EP TWO

The second digital and vinyl EP from Brian Jackson and Masters At Work's highly anticipated
'Now More Than Ever' project is a masterclass in soulful innovation, musical legacy, and
collaborative excellence. Carefully curated and expertly packaged for true fans, this release
brings together extended versions and rare cuts that were simply too expansive, deep, and
powerful to fit on the forthcoming triple LP - but far too important not to be heard.
The double pack also includes the title track off the forthcoming album 'Now More Than
Ever', a brand-new, never-before-heard track birthed organically during the energy and
creative momentum of the recording sessions. It stands as a testament to the spontaneous
brilliance of Jackson, MAW and their collaborators, capturing a moment of pure musical
inspiration.
The EP features seven tracks, including reimagined and extended versions of classics such
as Kenlou Cult Classic 'Moonshine', Jackson and Heron's 'Lady Day and John Coltrane', and
'Home Is Where the Hatred Is', plus a deep focus on 'Racetrack in France' - first recorded
by Brian Jackson and Gil Scott-Heron in 1977 for their landmark Bridges album.
Highlights include:
The MAW (Masters
at Work) Live Mix of 'Moonshine', featuring former Midnight Band/Amnesia Express multiinstrumentalist
Carl Cornwell on saxophone.
A sprawling 12" version of 'Home Is Where the Hatred Is' - a jazz-fuelled dancefloor
reinterpretation blending political fire with sonic elegance.
The 12" version of 'Lady Day and John Coltrane', featuring Rahsaan Patterson's soulful vocal
performance set against a lush, cinematic arrangement.
A masterful reworking of 'Racetrack in France' featuring legends Josh Milan, J. Ivy, and
Moodymann, each bringing their distinct voice and flavour to this seminal piece. The
instrumental version is also included in this 2 x 12" EP.
Whether you're a long-time devotee of Brian Jackson and Gil Scott-Heron's influential
catalogue, a DJ or collector chasing rare wax, or a new listener drawn to future-leaning soul
and jazz, Now More Than Ever 'EP Two' is an essential release - a bridge between the past,
present, and the music still to come.
