{"product_id":"zenzile_pawn-shop_2020_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"Pawn shop","description":"Formed in 1998, SWEETBACK is a meeting of three types haunted by the libertarian and rebellious experiences of John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, and Elvin Jones, and who are already very busy blowing in Zenzile, killing their fingers in Lo'Jo, and piercing skins in several rock formations in Angers. You now understand why it took them so many years to find the time to record a sequel. Despite what their instruments might suggest, Raggy (sax), Kham (double bass), and Mehdi (drums) do not play jazz at all. In any case, not that purring and potbellied jazz that has long forgotten its wild roots. The three men have not forgotten where they come from: they have not forgotten the feeling experienced when discovering for the first time the firebrands of Fugazi, Red Snapper, or Morphine. And their music has both the punk tension of the former, the groove of the latter, and the radiant class of the third. A small cinematic orchestra in itself, SWEETBACK therefore shows in this second album all the facets of its personality: lyrical, furious, funky, punky, sensual, possessed... Like the rebellious character from the film by Melvin Van Peebles that gives it its name, the Angers trio rejects codes and labels and simply spits in the face of conventions this condensed half-century of music that it has deep in its guts. Where they are, John, Charles, and Elvin can be proud.","brand":"Zenzile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57584138223960,"sku":null,"price":23477628.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/zenzile_pawn-shop_2020_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
