DJ Muggs - Notes And Tones: 2nd Vintage LP
Notes & Tones is a collaborative effort in wine and music by DJ Muggs, Now-Again’s Egon and Broc Cellars’ Chris Brockway. Their inspiration: Art Taylor / Sun Ra / Stanko Radikon / Xavier Caillard. Notes & Tones, the Second Vintage follows Muggs and Egon’s Holy Ghost wine and record pairing, and the first vintage of Notes & Tones. As with their first collaboration – based on samples from the Sun Ra catalog – this collaboration pays homage to jazz’s deep lineage with samples sourced from Gene Perla’s PM Records catalog.
Notes & Tones – the wine: 2022 vintage. Produced by Chris Brockway of Broc Cellars in Berkeley from grapes picked in Broc’s organically farmed Fox Hill Vineyard in Mendocino. The wine is a blend of three grape varieties: 50% Ribolla Galla, 45% Tocai Friulano and 5% Trebbiano. All grapes naturally fermented on its native yeasts and skins in sandstone jarres, then gently pressed to age back into jarres for twelve months. After that year in jarres it was racked to neutral oak barrique where it lived for six months to develop further. The wine was hand bottled by Muggs, Egon and Chris at the start of 2024 and aged for another year in bottle. 540 bottles made.
Notes & Tones – Second Vintage – the album:
The second vintage of Notes & Tones continues where the first album – all based on Sun Ra samples – left off: Muggs’ deep dive into Gene Perla’s PM Records catalog of jazz’s wide reach, produced in collaboration with Now-Again’s Egon, who manages Perla’s catalog and readied this album for release.
