Will Sessions - Kindred feat. Wendell Harrision b/w Polyester People feat. Jeremy Ellis (7")
In advance of their upcoming jazz fusion album comes a re-release of 2 original songs from the band’s now hard-to-?nd 2010 album, Kindred. The ?rst side features legendary saxophonist, Wendell Harrison, who is best known for his work on Detroit’s renowned Tribe record label. ‘Kindred’ is a dark and heady composition reminiscent of Miles Davis’s fusion-era material, which despite its abstractions, is underpinned by a heavy, head-nodding groove. On the ?ip is ‘Polyester People’, an explosive, uptempo jam which shows off the keyboard skills of Jeremy Ellis. Despite being best known for playing the drum machine alongside the Roots on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Ellis is an incredible keyboardist in his own right. His contribution on the Fender Rhodes calls to mind Herbie Hancock’s best work with the Headhunters, and the band never lets up under him
