The Day I Had Everything MALIJA Mark Lockheart / Liam Noble / Jasper Høiby London based trio MALIJA brings together a collective empathy and co-leadership with all members sharing the production and writing roles - three interconnected and creative musical personalities that together offer countless rewards. Lockheart, Noble and Høiby (MArk, LIam and JAsper) need no introduction to Edition fans, having played together on Mark Lockheart’s quintet album ‘In Deep’ in 2009, but with their individual international profiles and explosive musical personalities integrated in a trio, there’s no hiding from the fact that this is the band to watch. The Day I Had Everything subtly echoes the musicians’ personal and individual stories with their experiences of London, a city that has had a huge influence on the band. The album reflects the constantly changing pace, shifting dynamics and multi-culturalism of the megalopolis.

Naçao Zumbi NAÇAO ZUMBI Nação Zumbi is a seminal rock band from Recife originally formed by Chico Science. They are known to be one of the originators of the manguebeat movement which blends rock, punk, funk, hip hop, soul and Brazilian traditional rhythms. The debut album by Chico Science & Nação Zumbi, Da Lama ao Caos, was a milestone for a group of friends, that by creating a scene, started a movement that ultimately destabilized the axis of musical production in Brazil. Their second album, Afrociberdelia, was launched in June 1996, but in less than a year, the band – and the world – would lose their front man Chico Science. Despite the huge blow, it wasn’t the end. Nação Zumbi reestablished itself and ever since has reinvented themselves year after year, and album after album. Having released six studio albums, Nação Zumbi brings manguebeat to life, and continues to be one of the most influential and respected Brazilian music bands today.

The mangue bit or manguebeat movement is a cultural movement created around 1991 in Recife as a reaction to the cultural and economical stagnation of the city. The movement largely focuses on music, mixing regional rhythms of Pernambuco, such as Maracatu, with rock, hip-hop, funk rock and electronic music. Manguebeat is considered the most relevant Brazilian cultural movement after Tropicalia, the artistic movement spearheaded by musicians such as Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso. Track listing: 1.

Three Times Three 2LP ANTONIO SANCHEZ 180g DOUBLE VINYL IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE - NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION OF 1,000 WITH THREE BONUS TRACKS Drummer Antonio Sanchez convened three separate trios of brilliant musicians for this recording. Three extremely different musical ideas, developed and entrusted to six sensitive, outstanding companions. The pieces featuring BRAD MEHLDAU and MATT BREWER are two original tunes by Sanchez plus a revived standard, Miles Davis' “Nardis”, renamed “Nar-this” here. Mehldau, obviously much in evidence, stands out against Sanchez and Brewer’s flowing rhythms while sailing through Miles Davis' tune as well as “Constellations” and “Big Dream”, both by Sanchez.

The same pattern applies to the other two groups: the trio with JOHN SCOFIELD and CHRISTIAN McBRIDE opens with a gorgeous remake of Wayne Shorter’s “Fall”. The ambiance is different, the mood is different: “Three Times Three” shows its second personality, portrayed by Sanchez through two original pieces, “Nooks And Crannies” and “Rooney And Vinsky”. The last of the three trios stars JOE LOVANO and JOHN PATITUCCI. Flowing out to us are “Leviathan” and “Firenze”, two original tunes, whereas the grand finale is entirely given up to the great Thelonious Monk’s “I Mean You”. For the bonus tracks on this special limited edition Sanchez delivers three brilliant and breathtaking previously unreleased drum solos, recorded in New York in December 2014 at Avatar Studios.
