Description
Currently residing in Washington DC, but with roots in Gary, Indiana (home to the Jackson family), Jonathan Meacham aka Diggs Duke is an insanely talented singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, newly signed to Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings imprint. Limited to 500 180-GRAM vinyl copies. Check!The 28 year-old self-released a string of EPs throughout 2012 via his Bandcamp - a stream of vivid sketches showcasing supreme musicianship and craft. Rooted in jazz, Meacham's arrangements are remarkably refreshing, eschewing traditional song structure for a looser groove-based aesthetic, punctuated with short bursts of his effortless Dwele-esque vocals.
Offering For Anxious serves as an introduction to the genius of Diggs Duke - a taste of what is to come from the prodigious talent. At just 25 minutes long, the record is over in the blink of an eye. Like a brief but captivating firework display, the ten tracks map out the highlights of those self-released EPs (Gravity, Black Gold, Mass Exodus Vol. 1 + 2) and tease ahead to the enormous potential within these sketches.
