Au Pays D'Alice... IBRAHIM MAALOUF & OXMO PUCCINO Au Pays d'Alice... is a jazz musical inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Accompanying Ibrahim Maalouf on this adventure is the Malian-born rapper-poet-actor Oxmo Puccino, who narrates the tale. Rich with influences from multiple genres and cultures, the work offers a stunning adaptation of Carroll's story. It features a wide range of musicians including a thirty piece classical orchestra and the children's choir of Radio France. Make no mistake, this recording is a musical event. Maalouf and Puccino take listeners through the looking-glass into a new and exciting sound world. The album is handsomely packaged in a hardback digipack with lyrics (in French) and illustrations.

Hannover MOSTLY OTHER PEOPLE DO THE KILLING Fresh from the mini-furore surrounding their provocative note-for-note Kind of Blue album "Blue", here we have the satirical orthodoxy-inverting New York quartet recorded live (at Jazz Club Hannover in February 2014) and, as the liner notes state, this is "avant-garde jazz having fun". This recording documents the culmination of 10 years of MOPDtK performing live together. The band is heard weaving between compositions and improvisations effortlessly, seamlessly and spontaneously. "The group has established a reputation for subversion, deconstructing standards and their own material through deliberately erratic experimentation and a humorous performance style." BBC Jazz on 3

Plays Love Suite By Eric Dolphy SILKE EBERHARD / POTSA LOTSA PLUS Love Suite is a three-movement suite by Eric Dolphy that he was composing for his planned wedding, but that remained unfinished after his untimely death in Berlin in 1964. German saxophonist Silke Eberhard, a Berlin resident and Dolphy devotee, on learning of the existence of a written score for the work, sought to interpret the music with her eight-piece winds & electronics band Potsa Lotsa. Also included is another Dolphy rarity, Song for the Ram's Horn, and five Eberhard compositions. “My new project follows up on the recording of the ‘Complete Works of Eric Dolphy’ from 2009. Ever since, there was one thing revolving in my head: there is also the legendary ‘Love Suite’, Eric Dolphy’s wedding music, which – due to his early accidental death in 1964 in Berlin – was never recorded by himself. The piece consists of three movements, is unfinished and calls for a continuation. In addition, the Love Suite provides a rich source material which led me to a starting point for new original pieces.” (Silke Eberhard)

Mess Hall JOE MORRIS Number three in a trilogy nearly a quarter century in the making, Mess Hall is also another entry in what Joe Morris terms the “Big Loud Electric Guitar” end of his prolific discography. Plenty of humor underlies that awkward placeholder considering that “big” and “loud” only describes the waterline of the iceberg-sized totality of what Morris accomplishes with his instrument. The guitarist isn’t one to let the listener wonder as to his intentions. He heads off any critics prone to erroneous conjecture with a detailed set of liner notes that elucidate his goals for the project in clear and cogent prose. That willingness to explicate without being pedantic is both refreshing and surprisingly sporadic in improvised music.
Label: Hat Hut Records File Under: Jazz Catalogue No: HATO724 Barcode: 752156072423 Price: FULL PRICE Format: 1 CD Packaging: slim digipack Joe Morris - electric guitar Steve Lantner - keyboards Jerome Dupree - drums
Recorded in October of 2011 with longtime collaborators Steve Lantner on Yamaha electric piano and Jerome Deupree on drums, the disc’s five improvised pieces revolve around a core set of ideas that seek to employ the guitar as a post-Hendrix sound generator. The past two entries in the project, Sweat Shop (1990) and Racket Club (1998) explored various avenues of melodic composition with detours into ostinato and groove forms. Here the structures are more open-ended and concerned with color, texture and weight. To that end Morris breaks a rule set earlier in his career (although discarded with increasing regularity these days) by incorporating effects pedals into his sound and eschewing clean single-note runs.

Frost LUZIA VON WYL ENSEMBLE In many ways, the LUZIA VON WYL ENSEMBLE goes its own way. The ensemble, which consists of ten musicians, not only presents pieces for constantly varying configurations of players but also develops a musical language that at times stretches and expands the boundaries of jazz. Whether performing on traditional stages, in a factory building, or in a museum; whether combining music with photography, texts, or dance; whether dispersed around a performance space or playing in total darkness: the Luzia von Wyl Ensemble turns concerts into events that are innovative and that seek to provide a high-quality experience.

Their repertoire consists exclusively of pieces by the Lucerne-based composer Luzia von Wyl. By founding the Ensemble in 2010, this young musical personality was able to fulfill her dream of bringing together like-minded musicians who love playing as an ensemble and who collaborate with her to refine and present her compositions. The Luzia von Wyl Ensemble now releases its debut album, titled Frost, which was funded by Swiss Radio SRF 2 - Kultur and released on the HatHut Records label. Track listing: 1. Tick-Tock 7:05 2.

Vince Guaraldi Trio + A Flower is a Lovesome Thing VINCE GUARALDI 2 LPs ON 1 CD! This release presents, for the first time ever on a single release, all existing music by the Vince Guaraldi Trio with Eddie Duran on guitar, and Dean Reilly on bass. It consists of Guaraldi’s first two LPs issued under his own name: Vince Guaraldi Trio (Fantasy F-3225) and A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing (Fantasy F-3257). Includes 16-page booklet. Pianist Vince Guaraldi (born Vincent Anthony Dellaglio in San Francisco on July 17, 1928) was noted for his innovative compositions and arrangements and for composing music for animated adaptations of the Peanuts comic strip. Guaraldi’s greatest success came from avenues usually closed to contemporary jazz artists: he enjoyed a hit single at a time when jazz had largely been exiled from the pop charts, and he scored a series of very successful animated television specials, a medium where cookie-cutter pop music was traditionally the order of the day. When people accused him of selling out, Guaraldi exclaimed, “I didn’t sell out, I bought in.”

Charms of the Night Sky LP DAVE DOUGLAS 180g VINYL EDITION Searching for their European roots, for an imaginary homeland they never really had but they all feel a musical and emotional affiliation with, four American musicians met to create an album full of atmospheric density. On "Charms of the Night Sky" the trumpeter and composer from New York, Dave Douglas, and the members of his ensemble interpret Eastern European songs in their very own and individual language. Thus was the music the trumpeter played in coffee houses in the Village to earn some money when he came to New York. Thus he made his very first experiences in the Big Apple. Charms of the Night Sky was voted Album of the Year (1998) in The Wire.

Rua da Emenda ANTONIO ZAMBUJO António Zambujo is now established as a leading ambassador of the fado renaissance in Portugal, breathing fresh life into this old musical style, expressing not only the sorrow and longing but also the joy in this passionate music. His accomplished delivery and fully matured compositional skills set him apart as an artist befiiting recognition way beyond the confines of fado afficionados. Zambujo's music is now almost a genre unto itself, incorporating elements of bossa nova and Cape Verdean morna into a pop sensibilty, imbued with a laidback smoky jazz ambiance; clarinet and guitar to the fore alongside his silky, plaintive voice.

The Mississippi VARIOUS ARTISTS The Mississippi flows from the Great Lakes region to tthe Gulf of Mexico. It's waters lap upon all the musical river shorelines that make up the original and influential history of American roots music, that flowed against the current from Deep South to North. As it passes through the towns and countrysides, the river swirls in the mud of the blues, sweats in the bayous of cajun and zydeco music, swells with the breath of jazz in New Orleans, brims with enthusiasm in the rock and soul of Memphis, ripples with the waves of old-time, bluegrass, folk, rock and rap. It is the great music river par excellence. Eschewing the big names, the obvious names whose music is readily available elsewhere, the choices made for inclusion here are the current crop of talented and dynamic musicians from this most fertile breeding ground, connecting with history whilst forever replenished by the waters. This is the second release in Accords Croises's "The Song of the Rivers" series, following the first volume The Nile (AC139/40). 28 tracks, packaged in a hardback longbox format with detailed liner notes.
