Coffee at Changos (MP3)
Track Previews
- 10. Coffee at Changos
James Hardway works most often with cool textures cutting his own path
on a genre-defying jazz funk excursion that echoes the punk-soul of
James Blood Ulmer, evokes the spirit of Fela Kuti's epic jams and is
infused with a Cali bounce.
Hardway has worked with an impressive cast of British producers, from Genesis P-Orridge to Adrian Sherwood and Jah Wobble to Andrew Weatherall. During the early '80s, Hardway lived in Germany and acted in films before getting into the Berlin music scene. He recorded an album in 1983 (as David Harrow), and was the main force behind European electro-pop star Anne Clark . Hardway also appeared with Jah Wobble on the continent, but relocated to London by 1986, where he was swept up by the acid-house phenomenon.
