Description:

The official apparel collection of STRATA-EAST, a label that embodied the independence and spirituality of black jazz musicians and whose philosophy and musicality had a profound influence on the independent jazz scene and hip-hop/club culture in later years, is now available! SHAMEK FARRAH “FIRST IMPRESSIONS” is the first album “First Impressions” by New York-based alto saxophonist Shamek Farrah. The unfamiliar wordy name, the enigmatic jacket, and the hypnotic sound. Since its reappraisal in the 1990s, it has remained special. The title track, “First Impressions,” is the ultimate, with a tight groove underneath and a deep soundscape of unsettling piano and drifting themes.
