German guitarist, bandleader and producer JJ Whitefield has been spearheading several musical sub-genres over the last two decades. His bands Poets of Rhythm, Whitefield Brothers and Karl Hector and The Malcouns are almost legendary to fans worldwide. He has been releasing influential albums on Ninja Tune, Mo‘Wax, Daptone, Strut, Stones Throw and Now-Again and is probably one of the most respected German undergound musicians. Now he is reaching new levels of nastiness with his Kraut-Jazz debut for Kryptox music. The new german label that has been created to show what´s happening in the growing german Neo-Jazz underground. A label collaboration between Gomma and K7 Records.Brother All Alone is Whitefield´s first album under his own name. Recorded in Berlin, Munich and Nairobi with some of the most interesting heads of the German Neo-Jazz-Kraut scene and mixed by Malcolm Catto of The Heliocentrics. Whitefield is an innovator in the experimental kraut, deep funk, neo jazz scene. A melting pot of styles and influences, drawing from Kraut, Jazz, Ambient and world music heritages. The album starts with two quite calm songs: Seven Seas in 7/8 rhythm and 14/08: a symmetrical rhythm of a 3/ 3/ 2/ 3/ 3 beat, which makes a total of fourteen 8th notes. Then Zone 30 takes over: an improvisation with a very slow tempo that opens of for White Queen. Dreckstück creates a slightly different atmopshere: Its a complex 39/16 rhythm. A punky Jazz track that made the Whitefield band almost start a rebellion against his leader while reharsaling it because of it's extreme complexity.The album closes with the beautiful Nirguna: an ambient indian drone experiment.
