Phree-dem Downloads, Melvin Gibbs' free music series continues into its third week with the composition “Ra's Mirror." This track features multi-instrumentalist Casey Benjamin (Kanye West, Mos Def, Stefon Harris) on three different instruments: flute, keyboards and EWI (electronic wind instrument).
Bassist/producer Gibbs showcases Mr Benjamin on a track created for his “Melvin Runs The Hoodoo Down" project. This project, which takes the music of the Miles Davis' album Bitches Brew as it's starting point, is based on a production technique Melvin calls “infrapolation." “Ra's Mirror" also includes the playing of Miles Davis alumni Pete Cosey on guitar and the drummer J.T. Lewis.
