REGGAE NEW RELEASE - 17/06/2016 Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno - 1000 Watts TRUCD324 TRULP324 5060205156761 5060205156778 CD LP2 TRU THOUGHTS TRU THOUGHTS REGGAE REGGAE £7.99 £10.99 1000 Watts' is the third album from the tropical reggae- and dub-infused Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno project. This outing sees musical explorer Will "Quantic" Holland making a more concerted foray into pure reggae-roots territory, although flashes of Holland's Colombian influences still shine through. A sun-drenched record, the LP is charged with atmosphere and a fitting tribute to dub music's evolution. There’s also a 2LP gatefold version Drawing together a set of classic style rhythms for the dancefloor, '1000 Watts' was recorded direct to tape, with all the band members in the same room; for this outing, Holland enlisted his most prestigious roll-call of guests yet. Alongside Jamaican dub legend U-Roy and long-time collaborator Alice Russell, the featured artists include popular reggae singers Hollie Cook and Christopher Ellis. The late, great keyboard maestro Ikey Owens (whose tragic 2014 passing followed a career working with everyone from Run The Jewels to The Mars Volta to Jack White) and legendary Jamaican drummer Santa Davis, known for his work with the likes of Bob Marley and The Aggravators. Now based in New York, after almost a decade living in Colombia, British producer, musician and band-leader Quantic has enchanted fans and tastemakers with more than 15 albums in as many years. Seeking out and working with some of the world's most influential players, he has been instrumental in opening up audiences in the UK and elsewhere to countless rhythms and. '1000 Watts' continues a thread of releases as adventurous as they are classic. Quantic's Tropical Elevation World Tour will be between March and July 2016.

This edition of 'The Thrash of Naked Limbs' is presented on 12" vinyl and features the original cover artwork created by Aaron Stainthorpe of the band. My Dying Bride are undisputed legends of the UK metal and doom scenes, having existed for over 25 years, with a consistent string of releases - both as originators and innovators helping to shape the extreme metal scene since the early 90's, culminating in tours with acts such as Iron Maiden and Dio. 'The Thrash of Naked Limbs' came amidst an intensely creative period for the band in their formative years. The EP arrived swiftly on the back of their debut album, 'As the Flower Withers', and helped solidify My Dying Bride's reputation as firm upcoming leaders of the UK gothic doom/death metal scene alongside countrymen Paradise Lost. With the ongoing use of violin to assist with the unique atmosphere created by My Dying Bride, the title track itself is a creeping doom epic of haunting beauty and savagery in equal measure - a revered motif of the band. The EP also contains the additional songs, 'Le Cerf Malade' and 'Gather Me Up Forever'. 'The Thrash of Naked Limbs' was recorded at the band's long time haunt, Academy Studios, known for its own involvement with groundbreaking UK doom releases for years, and was engineered by Mags, who remains a close production associate of the band to this day. My Dying Bride had recently returned to Academy for the recording of their 2015 opus, 'Feel the Misery'.

Produced by her longtime friend and collaborator David Torn, who arranged all the songs, and backed by The Bad Plus jazz trio, it redefines her as an artist while maintaining the wonderful open qualities her fans love. ‘I Love You Always Forever' (from the multiple-platinum selling Now In A Minute) was such a huge hit for Donna Lewis - a #1 chart hit / dance-pop classic for which people around the globe still have boundless affection - the 1996 song will always be the one for which many fans know her. However the conservatory-trained daughter of a jazz pianist has since forged her place in the pop world, through styles as diverse as art pop, singer/songwriter folk, traditional jazz, and classical. While Lewis' last album, 2008's ‘In the Pink’, was heavily electronic, ‘Brand New Day’ explores a much more stripped-down acoustic sound. Tour Dates 2016: Lewis has toured often in a duo setting, accompanying herself on piano with a bassist at her side. Here, however, she pares down her focus even further by handling only the 12th Jun - The Convent Club, vocals, leaving all instrumental duties with the capable trio featuring pianist Ethan Iverson, Gloucester bassist Reid Anderson, and drummer Dave King (AKA The Bad Plus), who are perfectly 13th Jun - The Apex, Bury St. Edmonds suited to back Lewis on this project. 14th Jun - Manchester Area Theatre 15th Jun - Swansea Jazz Festival Along with three originals (the languid 'Sleep', the title track 'Brand New Day' and a 16-17th Jun - Pheasantry, London ruminative reworking of 'I Love You Always Forever'), Lewis and her trio delve into a 23rd-24th Jun - Glasgow Jazz Festival handful of inspired cover songs that cross stylistic boundaries from the fantastical latterDavid Bowie number 'Bring Me the Head of the Disco King', to Fred Neil's 'Everybody's Talkin' at Me', to Damien Rice's 'Amie'. What's particularly invigorating here is how untethered Iverson, Anderson and King perform. As a trio, they interact clearly, fluidly and adventurously on Brand New Day even as they supply Lewis the generous framework she deserves as a vocalist. And then there's Lewis herself, with her cherubic, fuzzy coo of a voice. She digs into these songs with care and expertise, drawing out her phrases and enveloping a tune in multiple layers of meaning.

For vinyl fans, the first pressing is being issued on three color ways: black, clear, and red. Both sides are spun at 45 RPM for maximum fidelity. The release is semi-dual-reissue in nature, as Integrity's contribution is a retooled, remixed rendering of their 2010 Magic Bullet Records 7" VVe Are the End. The Power Trip material culls the two original tracks from their Self-Titled 7" on Lockin' Out Records, originally released in 2011. Previously unheard or released prior, Integrity also contributes "Her Eyes is Filled with Stars," their unique cover of the bizarre song that Howdy (Crispin Glover) serenades Stephanie (Jenny Wright) with in the 1989 film Twister. The cover song is exclusive to this split across all formats. Brand new artwork and layouts by Integrity's Dwid Hellion draws further cohesion between the bands on this one, as both physical formats feature a "co-headliner" visual presentation and a foldout poster containing all lyrics, credits, and additional original artwork. Tracks: Integrity - VVe Are The End / Integrity - Beneath Black Flames Vve Ride / Ntegrity Her Eyes Is Filled With Stars / Power Trip - Divine Apprehension / Power Trip - Suffer No Fool Rlyr - Delayer MBL1931PMI 856645003612 £11.99 LP IMPORT EXCLUSIVE ROCK Magic Bullet Records releases Delayer, the debut album from Chicago's RLYR (pronounced "relayer"), to be released June 17. The trio boasts a lineup comprised of some of the most esteemed members of the city's experimental rock community: Steven Hess (also of Locrian, Cleared, etc.), Colin DeKuiper (also of Bloodiest, Lasers and Fast and Shit, formerly Russian Circles), and Trevor Shelley de Brauw (also of Pelican, Chord, Let's Pet). Existing at some hypnotic cross-section of guitar-forward indie, noise, punk, prog, and postpunk, the band represents some of the most energized music in each player's storied career. Spanning four songs in 42 minutes, Delayer is epic in scope, but pointedly direct in its approach, recalling the charged anthemics of mid '80s SST via the explosive catharsis of post-hardcore. Renowned for their energized performances, the band has become a staple of the live music scene, providing support for Coliseum, Deafheaven, The Twilight Sad, Holy Sons, Six Organs of Admittance, Greys, and many more. The band will head out on a brief tour in support of the album, including shows with kindred spirits United Nations, The Armed, Cloakroom, and many more.

This popular Klaus Schulze product is upgraded with a generous bonus. Stylish CD digipack in attractive original design. Klaus Schulze about "Blackdance": "Blackdance" was my first album to be released in England on Caroline, a Virgin label. Before that [Virgin boss] Richard Branson had signed Tangerine Dream, and then he also contacted me. Of course, I said yes right away. Not just because Branson liked music from Germany but also since Virgin was at the time - apart from Island Records - the prestigious English record company. Nevertheless, joining Virgin was a giant step forward for me. The fact that I was now on an English label resulted in quite a different reception by the press. Furthermore, it was a worldwide deal which meant that all my records from "Blackdance" on would also be available in France, the US and Japan. For "Voices of Syn" (the longest piece on "Blackdance"), I used the voice of Ernst Walter Siemon. He was an opera singer who had rehearsed at the studio in Berlin where we had recorded the first Tangerine Dream record "Electronic Meditation" [1970]. He did a little collage for me that consisted of Verdi and a few other composers. I recorded it on my Revox tape machine and used it for this intro a few years later. I played the 12-string guitar on "Blackdance" myself, as well as Congas and Tabla. In retrospect I have to say however that I should have left the guitar out. At the time, I had been in New York and I bought a Martin 12-string at Manny's Music Store because it sounded so unbelievably wonderful. I thought I definitely had to use that sound in a song somewhere but after I had completed "Blackdance" I found this thing with the guitar and congas and tablas not that great anymore. It sounded too much like folk to me. On the other hand many people have told me that it was actually this sound which drew their attention to my music. I can't quite exactly remember the details of the bonus tracks. I think they originated at the The Manor Studio, owned by Virgin, back in 1975 where I produced the Far East Family Band [with Masanori Takahashi aka Kitaro] and it was possibly during a break when the guys were asleep. There are an incredible amount of tapes which I have filled with music, which are temporarily stored until Klaus Dieter Müller digs them out again.

Tour Dates 2016 (Ralph McTell): 03rd Jun - Wirral Folk Festival 24th Jun – St Georges Festival, Beckenham 30th Jul – Ballyshannon Festival 13th Aug – Cropredy Festival One of the great storytellers, Ralph McTell, is now celebrating almost 50 years on the road. Known for his virtuoso guitar style, he is primarily a prolific and gifted songwriter. With a style that invites you into a unique world, he weaves a narrative that is both significant and poignant. In 2002 he was presented with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Ralph McTell, whose ‘Streets of London’ is sadly as topical today as when it was written almost fifty years ago, remembers Wizz in 1961, ‘already a legend’. It was Wizz who suggested the younger man change his name to McTell, in honour of Blind Willie McTell. It was Ralph who persuaded Wizz to splash out on the Epiphone dreadnought-style guitar he plays to this day. Wizz learned from the masters. He was taught banjo by Peggy Seeger and Ralph Rinzler , and grew up playing guitar with Davey Graham and Long John Baldry. In the great tradition of blues and folk, he shared what he’d learned with guys many of whom went on to be more famous and much richer than he. His first solo album was Wizz Jones in 1969. Up to 1988, ten solo albums followed and he played on Ralph McTell's single "Easy" in 1974. Steve Tilston was also guided by Jones, through the early stages of his career. Jones was once described as having 'a right hand worthy of Broonzy'.

As a Finnish female blues guitarist and bandleader, Tina is one of the very few. After bringing up her family, she returned to her true love: rhythm and blues. Her passionate vocal and guitar styles derive from the blues giants like T-Bone Walker, Big Mama Thornton, Memphis Minnie, and countless others, carefully studied by Tina. She has been playing guitar and singing her guts out for over 30 years now, so she knows her stuff. The Cocktailers are an experienced bunch of players that have been on the rocky road of roots music for quite some time. Honey Aaltonen (drums) and Long John Rantapuro (upright bass) are old bandmates from Tortilla Flat, a band that has been on the scene since 1980s, and Ville "Tri" (Doc) Tolvanen (piano) leads his own band called Rootsinkeksijät, among other engagements.

Released on the independent Urania label in November 1958, it featured Cook performing a song cycle of Dorothy Parker poems and verses set to music by opera and chamber music composer Seymour Barab. The unique album was described in Billboard magazine as featuring "numbers that vary from satirical to tender". The release continues Stage Door's Collector's Series, a line of limited edition CD products presented in the retro style of a miniature long-playing record (in a slim cardboard sleeve). All Collector's Series titles are limited to 500 units. A legend of Broadway and the American theatre, Tony Award winning actress Barbara Cook's career has spanned seven decades. Originating roles in such classic Broadway musicals as 'The Music Man', 'She Loves Me' and 'Candide', Cook's performances and clear soprano voice have enthralled critics and audiences alike. 'Songs Of Perfect Propriety' holds the distinction of being the first published song cycle which set various light verses by Dorothy Parker from ‘The Portable Dorothy Parker’. Because it was uncustomary for feministic literature to be set to music by male or female composers in the first half of the twentieth century, 'Songs of Perfect Propriety' is deemed as a highly significant work for singers of the modern art song repertoire. Seymour Barab's decision to set Parker's verse to music was almost unprecedented. Barab's music parallels with the humour with which Parker was able to convey the truth, followed by brilliant punch lines expertly executed by Barbara Cook on this recording.

Both a joyous act of communion and a solemn farewell, Beginning of a Memory is a celebration of life, community and family expressed with the virtuosic wit and embracing humor that has made Matt Wilson so beloved in the jazz community.

Fifty years ago, as a guest with John Coltrane’s group, Jack DeJohnette played with the fathers of Ravi Coltrane and Matthew Garrison, and the programme of 'In Movement' opens with Coltrane’s harrowing and still pertinent elegy “Alabama”. Other covers include the classic “Blue In Green” by Miles Davis and Bill Evans (Jack is one of the few musicians to have played in the bands of both men) and “Serpentine Fire”, from the songbook of Earth, Wind and Fire, a tribute to Maurice White – who also collaborated with Jack in the early years. Recorded at New York’s Avatar Studios in October 2015, and produced by Manfred Eicher. "Jack DeJohnette's decisive energies and musicality make him, at 73, one of the marvels of contemporary jazz... whoopingly uninhibited." - The Guardian "US drummer Jack DeJohnette's trio reconfigure recent jazz history into a rich, forwardlooking, spiritual aesthetic. Here powerhouse rhythms alternate with perfectly placed cymbals and crunchy electronica with sparse piano from DeJohnette." - Financial Times Personnel: Jack DeJohnette (drums, piano, electronic percussion), Ravi Coltrane (tenor, soprano and sopranino saxophones), Matthew Garrison (electric bass, electronics) Promotion: includes advertising in Jazzwise & Jazz Journal.

He has written about facing adversity in “Down But Not Out” and the act of breaking free from perceived limitations in “Escape Velocity”. The remaining tracks, ‘A Matter of Instinct’ that features Edwards on electric piano, “Groove Swing Funk” and “The Runaround”, explore the trio’s signature mix of soul, Latin and straight ahead jazz. “So much of music is about instincts. I’ve faithfully followed my own instinctive musical voice when devising each track presented on this album” explains Peter. Personnel: Peter Edwards (piano, electric piano), Max Luthert on bass and Moses Boyd on drums “Edwards’ energetic playing - full of emphatic chording, Latin grooves and romantic, cinematic themes - at times invokes Ahmad Jamal or McCoy Tyner.” - The Guardian Press: Reviews/features published on All About Jazz, Marlbank BBC Radio 2 - Jamie Cullum, Live session broadcast from Maida Vale, also received airplay on BBC Radio 3 (Jazz Line Up) + Jazz Standard Tracks: Samba City / Loved Ones / Groove Swing Funk / The Runaround / A Matter of Instinct / Flying High / Down But Not Out / Escape Velocity Scott Kinsey - Near Life Experience ABLX053 700261437828 CD £8.49 ABSTRACT LOGIX JAZZ Considered by many to be Tribal Tech's secret weapon, Scott either penned or cowrote nine out of the twelve tunes on the record. Near Life Experience features a terrific version of Marvin Gaye's Inner City Blues featuring Jason Joseph on vocals as well as the amazing Lalah Hathaway who contributes some incredible wordless vocal improvising on Siya, an element of her artistry seldom heard. The terrific 12 track album features a long list of A-Listers who bring their best to the game; Michael Landau, Kirk Fletcher on guitar, Gary Novak, Danny Carey, Kirk Covington, Gergo Borlai, Karim Ziad on the drums, long time collaborator Matthew Garrison, Jimmy Earl, and Hadrein Feraud on bass along with Arto Tuncoboyacian among others on percussion. While Scott certainly pays homage to his friend and guru Joe Zawinul in moments, he more importantly carves out his own unique and definitive voice like never before, as highlighted on the explosive title track on the album.

The New York Times has called his work 'gestural and philosophical', and his prior release, Alloy 'elegant and shadowy'. Not just known for his impossibly virtuosic technique and his mind boggling ability to effortlessly master even the most difficult written scores, he is also one of a rare breed of jazz musicians who is pursuing composition as seriously as his playing. He is currently working towards his doctorate in composition from Columbia University, which he is expected to receive in 2017. The Inner Spectrum of Variables is an extended composition that draws from Sorey's wideranging musical influences, including the work of improviser-composers Butch Morris, Harold Budd, and Anthony Braxton, as well as Ethiopian modal jazz, klezmer, and Western art music traditions. Structurally it involves multiple harmonic, formal, rhythmic, and modal vocabularies all supported by an exploratory framework. The result is a far reaching and intensely beautiful work that daringly blurs the boundaries between composition and improvisation.

All songs are arranged by eight international arrangers to cast them in an entirely new mould. Performed by the Grammy winning Metropole Orkest with jazz pianist Mike del Ferro and vocalist Claron McFadden. Mike del Ferro is an internationally renowned, enormously versatile pianist. With appearances so far in 116 countries throughout the world, his performances vary from solo recitals to crossovers with traditional music, the latter taking him all over the world. He is the son of opera singer Len del Ferro (1921-1992) who worked with many international stars including Maria Callas and Leonard Bernstein. Claron McFadden was born in the United States but has lived in the Netherlands for many years. With her highly distinctive voice she moves effortlessly between classical music, improvisation and jazz. Claron has built up an impressive reputation as a concert singer of both traditional and modern repertoire. She has performed with many leading orchestras and appeared in productions of major opera houses such the Royal Opera in Covent Garden, De Nederlandse Opera and the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.

The album showcases Lage's growth as a leader and songwriter, and further solidifies his status as a premier guitar virtuoso. The pace he sets is brisk, the mood often upbeat, the playing so quick-witted and offhandedly dazzling that one is compelled to immediately press "repeat," especially when tracks like "Persian Rug" and "Activate" whiz by in under two and a half minutes. For a thoughtful artist like Lage, who will research and ruminate on a project long before he sets foot in a studio, this was a liberating experience, plugging in and playing with a kind of abandon. Though up to now Lage has largely recorded and performed original material, he wanted to explore his interpretive skills on 'Arclight', concentrating on music from the early to mid-20th century, "jazz before be-bop." Including Spike Hughes' "Nocturne", W.C. Handy's "Harlem Blues," a Gus Kahn-Neil Moret piano roll number. The rest of the album consists of originals, which, notes Lage, "celebrate the other period I'm obsessed with, the Keith Jarrett American quartet period, an improvisational jazz era that had such a rich connection to songs and to folk music. This was the concept for the album." Personnel: Julian Lage (guitar), Scott Colley (bass), Kenny Wollesen (drums, percussion) “(4 stars) The mood veers from tender to raucous, with echoes of Bill Frisell and particularly Jim Hall." - The Irish Times Tracks: Fortune Teller / Persian Rug / Nocturne / Supera / Stop Go Rant / Activate / Presley / Prospero / I'll Be Seeing You / Harlem Blues / Ryland Johnny Hunter Quartet - While We Still Can £7.99 FP024 JAZZ 5070000037158 CD EFPI RECORDS Manchester-based drummer and composer Johnny Hunter formed his quartet in 2011, handpicking Ben Watte (tenor saxophone), Graham South (trumpet) and Stewart Wilson (bass) from Manchester's burgeoning contemporary jazz scene to collectively explore the possibilities and challenges afforded by the absence of a harmony instrument. Comprising largely of single takes recorded in one Stockport summer afternoon, 'While We Still Can' is a wonderful reflection of this group's collective understanding and sensitivity. These are intelligent, thoughtful compositions that inspire improvisations and ensemble performances of the highest calibre from every member of the quartet. Tour Dates 2016: 25th Jun - Kings Place, London 25th Jul - Manchester Jazz Festival Hunter is increasingly in demand - aside from a leading a number of his own projects, he can be seen performing with Nat Birchall, Adam Fairhall, Cath Roberts' Sloth Racket, Mick Beck, Martin Archer, Blind Monk Trio and older brother Anton Hunter's trio and Article XI. Comfortable in a huge range of settings, he was featured in The Wire magazine's extensive piece on Manchester's "new improv underground".

The idea behind the album began with a musical and human relationship established and developed throughout the years in the context of the International Association of Schools of Jazz network, where David Liebman is the Artistic Director.

Jim Black - Woodclock £7.99 CRACK0056 9120016850602 CD CRACKED ANEGG RECORD JAZZ Gina Schwarz has never even thought about resting on the laurels she garnered in the international press for her album "Jazzista" (2013, Unit Records). "Jazzista" catapulted her name recognition well beyond Vienna's jazz scene and at the same time established her as a world-class bassist and band leader. But rather than falling back on her proven formula for success, Gina Schwarz has boldly decided against reusing the same blueprint: her latest band project, "Gina Schwarz Unit feat. Jim Black" solidifies her reputation as a live-cell therapy for jazz. And not just because "Woodclock" refuses to be relegated to any stylistic cubbyhole and doesn't give a damn about musical conventions. "Woodclock" is a textbook example of the harmonious fusion of apparent opposites - clever and free, soft and loud, contemplative and uninhibited, organic and inorganic. Gina Schwarz's multifaceted playing melds with the unmistakable drumming of New Yorker Jim Black, resulting in an indivisible unity, which in turn lays the pulsing foundation for a band that goes about making music for the long haul, with inspiration, technically delicately, and with energy to spare - "Woodclock" grooves, rocks, and swings like the devil!

Banda Black Rio were formed in 1976 by the late Oberdan Magalhães in Rio de Janeiro.

'Maria Fumaca' is the groups first album, originally released by Atlantic in 1977 and a record that bought the group worldwide fame. The title track is a real stand-out for us and a long term firm favourite.

These words might also be used to describe the hype around singing in local dialects currently sweeping the Austrian music scene — in Vienna, Die Strottern are partly responsible for shaping this trend. For many years they have been searching out fresh topics for and contemporary ways to express Viennese song. Made in cooperation with JazzWerkstatt Wien, their 2009 CD "Elegant" was the first to expand the format. A rhythm section, winds, electric guitar and piano transform the Viennese singing duo into a small big band. From a musical standpoint, boundaries are being crossed. Everyone involved has taken a step away from their ancestral bailiwicks, but without giving up their essence. Peter Ahorner, arguably the most important and most prolific author of new Viennese songs, lends his poetic texts to the effort. In 2014 Die Stottern and JazzWerkstatt Wien jointly set lyrics by Ahorn to music for the Glatt & Verkehrt Music Festival; the resulting songs can be heard on this CD. With their Josef Mayer-Limberg Suite, Die Strottern and JazzWerkstatt Wien have created a monument to an "Old Master" of poetry in the Viennese dialect and, musically, have stretched a grand arc from old-time, Dixieland-style jazz and laid-back reggae feeling to improvisations in the free jazz style.

He invited Ad van Meurs, Ankie Keultjes, Haytham Safia, Anne-Maarten van Heuvelen and Osama Meleegi to experiment with the combination of American folk blues and Arabic music. In 2005 the band put out their first album Farewell Shalabiye. After raving reviews, five albums followed; Ya Dunya (2007), Lumen (2009), Hela Hela (2010), the double album Kind of NO blues (2013) and Oh Yeah Habibi (2015).
