Biography

When novices discover the experimental music of the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, they are surprised to learn that there is no one named Jacob Fred--the group's name is meant to be clever and ironic. Novices also learn that the Tulsa, OK outfit's mildly avant-garde blend of jazz, rock and funk draws on a wide variety of influences; JFJO has been influenced by everyone from electric Miles Davis and Jimi… Read more in Amazon's Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey Store

Review

The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey step through the looking glass to emerge from the shadows of their disparate rock and jazz influences with something wholly fresh. Producer Tae Meyulks transforms these sessions into a sonic wonderland. --The Absolute Sound


Product Description

Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey re-awakens with their most idiosyncratic album yet Lil Tae Rides Again. The fearless trio from Tulsa, Oklahoma appeared for only a handful of tour dates and summer festivals in 2007. Rumors swirled among fans regarding the reasons for such scarcity. JFJO s intent, however, was never in question. They simply went underground to create music on their own terms, in their own universe, on their own timetable. The trio enlisted eccentric electronic music futurist Tae Meyulks to produce. He shared in the trio s vision to record an album awash in sprawling soundscapes, minimalist melodies and subliminal themes. Lil Tae Rides Again achieves its intent, an Eno-esque masterwork that offers a sustaining aura of ethereal splendor. As on previous efforts, JFJO define themselves
as a mercurial musical force in a constant state of re-imagining their creative horizons. The
beauty in JFJO s self-definition is that they are utterly un-definable. Lil Tae Rides Again, but
better still, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey rides again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lil Tae Rides Again!, July 2, 2008
By Judge Knot "JK" (Bismarck, ND) - See all my reviews
Great Album that incorporates more electronic sound than their previous efforts. An evolution of sorts of JFJO Jazz. This is a great compliment to their live efforts and a wonderful step forward for the band. The drumming on this album is unbelievable at times and the electo-jazz feel is perfect for anybody into expanding their tastes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review from Melt Magazine - Columbus, OH, November 17, 2009
By Tyler Starkey (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After filling the atmosphere of my creaky apartment with the eerie minimalist melodies of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey's Lil' Tae Rides Again for a few days on end, I decided to bring it in to the office for a closer listen under the microscope of the sonic sciences... the headphones. The ambient soundscapes constructed by electronic music eccentric Tae Meyulks lend themselves exceedingly well to long zone out sessions (like when I'm putting together the Melt calendar each month for instance). The tracks on Lil' Tae Rides Again are incredibly difficult to put into words, but iTunes computes a pretty accurate summary of the sound with the single word "unclassifiable" under the genre tab when the album is imported. The creation of JFJO's most idiosyncratic album yet is accredited partially to to Meyulks' immense interest in the psychedelic effects of sleep deprivation, as he would stay up for days at a time operating music software in various altered-states, while deconstructing and reassembling what the band had recorded. The opening "reassemble" "Autumnal" juxtaposes an acoustic guitar with a distant cry from deep within the mix, as if an intentional attempt is made to strike at something deep within the listener's psyche. Reverb drenched beats emerge and layers of sound reveal a melody only to melt away as instantly as it's revealed. The album ends with "Goodnight Ollie", a seven minute-plus opus of shear psychedelic splendor that wouldn't sound at all out of play on Radiohead's Kid-A. Lil' Tae Rides Again is a poignant addition to the JFJO's catalogue of releases riding a respectable ripple on the ocean of progressive possibilities of jazz music. - Tyler Starkey

4.0 out of 5 stars Transitional LP Good but not great, September 16, 2008
By Earsby (Norman, OK United States) - See all my reviews
I was really excited when I purchased Lil Tae Rides again. I was still listening to Jacob Fred performing an incredible live show and purchased the vinyl version of this recording. I can't really give it more than 4 stars, though, and here's why:

Jacob Fred is an improvisational band that continually ups the ante every time they play live. They break rules and re-form them again. New Drummer Josh Raymer really gives the band a nice pulse while keeping them on somewhat of a free-jazz track. There are some new members playing along with the core trio live, and I still feel that the 3 piece band has everything it takes to put them (and their audience) into the stratosphere whenever they're playing live.

True to the title, though, this album is more of a Lil Tae production or "take" on Jacob Fred's music. As such I felt that the improvisational nature of the music could have perhaps been served better. I hear that JFO is working on a new recording at this time and I fully believe it will be even better than Lil Tae Rides Again, with the band members having a chance to evolve a bit further--just like a soup tastes better after the contents have settled a bit.

Still, this is an ambitious cd and I highly recommend it to any and all Jacob Fred fans, and anyone else who wants to hear an example of music that could very well be (as Cecil Taylor once said regarding Brian Haas' exploratory keyboard work) "the future of jazz."

I think the band will see this as a transitional phase (although arguably all their albums could be seen as such). I'm sure Brian Haas, Reed Mathis, and Josh Raymer will continue to develop and this is only the beginning of a creative period for Jacob Fred.
