I Hear The Sound ARCHIE SHEPP ATTICA BLUES ORCHESTRA On September 9,1971, a riot broke out in Attica Prison, New York State, and quickly spread. Five days later the prison was re-taken by force and 39 people were left dead: 29 prisoners and 10 hostages. At first, the administration tried to blame the guards’ deaths on the rioters, before being forced to renege. In January 1972, Archie Shepp recorded the album Attica Blues in tribute to this rebellion. After the original and the repeat performance at the Palais des Glaces in 1979 of his Attica Blues Orchestra, Archie Shepp in 2012 revived this fantastic ensemble, together with a brilliant and dynamic collective of performers. It is an orchestra which transcends styles and epochs. The band international in scope, combining the extraordinary abilities of great American artists such as: Amina Claudine Myers, Famoudou Don Moye, Ambrose Akinmusire and Reggie Washington, with an array of some of the brightest stars on the European horizon - a 26-piece orchestra which emits a unique generational and cultural ambiance.

Illusions IBRAHIM MAALOUF As in his four previous albums or in the different musical pieces he has composed over the last ten years, Illusions is the fruit of a long mediatation lasting several years around a theme close to his heart: the illusory or true way we look at things. This album was recorded for the first time with members of the group he has been playing with since his first album. Illusions is also a concept album in which Ibrahim decides to have fun, without lingering too long on the feel-good notes, but rather by juggling with the reassuring ones to put them in jeopardy. Illusions is intended to be more fun, more open and less jazzy than his previous work Wind, with a musical colouring that approaches rock or even funk. Illusions is intended to bring people together because it was written for a wider audience. And as always, Ibrahim's signature subtle mix of eastern and western influences permeates the melodies of this composition.

Polska MOZDZER / DANIELSSON / FRESCO Leszek Mozdzer - already a star in his homeland, and in Europe the most important Polish jazz musician of his generation after Tomasz Stańko, the 42 year-old pianist from Danzig is the embodiment of the current journey of European jazz. "Polska" would not sound the way it does, if it had not been born in a trio with the Swedish bassist Lars Danielsson and the Israeli percussionist and singer Zohar Fresco. Unperceived here, these three have already recorded two albums in Poland that went double platinum (just like the recent "Komeda"). Now, no matter where you are, with "Polska" you can discover one of the most fascinating and extraordinary trios in the world with Leszek Mozdzer as its creative mastermind. One that sweeps you away with the pulsating "KarMa Party" or simply enchants with the balladesque "Norgon", and one that with the aid of the Polish Symphony Orchestra knows how to provide a grand finale, with a version of Jimi Hendrix' "Are You Experienced?".

New Eyes on Baroque JEANETTE KOHN & SWEDISH RADIO CHOIR There are many recordings of baroque music – both of the historical sort, and those that take a radical modern approach to the original. On "New Eyes on Baroque", the Swedish soprano Jeanette Köhn chooses to strike a balance between the two. She is assisted in doing so by the proven "Christmas With My Friends" ensemble fronted by Nils Landgren, and the Swedish Radio Choir under the baton of Gustaf Sjökvist. The classically trained singer and the tradition-rich choir have abundant experience performing baroque music, and here they join forces with instrumentalists firmly rooted in jazz. "New Eyes on Baroque" does without grand effects, captivating instead by means of the aura of the compositions that the musicians internalise. Köhn's compassionate voice, the natural sound of the acoustic ensemble and the sonorous Swedish Radio Choir are impactful enough on their own, and prove that it is still possible to lend a new edge to compositions that are centuries old.

Beyond the Double Bass RENAUD GARCIA-FONS The CD BEYOND THE DOUBLE BASS gives great insight into the phenomenon Renaud García-Fons focussing on essential tracks of his ten CD releases, personally selected and commented by the artist. A welcome surprise is his daughter Soleá’s contribution Camino de Felicidad. Her wonderful, warmly expressive Flamenco tinged voice is a highlight in this instrumental album and provides a yet unheard side of the great bass player’s soundscape.
Label: Enja/MW File Under: Jazz Catalogue No: ENJ96082 Barcode: 063757960829 Price: FULL PRICE Format: CD + DVD Packaging: digipack
The DVD of this CD+DVD package documents the creative process of García-Fons. Film maker Nicolas Dattilesi has followed Renaud for many years and won the ECHO-Award (something like the German Grammy) for his Marcevol DVD (ENJ-9581). On the new DVD many partners of the bassist give their views and interpretations on his music, musicians like Nguyên Lê, Barre Phillips, David Peña Dorantes, Derya Türkan, Jean Auray who custom-builds his instruments, journalists like Alex Dutilh, Jonathan Glusman and long time producer Matthias Winckelmann. Extensive interviews and smashing concert excerpts between Paris and Istanbul point out the unique concept of this artist and his grasp on Mediterranean music developed out of Flamenco, the jazz tradition and classical music. It’s a highest quality DVD filmed by 5 HD cameras and expert cameramen, subtitles of the French language original in English, Spanish and German. Renaud García-Fons’ career has developed in great leaps in recent years covering all Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, the US and Canada, Australia and very soon he will be on his first tour in Korea and China.

The Brandenburg Concert DUSKO GOYKOVICH WITH STRINGS Dusko Goykovich has dreamed, as far back as he can remember, of music, his personal metaphor for life. He left Yugoslavia to try to realise his dreams. In Germany he met Louis Armstrong, Zoot Sims, Lionel Hampton, Hans Koller. Dizzy Gillespie put his bent trumpet into Dusko’s hands and, soon, the young man had also begun long-term friendships with Chet Baker and Miles Davis. He toured in America with Maynard Ferguson and Woody Herman, and uopn returning to Germany cut a host of albums for Enja with Mal Waldron, Nathan Davis, Tete Montoliu, Kenny Drew, Gianni Basso, Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Barron, Jimmy Heath, Abraham Burton and many more.

Now, at age 82, Dusko sees another long-nourished dream become reality. Perhaps this project would not have been right for the impetuous young bebopper, but in May of 2013, it became very right. It was then that he found himself standing, in a perfect moment, on the stage of the Brandenburg Theater with the string section of the Brandenburg Symphonic Orchestra. There was nothing to prove – the majesty of his horn found a match in the magic of the violins, violas and cellos. Dusko and the band – with Renato Chicco on piano, Martin Gjakonovski on bass, Vladimir Kostadinovic on drums and arranger Peter King on alto saxophone, have given a timeless and highly attractive lustre to his own classics.

NAT 'KING' COLE Portrait illuminates the work of those universally recognised artists we all know and love, the leaders and the groundbreakers: those for whom we can all agree there was a ‘before’ and an ‘after’. The two indisputable champions of French ‘chanson’ are Edith Piaf and Charles Trénet. Piaf left an enduring legacy, both to music hall and to musical performers (male and female alike), from Yves Montand to Mireille Mathieu, including Jacques Brel and Annie Cordy, whilst Trénet was the first in a venerable line of great singer-songwriters, a spur to the creative energy of the likes of Georges Brassens, Leo Ferré and Serge Gainsbourg.

Adopted Highway DAVE KING TRUCKING COMPANY Drummer/composer Dave King has become enamored with the concept of bridging the gap between American roots music and the avant-garde. He has created The Trucking Company as a palette for mixing both musical styles and superior musical talents not of the mainstream. As a matter of fact, the ensemble could be seen as the poster child for bands revolting against the academic lean of mainstream jazz, preferring a slant toward the corporeal.The Trucking Company's new recording Adopted Highway was recorded with earthy intentions. The ensemble, featuring guitarist Erik Fratzke, bassist Adam Linz along with saxophonists Chris Speed and Brandon Wozniak, recorded onto two-inch tape providing a warm analog sound along with the immediacy of only being able to do one or two takes per tune.

Thwirl STEPHAN CRUMP'S ROSETTA TRIO When it feels right, stick with it...and keep digging. Rosetta Trio has done just that, and on Thwirl they achieve a breakthrough of their own.
Label: Sunnyside File Under: Jazz Catalogue No: SSC1364 Barcode: 016728136426 Price: FULL PRICE Format: 1 CD Packaging: digipack Liberty Ellman - acoustic guitar Jamie Fox - electric guitar Stephan Crump - acoustic bass
Stephan Crump brought together Rosetta Trio for the first time in 2005 to record an album of pieces written in the aftermath of 9/11. That “engaging and sublime meeting” of Crump on acoustic bass with guitarists Liberty Ellman and Jamie Fox, produced Rosetta (2006), which was greeted enthusiastically by fans, radio, and the press. “Here is a string ensemble for the new century!" raved Donald Elfman in All About Jazz NY. Their second album, Reclamation (2010), declared “a low-key marvel” (JazzTimes) and noted for its “bareness in emotion” (NPR), was much more than a follow-up effort, though it was the earlier album that gave the trio its name and its mission: to inhabit the dynamic and rhythmic flexibility of a drumless ensemble and embrace its challenges and expanded responsibilities; to reject restrictions of genre; to explore different territories of feel, texture, color; to groove. Recorded after eight years of collaboration and on the heels of a two-week European tour, Thwirl captures Rosetta Trio not only at peak telepathy, but charting new territories of shape and feel.

Dialogues LAURENT COQ The French-born pianist Laurent Coq has been an important name in the world of jazz in both Europe and the United States for nearly two decades. His work has traversed the realm of the tradition yet continues to push boundaries. His latest recording – Dialogue – highlights Coq’s unique disposition as he echoes sonorities from jazz’s past while showcasing future talents and creating a unique blend of jazz and West Indian musical styles. Coq has long been fascinated by the possibility and the challenges of performing piano alongside guitar, but the similarities in range, sound, and chording create numerous challenges. Coq found his guitar foil six years ago in a composition class he taught in Paris - Ralph Lavital, son of the famous Guadeloupean guiatrist Tinou Lavital. When the two finally began performing together, Coq wanted to focus on blending jazz with the flavor of the Caribbean. The talented Martiniquais vocalist Nicolas Pelage sings on five tracks.

Mediterranean Sound BELMONDO FAMILY SEXTET Mediterranean Sound marks brothers Lionel and Stéphane Belmondo’s musical reunion as they pay a vibrant tribute to their father Yvan, who has succeeded in passing down his love and knowledge of jazz. Joining forces on an album for the first time, the three Belmondos have recorded as a sextet with the help of guitarist Jean-Philippe Sempere, double-bass player Sylvain Romano and drummer Jean-Pierre Arnaud. This record take them back to their main influences, especially the early ones: modern jazz, feverish East Coast hard bop as well as intricate West Coast arrangements. Lodged between Stéphane’s trumpet and Lionel’s tenor, the paternal baritone imposes its authority with its deep tone and sharp attacks, owing much to Gerry Mulligan when he was playing in that piano-less quartet with Chet Baker and Pepper Adams, when he and Donald Byrd formed the perfect pair. Connecting them is jazz, eternal and robust, full of joy and swing. From the Pacific coast of California to the wild shores of the Mediterranean, there is but a short step, which the Belmondo brothers take with swing, panache and delight.

B2Bill A Tribute to Bill Evans
Emmanuel BEX / Nico MORELLI / Mike LADD It is difficult to describe this collection of musical moments dedicated to pianist Bill Evans. One can say, for example, that the interplay of Hammond organ and acoustic piano is not only brilliant but, in the way it is done here, totally original. Yet this, as you will hear, just barely begins to scratch the surface. This is the mystery of where the primitive meets the avant-garde, the street meets the steeple, the sky meets the ground. This is the space that is captured so beautifully on this recording. BEN SIDRAN – December 2012

Pater Noster ETIENNE MBAPPE For three decades Cameroon-born Etienne Mbappe has demonstrated that he is without doubt one of the world's great bass players. With a tremendous creativity, an amazing technique, along with an incredible sense of rhythm, he has created a musical genre all of his own, transcending the boundaries between jazz, fusion, funk, rock and African sounds. His prowess is evident through the many invitations he has received, to play alongside the likes of Salif Keita, Ray Lema, Manu Dibango, Toure Kunda, Carlos Santana, Ray Charles and Steps Ahead. He was a long-time member of the Zawinul Syndicate and currently plays with John McLaughlin in 4th Dimension. Pater Noster, Mbappe's third solo album with his band Su La Také, also confirms him as a composer and vocalist of note.

The Day After THE VOLUNTEERED SLAVES The Day After was originally the name given by the Slaves to their concert on 21 December 2012 organised before the supposed end of the world. Still alive and kicking on 22 December 2012, the band kept the tongue-in-cheek title for their new recording. The ‘day after’ might also be the day after the Slaves’ birthday: ten years of this unique and eccentric group, not taking itself too seriously while cultivating the fashionable musical concept of ‘organised chaos’. Jazz? Not jazz? World? Afrobeat? Hip hop? Rock? Pop? Free? Funk? The band chose a long time ago not to respond to such irritating questions. With them, everything is on the table right from the start. Over hundreds of concerts, this boisterous and high-spirited troop has refined its act of ingenious musical acrobatics. Funky maybe, but refined. A racket? Maybe, but meticulously arranged and thought-out, the result of many nights spent playing music by (and with) Michael Jackson and John Coltrane, the standards of be-bop and hard bop, groove and true jazz, starting out with heads in the stars and finishing bathed in sweat on the dance floor.

Looking for Parker Manu CODJIA / Geraldine LAURENT / Christophe MARGUET It's very much a trio of equals that recorded Looking For Parker, but alto saxophonist Géraldine Laurent sometimes muscles her way out front. This is partly just the nature of the horn, and partly because she plays the same instrument as Charlie Parker, to whose music the record is dedicated. And most of all, Laurent, more than her band mates, clearly derives from the bebop lineage initiated by Parker. Guitarist Manu Codjia is one of the freshest-sounding guitar players anywhere: he clearly owes a debt to Bill Frisell—evident on the crystalline "Out of Nowhere," or in the dreamy opening of "April in Paris"—but also to Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. The guitarist's role is crucial, as he stands in, variously, for the piano and bass on the old Parker quintet recordings. Sometimes he plays a more or less straight combination of the rhythm and harmony instruments of the originals, as on the marvelous "Hot House," where his conservatism encourages particularly adventurous playing from drummer Christophe Marguet.

JAN LUNDGREN At age 46 Swedish pianist JAN LUNDGREN releases a solo album. After almost 40 CDs published under his own name, Jan finally felt ready to approach the most difficult configuration for a pianist : alone in front of his instrument. Man in the Fog has turned out to be a very intimate album presenting an artist at the peak of his art as a instrumentalist, as a composer and as an improviser. Man in the Fog celebrates the quintessence of a steadily built up career as an artist, constantly developing his incredible technique and deep musical knowledge into a genuine and personal language, combined with a unique sense for the melody and the poetry of jazz.

I Remember Chet ERIC LE LANN “There was something really touching about him, such as his music, a mix between vulnerability and strength.” Eric Le Lann These words written by Eric Le Lann to describe Chet Baker, his friend for almost ten years, show a real admiration and respect for the legendary trumpeter with which he often collaborated during the 1980’s. With more than a dozen albums to his credit, I Remember Chet is the first collaboration between Eric Le Lann and the label BeeJazz. Fort the record of the album Eric Le Lann was surrounded by some great musicians in Gildas Boclé and Nelson Veras, that brilliant guitarist with whom he has played since 2006.

Traversées GUILLAUME DE CHASSY “Classical and jazz music are my two musical lands that I’ve been striding along the boundaries for a long time. The Concerto for piano in which the soloist improvises beside a symphony orchestra represents a decisive step in my career. This album is dedicated to the pianist Brigitte Engerer with whom I had the honour to collaborate with for 4 years and who remains a living source of inspiration and enthusiasm.” Guillaume de Chassy After 9 albums to his credit, Traversées is the first symphonic album of Guillaume de Chassy. Recorded in the mythical studio La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, it’s composed of two parts. First a Piano Concerto recorded beside the Orchestre Dijon Bourgogne under the direction of Jean-Christophe Cholet and composed by Guillaume de Chassy. The second part of the album is dedicated to the work Música Callada from the Catalan musician Frédéric Mompou (1893-1987) in which Guillaume de Chassy takes up again some extracts of the suite of 28 miniatures inspired by the poetry of the the 16th century Spanish mystic San Juan-de-la-Cruz.

La Chance à la Chanson Portrait collection
CHARLES TRENET Portrait illuminates the work of those universally recognised artists we all know and love, the leaders and the groundbreakers: those for whom we can all agree there was a ‘before’ and an ‘after’. The two indisputable champions of French ‘chanson’ are Edith Piaf and Charles Trénet. Piaf left an enduring legacy, both to music hall and to musical performers (male and female alike), from Yves Montand to Mireille Mathieu, including Jacques Brel and Annie Cordy, whilst Trénet was the first in a venerable line of great singer-songwriters, a spur to the creative energy of the likes of Georges Brassens, Leo Ferré and Serge Gainsbourg.

What's Up? Femmes Poètes de la Beat Generation
JEAN-MARC MONTERA Though the male authors and actors of the Beat Generation, the flag-bearers, are more familiar to us, a number of female writers gravitated to the 'movement' and played an active role. Women with larger than life personalities, with a strong energy, sensitive, caring, tormented, inspired, intelligent and independent characters; greedy for encounters, connections, exchanges. The genesis for this album was the Brenda Knight book "Women of the Beat Generation", and it has no other pretension than to give a voice, a sound to the words of some of the Women: Anne Waldman, ruth weiss, Janine Pommy Vega and Hettie Jones.

Upon The Bridge 2LP GROUNDATION THE FINAL TITLE IN SOULBEATS' DOUBLE 180g VINYL REISSUE PROGRAMME OF ALL THINGS GROUNDATION.
Upon the Bridge (2006) brings listeners closer to the overall concept of the entire works of Groundation. All 4 previous albums have led to this point. Picking up where We Free (2004) left off, Upon the Bridge is the individual's journey beyond their known world to a bridge of mythic proportion. In their search of hope and prosperity the individual must make the journey across the bridge leading them to an unknown future. Keeping with the Groundation practice of joining their original and distinctive sound with the foundation that is Reggae music, the album features the voices of two Jamaican legends: Pablo Moses and Ijahman Levi. Upon the Bridge will take music lovers and fans of deep conscious music to new heights as the group demonstrates their evolution in the arrangements, songwriting, and studio creativity of Groundation.
