The Dutch fusion band here took a more accessible way to produce easier tracks, still having some lead vocals. The saxes, keyboards, bass and drums are well balanced, and it sounds melodic, joyful, fresh and good…

Released in 1976, Jeff Beck's Wired contains some of the best jazz-rock fusion of the period. Wired is generally more muscular, albeit less-unique than its predecessor, Blow by Blow. Joining keyboardist Max Middleton, drummer Richard Bailey, and producer George Martin from the Blow by Blow sessions are drummer Narada Michael Walden, bassist Wilbur Bascomb, and keyboardist Jan Hammer…

The concept behind Jazz Is Dead 001 is to pair contemporary producers Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad with a series of revered jazz musicians, in a bid to create fresh tracks that employ the same original vintage recording equipment the ensemble cast used back in the ’60s and ’70s.

GARN these are the threads Meier, Stucki, Mueller, Steiner and Müller. What a crazy texture! Yarn! If you listen to the individual thread fabrication of Garn, you are amazed at the weave and weave, the colour nuances and the diversity that each individual of the band Garn brings to this formation. The weave of the band Garn guarantees a surprising thread live with every musical weave presented. Musically, anything is possible in this band. There is loose and relaxed weaving, musical threads are picked up and mixed, outrageous what Garn allows themselves.

By this point, Vannelli has pared away the often-bizarre edges of his sound and became more mainstream. That's not a bad thing. This album's predecessor, A Pauper in Paradise, seemed to blow up his pretensions to skyscraper size with only the melodic and gorgeous "The Surest Things Can Change" coming out unscathed…

After more than 15 productions for SKIP, does Omar Sosa still have surprises in store? He does, and how! This time in a newly found format where the performing presented on two concert grands brings him on an equal footing with one of the most talented pianists on the jazz scene, the Cuban virtuoso Marialy Pacheco.

GleAM Records is proud to announce the release of Everyday Life, the debut album of Italian guitarist and composer Edoardo Liberati and his project Synthetics.

While the global pandemic has been a challenging time in-particular for artists around the world, it has afforded new opportunities for creativity. If art imitates life, then our Feature Album this week on ABC Jazz certainly lives up to that age-old philosophy. Stuck at home during lockdowns in the UK, saxophonist Trish Clowes turned her home into both a studio and a performance space.

Based on their first four works (Deus Ex Machina, Dark Wave, Broken Land, IH x Moondog), with "Polar Star" the big band presents another real suite, just as David Haudrechy likes to compose his works.

Palm Unit (whose name comes from the Palm label created by Jef Gilson). The core group is made up of saxophonist Lionel Martin, keyboardist Fred Escoffier, with whom they dynamited ethio-jazz in Ukandanz, and drummer Philippe Pipon Garcia, particularly recognized with Erik Truffaz (who previously played in Land then Cosmic Connexion with Fred Escoffier). For the Figures album, drummer Jean Joly joined the band on bass.

"We're a bunch of outsiders who refused to be kept out," says High Pulp drummer Bobby Granfelt. "We've never had an academic approach to jazz-most of us grew up playing in DIY bands-so it was the rawness and the energy and the absolute freedom of the music that called to us in the first place." Indeed, there's something defiant, something utterly liberating about High Pulp's remarkable ANTI- Records debut, Pursuit of Ends. Drawing on punk rock, shoegaze, hip-hop, and electronic music, the band's brand of experimental jazz is both vintage and futuristic all at once, hinting at times to everything from Miles Davis and Duke Ellington to Aphex Twin and My Bloody Valentine.

Modern jazz & world music in fusion with the Balkan tradition and African rhythms are fitted into this group that offers extraordinary audio-visual experience…

The acronym that gives name to the PLS. trio is from the very gifted young Italian pianist/composer Pier Luigi Salami. Together with his American rhythm section, consisting of bassist Martin Fowler and drummer Shawn Crowder, the New York based trio have released an enormously winning debut with East River…
