Freddie Joachim. Always high quality sounds and his music carries such an elegant vibe. I suppose what I mean by that is his beats always seem to be more sophisticated than the usual instrumentals I enjoy. This particular track, off of his instrumental album "Midway" is a prime example of that.
The beat itself is simple. Nice jazzy piano and a sharp beat. With some chords and other elements in there. The beat takes me to a lot of places however. Like you are driving fast during a rainy day. The skies are dark, the rain pitter patters on every surface. Something about this beat takes me to places like that, rainy windows, ocean views, anything in black and white. I love that about Joachim's beats. Everything is relaxed in one way or another. The breaks add for an exciting blip of a pause.
The album cover is also my favorite album cover ever; of course I could say that about alot of covers, but this one is definitely up there. The beats coincide with every bit of the picture. The idea of sailing itself is a luxury, and the perfect way to escape. And what looks like dawn or dusk is a perfect time to be enjoying the ocean. The sky is beautiful and at times you might feel like the only one out there. Ha I am rambling, but for real, the cover soothes me. If I were to place a track closest with the album cover it would most certainly be "Autumn Rain".
Check out his album Midway though! Plenty of more classy boom bap tracks such as this. And a huge collection I might add. Joachim is brilliant, so go celebrate his works!
