Dynamite—is stepping forward with a vision his own: The Powers That Be. This album marks a new chapter for an artist whose fingerprints have been all over the modern soul and funk landscape. As co-founder of Truth \u0026amp; Soul Records, Dynamite was instrumental in the New York soul revival that grew from Desco, Soul Fire, Truth \u0026amp; Soul, and Daptone Records. He became a producer on Aloe Blacc’s Good Things album and later brought his ear for groove and atmosphere to video-game music as a soundtrack producer for Rockstar Games on GTA V and RDR 2.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith The Powers That Be, J. Dynamite reunites with many of the musicians who helped define the funk and soul resurgence. The album features Grammy-winning bassist Nick Movshon, with credits including T\u0026amp;S productions, Aloe Blacc’s “I Need a Dollar” and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black; Stuart Bogie (Antibalas, TV on the Radio, Sharon Jones \u0026amp; The Dap-Kings) on flute and saxophone; guitarist Luke O’Malley (Antibalas, The Roots); keyboardist Jake Pinto (Magic City Hippies); Miles Francis (Antibalas, EMEFE) on drums; vibraphonist Angelo Outlaw; Grammy-winning Latin percussionist Reinaldo DeJesus; Vincent John (Eraserhood Sound); and a cast of longtime collaborators.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite the history of the musicians involved, The Powers That Be is deliberately not a nostalgia trip. Dynamite turns the accumulated experience of a long career into something immediate, personal, and forward-looking. The album is not a retrospective but a chance to hear what happens when a producer with decades of musical history finally puts his own name at the center of the record. For longtime followers, it marks the return of a producer whose influence can be traced through much of the soul and funk renaissance of the last twenty-five years. For everyone else, it is an introduction to an artist who has spent decades shaping the conversation and is finally telling his own story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIGHTY EYE RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64612899160433,"sku":"L-ME103","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/0042\/files\/mighty-eye-records-jeff-dynamite-the-powers-that-be-lp-black-vinyl-lp-jeff-dynamite-the-powers-that-be-lp-black-vinyl-199874060170-l-me103-photo-photo-photo-1259054617.jpg?v=1789604787","url":"https:\/\/www.fatbeats.com\/products\/jeff-dynamite-the-powers-that-be-lp-black-vinyl","provider":"Fat Beats","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
