Originally released in 2018. Following on from previous release Live At The Vagabond (2017) and AfroKuti: A Tribute To Fela (2018), Camden Session is a snapshot of the band's explosive energy, groove-heavy sequences, and unrivalled togetherness. Their playing is modern and innovative, yet contains rich echoes of Weather Report, Return to Forever, early Earth Wind and Fire, and Zappa. DJ Harrison is broadly seen as the visionary in an albeit egalitarian band. His keys provide the harmonic colors around which drummer Corey Fonville's (Christian Scott, Nicholas Payton) muscular delivery and bassist Andrew Randazzo's effortless cool pulsate. Multi-instrumentalist Marcus Tenney on saxophone/trumpet and Morgan Burr's guitar complete the quintet. Recorded at Mark Ronson's Zelig Studios and cut live to disc at Gearbox Records in London using an all-analogue signal path. Mixed and engineered by the legendary Tony Platt. No edits, no overdubs.
"A quintet that plays funky, frisky music equally influenced by jam bands, hip-hop D.J.s and 1970s fusion. Their star is on the rise." --New York Times
"Masters of full-on, soul-kissed, garage punk-funk and jazz grooves -- progressive rappers should be queuing out the door for their blessing." --Mojo
"The band settles into nuanced grooves with an innate respect for the past, a reverence for the Headhunters, Stevie Wonder, the Meters and the voodoo of the tape machine." --Huffington Post

Dedicated to innovation, informed by a love of the past, Butcher Brown's sound is a modernist fusion, fizzing with explosive energy, rich in jazz licks and astonishing with raw musicality. Gearbox Records presents this, their first ever multi format global release. It's a hometown gig (Richmond, Virginia) and the electrifying energy reminds listeners how vital a live album should be. The players were all born after the mid-'70s, fusion's golden age, but their modern, hiphop inflected funk has rich echoes of Return To Forever and early Earth Wind and Fire. This is the sound of a band on the verge of a brilliant future.
