Sobre Noites e Dias LUCAS SANTTANA Head past the lasciviousness, raw power and spectacle of baile funk and tecnobrega, and the ever-present samba grooves and you will find a mini-revolution is happening in Brazil. Pop music is being crafted with melody, wit and invention. At the heart of it all is Lucas Santtana. Sobre Noites e Dias, is his sixth album and third to be released outside of Brazil. Working with a variety of collaborators, the Bahian-born singer's latest continues where his last record, The God Who Devastates Also Cures, left off. Once again he combines the acoustic with the electronic, switching between reflection and something more visceral, the hustle of the city followed by the countryside's gentle whisper.
Label: No Format! File Under: World music / Brazil Catalogue No: NOF25 Barcode: 3298494630095 Price: FULL PRICE Format: 1 CD Packaging: digipack
Recorded in Brazil as well as Paris, the new album features collaborations with French actress Fanny Ardent on the hypnotic "Human Time" and French rapper Féfé on the African-infused "Diary of a Bike"; with members of São Paulo's afro-punks Metá-Metá embellishing many of the tracks; and another French ally, renowned cellist Vincent Segal, on the contemplative “Blind Date”. Rio's tecnobrega innovator Omulu and the German DJ and producer Daniel Haaksman provide their assistance on one of the album's stand-outs, "Funk dos Bromanticos". It's the perfect example of Santtana's polycultural method of making music. Lucas Santtana in concert: Weds 10th December, Purcell Room, London

Jazzy Christmas PAOLO FRESU QUINTET Paolo Fresu's Jazzy Christmas is the perfect soundtrack for celebrating the holiday season. The fruit of many years of planning, this album focuses on the songs that are close to Fresu's heart. Backed by his quintet and the unique talents and tone color of Daniele di Bonaventura on bandonĂŠon, Fresu takes us across time and space on a personal Christmas journey, offering his take on a selection of yuletide favourites, songs by Irving Berlin and Mel TormĂŠ, and traditional songs from his homeland of Sardinia. The album was recorded live in Sassari in December, 2012.

Planetary Tunes HELIOCENTRIC COUNTERBLAST Heliocentric Counterblast takes Sun Ra’s music as a platform with which to go their own musical direction, combining various elements of the jazz-tradition from oldtime-swing to free-jazz. The cacophony of global life, from the grunting of a herd of gnus and the crying of a newborn child to the lift-off of a rocket, seems to come together at a high altitude to form a magical accord. And so we fly at various heights with Sun Ra in his shuttle “Heliocentric Counterblast”. At times shaken up as in an asteroid belt, at others first thrown into a green crocodile swamp to be then catapulted out of a volcano accompanied by drunken elves. One can imagine that this requires fantastic instrumentalists. Heliocentric Counterblast superbly accomplishes this feat, this trip in 80 beats around the world. Each musician masters many tongues from the angelic to glossolalia.

Feature ERNST REIJSEGER Ernst Reijseger, individualist, cellist, composer and performance artist, born 1954 in Naarden in the Netherlands, is one of the most important cellists of the contemporary music scene. On November 13th, 2014 Winter & Winter celebrates the 60th birthday of this exceptional artist with a special project. This musical feature reflects the characteristics as well as the unmistakable nature of Ernst Reijseger.

"For almost twenty years I've been collaborating with Ernst Reijseger and together we have built up a unique canon. A variety of projects with the Tenores e Cuncordu from Sardinia, with classical artists, with singers and percussionists from Africa and with jazz musicians, as well as soundtracks for Werner Herzog have been realised. Yet, Ernst Reijseger always returns to solo improvisation or compositions for cello ensemble and chamber orchestra. He is one of the most outstanding musicians and artists that I ever met and got the chance to know. He speaks and sings through his cello, his instrument becomes a part of his body and he pens works filled with the highest musicality, beauty, pure elegance and sensitivity.

Musique Sans Frontières MICHELE CAMPANELLA & JAVIER GIROTTO Two worlds face to face: the exactness of classical music versus the improvisational freedom of jazz. This is the gauntlet Ermanno Basso, music producer at CAM JAZZ, has thrown down to pianist Michele Campanella and saxophonist Javier Girotto. Campanella chose some tunes from Maurice Ravel’s and Claude Debussy’s repertoires, and, together with Girotto, sought common ground where they could meet and express themselves, hereby preserving their own distinctive features. It is neither classical music that is lured by the free form of jazz, nor jazz that makes an attempt at the sober elegance of classical music. This is where the originality of this CD lies: no compromise, no attempt to create a questionable hybrid, just a dialogue of two different, apparently compatible voices.

Bachology DAVID GAZAROV TRIO In the recent past, there have been very few cases of musicians filling in on short notice for more famous colleagues who became ill and – like David Gazarov – immediately became stars themselves. The story began in October 2011 after a performance by Jacques Loussier had to be canceled on very short notice.
Label: Enja/HW File Under: Jazz Catalogue No: ENJ9730 Barcode: 767522973020 Price: FULL PRICE Format: 1 CD Packaging: digipack David Gazarov – piano Mini Schulz – bass Obi Jenne - drums
After a rehearsal of a mere 90 minutes, David Gazarov (born in Azerbaijan, studied in Moscow, currently residing in Zagreb) delighted the Loussier fans. Critics spoke of “a worthy successor…”. The subsequent concerts at the Berlin Philharmonic, in Hamburg, Hannover, Bremen and Stuttgart confirmed and enhanced his success. The critics rhapsodized about Gazarov’s delicacy, strength, virtuosity and innovative power, writing: "Under the title BACHOLOGY, he demonstrated how far the art of piano improvisation surrounding Bach’s works can go in the 21st century. First, he played the entire piece almost in the original version, changing the harmonics only slightly. Then, he took just a few bars of the primary motif and made it into a bebop lasting nearly ten minutes, subsequently demonstrating the richness of jazz harmonics and rhythm according to the classic principle of the theme with variations. An abundance of talent and surprises: breathtaking technique, a subtle touch, a wide range of timbres, ingenuity and a tremendous amount of feeling, masterful strokes of genius… sometimes it’s as if Art Tatum and Vladimir Horowitz were vacationing together in the Orient.” (Jazzthetik) Track listing: 1. Italian Concerto 2. Ave Maria - The Only Hope... 3. Air 4. Choral #1 - Paraphrase 5. Mad Clown's Dream 6. Jazz Bourrée 7. Moments of Anna's Life 8. You Look Good To Me

Prelude AIRELLE BESSON & NELSON VERAS She plays divinely the trumpet, he is currently one of the best guitarists. Over the past few years, they have formed a magic duet which reg-ularly appears in the biggest European festivals. They album is now out, at last. A delight, just like their concerts. Musician, trumpeter, composer and conductor, Airelle Besson is all this at the same time. Sought musician, (she recorded about fifty al-bums from Rocking Chair, her first band, to the last album of Metronomy), her meeting with the Brazilian guitarist Nelson Veras, matured by numerous and regular concerts, has given birth to an original duet (trumpet and guitar), with great musicality and a touch musical taste for danger. We discover a new, sophisticated and subtle, harmonious and delicate music, where listening, exchanges, creativity, freshness are key words. A great achievement.

Morning Joy... Paris Live STEVE LACY FOUR A re-issue of a 1986 live set by Lacy's quartet recorded by Radio France. What we have here is a one-nighter by the Steve Lacy Quartet at Paris' Sunset Club... The four members of the quartet get a chance to stretch out and you can feel the club energy clearly in the recording – it's a good night at the Sunset...in this era of homogenization – of jazz players who are filled with technique but have gotten their sound from textbooks – there is not enough attention that can be focused on an uncompromising jazz individual like Steve Lacy. Morning Joy is yet another distinguished addition to a substantial and important body of work. – Lee Jeske (sleeve notes) "Morning Joy may not break any new ground, but it should provide considerable listening pleasure, both for those already familiar with the miraculous world of Steve Lacy and for those who are entering it for the first time."

As Serious As Your Life JOE McPHEE The Hat Hut label was originally conceived in the mid seventies with the exact purpose of releasing music by the Miami reedsman Joe McPhee. Recent years have seen many of McPhee's Hat albums fall out of print, so it is encouraging that this 1996 offering has been re-issued. Now well into his seventies, McPhee continues to tour and record and his stature as an artist has never been higher, acknowledgement of an underrated but important voice. As Serious As Your Life, named after the Val Wilmer book as a tribute to the author and the music she championed, is a remarkable solo excursion utilising a variety of instruments, an album described in the Penguin Jazz Guide as "a body of work which is as evocative and expressive as anything he has ever made."

Open Me GUILLAUME PERRET & THE ELECTRIC EPIC Guillaume Perret and The Electric Epic embark on a new journey offering a universal unclassifiable sensitive and strong angry music. A saxophonist with a desire to unravel a new kind of sound, Guillaume Perret is an explorer. He plays the wah-wah pedal and electric effects to elevate his notes to a new and surprising universe, one that makes you dream, distorting sounds to make them strangely more musical. His music doesn’t belong to a specific genre, rather it calls upon our senses. It is an innovative mixture of contemporary Jazz, funky grooves, screaming metal‌ a hybrid sort of music, troubling, bewitching, that evokes sensations and imagery. Open Me is the band's second album, the first on their own label after debuting on John Zorn's Tzadik in 2012. "This music is just extraordinary, incredible. The program, the performance and this quartet are frighteningly mind-blowing, a big breath of fresh air that makes us marvel at the array of possibilities we can call music." Culture Jazz, France

The William Parker Sessionography RICK LOPEZ 15 years in the making. Astonishing, profound, worthy of high honors in the field of such research and all positive adjectives that can be bestowed on such a mighty creation. A labor of both deep love and an exceedingly obsessive nature. Just having this book in one's hands feels like holding a sacrament. This is not a discography (although of course a complete WP discography is a part of it); this is a fully annotated (and lavishly illustrated) record of practically every time that William Parker has ever played a gig, with all and every ensemble, as band member or leader, from 1972 clear through to Vision Festival 2014. This is a vast microcosm of one jazz musician that reveals the macrocosm of jazz during the period of time covered -- an extensive history of jazz through the work schedule of one profound jazz musician and his affiliations with elemental participants in the history of that time and this time.

The backing group includes such stars as Clark Terry, Jimmy Cleveland, Paul Quinichette, Cecil Payne, Wynton Kelly, and Miles Davis’ drummer Jimmy Cobb.

LESTER YOUNG / BUDDY RICH TRIO The complete original LP The Lester Young-Buddy Rich Trio (Verve MGV-8164). It consists of an amazing trio set by the two title artists plus the incomparable Nat “King” Cole on the piano (he was signed to another record label at the time, so he appeared on the LP under the pseudonym of “Aye Guy”). The only existing alternate take produced at the session has been added as a bonus, as well as two further sessions in their entirety which complete Young’s recordings with Nat King Cole (the AFRS Jubilee show also features Buddy Rich on drums). To round out the set, we present two Jazz at the Philharmonic performances from the same period featuring both Young and Rich plus a plethora of great stars. Includes 12-page booklet.

Interpretations #3 LP + 1 Bonus Track
STAN GETZ This LP, which came after two previous volumes, presented further quintet sides by the group formed by Stan Getz (1927-1991) with Bob Brookmeyer, pianist (and future Hollywood composer) John Williams, bassists Teddy Kotick or Bill Anthony, and drummer Frank Isola. Getz’s working band of the period, the quintet was booked in the summer of 1953 to play at Zardi’s nightclub on Hollywood Boulevard during seven uninterrupted weeks. The long engagement would expand the quintet’s repertoire, which Norman Granz took advantage of during these sessions. Getz and John Williams would only work together during the period 1953-55. Getz and Bob Brookmeyer (1929-2011) first recorded together in 1952. They would continue playing and recording together sporadically in different contexts throughout the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Getz and drummer Frank Isola (1925-2004) first recorded together in 1952, when Getz’ quintet included yet another ex-Parker member, pianist Duke Jordan, as well as Jimmy Raney, and bassist Bill Crow. Isola would remain with Getz until 1955, and after that they would never record together again.

There is an extended gap in Sonny Rollins’ discography between 1959 and 1962 in which he voluntarily decided not to play in public. No recordings exist from this period after the private tapes that were made during his March 1959 European tour. His subsequent recordings were the January-February 1962 sessions that would produce the album The Bridge. This marked the first of Rollins’ legendary musical sabbaticals. Living on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, he was often spotted on the nearby Williamsburg Bridge at night, deep in a rigorous practice session. This vinyl album is presented here featuring on the cover David McLane’s classic photo of Sonny on the bridge. “At the risk of being unable to give Rollins a higher numerical rating when he surpasses this album (and I have every confidence that he will) this set still has to be placed in the superlative class.” ***** Down Beat Track listing: SIDE A: 1.

Viva Outsider TAMMY PAYNE Tammy Payne's new record 'Viva Outsider' is smart, heady, and crafted with the taste of jazz, the twist of punk, and the twirl of counterpoint, line, and harmony. After two years of radio silence, Tammy Payne has returned to recording for the first time under her own name (her last record was an album of classic rock and folk covers on the jazz label Edition Records with the band Tamco in 2012). 'Viva Outsider' is a shout chorus in her storied career, and when eviscerated, spills lustful lyrics and clean lines. The solid masonry of her foundation here is built upon the talent of her fellow brilliant musicians, and her vision is recorded simply, honestly, and colorfully, like splashes of Miro or Gogh. If 'Viva Outsider' were to waft off a mountainside, or trip off an inner city wall, her siren song would call dogs from sleep, sailors from three centuries past, and musicians' musicians from miles around. Listen.

Duduvudu The Gospel According to Dudu Pukwana
VARIOUS ARTISTS Those lucky enough to have been exposed to Dudu Pukwana’s music will forever be in the grip of of a rare and beautiful musical spirit. More than 20 years after his death, his uniquely original music lives in a powerful and inspirational way. This album is a tribute to Dudu helmed by American musician/producer Andrew Scott, who first heard the Blue Notes in 1966 at Leeds University - the genesis of a personal musical journey leading up to this special project. Duduvudu has been a family affair - a true international, multi-generational collaborative labour of love with direct involvement of those most intimately associated with Dudu, The Blue Notes, and Brotherhood of Breath: trumpeter Harry Beckett (his last recording session), percussionist Thomas Dyani, bassist Nick Stephens, trombonist Annie Whitehead, guitarist Pierre Dørge (New Jungle Orchestra), Hazel Miller of Ogun Records (and the widow of Blue Notes bassist Harry Miller), and Veronica Beckett, widow of Harry Beckett. Dudu’s widow Barbara Pukwana is executive producer.

The initial recordings were done in London in November 2009 with the addition of Dave Draper on guitar, Mark Sanders on drums, Jody Scott on trumpet, Ntshuks Bonga on alto, and Chloe Scott on flute. Additional tracks have been recorded in San Francisco by some of the Bay Area’s finest. The Musical Director of Duduvudu is the renowned London-born, San Francisco-based flutist, Chloe Scott. Jody Scott is co-producer/chief mix engineer on the project. Although there have been a number of recordings dedicated to Dudu and the Blue Notes, this tribute focuses on an area perhaps not explored in depth - the blues/gospel/dance imbued in the music. As out as it gets, the groove is woven throughout. The album is released on the San Francisco label Edgetone, via Cadillac Records for the UK. Track listing: 1. Sekela Khuluma 0:32 / 2.

Lullabies & Dreams THE QUIET BAND “I wanted to make a jazz album that could lull my baby girl to sleep.” That was the inspiration for band-leader Dom Sales, founder and Director of the Jellymould label, when making the album Lullabies & Dreams. The album is a collection of jazz standards and lullabies dedicated to night time and most importantly – for new parents – sleep! The soothing vocal comes from new vocalist Jennie Marie Hammond. Her beautiful naïve quality, reminiscent of Astrud Gilberto’s style flows effortlessly over the top of a rhythm section comprising Sean Miller – piano, Richard Hammond – bass and Dom on drums. Mark Chandler is a trumpet player of distinct pedigree. His sublime flugel playing on this album showcases a musician of extreme taste along with tenor saxophonist Mike Hope whose sensitive playing is featured on a number of tracks. The band is completed by Tim Gunnel on vibraphone and Stuart Worthy on percussion.
