LP – Classic Black 140g LP in a heavyweight reverse-board jacket with 16-page insert booklet (new for IA11, with additional photos, new liner notes written by New Breed bassist / co-producer Paul Bryan, and an in-depth conversation between JP and IARC co-founder Scott McNiece), IARC 2025 obi strip and printed poly-lined printed innersleeve. Pressed at Pallas in Germany, with lacquers cut by Daniel K at SST. Jeff Parkers 2016 album The New Breed was a turning point for both Parker and for International Anthem, changing the trajectory of his solo career as well as drawing an abundance of attention to our fresh imprint despite our then very limited catalog. Most importantly though, the album is the first to give voice to Parkers wholly unique take on sample-based beat construction augmented by a crack squad of improv-savvy LA breezersthe high-level crew of Paul Bryan (bass), Josh Johnson (alto sax), and Jamire Williams (drums), augmented by Jay Bellerose (drums) and Ruby Parker (vocals). What began as Jeffs interest in understanding his own idea of hip-hop processes (and how they related to his work in jazz) expanded into a blueprint for much of his work since then. (see also: The New Breeds rock-solid followup Suite For Max Brown, the gentle deconstructionist solo guitar of Forfolks, and the long-form slow bloom dub improvisation of The Way Out of Easyall released via International Anthem). The IA11 Edition LP features our IARC 2025 obi strip, plus a new 16-page 11×11\” insert booklet with unpublished session photos, new liner notes by New Breed bassist / co-producer Paul Bryan, and an in-depth conversation between JP and IARC co-founder Scott McNiece. …equally rooted in jazz and funk, and built upon beat-making experiments– Jason P Woodbury, Aquarium Drunkard Tracklist: A1.
