FIRE WATER "Twilight" PRIVATE MODERN SOUL BOOGIE JAZZ FUNK REISSUE 7"
REISSUE / NEW
Among the vast underworld of 1970s jazz-funk rarities, one name quietly resonates with collectors and rare groove DJs: Fire Water. With just one known, self-titled 7"—independently released in the early 1980s, the group remains shrouded in mystery. It’s the kind of hidden gem you might stumble upon in a dusty record shop or hear deep in a seasoned selector’s set.
Musically, Fire Water "Twilight" sits at the crossroads of spiritual jazz, soul jazz, and atmospheric funk, with meditative grooves and arrangements reminiscent of Weldon Irvine, Roy Ayers, or Doug Carn. The instrumentation leans heavily on Fender Rhodes, warm and hypnotic basslines, subtle horn sections, and Afro-Latin percussion. The result is a sound both introspective and cosmic, yet urban in pulse—equally suited for solitary reflection or a sophisticated dance floor.
Little is known about the musicians or the backstory behind the 45s. Likely pressed in limited quantities and distributed locally, the original 7" has become a cult item over the decades, circulating among aficionados of obscure American independent music.
For those in search of authentic, deep sounds beyond the commercial radar, Fire Water offers a sonic journey worth chasing—an aural relic that captures the free, inventive spirit of an era when jazz merged with soul, funk, and sonic mysticism.
