After Phil Cohran passed away in early 2017, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble released their album 'Book Of Sound' as a heartfelt tribute to their father. Raised in Chicago's South Side with music at the core of their lives, the brothers crafted this percussion - less album. It's a deep, warm, and calming work that oozes spirituality. Rooted in Afrocentric philosophies that Phil Cohran embraced throughout his life, this album is a rich, pure, and focused project. 'Morning Prayer' was the brothers' real - life morning prayer as kids. 'Now' is a Phil Cohran - style song recreated by the Ensemble, and 'Midnight' is inspired by the late artist's battle against heroin addiction through music therapy in the 60s. 'Sri Neroti' comes from the concept of mind over matter, and 'Royalty' acknowledges the origin of Gabriel Hubert's name. This striking album from Honest Jon's Records in 2017 is highly recommended.
To enjoy this Vinyl 2LP album, simply place it on your record player, gently drop the needle, and let the music flow. Make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, return the album to its sleeve to protect it from dust. Store the album in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping. This album is a unique musical experience, so sit back, relax, and let the sounds of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble transport you.
