“The Clinic,” the latest release by Ari Joshua and Music Factory Records, is a vibrant fusion of afro-space-boogaloo grooves, offering a fresh take on a well-loved track. Featuring Skerik on saxophone, Delvon Lamarr on Hammond organ, and Grant Schroff on drums, this trio brings an infectious energy that captivates from the first note. Joshua’s guitar work shines with expressive precision, weaving seamlessly with Skerik’s bold improvisations and Lamarr’s gritty organ lines, all grounded by Schroff’s dynamic drumming.
What sets “The Clinic” apart is its rich production, courtesy of engineers Mell Dettmer and Jason Gray. With layers of analog warmth, classic reverb tanks, and tape delays, the track carries a timeless quality that balances old-school authenticity with modern innovation. The chord progression, inspired by Hendrix’s sharp 9 sound and tritone substitutions, creates a harmonic tension that keeps the listener hooked.
As this track evolves through different lineups, its versatility appeals to diverse audiences. Whether live or recorded, “The Clinic” is a testament to the mastery of the musicians involved, blending bebop, boogaloo, and improvisational freedom.
