{"product_id":"yussef-kamaal-black-focus","title":"YUSSEF KAMAAL - BLACK FOCUS","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrownswood Recordings has high hopes for this debut album from the previously unheralded Yussef Kamaal, which brings together hyped producer Kamaal Williams (AKA Henry Wu) and fast-rising Afrobeat drummer Yussef Dayes. With such talent to draw on, you'd expect Black Focus to be rather good. Happily, it is, with the duo delivering a typically London-centric take on jazz funk. That means that they take as much inspiration from the work of Kaidi Tatham as, say, Herbie Hancock. The key to the album's success - and, yes, it is generally as special as Gilles Peterson suggests - is the fluid combination of Dayes' brilliant drumming and Williams' superb synth solos and effortlessly groovy Rhodes playing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Republic of Music","offers":[{"title":"LP Record","offer_id":57632414040439,"sku":"RCZ-04068","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/3435\/3129\/files\/CS627831-01A-MED.jpg?v=1792666762","url":"https:\/\/recordcorner.co.uk\/products\/yussef-kamaal-black-focus","provider":"Record Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
