Thus speaks \u003cstrong\u003eBrian Jackson\u003c\/strong\u003e and his philosophy for making music and it's indeed collaboration that runs through this amazing album of reimagined and revisited songs from his artistic past. Featuring artists such as \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Thought\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRahsaan Patterson\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJosh Milan\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMoodymann\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eOmar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJ. Ivy\u003c\/strong\u003e and others and being produced by \u003cstrong\u003eMasters At Work\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNow More Than Ever\u003c\/em\u003e takes the enduring classic tracks that Brian made with \u003cstrong\u003eGil Scott-Heron\u003c\/strong\u003e and places them in the now over nineteen tracks and across a triple vinyl LP and CD release. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSongs such as Lady Day \u0026amp; John Coltrane, \u003cem\u003eThe Revolution Will Not Be Televised\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHome Is Where The Hatred Is\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWinter In America\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Bottle\u003c\/em\u003e and more soundtracked a generational movement of Black Consciousness in the 70s and 80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Brian says, 'This album is one way to connect to what we were about in the 70s; we were about change and this is part of the lineage of resistance. These tracks mark a period of time when resistance was essential and now a younger generation has picked them up.' 'As young men in their twenties we (Brian and Gil) just wrote about what we saw and were feeling and people interpreted these songs in ways we never thought about but as Sly stone said the song comes from me but it's for you.' This statement from Brian perfectly sums up the collaborative nature of Now More Than Ever and the relevance of these songs in a contemporary perspective can be perfectly summed up by the songs themselves. The formidable stable of artists contributing to each track and the excellent production from \u003cstrong\u003eLouie Vega\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eKenny 'Dope' Gonzalez\u003c\/strong\u003e make this album an event in itself. However, these songs are there to be enjoyed as a canon or as individual masterpieces, whether on the dancefloor or on a home system. Available as a high res. digital release or a triple vinyl LP Now More Than Ever just has to be in everybody's music collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BBE Music","offers":[{"title":"2CD","offer_id":58014198989145,"sku":"SDZ-45648","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vinyl 3LP","offer_id":58014199021913,"sku":"SDZ-45649","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/37a967a8b3874aecb7d295993351b859.jpg?v=1778239472","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/brian-jackson-now-more-than-ever","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
