Check it out, its a reworking the "Dilla Donuts" album on live instruments! Every February its "Dilla month" as we celebrate James Dewitt Yancey's birth, passing & the release of his classic album "Donuts" ten years ago. The heavens blessed us with an extra day in Dilla Month this year, so we're gonna make the most of it... Way down in picturesque Auckland, New Zealand, tucked inside a small basement studio, musician Leonard Charles and his friends secretly paid the ultimate tribute to the seminal release by re-recording the entire 31-track album on live instruments. Charles gives a funky reinterpretation of the tracks on live bass, drums, Hohnor clavinet, Fender Rhodes and Roland synths, but sans any sampling of the original source nor sourced material. Featuring vocals by Ruby Walsh, Anji Toy and Very Special Guest Georgia Anne Muldrow on the emotional tribute "Airworks (Forever)". Leonard Charles "Basement Donuts" will be released in two Volumes...Sides A & B are fifteen tracks running over 23-minutes, , Sides C & D [HNR62] will be available in April, plus vinyl coming soon !
