Baby Elephant: Turn My Teeth Up!

Funky man!

Baby Elephant is a project started by three musicians having a hell of a good time in the studio and inviting their friends to join in. Keyboard legend Bernie Worrell got a call from producer and DJ Prince Paul and Don Newkirk makes it three. The result is an album called Turn My Teeth Up!

Baby Elephant: Turn My Teeth Up!

It's not hiphop played over jazz (and thank God for that), but an exploration of the members musical backgrounds. And if Worrel is playing, you will get David Byrne, George Clinton, Nona Hendryx and a host of other alumni to touch up the basic tracks. It's not a party record, but it will cheer you up. If you can handle funky soul rhythms with a easy going flow on top, add this to your albums to buy list pronto.

Turn My Teeth Up! is released through godforsakenmusic.com. Release date: September 11.

Lotus: Escaping Sargasso Sea

Lotus

Lotus is one those bands who create a following by word-of-mouh. Playing meandering lengthy songs without any vocals won't get you much airplay, but the jam bands crowd will discover you when you keep playing live. If you are any good, that is.

This band from Philadelphia can play like a ten-handed monster and their latest album, the 2CD Escaping Sargasso Sea captures them live during their Fall 2006 tour. They slip into genres with ease, from electronic dance tunes to jazzy post-rock goodness. If you thought that progressive rock music died in the late seventies, picking up this album will set the record straight.

Buy Escaping Sargasso Sea.

Words about music (165): Jeff Tweedy

Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either.
