Itai Doshin Vinyl
Only 9 left in stock.
Mike Clark’s Itai Doshin finds the legendary drummer leaning deep into groove, stretching jazz-funk into something both spiritual and streetwise. Released in 2009, it is a masterclass in feel from a player who helped define the language of fusion.
Best known for his work with The Headhunters, Clark approaches this session with veteran confidence and playful curiosity. The title, translating loosely to “many bodies, one mind,” mirrors the ensemble chemistry - tight, intuitive, and locked in. Rather than chasing flash, Clark builds momentum from the kit outward, letting rhythm dictate mood and direction.
Tracks like Call Me and The Funk Stops Here crackle with syncopated swagger, all crisp snare accents and elastic bass lines. The title cut Itai Doshin leans more exploratory, weaving melodic improvisation through layered percussion, while When I Go cools the temperature with a smoky, late-night glide. Throughout, the interplay feels conversational - horns punch, keys shimmer, and Clark’s drums remain both anchor and spark.
Pressed on vinyl, Itai Doshin rewards attentive listening - every cymbal wash and ghost note rendered with warmth and depth. For collectors of forward-thinking jazz-funk and anyone fluent in groove, this record is a reminder that true rhythm never ages - it just gets wiser.
