{"product_id":"terrace-martin-velvet-portraits-cd","title":"Terrace Martin – Velvet Portraits (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVelvet Portraits landed in 2016 as a statement of purpose from one of South Central's most versatile musical minds, a saxophonist and producer whose fingerprints were already all over Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly. The album draws a direct line between the jazz tradition and contemporary West Coast hip-hop and R\u0026amp;B, with Martin operating as bandleader, instrumentalist, and architect all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEver restless, Terrace came right out of the Kendrick sessions blazing - producing for YG and Herbie Hancock simultaneously while putting the finishing touches on his next solo release - Velvet Portraits. Choosing a groundbreaking path, he chose to release the album on his new label - Sounds Of Crenshaw, and join the growing family of label imprints in the Ropeadope collaborative network. \"... The Sound Of Crenshaw is in everything I touch, from Kendrick to Herbie. So, with SOC I'm gonna bring it all back and give y'all the whole package: 100% the Sound of Crenshaw.\" Velvet Portraits, a 2017 Grammy Nominated record for Best R\u0026amp;B Album, is a wide ranging record with a common distinct style. With a core band of Terrace Martin on sax, Curly Martin on drums, Brandon Eugene Owens on bass, and Robert 'Sput' Searight on keys, Velvet Portraits also features appearances from Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, Lalah Hathaway, Thundercat, Rose Gold, Tiffany Gouche, Marlon Williams and more. Recorded in Omaha, Nebraska and Los Angeles, Velvet Portraits portrays the evolution of Martin as a player, producer, and a musician with a deep sense of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Velvet Portraits (1:33)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Valdez Off Crenshaw (4:31)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Push (4:36)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. With You (4:08)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Curly Martin (7:21)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Never Enough (5:32)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Turkey Taco (4:02)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Patiently Waiting (7:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Tribe Called West (2:34)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Oakland (4:23)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Bromali (3:37)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. Think Of You (5:48)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13. Reverse (3:07)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e14. Mortal Man (11:46)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 888295415415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ropeadope\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.11.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48875238949019,"sku":"500524","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-terrace-martin-velvet-portraits-cd-relix.jpg?v=1783306351","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/terrace-martin-velvet-portraits-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
