The Theory of Joy IAN SHAW Ian Shaw - jazz singer, songwriter (plus stand-up comedian, radio presenter and producer!) - has returned to working with that classic jazz ensemble, the piano trio. A frequent and accomplished solo performer, for this new recording Ian craved a bit of company, and what company he found… the outstanding pianist Barry Green, distinguished bassist Mick Hutton and ace drummer Dave Ohm, three of the UK’s very finest players. The group has been performing an exciting set of brand new arrangements at festivals and club dates in the UK and Europe, including four recent sell-out shows at London’s Ronnie Scott’s Club. These finely honed new songs were then captured for this new release, “The Theory Of Joy”. Recorded at Snap! Studios in North London in the summer of 2015, Ian was thrilled to have the world-renowned singer Claire Martin as his producer. The involvement of the visionary sound engineer Joe Leach on the project fulfilled another long-held wish.

Mare Nostrum II Paolo FRESU / Richard GALLIANO / Jan LUNDGREN The Long Wait is Over. Mare Nostrum presents 'The Sound of Europe'….. Part Two. Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu, French accordionist Richard Galliano and Swedish pianist Jan Lundgren form the trio “Mare Nostrum” (meaning our sea, and the Romans' name for the Mediterranean). This band forges connections between the discrete musical cultures of its three protagonists. Countless listeners worldwide have been captivated by their music, by this distinctive 'sound of Europe.'When the first album “Mare Nostrum” appeared in 2007, critics in many countries were unanimous in their opinion that these three musicians had succeeded, they had found their way to forging something of timeless beauty. This “lyrical jazz ensemble with a keen sense of composure” (Downbeat, USA) had created “a wonderful album of genuine warmth” (Jazz Magazine, France) which poured forth “poetry and originality” (Süddeutsche Zeitung, DE) and which was “quiet, intimate and on occasions meditative” (Stern, DE). In other words, “a most unusual and beautiful record. An outstanding musical feast” (Morning Star, UK).

Some Other Time NILS LANDGREN with JANIS SIEGEL Of all the great classical maestros of his generation, Leonard Bernstein was the key advocate of jazz. He was not only a profound authority on jazz music, he could also play it on the piano and used its elements when he composed. All the stranger that jazz musicians have practically never adapted Bernstein. These were the exact thoughts of ACT boss Siggi Loch who suggested to Nils Landgren that he create a tribute to the great 20th century composer. And Landgren didn’t have to think twice about it: “I have always been a fan of Bernstein...”. He put together an “absolute dream team”: the Bochum Symphony Orchestra, an exquisite jazz band, the world-class arranger Vince Mendoza and an authentic New Yorker: Janis Siegel from the legendary Manhattan Transfer.

Written in the Rocks RENEE ROSNES • Renee Rosnes delivers a multi-song magnum opus featuring all original music inspired by the evolution of life on earth. • The ensemble includes fellow world-renowned jazz artists Steve Wilson, Steve Nelson, Peter Washington & Bill Stewart • 8-panel deluxe gatefold digipak featuring original photography by John Abbott and original 2,000-word liner notes by author David Hajdu • After a ten-album spell with Blue Note, this is Rosnes' first recording for Smoke Sessions Pianist/composer Renee Rosnes takes an intimate look at the wondrous sweep of the natural world on Written In The Rocks, her new album built around an ambitious new suite inspired by the evolution of life on Earth. A sense of discovery lies at the core of “The Galapagos Suite,” which makes up the bulk of the recording and is named for the island chain that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Discovery is also a key element of the music created by Rosnes and her bandmates.

We play off of each other.” “She offers exquisite balances of delicacy and power, witty and weighted ideas, assertiveness and deference.” - Fred Bouchard, Downbeat Track listing: The Galapagos Suite 1.

Dubcatcher 2 - Wicked My Yout DJ VADIM Vadim, in his super hero outfit, comes to take us on a Luke Skywalker-like adventure to fight the baddies (babylon federation) in his musical kitchen. He takes well known ingredients like reggae, dub, ska, mixes in some hip hop, soul, jungle and adds some big bass line’s to spice up the mix. Yes the roots of the album are founded in Jamaican music but this is no wannabe copy … Like Nice n smooth said its the ‘old to the new’. Legends like Max Romeo and Earl 16 are joined with new upcoming artists like Eva Lazarus and Tman. Reggae jungle maestros Demolition Man and General Levy join UK grimey rap spitters Metropolis and Jman. The Gilles Peterson-touted soothing voice of Junior Williams to the french Raggasonic vibes of Big Red and mr Stand High Patrol and Mungo’s HiFI affiliate Pupa Jim. In fact this is more than just a reggae record. This is retro but also forward thinking. Think Massive Attack’s first album vs Wiley. Sly n Robbie vs J Dillah. Throw in a some powerful soul with big drums and you aint far off. It sounds a bit cheesy to say, its something for everyone ,but this album really does touch many spots from being politically aware, social commentary, sufferation messages to straight up good vibes and bad habits.

Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic V: Lost Hero - Tears for Esbjörn RANTALA / TOLSTOY / WAKENIUS / DANIELSSON / LUND No other European jazz pianist has had such a formative influence in his field in recent years as the Swede Esbjörn Svensson, who died far too soon in 2008. In changing constellations, moods and interpretations, Iiro Rantala, Viktoria Tolstoy, Ulf Wakenius, Lars Danielsson and Morten Lund take on some of the best-known Svensson respectively e.s.t. works. And if the album title “Tears For Esbjörn” becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy upon hearing Svensson’s most emotional piece “Love Is Real” nobody needs to be ashamed; neither for tears of sadness at the irreplaceable loss of Esbjörn Svensson, nor for tears of joy at the music he left us with.

For You LOU TAVANO She is the new vocal-jazz sensation in a Parisian scene already jam-packed with impressive names. Now in her early 30s, Lou Tavano is bringing out her first album, a work that will attract the same attention as her trade-mark shock of fiery-red hair. Every song on “For You” is its own little cosmos that reveals Tavano’s extraordinary talent for creating a musical universe in which words carry just as much weight as the notes.
