[Album] PAT VAN DYKE - "Technicolor Hi-Fi"

The latest release from Elementality sees Pat Van Dyke, producer/drummer of the jazz/hip-hop/fusion duo Lux DeVille, go out on the solo tip with his first full-length entitled "Technicolor Hi-Fi". The instrumental project does a great job of balancing hip-hop rhythms with melodic jazz solos and ensemble sections. On 44 minutes spread out over ten songs, PVD provides a great listening experience with a warmth that'll help you block out the cold winter that's slowly approaching. Featured instrumentalists include such talented musicians as Joshua Davis Barrett (bass; of Q-Tip fame), Jesse Fischer (rhodes & synths; known from Soul Cycle), Jordan Piper (Wurlitzer electric piano), Jordan Scanella (electric bass), and Ben Zeff + Jamieson Ledonio (electric guitars) - look ma, no samples! Peep the music video for the title song up top, stream the complete LP below, and order the limited 2xLP set @ Cotter Records ASAP!
