So after many years of being under the study of Beat-Making John Robinson has finally decided to let the rest of the world hear what he creates outside of writing lyrics and working with various other producers around the world. “My beats are very personal to me, they are like therapy for whenever I am not writing. It is another outlet to express myself creatively.” says J.R. when asked why he hasn’t put his beats out there sooner.

Welcome to the first installment of Brilliant Soundscapes and enjoy and spread the vibes.

There’s a new voice on the saxophone, forged in the gritty steel town of Pittsburgh. Her name is Chelsea Baratz, and at 24, her soulful sound is a fiery combination of bebop swing and hip-hop hooks. Innovative and ear-bending with a sizzling originality to her horn, Baratz’s music is heartfelt, simple in its power to bridge quiet moments with bursts of fiery improvisation. When she picks up her saxophone, the soul of her own life comes alive.

In addition to working under her own name, Baratz maintains a busy schedule, performing and recording with The Maurice Brown Effect, Nicholas Payton, Orrin Evans, Chris Rob, the Revive Da Live Big Band, Mobetta & Soul’d U Out, Om’mas Keith, and Sean Jones & the Pittsburgh Jazz Orchestra. On Baratz’s debut album, In Faith (2009), her inventive sound and vibe carry forward the past echoes of Pittsburgh’s gospel, blues, and soul heritage into the present day. Displaying the young artist’s strong roots in the jazz tradition while incorporating influences from R&B, hip-hop, gospel, contemporary jazz, and blues, the album testifies to why Skope Magazine has twice named Baratz as an Artist 2 Watch.

J.R. & LP Team up with V2G to shoot the video for Harlem River Drive off their Collaborative album “International Summers” Available Now on itunes/CD/2LP.

Rumor has it that the two will eventually due a part deuce of the original album, only time will tell stay tuned.
