Jean-Paul Bourelly & The Bluwave Bandits
Live! Fade To Cacophony
Album JP 1995 on DIW label
Jazz and R&B/Soul (Jazz-Funk, Psychedelic)
This record was recorded at various live concerts around the world featuring his BluWave Bandits. The Japnese recordings have Reggie Washington on bass. There are exceptions of two studio recordings. On of them "Brothas on Mars" features some of the earlist live band hip hop this side of Sugar Hill. Featuring the ever hyper Kundalini Mark Batson who Bourelly grabbed right out of DC's Howard University and lends some fiercely creative hip hop atmosphere. Bourelly was already experimenting with hip hop aesthetics. "Toxic You Love" is a funk groove turned surreal, loaded with other worldly sound and builds to an extactic end with Bourellys irrepressible guitar blazing pass the fade out. No joke just check it! Had Jimi Hendrix lived long enough to hear Grandmaster Flash, Public Enemy or Ice-T, he might have sounded something like unconventional guitarist singer/rapper Jean-Paul Bourelly.
