Max Beasley's High Vibes "Zeus" CD

★Supervision and commentary: Kanazawa Toshikazu (Light Mellow)

This is the first full-length album by High Vibes, fronted by British multi-instrumentalist Max Beesley, who released two 12-inch albums on Boogie Back in 1993 and 1994, at the height of the acid jazz movement!

"Max Beesley is a British multi-instrumentalist with a background in jazz and classical music, who primarily plays the vibraphone, but also drums, percussion and piano. After joining Paul Weller's band, he has also performed with Incognito, the Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai and Lisa Stanfield. On this first full-length album, he presents an incredibly cool and stimulating funk fusion in sessions with Steve Gadd, whom he met while performing with George Benson, as well as Dean Parks and the highly talked-about unit Horn House. This is real crossover for the modern era." -- Kanazawa Toshikazu
The first album by High Vibes, the project of Max Beesley, a British multi-instrumentalist who has performed with a number of notable artists, is being released by German label Legere, known for releases by Young Gun Silver Fox and Mama's Gun!
