{"product_id":"january-12th","title":"January 12th","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn January 12th, 2020, a Sunday night in Toronto, \u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Tavares\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eLeland Whitty\u003c\/strong\u003e (of BADBADNOTGOOD fame) are reunited at Burdock for a live improvised Jazz session. The pair are joined on stage by bassist Julian Anderson-Bowes and drummer Matt Chalmers as part of Burdock's Piano Fest, an annual event at the city's brewery and music hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo days later an email from Matthew hits Mr Bongo's inbox... \"\u003cem\u003eI think it turned out amazing, brought some really nice recording gear and it sounds almost like a studio record, thought I'd share. Moments definitely get to the jazzier side but there is some spiritual moments that are so far out\u003c\/em\u003e\". The chemistry between the musicians is magical. The tight friendship and musical connection between Tavares and Whitty is self-evident, however, Chalmers and Anderson-Bowes have a great contribution to make too. They act as the solid foundation that leaves Tavares and Whitty free to roam and explore moments of darkness and light, intensity and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the first time of hearing this intimate session, we knew this had to be shared. The same quartet feature on \u003cem\u003eMatthew Tavares \u0026amp; Leland Whitty\u003c\/em\u003e's 2020 album \u003cem\u003eVisions\u003c\/em\u003e. The plan to promote \u003cem\u003eVisions\u003c\/em\u003e was to tour, with each night comprising a uniquely improvised set. Sadly due to world events, this couldn't happen, but for now January 12th is a snapshot of the wizardry that would have been from four amazing musicians at the top of their game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50475083235659,"sku":"1108270","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50475083891019,"sku":"1108271","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/82dd35b7-7c39-403e-8183-bb10f7c5fa5d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727442381","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/january-12th","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
