With the release of 80's JOINT, trumpeter Satish Robertson unveils a new layer of his artistry. Drawing upon such diverse influences as Prince, Thomas Dolby, Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Herbie Hancock, Cameo, Woody Shaw, and late period Miles Davis, Satish creates a captivating blend of intense jazz improvisation and synth heavy 1980's inspired electro grooves.

These soundscapes were all created by Satish, who meticulously composed, arranged, and produced the record himself and played nearly all the parts.

80’s JOINT is a must hear for jazz fusion fans and 80's music enthusiasts alike.

about

The music which comprises this album is a unique amalgamation of jazz improvisation and 1980’s inspired synth pop, funk, rock, r&b, and new wave elements.

As a small child during the 1980’s my young ears were drawn to all sorts of music. My grandma played everything from jazz to Motown, disco, classical, and then some on her turntable, and the radio stations played the then current hits by Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Eurythmics, New Edition, Salt N Pepa, etc. I loved it all.

Miles Davis and John Coltrane would inspire me to pursue my path as a jazz musician, but I remain a fan of music all across the board. And like Miles in particular, I find delight in exploring stylistic mashups.
With the sounds of the 80’s revived in much of today’s pop music, and in the genre known as synthwave, I became inspired to do a record where I blend those 80’s elements with my personal approach to improvisational music.

As a nod to early Prince, I decided to compose, produce and perform all the music mostly by myself, playing all the parts on each tune (with the exception of trombone on three cuts). This was my first time working this way, and I can say it was a challenging, enlightening and gratifying experience.

This music is contemporary and throwback at the same time - may it captivate your ears, titillate your brain, uplift your spirit, and keep your body moving throughout.

-Satish
