{"product_id":"the-nje-afloat-new-cd","title":"The NJE * Afloat - New CD","description":"Swiftly abbreviated to The NJE, this Near Jazz Experience was formed by multi-instrumentalist Terry Edwards, bassist Mark Bed- ford and drummer Simon Charterton in the spring of 2010. Look no further than the Hendrix cover, Voodoo Child for a way into their world. The familiar reinvented and taken to a parallel world. Born out of a love of improvised music which was accessible (funky beats and grooves) yet experi- mental enough to break the mould of middle-of-the-road jamming, the trio built up a following at a residency at the monthly Sartorial Records music nights. The NJE perform music intuitively, with an ear to accessible beats \u0026amp; tonality with Edwards melodic flights of fancy dancing over the top. Afloat came about after several record- ing sessions, both in concert and in the studio, and completed by the band using harsh editing techniques overseen by Hot Chip front- man Alexis Taylor at the mixdown stage. The albums seven tracks are complimented by the addition of four previously released down- load\/vinyl tracks! Mainstays of the NJE sound are Edwards double-sax technique - playing alto \u0026amp; tenor simultaneously, Chartertons poly- rhythmic funk patterns and Bedfords fluid but grounding basslines. The whole is a near-jazz experience...\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/6\/17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The NJE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49857249116406,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2160\/4233\/files\/the-nje-afloat_7DrX8.jpg?v=1767907321","url":"https:\/\/curiouscollectionstx.com\/en-de\/products\/the-nje-afloat-new-cd","provider":"Curious Collections Vinyl Records \u0026 More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
