{"product_id":"dezron-douglas-atalaya","title":"Dezron Douglas – Atalaya","description":"\u003cp\u003eATALAYA is new work by bassist Dezron Douglas, and it is alive. That is, ‘alive’ in all the ways that jazz is at its best – as a pure and personal expression of Black Music channeled through time-honored traditions by a group of musicians who practice sonic coherence through musical unity. As Dezron puts it in the opening statement of his liner notes for the album: “Mysticism, Magic, Faith, Love, Power, Discernment! These are words that embody the creative process of Music.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowers of contemporary jazz might recognize Dezron for his bass work behind Pharoah Sanders, Louis Hayes, or Ravi Coltrane. Others might know him as the newest full-time member of the Trey Anastasio Band. Steady International Anthem listeners might remember him from the New York side of Makaya McCraven's Universal Beings. More recently we presented Force Majeure, Dezron’s sublime duo record with harpist Brandee Younger, which compiled the best of livestream performances from their Harlem apartment during the original covid lockdown. That album, which came out in December of 2020, reflected the speed and feeling of the moment while somehow simultaneously distracting from the harsh reality of it. It also captured a very vulnerable, intimate, and real impression of Dezron on double bass, sharing his power and truth without abandon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eATALAYA, similarly, wasn’t processed in the lab, but rather, captured in the room. The realness factor is once again forefront in the sound; but the difference is in the energy and ambition of the music, which reaches for the stratosphere. Again, let’s defer to Dezron here: “Welcome to the Black Lion rocket ship.” - \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0r2hmzf2EaR81KRTejRGQ3?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 50.1266%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 17.9167%; height: 44.8px; text-align: left;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 82.0833%; height: 44.8px;\"\u003eInternational Anthem Recording Company – IARC0058\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 17.9167%; height: 22.4px; text-align: left;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 82.0833%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eVinyl, \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 17.9167%; height: 22.4px; text-align: left;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 82.0833%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eUS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 17.9167%; height: 22.4px; text-align: left;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 82.0833%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e18th Nov 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 17.9167%; height: 22.4px; text-align: left;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 82.0833%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 17.9167%; height: 22.4px; text-align: left;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 82.0833%; height: 22.4px;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/style\/contemporary%20jazz\" hreflang=\"en\" class=\"link_1ctor\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eContemporary Jazz, Free Improvisation\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/style\/free%20improvisation\" hreflang=\"en\" class=\"link_1ctor\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"International Anthem Recording Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42290569543838,"sku":"11243","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Dezron-Douglas.jpg?v=1670489532","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/dezron-douglas-atalaya","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
