Jamire Williams “EFFECTUAL” CD

*Commentary: Mitsutaka Yagira (Jazz The New Chapter)
*2 bonus tracks included only on the Japanese version

This is the most insane avant-garde jazz album by the talented drummer Jamire Williams, who is also a member of the Robert Glasper Trio!

This gorgeous album features two key figures in the Los Angeles music scene, Carlos Niño as producer and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson on strings, as well as the French genius pianist/composer Chassol, who is recognized by Gilles Peterson! It's a powerful album that combines the best of Robert Glasper and Flying Lotus!

His impressive playing with the Robert Glasper Trio has been a hot topic, and he has an overwhelming presence in the current jazz scene. His activities have attracted a lot of attention, including his participation in the solo album ``The New Breed'' by Tortoise guitarist Jeff Parker, and his album ``Conflict of a Man'' released in 2012 with ERIMAJ, a cutting-edge unit formed by members active at the forefront of the New York jazz scene, which reached number one on the US iTunes jazz chart. This is his debut album under his own name and is released on Leaving Records, the mecca of LA beat, run by Matthew David, who has also released works on Brainfeeder, the famous label that represents Flying Lotus and Kamasi Washington. Combining the jazz elements he developed with the Robert Glasper Trio and an experimental spirit that rivals that of Bling Lotus, his dizzyingly fast and virtuoso drum playing boasts spectacular content that transcends the boundaries of jazz fans and dance music fans alike!
