Unidentified Flying Studios shot singer/ songwriter Jason Blum's new video for the song, "Blissful Life" from the album
Deliver. (http://www.myspace.com/jasonblum). The new video will have a dream-like quality that will be accomplished with a unique rendering process done by Director John Gibson.
David Byrne and Norah Jones, fellow friends and artists of Jason Blum are already huge fans of
Deliver. It is simply a sublime record with honest production, lyrically and musically compelling.
Jason Blum's music is steeped in a rich tradition of roots songwriters (Willlie Nelson, Townes VanZandt, Alejandro Escovedo, John Dee Graham, and Dale Watson to name a few), Jason rubbed elbows with some of the greats and shared the stage with many. He is living in New York City where almost immediately upon his arrival he was welcomed into the songwriter scene. Lee Alexander who has played consistently in the band with the lovely Norah Jones, approached Blum about backing him up with Andrew Borger, (both played in Norah's and they happened to be on a hiatus). They called the band "The Take-out Kings." The band played for over a year in NYC and did a small tour hitting Blum's adopted hometown of Austin and San Fran before making a record with Tom Schick (Ryan Adams, Rufus Wainright, and Norah Jones) at Lee and Norah's home studio... and this is how the record
Deliver was born.
When Norah's band went back out on the road, Jason continued to write songs, performing and recording with bassist, Paul Frazier (David Byrne); drummer, Steve Williams (David Byrne, Sade, Keith Richards); pedal steel and guitarist, Sam Cohen (Apollo Sunshine) and keyboardist / producer, Joel Hamburger. The final scenes for the video will be shot this weekend in Austin, TX.
"Blissful" life will be available for audiences to view soon...
