Mackrosoft - S.E.M.E. (Self Evolving Mechanized Elves)
CD MS0016

Namesake of Steely Dan’s classic 1977 LP, funk conductor and mystical maestro Aja West has conjured a trilogy of jazz-funk albums as tight, complex, and forward thinking as any Becker-Fagen concoction.
As always, Aja surrounds himself with a team of crack musicians—such as Money Mark, as well as a host of Pacific Northwest jazz cats—while he leads the way on the Rhodes electric piano, Hohner Clavinet, the ARP String Ensemble, and multiple Moogs. It’s an analog lifestyle.
Taking cues from his Steely idols, as well as another demigod, jazz producer Creed Taylor, Aja West has carefully crafted a string of meticulously executed studio albums, perfectly balanced with the spontaneous and improvised primal nature of jazz-fusion monuments like Miles Davis’s Star People. Aja breathes the same air as these geniuses of the past but is wildly time traveling in his mind. Future music now.
