Roland P. Young - Hearsay I-Land (2013) [Hi-Res]

The long-awaited re-release of Hearsay I-Land, esteemed jazz musician Roland P. Young’s mid 80’s foray into pop structures, soul, and dance music. Hearsay I-Land comprises the entirety of his scarce 1984 four song 12”, I-LAND, as well as most of his 1987 LP, Hearsay Evidence, both released on his label, Flow-Chart Records.
Perhaps best known for his classic spiritual jazz recording, Isophonic Boogie Woogie, as well as his more recent output on EM records, Hearsay I-Land presents another parallel and deeply engaging side to Young’s story, one that would fit at home in any downtempo 80s New York set.
