TVR Affiliated Artists Rock Hypnotic Holiday Funk!

Oakland, CaliforniaTrue Vibe Records presents “Christmas Cheer Is Here Again,” an infectious blend of R&B, Jazz/Funk, and Latin infused with Blues instrumentation, hip-hop beats, and inspired vocals ranging from Singing to full Rap. The vibe is hypnotic, and the super danceable nature of the piece never lets up in the best possible way.  Musically speaking, there were some nice surprises on the first listen. One of them is a rather tasty key change that occurs just before a wailing tenor saxophone solo. Surprise number two occurs as listeners are hit with a classic old-school hip-hop-flavored verse.

True Vibe Records Affiliated Artists give you our heartfelt appreciation for all your support, and we love you!  We want to continue to entertain, enlighten, and inspire you.  Groove into the holiday spirit with True Vibe Records Affiliated Artists’ latest release – “Christmas Cheer Is Here Again”! This hypnotic holiday funk track will get you moving. It’s the perfect way to spread cheer and positivity during the holiday season.

Our inspiration for this song stems from an imaginary young guy who goes back to his hometown every year to enjoy the holiday festivities.  As you listen and watch the video, you can relive the holiday magic!

Sleigh bells ring, organs wail and saxophones moan on this track that features an eclectic arrangement steeped in both hypnotic psych-funk and cool Latin jazz, the latter being highlighted by a brief but exciting Afro-Cuban bridge section that will knock your stockings right off the mantle. Various vocalists deliver a bevy of Christmas-themed hooks and phrases, each promising to imbue a bit of holiday magic into the hearts and souls of listeners. True Vibe Records Affiliated Artists’ “Christmas Cheer Is Here Again” is the absolute perfect track for any holiday festivities, guaranteed to get your gathering on the good foot.

ABOUT

Internet record label True Vibe Records, based in Oakland, California, was founded by owner Bill Jackson aka “BJ”, who has had a burning passion to offer a new genre of music to the listening public.  This music, called Socially-Conscious Multi-Genre (SCMG) music aka Jazz Funk Hip HoPoetry, consists of singing, conscious-raising spoken word, and hip hop lyrics over upbeat R&B, jazz funk, Latin, as well as hip hop beats.  According to Jackson, this music is a potpourri of musical genres that entertains, enlightens, and inspires people.

The collective, True Vibe Records Affiliated Artists, is an outgrowth of his background as a musician, and educator for more than 20 years as well as other life experiences.  Jackson’s first musical training started at the early age of 7 when he took piano lessons, after which he played trumpet in public school concerts and jazz bands.  He later learned how to play bass guitar and played with a number of R&B and funk bands during his teen and early adult years in the San Francisco Bay Area.

His experience playing bass guitar  in church and coordinating programs for assemblies as a public school teacher led to a profound interest in bringing this new music to a larger audience of people.  Jackson had long been yearning to create this hybrid of music to uplift people–especially in the African-American community and to help raise the level of consciousness among all people to affect positive social change.

Along with the variety of his life experiences, he also credits his educational background for shaping his approach to music.   Bill Jackson holds a B.A. Degree in Journalism and Sociology from California State University, Los Angeles, an M.A. Degree in Education from the University of San Francisco, and a California teaching credential in English and Social Science.  Upon graduating from college at CSU-LA, he worked at a staff writer for weekly newspapers in Compton and South-Central Los Angeles over a two-year period.
