ALLEGRO TITLES! Zanzibara Series Zanzibara 5: Hot In Dar (BUD 860184) “Afro Jam of the Week! Buda Musique continues its wonderful Zanzibara series, following in the footsteps of its long-running and successful Ethiopiques releases, and focusing on important scenes or artists from specific times in Zanzibaran music history. Volume five focuses on 1970s dance bands of Tanzania, and quite simply, it’s gorgeous … This record is all killer, no filler, and in my opinion is the best in the series thus far. The booklet is packed with info about all of the artists involved, and best of all, includes lyric translations from the native Swahili into both French and English. I can’t think of a better title than the one given to this set already: Hot in Dar! So, so good.” — Other Music Pink Martini Splendor in the Grass (HNZ 6) Recently featured on NPR’s Morning Edition and received HHHH from The Times UK: “Mamboing transvestite district attorneys, a 90-year-old Mexican ranchera singer, a Tchaikovsky piano concerto, Italian pop kitsch, missing heads, Peter Sellers’ sitar, Sesame Street singalongs and a Neapolitan lullaby—it could only be the fourth album from Thomas Lauderdale’s little jazz-lounge orchestra. And yet these are just the most obvious aspects to a triumphant album that is, in the boss’s words, ‘all over the place’ both musically and geographically.”

“Driving with plenty of contemporary excitement all around her, Dutch saxophonist Tineke Postma provides the kind of tension and release that makes modern jazz swing.” — All About Jazz “One of the world’s leading female saxophonists and this, her third album, is her best yet. Playing alto and soprano saxes (plus tenor on one track), her lines are hip and agile, yet distinctly feminine in their grace and sensitivity … a production of unusual depth and taste.”

— The Evening Standard, CD of the Week “A message can be inferred from the title of Tineke Postma’s A Journey That Matters. From British swing to Finnish funk, the jazz train leads back to the artist, regardless of where his or her travels began. Backed by arrangements that unfold with grace and taste over Terri Lyne Carrington’s sizzling drums, Postma demonstrates an unusual ability to infuse melodic statements with expressive nuance.”

BYE-YA! Further Arrivals

This is how jazz can sound in the 21st century! The surprising stylistic mix of pop, avant-garde jazz, and dance music results in a “total art work.” Features the charismatic, expressive voice of Estonian singer Ingrid Lukas.

Even with a new line-up (Brian Lynch on trumpet and Enrique Firpi on drums), Further Arrivals is an example of the unique BYE-YA! sound. BYE-YA! is Latin jazz at its best—more than a mix of the two styles, it is interaction and reaction between Latin music and jazz.

Charlie Mariano Deep in a Dream

Marty Erlich The Long View

The album Deep in a Dream has a decidedly dreamy and romantic mood to it that brings Charlie Mariano’s trademark tone to the fore.

His alto sax sounds plaintive at times, yet has that edge that helps distinguish him from other virtuoso alto modernists like Charlie Parker, Lee Konitz, or Cannonball Adderley. Formerly under license to Justin Time, now exclusively available from ENJA.

Multi-reed-player Marty Ehrlich has been associated with ENJA Records for over 15 years, reaching back to the highly acclaimed, now-classic album Pliant Plaint (1987). One of the prime figures on the New York scene beyond the mainstream, Ehrlich is considered one of America’s “most thoughtful improvisers” (DownBeat).

John Scofield Shinola

Ray Anderson Old Bottles–New Wine

The finest of the early Scofield albums! “Shortly before joining Miles Davis’ group, guitarist John Scofield recorded this passionate trio set with electric bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Adam Nussbaum.

Much of Scofield’s playing here is quite rock-ish although he does show off his jazz chops … the frequently intense music … has plenty of fiery moments” (All Music Guide).

Winner of the German Jazz Critics Award! “Trombonist Ray Anderson, best-known for his avant-garde recordings, surprised many with these explorations of standards. His high-note outbursts are often hilarious, yet on this program he really digs into the material … The all-star rhythm section (pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Dannie Richmond) is also a strong asset to this memorable date” (All Music Guide).

• Though preceded by four trio releases, the years 2007–2008 marked Eri Yamamoto’s rise into the consciousness of astute music listeners outside of NYC. Her essential appearance on William Parker’s eternal Corn Meal Dance was followed by a pair of her own luminous and widely acclaimed albums, Duologue and Redwoods (all on AUM Fidelity).

• This new studio album of compositions/songs are, as part of her recent three-album string, nigh unmatched by her pianistic (or otherwise) peers in music. A handful of these songs could be new jazz standards, or covered by the more gifted in the rock realm, and all are brought to life with ebullience and deep sensitivity by her long-running trio partners, bassist David Ambrosio and drummer Ikuo Takeuchi.

• Half of these songs were composed as a new “internal” soundtrack suite to the 1932 B&W silent film I Was Born, But... by Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu, one of the most important filmmakers in cinema history. While Ozu’s film is serious and sometimes heartbreaking, it also has lightness and humor; Yamamoto’s compositions accentuate this emotional complexity. The other half of the songs, equally compelling and far-ranging in mood, were composed through capturing Yamamoto’s experiences living in NYC and her touring around the world.

These duets glow.” — PopMatters “Great new jazz record alert! … It feels wide and expansive, calming and tranquil. A wonderful listen from start to finish.” — Other Music “She has developed a style that is laced with subtle colors that can rise as she blends notes in unexpected ways. The style rewards close attention. And as a seasoned bar player, Ms. Yamamoto knows how to plant flowers in the dustbin.” — New York Sun Key Markets: New York (hometown), San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Hartford, New Haven

The seventh, and best, release to date from the man Rolling Stone called “one of England’s best kept musical secrets.”

Peter Bruntnell Peter and the Murder of Crows Rock New Folk Records Cat # NFR 3582 Price Code: P (SRP $15.99) Jewel Case; Box Lot 30 U.S. ORDERS ONLY

• Chosen as Q Magazine’s Roots Album of the Year, MOJO’s Americana Album of the Month, and heavily featured in end of year “best of” lists from Uncut and MOJO. • Touring the US through November with Son Volt; just finished touring with Richmond Fontaine in Europe.

• Recorded in his home studio in Devon and co-written by long-term long-distance writing partner Bill Ritchie, this album finds the artist in a reflective yet settled frame of mind and has all the qualities of a classic Bruntnell album—acoustic folk-based pop with just a hint of psychedelia, all delivered in a very British fashion.

• Rolling Stone called Peter Bruntnell “one of England’s best kept musical secrets,” and these words seem to sum up the Devon-based artist’s career so far. A handful of albums for Almo and Ryko in the ’90s coincided with the emergence of Britpop, and despite the best efforts of a very supportive music press, the records’ mellifluous and introspective nature didn’t fully satisfy a “mad for it” general public.

• But, for those who did take the time to check out this softly-spoken songwriter, the rewards have been plentiful. His subsequent albums (Ends of the Earth, Played Out and 2005’s Ghost In A Spitfire) featured startling tales of small town romance and big city isolation that ticked all the right sonic boxes for a fiercely loyal fan base that has ensured Bruntnell’s healthy career in this most fickle of industries.

• Radio and media mailing. Email marketing blitz.

“In a more accommodating world, Peter Bruntnell would be a big deal. By the third play of his ace seventh album, you’re left marveling at the subtle shifts in dynamics: terrific arrangements, meticulous strings, and killer desert guitar.” — Uncut HHHH “Treading ground more akin to Elliott Smith than before, Bruntnell’s latest release is as trustworthy as any other he’s put his name to.”

• Music and dancing play an important part in the culture and traditions of the West Indies. This recording illustrates the Creole spirit through gwo ka, chouval bwa, biguine, quadrille, mazurka, and merengue.

• The music of the Caribbean is largely a result of the mixture of African and European cultures that was brought about by colonization and the slave trade, with sounds, rhythms, and instruments of African origin and melodies that were taken to the islands from Europe. Since those times, Creole music has constantly grown richer.

• The city of St. Pierre on the island of Martinique became the cultural cradle of the Lesser Antilles in the 18th century. Bands with a more European style of instrumentation (piano, banjo, accordion, clarinet) were formed. The beguine was to reach the height of its popularity in Paris during the first half of the 20th century.

New Releases • Romica will probably always remain the greatest Romanian Gypsy singer of the 20th century. Her sensual voice, whose lightness knew no obstacle, ran as clear as a mountain brook. Her glissandi between notes and quarter-tone passages of surprising precision bear witness to her exceptional musical gift (she never learnt to play music). The passion she put into interpreting lyrics established her as THE diva of Gypsy music!

• Romica sings about love, laments on lovers who prefer death to separation, relates the sad fate of orphans and the powerful love of parents, and suffers with the bride abandoned the day before her wedding. Her songs recount every day and every people’s lives. In rural Romania, village weddings give rise to celebrations that last for several days, and the greatest gypsy musicians are requested. It was on her way back from a concert performed at one such wedding in November 1996 that Romica met her death in a tragic car crash, just when she was starting preparations for a concert in Paris.
