Condolences to the family and friends of The Deer aka J-1/Jovan Coleman, who sadly passed away in Sweden.

J-1 was family to HVW8 and recorded podcasts including the Super Sessions 2 which would turn into Master Blazter.

He will be remembered for his love of music, the music he left and being a good friend.

MASTER BLAZTER

Computer Jay, J-1 and D-F stepped the game up with a “more funk than jazz” Super Session recorded live at the HVW8 Art + Design Gallery. This grew into the group Master Blazter. Master Blazter demonstrates how the LA modern funk and boogie scene is starting to bubble and come together. This was the first time that these guys played as a group and it was a completely improvised session in front of a intimate crowd at the HVW8 Gallery. More to come.
