Since 2014's Afrophysicist, trumpeter Theo Croker has been expanding upon his funky, stylistically far-reaching jazz sound with ever more electric and electronic influences. He takes this approach even further on 2019's cosmically expansive Star People Nation. The album follows his equally ambitious 2016 effort Escape Velocity and once again finds him backed by his ensemble featuring saxophonist Irwin Hall, keyboardist Michael King, bassist Eric Wheeler, and drummer Kassa Overall. Also joining him again is co-executive producer Karriem Riggins, who previously played drums on Afrophysicist and has worked with such luminaries as J Dilla, Esperanza Spalding, Common, and others. Star People Nation is a stylistically balanced album, deftly counterpoised between spacy '70s world fusion, modal jazz, alternative R&B, and forward-thinking hip-hop. It brings to mind classic works by Eddie Henderson, George Duke, and Donald Byrd, the latter of whom Croker was mentored by while a student at Oberlin College. The opening "Have You Come to Stay" is a slowly rolling electro-space-mantra that emerges like an interstellar transmission from a hazy sparkle of keyboards before giving way to a cascade of overdubbed horn lines and two transcendent solos from Croker and Hall. Similarly spacy, "Subconscious Flirtations & Titillations" finds Croker evoking a dreamy, Miles Davis-esque futurism as he contrasts his warm, breathy horn against bug-like digital motifs, sparkling piano, and an analog bass'n'drum rhythm. "Wide Open" also has a Miles-ian quality, as Croker swims through dizzying underwater trap beats and aquamarine synths as he blows long bubble lines with his muted, EFX-laden trumpet. Elsewhere, he brings on board several guests including vocalist Rose Gold on the sensual "Getaway Gold," pianist ELEW on the minor-key "The Messenger," and Jamaican singer Chronixx, who helps elevate the atmosphere even higher on the socially conscious "Understand Yourself," as Croker mixes tropical club-jazz with African percussion and deep tropical vibes. ~ Matt Collar

商品の紹介

新世代ジャズ・トランペッター= Theo Croker(セオ・クロッカー)3年ぶりのアルバム『Star People Nation』

コンテンポラリー・ミュージックとして新たな潮流を生み出し続けるジャズ・シーンにおいて、注目のトランペッター、セオ・クロッカーによるOkehからの3年ぶりとなる3rdアルバム。Okehからの1枚目『Afro Physicist』(2014年)では、ジャズの枠を越えて、ロック、ファンク、アフロ、トリップホップ、フリー、スムースといつたあらゆる要素を取り入れ、彼自身が"ダーク・ファンク"と呼ぶサウンドを実現。前作『Escape Velocity』(2016年)は、自身が率いるバンドDVRK FUNK(ダーク・ファンク)を従えてのレコーディングで、スピリチュアルな曲からアップビートな曲まで、息の合ったプレイでダーク・ファンクの世界観を表現した。その後、長年の活動の拠点であったNYからLAに移り住み、18ケ月をかけて今作『Star People Nation』のレコーディングは行われた。今作についてセオ・クロッカーは、「黒人男性としての自身のアイデンティティを、ブラック・アメリカン・ミュージックの解釈にあてはめるのに30年の歳月が必要だった。」と語る。ミックスとマスタリングのエンジニアには、エリカ・バドゥやディアンジェロとの仕事で知られるボブ・パワーを迎え、テオ・クロッカーのスピリチュアルな世界観とサウンドを支えている。アルバムからのリード曲となる「 Subconscious Flirtations and Titillations」は、高速ビートを刻むドラムとパッションにあふれるピアノのグルーヴの上に乗るエモーショナルなトランペットが印象的な、アルバム全体を象徴する楽曲となっている。
