Description
LA-based composer/arranger E Lundquist (aka Eric Borders) returns with 'Art Between Minds'. Having cut his teeth in the LA hip-hop and beats scene and explored realms of cosmic-funk under previous monikers, E. Lundquist's music displays a rich tapestry of influences including the cinematic & experimental jazz-infused library music that influenced his previous LP 'Multiple Images'. Now he is back with another ample helping of his hallucinogenic sonics, utilizing a bevy of vintage gear to replicate that warm glow of '70s jazz-funk. From the Fender Rhodes MKI to the ARP Odyssey, to the Mellotron, the keys and synths he employs on these tracks display a genuine appreciation for the groove-driven music of The 'Me" Decade.
The album plays like the score to a cult classic B-movie. The sun-drenched haze of "Soliloquy" could easily be what you hear during the calm before the storm in a Blaxploitation flick and the laidback crawl of "Euphoria" seems ripped right out of a fuzzy '70s blue movie. But there is a certain sophistication here, like the way the horn section, slinky guitar, and trippy synths combine on "Escape" to sound like liquid one moment and like a summer breeze the next.
While E. Lundquist's artistry will eventually take him to new plateaus of sound, where he is right now is undoubtedly a high watermark in his career. He has become a torchbearer for jazz-funk in a new jazz revolution, updating the sub-genre with his delicate balance of digital and analog elements that will easily appeal to fans of Kamaal Williams, Surprise Chef, BADBADNOTGOOD, Khurangbin, Robohands and similar.
