Kaleidoscope People, by Wil Blades

Kaleidoscope People

by Wil Blades

supported by

Philip Graham Wonderful--instantly creates a chill jazz mood and never stops. Favorite track: Second Rate.

World of Echo Got hipped to this via Jeff Parker's Instagram as he guests on track three. This is very groovy and warm jazz-funk. I've been bumping this on my headphones while I walk through Astoria as of late, and it matches the vibe of the neighborhood so well.

mistertownsend Leave a few instruments in the hands of Will Blades, combine it with a little bit of isolation, and watch him come up with some grooves that will move your head.
