </p>
<p>My hope is we can employ musicians farther and wider. We always have only chosen the most creative teachers and faculty. In this time I know what it is hard on a lot of musicians - what can you do when you cannot play shows or tour. I have a vision to bring music to as many people as possible kids adults, people of all walks of life while providing jobs to really creative people all over! </p>
<p>Peace! <br>Ari </p>

Ari Joshua plays Languedoc Custom Guitars
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would like to take a moment to thank Paul Languedoc of Languedoc Custom Guitars for making this beautiful one of a kind custom instrument. Paul has a reputation that proceeds himself. His guitars do something no other instrument on earth can do, but you have to learn to ride them. It is like riding an untamed horse or dragon. It will sort of tell you where it wants to go but you have to have done the work to access those levels.<br><br>Some day I will go into detail about all the things that went into making this happen but ultimately it was timing, and luck.</p>

'Granmama' written for my 'Granny Queenie' (version from 2012)
<p>This is a recording I found in my hard drive today. My Granny Queenie from South Africa.</p>
<p>It must the first reference recording I made of this.<br>She passed and I wrote this one for her - the time stamp on this was the summer of 2012 the year she passed away.</p>
<p>Just discovering all this really great stuff from that year and other years as well.</p>
<p>She valued family so much, and I learned so much about where I came from, from her stories and her brilliant mind.<br>We never called her 'Grammama' it was always 'Granny Queenie' but it flows nicely. </p>
<p>With Love,</p>

Bioluminescent Sounds - Ableton Live Production
<p>For years I have been producing music and performing under the name GUITARI using new ways to incorporate the guitar into electronic music production.</p>

<p>I had the honor to tour Iceland, Sweden, Germany and Copenhagen last winter with my dear friend Ilen Halogram. While on that trip we did a collaborative effort with an incredible crew of Video Mapping Genius's called <a contents="Xenorama" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://xenorama.com/" target="_blank">Xenorama</a>. Check them out they are incredible. This is a stereo bounce of a performance I did with a live set I built for the collaboration.</p>
<p><br>Check out these links to Xenorama, Potsdam's coolest guys!<br><a contents="Oneironaut Projections on Buildings" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://xenorama.com/portfolio/oneironaut/" target="_blank">Oneironaut Projections on Buildings</a><br><a contents="Oneironaut" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://xenorama.com/portcat/interactive/" target="_blank">Various other interactive projects of Xenorama</a></p>
<p>I have to give it up for Forrest Rousch my buddy who really taught me so much! I have often used the GR55, GR20, or the VG99 (all made by ROLAND)<br>to translate the guitar signal to MIDI and access a wealth or sounds previously only available for Synth and Keyboard players. The tones and sounds are different with a guitar, you often get some glitches, and due to the dynamics or the strings you get some really unique responses.</p>
<p>While I usually write 'on the guitar' and then put the music into DAW, alot of really cool sounds have come from playing into the DAW directly and trying to<br>track layers - that is the case here.</p>
<p>Like alot of the material heading for this blog, this is not a 'final mix' but feel free to share it, as you wish, it is just a quick bounce of this track.</p>

Ari Joshua - New Music - Share Portal
<p>Hello friends - Let the Blog Begin:</p>
<p>Finally getting around to putting some bells and whistles on this new website.<br>We will be posting music we plan to have or have not yet released exclusively on this ARIJOSHUA.COM<br>new BLOG page. There are 1000's of hours of tapes, mini discs, wav/aiff/mp3 files, multi track recordings, and stereo<br>bootleg style recordings to sort through. The material has building up to create a small island, and it is time to lift the cork on the bottle and let out he bubbly goodness.</p>
<p>Kicking it off the flow of music is a recent recording session that took place a few months ago at Litho Studio's<br>this session featured Will Lone on Drums, Joel Bean on Piano, and two upright bassists; *Jonti Siman, and<br>*Geoff Harper!<br> </p>
<p>The Track is Nun Kommit is Weider - which we called 'No Comment is Weirder' in the studio.<br>*as with many tracks in this Blog this is a Rough Mix (not a final release) in this case we are working on a official release :)</p>

a Love Song....
<p>Here you go this was a song from some one I love very much, but she slipped away, not in a general sense, and not in a left this world sense in the sense that the person I was falling for was in my imagination, and in order for it to work the person she really was either had to move with me or I had to accept that we were not made for each other. </p><p>It all sort of took its own road from there but she wondered from afar if I ever wrote her a song. </p><p>My darlings, all my dear and close friends are in my songs. I hear the melodies as I sleep as I wake up as I sit down the melodies are always there. </p><p>This is an emotional one. Worth sharing. Like I would prescribe this melody to anyone in a similar situation. </p><p>I love you. I just can't figure out why. But it is not that I don't love you.</p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/46eb4c6fe0aa1d79361daf8963e3b0fe83bc7dcc/original/music-factory-logo-small.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />

Guitari time - from The Playa to the Chill Tent
<p>I really loved Bass Nectar for a while, I saw him and met him when he was DJ Lauren. Sawka was doing stuff with him or at least friends of his. He would come up and play off grid parties when Burning Man was like on the ground floor still.</p><p>This demo is for a track called Mezmorized I think I named if after one of his songs I was influenced by.</p><p>Look probably very few folks are gonna check this out... but if you like EDM I made this in Ableton Live<br>taught me self alot of sound design tricks just hours and long nights and just working away.</p><p>Like all the stuff like this it would cost like 2k to finish this so it sat on the shelf.</p><p>Maybe I will fix her up and release some day. I mean maybe it's good enough. I could see this in an Avatar movie or some sci fi game. Maybe they would pay for it! lol.</p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/01be1c4142ff1b706c10960651fd50a65e9d6790/original/screenshot-2023-08-20-at-3-18-19-am.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />

Suri Goalia - a beautiful prayer song
<p>Demo mix of a song arranged for a nice instrumentation.</p><p>Beautiful song I think it was Hilel Tigay that brought this one to my attention.

This is a demo not mixed, but ready enough to share.</p><p>Chava Mirel - Voice<br>Craig Judelman - Violin<br>Ari Zucker - Guitar Voice<br>Matt Sircely - Mandolin</p><p>Pretty sure this is a new version of an ancient prayer song from Iraq!</p><p>Suri Go'ali Yah <br>Maher v'ha Hesh Pedut, <br>Ya'aleh Yefefiyah </p><p>" Rise up and bring redemption.

What would Jimi Hendrix do if he was here? Castles Made of Sand Demo...

2012 - Space Bunnies another with my really amazing student
<p>This student just had an incredible ability to write lyrics and stick along with me for the ride when pulling music out of the air.</p><p>Just an amazing kid. He was on the spectrum a little, and he just came in and really loved it. So I really advocate for music lessons for all and for songwriting as therapy.</p><p> </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/294251/b69dc8679ca3c80cfcbb8eee1a644df6d65c784f/original/screenshot-2023-08-20-at-3-06-13-am.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" />
