New Review of Jamal's Debut CD

 

Jamal Hurse – Follow Your Bliss

By Brent-Anthony Johnson

 

 

“Kinetic solo bass”…?  Definitely from “somewhere else” bass!  Now that we understand no music can be described verbally… Jamal’s music feels like “Brand X meets Heavy Metal meets Omar Faruk Tekbilek”.   This is improvisational music on the edge, to be certain – but without the constant missing of other instrumentation!   The implied percussion and vocalization are very present in each of the disc’s 8 solo pieces.  Lovers of Percy Jones, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, and/or the earlier works of Dann Glenn will really dig Jamal’s approach to the electric bass guitar – as well as his singular journey to a musical world shown to far too few.

 

Jamal Hurse was born in 1965 with bilateral congenital hearing loss, which caused him to hear casual conversation and intermittent sounds as rhythmic cadences.  His 41 years on planet earth has forged his art – resulting in one of the purest and utterly heartfelt expressions I’ve ever heard!   Imagine a conversation with a dearest loved one… across a thousand mile chasm.  Or, imagine a rain dance… in deep space.  The tune “Deceptive River” is my personal favorite!  Jamal’s sound is at once most engaging, while at the same time it is one of the loneliest sounds on earth!  This cat is telling a beautiful story!  For a profound lesson on the subject of musical insights “Follow Your Bliss” is a must own disc!  Check out Jamal Hurse at www.jamalbass.net, and hear him at Myspace.com!
