Well in 1992 there was a little Acid Jazz club that formed at a Greek restaurant on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, CA. through friends of friends and at a point when the musical influences in hop hop, jazz, and reggae were probably at its peak as far as creativity goes in the music industry. And if you were part of the industry, then this is where you had to be…. BRASS. Brass was the name of the club and for anyone who was there?, well then this mix is dedicated to you! 75 mins (song for song) of every chune that was played regularly at the weekly Sunday sessions and one off parties thrown by the Brass crew including the first ever promoted shows in L.A. of The Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, Guru’s Jazzmatazz, The Roots, Born Jamericans, The Pharcyde, MC Solaar, along with some Roy Ayers shows for the good vibes.: The Brass Crew: Orlando aka EMC-0, Marques Wyatt, DJ P, and myself alongside Dave Felts, and with respect to DJ Cid, Jesse De La Pena in Chicago, Gerry V in S.F., and all the jazz funkin' peops of San Diego, CA.The Guest List: In no particular order; Marques, Orlando, Paul Stewart aka DJ P, Dave Felts, Cid Hernandez aka DJ Cid.
