Ten years. Ten years of listening, searching, digging, sharing. Ten years of putting out records we felt mattered—because they told a story. Of a place, a moment, an impulse. Ten years of believing that music, especially the kind that doesn’t fit into any box, deserves more than just attention: it deserves care, time, and deep listening.

A quick recap on Louise Farrenc: she started to learn piano aged six, studying with Hummel and Moscheles, two great Romantic piano virtuosi. It was Anton Reicha who taught her composition, though. and provatey as females could not at that time enter the Paris Conservatoire to study composition.

This recording marks an important addition to the discography of Grażyna Bacewicz, a composer whose growing recognition stems from the exceptional quality of her music and its direct resonance with listeners. The String Quartet No. 4 (1951) and Piano Quintet No. 1 (1952) embody these qualities, offering a clear testimony to such qualities and an ideal path to approach Bacewicz’s distinctive voice. The performances are no less than idiomatic, delivered with conviction and freshness by a young, leading Polish-Belgian string quartet: the inspiring enthusiasm conveyed by the members of the Karski Quartet has a communicative drive that inevitably infects the listener.

In August 2022, Joe Henry, a seasoned but unconventional songwriter, taught at a Nashville songwriting camp, feeling out of place among more commercially successful instructors. On the first night, he met fellow instructor Mike Reid—former NFL star and acclaimed songwriter. Despite Henry’s initial awe, Reid immediately engaged him in a heartfelt conversation about poetry, sparking a deep connection. Months later, inspired by a rhyming couplet, Henry reached out to Reid with a note suggesting they write together. Reid’s enthusiastic reply—“Let’s push off the dock and into the fog and see what we find”—led to an unexpected and organic collaboration. Henry sent lyrics; Reid responded with fully formed recordings. This seamless exchange repeated, producing a body of songs that felt inevitable and deeply shared, as if accessing something beyond either man’s individual reach.

Thereupon is the long-anticipated return of the jazz supergroup Fieldwork, which has been described by NPR as a "power trio for the new century." They are a long-standing collective of three celebrated innovators of contemporary music: alto saxophonist Steve Lehman, pianist Vijay Iyer, and drummer Tyshawn Sorey. Since their last release - Door in 2008 - all three musicians have climbed to the pinnacle of the jazz and improvised music scene, receiving universal critical acclaim and top awards such as MacArthur Fellowships and a Pulitzer Prize and have each individually helped reshape the language of creative music over the last two decades. As a group, they continue to explode the possibilities of collective improvisation. Fieldwork's music reflects the sum part of jazz, modern composition, African and South Asian music, underground hip-hop, electronica, and the influential music of Chicago's AACM, all funneled through a collective ethos. Their musical imagination is far ranging, with rigor, daring, and a unique aesthetic palette. Together they conjure a dense, visceral musical world, tightly unified and high-impact, with a mysterious inner logic. The performances on Thereupon captures their state-of-the art interplay; they listen deeply, responding to one another with a rare intensity that blurs the lines between composition and improvisation. With this new chapter, Fieldwork reaffirm their role as one of the era's most vital experimental units.
