about

Life is Worth Living is my second full LP- it comes 9 years after my debut LP "Más Dinero Más Problemas", but sound wise it's still walking on the borderline between house, jazz and soul.

I recorded the tracks in the period of last two years, using a combination of Rhodes and Moog improvisations on top of house and jazz-funk drum-lines.

This time with live sax additions on "Come Closer" and "Mercy Mercy" by phenomenal Artem Zhulyev. I first wrote the improv lines for a Moog for those two songs, but then thought the real sax would sound better, and Artem Zhulyev not only done them like I had in mind, but added a lot of his flavor.

Album is an up-tempo affair, but as usual with Jackie Brown releases, not your straightforward 4x4 routine - poly-rhythms and percussion drive "Wasting Your Life" and "Soul", while "The Approach of Midnight" sounds like it could have been placed straight into a Tenet soundtrack LP.

Artwork for the album is actually a painting named "Southern Cross" from great artist Adam Scott Rote, for which I have full permission to use. Interesting enough, I've met Mr. Rote as he messaged me that the actual painting was done while he was on repeat listening to my "Infatuacion/Repulsion" dubplates. It's been a huge honor for me to have his beautiful artwork as a cover of my record.

The lettering and adjustments of artwork, as well as label desing has been done by my artwork artist Lika Kvirikashvili.

Title of the record is a tribute to Venerable Fulton J.Sheen and his television series of the same name, that were aired in the 50s.

This is also the first of my records that will be available as a NFT - rarible.com/jckbrwn
