Sound Check at 6 (Recorded LIVE!) - Du-Rites (Vinyl)

Vinyl LP pressing. It's ironic that The Du-Rites (J-Zone and Pablo Martin) are already on their fourth album in three years when you consider the group began as a back burner endeavor. More ironic is the fact that the duo has become a live outfit over the past year, considering two multi-instrumentalists can't play 2-3 instruments at the same exact time. With Jay playing drums and keys and Pablo playing guitar and also holding down keys (both of them contribute on bass guitar), it was impossible to execute The Du-Rites live on stage. An offer to play NYC's prestigious Symphony Space (at The Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater) on Valentine's Day 2019 was too sweet a gig to pass up on logistics, so The Du-Rites went back in the woodshed, adding Bill Harvey to handle bass guitar duties and Martin's fellow Tom Tom Club member, Bruce Martin (no relation), to not only take over on keyboards, but add a whole new layer of groove by doubling up on percussion. Both Bill and Bruce put their own personal stamps on The Du-Rites sound without subtracting from it, making Soundcheck at 6 a Cadillac brougham-tastic, cosmic excursion in neckbone funk!
