This picture is from a studio session in 2011 with Reggie Washington, Jozef Dumoulin, Gene Lake & Jef Lee Johnson.
It was for Reggie's second album "Freedom".
Jammin'colorS label released its first CD in 2006 with New York bassist Reggie Washington who has played with some of the most influential artists on the music scene: Steve Coleman, Cassandra Wilson, Branford Marsalis, Meshell Ndegéocello, Roy Hargorve, Archie Shepp.
This first CD includes two live concerts from Reggie's first European tour with saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and drummer Gene Lake and from his other trio with Erwin Vann and Stéphane Galland.
Over the years, we've continued to create CDs with Reggie Washington but also with other musicians such as drummer E.J. Strickland, Cuban pianist Manuel Valera, flutist Hadar Noiberg, vocalist Paul Jost and drummer Gene Lake. We believe that all these artists have their own musical personality and deserve to be heard worldwide.
If you listen to the music of the Jammin'colorS label, you can hear many different influences: jazz, funk, hip-hop, fusion, world, folk, classical and much more.
