LANGUAGE IRC 023

Joe Claussell delivers a critically acclaimed compilation that looks beyond national boundaries and draws from a global music community. Claussell and production partners Jerome Sydenham and Kerri Chandler, imbue their 4/4 electronic house beat with the melodic work of top world music and jazz musicians. Brazilian vocalist extraordinaire, Vera Mara, adds delicate phrasing to "Je Ka Jo"; Flutist, Jay Collins, delivers a poignant message with his bamboo flute on "Git Wa"; Nigerian producer Dele Sosimi and his Gbedu 1 band adds an Afrobeat slant to the record with "Gbedu Resurrection"; Jazz pianist Marc Cary pens and produces "Marco Polo" (with a special Joe Claussell edit). "Language" elegantly represents the pinnacle in a growing acoustic dance music that moves from the club floor into the home.
