JamBase Questionnaire: Cochemea Gastelum

August 26th, 2010 | No Comments

Welcome back to JamBase’s baker’s dozen to the bright lights of the music world. Last time we heard from These United States.

Whether searing the fat off jam music in Robert Walter’s 20th Congress, lighting up a Broadway stage as part of the Fela! band, keeping soul music soulful with Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, getting deep with Archie Shepp or blazing a session with the likes of Amy Winehouse and Paul Simon, NYC fixture Cochemea Gastelum is the living embodiment of “coming correct.” His crisp, lethal, adventurous sax and flute playing find the sweet spot in whatever type of music he’s involved in, and unlike many horn players, he never overstays his welcome, playing just what’s needed and leaving listeners hungry for more. Though clearly well grounded in the work of his predecessors, Gastelum synthesizes honking 50s big band rumble, 60s modal moves, 70s electricity, New Orleans slink and more in a way that simply announces a man in total command of his instrument, free of other’s fingerprints and ready to engage in whatever comes his way.

Gastelum’s long-awaited debut as bandleader, The Electric Sound of Johnny Arrow (released July 20 via MOWO! Inc.), unfurls an intoxicating array of sounds, tapping into On The Corner Miles-isms, vintage Fania salsoul, warm Brecker Brothers-esque excursions, the Latin pop of War and El Chicano, and the charged, forward thinking feel of late 60s/early 70s jazz, particularly the electric sax work of Eddie Harris and the impossible-to-place groove of Phil Woods’ European Rhythm Machine. Co-produced by Gastelum and Mocean Worker, the album rolls along layered percussion and a controlled, powered-up energy – a flowing inducement to move, to swing, to sway, aided by guest turns from Joe Russo, Brian Jordan, Zak Najor, Chris Stillwell and more.

It’s bloody sexy music, and executed so smoothly that it’s only upon further inspection that one realizes how much is actually going on. Yet, The Electric Sound of Johnny Arrow never feels overstuffed or confusingly diverse. Like Gastelum’s playing, it is exactly what it needs to be and a fantastic snapshot of a rich musical mind in full flight. (Dennis Cook)

Here’s what Gastelum had to say to our inquiries.

Cochemea Gastelum by Greg Aiello

Nickname: “Cheme” pronounced /tchem-ay/

1. Great music rarely happens withoutÂ…
Listening, letting go, and in the immortal words of Fred Wesley, playing like you don’t give a fuck.

2. The first album I bought wasÂ…
Charlie Parker’s “Hot House“

3. The last song or album to really flip my wig wasÂ…
Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Contou’s “Echos Hypnotiques”

4. When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to beÂ…
A drummer

5. My favorite sort of gig isÂ…
A sweaty dance party

6. One thing I wish people knew about me isÂ…
There are moments when I may seem detached or distant, but I just like to be quiet and watch sometimes.

7. I love the sound ofÂ…
The ocean

8. One day I hope to make an album as fantastic asÂ…
Sly & The Family Stone’s There’s A Riot Going On

9. The best meal I ever had on tour was atÂ…
Au Virage Lepic in Paris

10. I always find the coolest audiences inÂ…
Unexpected places

11. The worst habit I’ve picked up being on the road all the time isÂ…
Eating late night junk food!

12. The Beatles or the Stones? Por que?
Hmmm, probably The Beatles. My mom used to play their records all the time growing up, and I always seem to go back to their songs for some inspirado. Been on a big Stones kick lately, though.

13. The craziest thing I ever saw wasÂ…
Ornette Coleman having a jam session in his apartment.

Cheme will perform perform the entire solo album in its entirety on September 10th in New York City at 92Y Tribeca with ten piece band, including members of Antibalas and Budos Band.

Sharon Jones on Letterman

SAUCIEST OLD SCHOOL SOUL REVUE CHARMS AGAIN

It’s hard to get over HOW much better the soul music being offered by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings is than the vast majority of contemporary soul out there. One can easily imagine this tune playing on the radio next to Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and other soul pioneers back in the day. This is their performance last night on the Late Show with David Letterman.

This year’s festival features Levon Helm‘s Ramble on the Road, John Prine, Steve Martin & Steep Canyon Rangers, Yim Yames (of My Morning Jacket), The Swell Season, Andrew Bird, The Avett Brothers, Brandi Carlile, Doc Watson & David Holt, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Calexico, Blitzen Trapper, Richie Havens, Sam Bush, The Low Anthem, Tim O’Brien, The Felice Brothers, Justin Townes Earle, Tao Seeger Band, AA Bondy, Chris Thile’s Punch Brothers, Dawes, Nneka, Horse Feathers, Pokey LaFarge & the South City Three , Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore, Sarah Jarosz, Cory Chisel & the Wandering Sons, O’Death and Liz Longley. More artists will be announced at a later date.

Many of these musicians have performed and recorded together or crossed paths along the musical highway and they see this storied festival as being so steeped in cultural and historic importance that they liken it to “coming home” to the very roots of the folk-music tradition.

Wein has, since 1959, found Newport a scenic and hospitable venue for presenting the very best of this country’s blues, roots, gospel, country, bluegrass, Cajun and traditional folk music. Last year’s 50th anniversary edition paid tribute to the great performers who wrote the proud history of this festival, notably co-founder Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Arlo Guthrie and Mavis Staples.

“Newport is like a second home to me and I always look forward to the next visit,” said Wein. “After celebrating the 50th anniversary with Pete and 17,000 fans, I can’t wait to see the magic unfold over the three days.”

“There is something so perfect about being in Newport near the water and that old stone fort – all gathered in to sing with family and friends – that keeps me wanting to come back year after year,” said Yim Yames. “It’s like the walls of the fort are arms, and I feel secure when I am near them, protected by the spirits there – past, present, and future. And, I like to hear our voices bouncing off those old stone walls as my eye drifts to the sailboats on the seashore and the people just smiling and taking it all in.”

All tickets for George Wein’s Newport Folk Festival go on sale Friday, March 26, at 10:00 a.m. online, by phone and by mail. General admission tickets (single-day passes only) also can be purchased in person at the Newport Visitor Information Center, located at 23 America’s Cup Avenue.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings: New Album Pre-Order

March 18th, 2010 | No Comments

15% of Sales to be Donated to Doctors Without Borders
Fans Quick to Order to Receive Freebies

“It’s hard, maybe even impossible to upstage Sharon Jones, who fights her way through I Learned the Hard Way and channels the drama boldly and candidly.” – Pitchfork

new album

I Learned The Hard Way, the highly anticipated new album from Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings is now available for pre-ordering direct from Daptone Records.

The band and label are proud to announce that 15-percent of all pre-order sales from Daptone’s online store will be donated to Doctors Without Borders‘ Emergency Relief Fund, which will directly contribute to relief efforts in Haiti.

And making this even more special for SJDK fans are special offers for those among the first to pre-order the album. The first 1000 orders of the CD or LP will receive a FREE bonus 45 rpm single featuring the track “When I Come Home” (unreleased from the I Learned The Hard Way sessions) plus an instrumental b-side. The first 100 orders of the LP will be autographed, and all LP copies will come with a coupon to download the entire album in high-quality MP3 format. In addition, ALL pre-orders will arrive to the consumer at least one day before the official street date of April 6.

Fans can go here to purchase the album in the format of their choosing.

I Learned The Hard Way was produced by Bosco Mann and recorded on an Ampex eight-track tape machine by Gabriel Roth in Daptone Records’ House of Soul studios. The record drips with a warmth and spontaneity rarely found since the golden days of Muscle Shoals and Stax. Sharon’s raw power, rhythmic swagger, moaning soulfulness and melodic command set her firmly alongside Tina Turner, James Brown, Mavis Staples and Aretha as a fixture in the canon of soul music. From the lush Philly Soul fanfare that ushers in “The Game Gets Old” at the top of the record to the stripped down Sam Cooke-style “Mama Don’t Like My Man” at the tail, the Dap-Kings dance seamlessly through both the most crafted and simple arrangements with subtlety and discipline. I Learned The Hard Way is the “Daptone Sound” at it’s finest.
