{"product_id":"075597893601","title":"Flea \"Honora\" 2xLP","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a nearly five-decade (and counting) career as one of his\u003cbr\u003egeneration’s defining rock bassists, Flea releases his first full-length\u003cbr\u003esolo album, Honora, March 27, 2026, on Nonesuch Records. Time and space have finally allowed him to return to his first musical loves:\u003cbr\u003ejazz and playing the trumpet. The song “Traffic Lights,” co-written with\u003cbr\u003eThom Yorke and Josh Johnson, accompanies the album\u003cbr\u003eannouncement.\u003cbr\u003eFor Honora, which takes its name from a beloved family member,\u003cbr\u003eFlea composed and arranged the music, and also plays trumpet and\u003cbr\u003ebass throughout, joined by an elite crew of modern jazz visionaries:\u003cbr\u003ealbum producer and saxophonist Josh Johnson, guitarist Jeff\u003cbr\u003eParker, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Deantoni Parks. The\u003cbr\u003erecord features vocals from Flea, as well as friends Thom Yorke and\u003cbr\u003eNick Cave. Mauro Refosco (David Byrne, Atoms for Peace) and\u003cbr\u003eNate Walcott (Bright Eyes), among others, also join the band. The\u003cbr\u003ealbum comprises six original songs–including one co-written by Flea,\u003cbr\u003eJohnson, and Yorke–as well as interpretations of tunes by George\u003cbr\u003eClinton and Eddie Hazel, Jimmy Webb, Frank Ocean and Shea\u003cbr\u003eTaylor, and Ann Ronell.\u003cbr\u003eThough Flea dreamed of being like his heroes Dizzy Gillespie, Miles\u003cbr\u003eDavis, and Clifford Brown, Flea’s path went a different direction: His\u003cbr\u003eclose friend Hillel Slovak asked him to pick up the bass and join his\u003cbr\u003erock band when he was sixteen, leading Flea into a decades-long\u003cbr\u003ecareer with the hugely successful Red Hot Chili Peppers.\u003cbr\u003eAs Flea neared his sixtieth birthday, he realized if he did not pick up\u003cbr\u003ethe trumpet again, he probably never would. So he resolved to\u003cbr\u003epractice every day for two years–in the midst of a stadium tour with\u003cbr\u003eRed Hot Chili Peppers, with a wife and newborn at home. At the end\u003cbr\u003eof those two years, he would make an album, regardless of where his\u003cbr\u003eknowledge or talents ended up.\u003cbr\u003eUntil Honora, Flea had never been scared of making music before.\u003cbr\u003eHe worried that the all-star band he had assembled would think he\u003cbr\u003ewas “a non-playing motherf*cker, charlatan, rock poseur or fan.” But,\u003cbr\u003ehe says, “It turns out they were all the most genuinely supportive\u003cbr\u003epeople, moving me deeply and daily with their generous\u003cbr\u003espirits…Sitting in a room and playing the music with them made me\u003cbr\u003efeel like I was on drugs. I was buzzing, tripping and floating around\u003cbr\u003ethe studio. I love them, they truly gave of themselves. I bow all the way down.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack List:\u003cbr\u003eGolden Wingship\u003cbr\u003eA Plea\u003cbr\u003eTraffic Lights feat.
