PRISM, Vol. 3 continues saxophonist Jess Gillam’s acclaimed series with the Jess Gillam Ensemble, showcasing her trademark blend of radiant energy, expressive depth, and genre-defying curiosity. Released on Decca Music Group Ltd., the album weaves together works spanning classical, minimalism, and contemporary soundscapes — from pulse-driven rhythmic explorations to moments of lyrical stillness. Gillam’s bold artistry and the ensemble’s dynamic interplay illuminate each piece with warmth and vitality, creating a seamless arc that celebrates connection and emotion through sound. PRISM, Vol. 3 is both a reflection and a revelation — an exhilarating close to a trilogy that redefines what modern chamber music can be.

Ancestral marks a profound metamorphosis for master saxophonist John O’Gallagher. He cast off his old skin, fundamentally altering his studies, homeland, and life, thereby charting a new future. Recorded at Sound on Sound Studios in Montclair, New Jersey, in January 2024, Ancestral was influenced, in part, by O’Gallagher’s PhD studies into the music of John Coltrane, and reunites the versatile reeds player with guitarist Ben Monder while, notably, featuring the first-ever recorded collaboration between master drummers Andrew Cyrille and Billy Hart.

“Should [imaginative art] not come from the heart as well as the brain?” Samuel Coleridge‐Taylor, 1911. This poignant question—posed by Coleridge‐Taylor just months before his death— encapsulates the emotional core of Sabi Ensemble’s debut album, From The Heart. The SABI ENSEMBLE, founded in 2024 by historical bassist Carina Cosgrave, is committed to reviving works by composers whose work has been unjustly forgotten and placing this music from the margins centre stage.

Some albums announce themselves slowly, like clouds taking shape before your eyes. Skyways is one of them, a record that drifts in gently, unfolds at its own pace, and leaves behind the quiet wonder of hearing something beautiful form and fade in real time.

Distance has an uncanny ability to clarify feelings. It can offer an invigorating reset, reaffirming your capacity for love and renewing your sense of self. But if you surrender to its wisdom, you may not always like what it reveals. For Joyer, the east coast indie rock duo of brothers Nick and Shane Sullivan, distance has been a strange throughline as of late—distance from home, distance from each other, distance from a stable routine. Their latest LP, On the Other End of the Line…, ruminates on how stints in far-reaching places have affected them, uncovering anxieties and a burning desire for connection. But ultimately, it’s a hopeful reflection of two distinct perspectives on fluctuating backdrops and the pressures of creativity, filtered through hook-y earnestness and crunchy six-string bluster.

When we launched Spring Revisited in March, an incredible collaboration between Acid Jazz, Ace Records and Cosmos Music, we could only dream of the reaction it would receive. We started off with Dmitri From Paris’ mix of Millie Jackson’s ‘We Got To Hit It Off’, gaining universal acclaim from DJs, a Number 1 in the UK 12” singles chart, and the ‘Record of 2025’ at ‘We Out There’ festival: a veritable summer anthem. It sold out on both 12” and 7” vinyl, so it is only right that it opens up the Spring Revisited album. But the series is so much more than that. The mixes that followed from the likes of Kenny Dope, Dave Lee, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell, DJ Spinna, Opolopo, show how much the music of Spring means to such this dancefloor royalty. Claussell’s reworking of The Fatback Band’s ‘Snake’ gave us another 12” Number 1, and all in the week that the group played a triumphant show at London’s KOKO.

José Menese was considered one of the most important singers of the late 20th century and early 21st century, obtaining many prizes and distinctions along his professional career. José Menese Scott was born in La Puebla de Cazalla (Sevilla), but was in Madrid where José Menese made his first contact with the flamenco world and after passing through some difficulties, he debuts at tablao Zambra, the most prestigious in Madrid. There he sang every night during more than three years, and had the opportunity to know artists such as Perico el del Lunar, Rafael Romero, Pericón de Cádiz, Juan Varea, Rosa Durán, among others, all of them great professionals. His first record was released in 1963, in collaboration with the incomparable guitarist Melchor de Marchena.

The guitar has established itself as a national instrument in Latin American countries. Its sonorities can be considered a miniature orchestra, but two guitars can generate an even greater range of possibilities. Each composer in this widely contrasting programme explores these qualities to the full, with elements such as the South American rhythms in Marlos Nobre’s Três Danças Brasileiras, and Guido Santórsola’s blending of Baroque form with a Romantic aesthetic in his Suite all’antica. The works by Ohlsen, Coloma Casaula and Novoa were all specially composed for the Orlandini & Luco Duo.

As a resourceful sound alchemist and idiosyncratic sound architect with multi-layered and often floating guitar sounds that can pile up into a wall of sound, Swiss guitarist Dave Gisler enlivens contemporary jazz. Since 2017, he has been working continuously with his congenial trio partners Raffaele Bossard and Lionel Friedli.

Ela saiu do palco empolgadíssima”, detalhou Preto, também diretor do espetáculo.
