VIEW the short film “Native Sun” directed by Blitz the Ambassador and Terrence Nance with photography by Shawn Peters.
LISTEN to Gizmo’s new Red Balloon  album. Gizmo is widely recognized as a bassist and music director, but he has spent the last year working on his new album “Red Balloon,” which drops October 2nd. On the album he collaborates with many world-renowned musicians including Derrick Hodge, Casey Benjamin, Jamire Williams, George W. Russell, Jr, Ilan Bar-Lavi, and co-producer Gabo Lugo to create a compelling record that expresses a personal side of Gizmo. The 14 track debut record is currently in the mixing stage and is being shopped by various labels, and it will be released in the next few months.  We’ll also listen to Blitz the Ambassador’s 2011 release Native Sun.
