about
It’s a rare talent that can link Radiohead’s Johnny Greenwood, Ethio-jazz pioneer Mulatu Astatke, Afrofuturists Sun Ra Arkestra and grime legend Dizzee Rascal, but Ben Marc has long blurred musical worlds and criss-crossed boundaries throughout his career.
But as a producer and multi-instrumentalist at the leading edge of the UK jazz scene, Ben Marc is now stepping into the spotlight and wanting to step out with his debut solo album. Give Me Time features beautiful string arrangements and vocals from Judi Jackson.
lyrics
All my anger, my confusion, got me feeling like a child
My mind in state of delusion, oh don’t leave me out here to die,
Give me faith, give me space, give me, give me time
Im ok, its that way, I’ll be just fine,
Fine, fine, I’’ll be fine
We just need a little more space in time,
Healing aint over night, healing aint over night
We just need a little more space in time
Healing aint over night, healing aint over night
All my anger, my confusion, had me in a state of illusion,
Feeling like a lost child, running out being wild, don’t you hurt me again,
Not this time, don’t you hurt me again,
Give me faith, give me space, give me time,
Give me faith, give me space, give me time,
Don’t you hurt me not again, not this time,
Don’t you hurt me, not again, not this time, time
We just need a little more space and time, healing aint over night, healing aint
over night,
We just need a little more space and time, healing aint over night,
It aint over, it aint over, it aint over,
It aint over, it aint over, it aint over
Oh Little more space, oh little more time
Ben Marc realised music was going to be his life. He studied classical double bass at Trinity College
London.
He duly went on to work with artists, including Macy Grey, Amy Winehouse, Dizzee Rascal, the Charles Mingus Big Band, Jimmy Cliff and created a film score with Radiohead.
He embarked on his own solo project. It is clear that he is merely scratching the surface of his ambitions just now....more
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
