Gary Bartz
OYO Recordings, New York, USA
Gary Bartz is the original Celestial Bluesman, shaping jazz through the ‘60s and playing with everyone from Miles Davis to Charles Mingus. But his career as a sideman was never going to last long, as he started to translate his unique musical perspectives into full blown statements of astral consciousness that led to timeless collaborations with Andy Bey and the Mizell Brothers as well as the NTU Group, with Gary as a band leader in his own right with. His compositions like I’ve Known Rivers and Juju Man reached out to all lovers of fine funk, even though Gary could stride traditional and more forward-looking sounds at the same time. Gary’s mix of African rhythms, soulful funk, and spiritual jazz became the perfect soundscape for pioneering of artists such as A Tribe Called Quest and 3rd Bass, while tracks like Music Is My Sanctuary and Carnival d’Esprit have become anthems to legions of dancers, DJs and producers.
