Killer Laidback Jazz Funk - Officially reissued for the first time from Mastertapes
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.
