Comet, Come To Me MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO

Mercurial and masterful, Meshell Ndegeocello has survived the best and worst of what a career in music has to offer. She has eschewed genre for originality, celebrity for longevity, and musicals trends for musical truths. She has lived through the boom and bust of the industry and emerged just as she entered - unequivocally herself. Fans have come to expect the unexpected from Meshell, and faithfully followed her on sojourns into soul, spoken word, R&B, jazz, hip-hop, rock, all bound by a lyrical, spiritual search for love, justice, respect, resolution, and happiness.

Groove driven, infectiously melodic and lyrically meditative, Meshell’s latest album, Comet, Come To Me, finds her returning to the same well of creativity that launched her career. Her 11th release, it is possibly a culmination of all previous work: lush, vocal, seeking, wise, collaborative, and driven by the signature bounce and precise pocket of Ndegeocello on bass. The album features special guests Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and Doyle Bramhall, along with long-time collaborators Christopher Bruce (guitar) and Jebin Bruni (keys), and Earl Harvin on drums. Assured of her place as an authentic musical thinker and an uncompromising artist, Comet continues to discover, examine, and Label: NAÏVE explore all that music has to offer her and how she can return the gift.

Live HAZMAT MODINE

Released to coincide with the band's summer jaunt around Europe - which includes appearances at both Cambridge Folk Festival and Womad - the uncategorisable New Yorkers return with a selection of hazardous material culled from live recordings made in Germany, Switzerland, USA and Canada, including a splendid version of Baby Please Don't Go with guest throat-singing from Huun Huur Tu.

Hazmat Modine is a band in perpetual motion.To them, timelessness, innovation and inclusiveness trump the trendy and the ephemeral. The very definition of honest-to-goodness American roots music – but also considerably more global and exotic – Hazmat Modine is visually and aurally captivating, continually exploratory, and thoroughly engaging.

The Son of a Bluesman LUCKY PETERSON

A native of Buffalo in the state of New York, this singer, guitarist and organ player is one of the most authentic legatees of blues today; he knows of its forefathers and their oral tradition, respects its history and its legacy and knows how to play and sing it like nobody else, with his booming voice brimming with emotion. Mixing original compositions and inspired covers (of Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland, Wilson Pickett and even Johnny Nash), he brings us an album on which poetry, dark thoughts and hope combine with an insuppressible groove.With these eleven tracks forged in a furnace of fiery soul and rhythm ‘n’ blues, giving off the odd spark of gospel and rock ‘n’ roll, Lucky Peterson isn’t just making his big comeback. He’s putting blues, the oldest form of black American music, back on the forefront of the stage.

Songs to the North Sky TIM GARLAND

Songs to the North Sky is the remarkable and bold new work by Tim Garland. The first half of this double album features Lighthouse, Garland’s expandable small group celebrating a new chapter to mark its tenth year. Garland and the astonishing percussion of Asaf Sirkis are joined here by three of the most talented pianists working in jazz today: Jason Rebello, Geoffrey Keezer and John Turville. Bassist Kevin Glasgow and guitarist Ant Law are newcomers to the Lighthouse project, but typically, Garland has devised perfect spaces in which their two singular talents can flourish. Garland himself has rarely played with such exhilarating freedom.

Songs to the North Sky, for orchestral strings, both jazz and classical percussion, and Garland as soloist, takes up the other half of this recording. It reflects Garland’s ten years association with (and frequent displacement from) northeast England, its constantly changing cloudscapes and wild seas.

In its instrumental virtuosity and compositional sophistication, Songs to the North Sky is the closest thing yet we have to Label: Edition Records the Full Garland. This will delight existing fans, and serve as an ideal primer for those yet to be acquainted with one of File Under: Jazz the most remarkable British musicians of his generation.

The New Tradition Duo Art ADAM BALDYCH & YARON HERMAN

The exciting young Polish violinist and the Paris-based Israeli pianist met at an ACT event (the Jazz at the Philharmonic II project, also released this month). The chemistry was right from the outset. Two big musician personalities had found each other, and they simply had to continue on the same path from that moment on, a path called "The New Tradition": an expedition that cuts a new trail leading off from the beaten track. With total mutual trust, Baldych and Herman set new standards in contemporary jazz. Seldom has a more intense and natural collaboration been heard. Not in a struggle for supremacy, but instead masterfully and highly emotional, full of depth and soul, Baldych and Herman simply make music. And in doing so they prove that you don't need big ensembles to create magic moments.

Play Sidney Bechet - Petite Fleur CHRISTOF LAUER & NDR BIG BAND

German saxophonist Christof Lauer joins forces with the NDR Bigband for ‘Petite Fleur’, an album celebrating Sidney Bechet, one of the founding fathers of jazz. Bechet played the soprano saxophone like no other, and with his French-Creole-inspired compositions, he was a forerunner of jazz's openness to all musical styles.

Unmistakable Bechet classics appear in an entirely new light thanks to Lauer's distinctive tone and the multilayered arrangements. Though Lauer is best known as a tenor saxophonist, the album begins with the soprano saxophone, and Sidney Bechet's typical vibrato is replaced by Lauer's intense and expressive sound. "It wouldn't make any sense to copy Bechet," Lauer explains. "It's about finding out how it interacts with your own world, and what energy is borne of that."

Same Girl LP YOUN SUN NAH

180g VINYL EDITION WITH HD DOWNLOAD CODE

Korean singer Youn Sun Nah is a veritable super star in her homeland and in France; as evidence of her stature she was chosen to sing at the Closing Ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics. In the UK, with little fanfare, she has evolved into one of the best-selling artists on the ACT label alongside far better known names. Here is the first vinyl release of her second album (from 2010), Same Girl.

In Youn Sun Nah, someone with star quality has stepped onto the music scene, someone who is able to forge bridges in a truly unique way. The bridge between Asia and Europe for example, or between jazz, chanson and pop; between the highest technical precision and extreme musical freedom, between minimalism and exuberance and the bridge between the familiar and the unfamiliar.

Label: ACT Music With "Same Girl" Youn Sun Nah is still on a musical voyage, exploring and experimenting with different musical styles and genres. Again the song material is very diverse, but she is still the same girl the audience has come to know and File Under: Jazz love, surprising the listener with songs that have been interpreted in highly individual and distinctive ways, and which Catalogue No: ACT9024-1 break free from the usual stylistic constraints.

Intersecting Lines JERRY BERGONZI

The title says it all. “Intersecting Lines” is about the interplay between saxophonists Jerry Bergonzi and Dick Oatts. This is an old-school blowing session in the context of hard bop and bebop, and the focus is squarely on the two horns. Bass and drum solos are few and far between -- and brief. Bergonzi's style is influenced by the titans (Coltrane, Rollins) but clearly his own. His sound and his music are a study in contrasts, juxtaposing softness with strength, simplicity with complexity. Oatts is a perfect foil; both men take unexpected twists and turns in their solos, employing sudden moves and breakneck runs with razor-sharp articulation. Though Bergonzi plays tenor and Oatts alto, it's occasionally hard to tell who's playing which line when their solos overlap. In any case, the two consistently exhibit that brazen freshness and avian freedom that contribute to jazz being 'forever young,' cogently backed by bassist Dave Santoro and drummer Andrea Michelutti.

Bloom JD ALLEN

Every new recording by tenor saxophonist JD Allen serves to solidify his reputation as one of the finest, most adventurous young musicians playing today. With a gently swinging, very personal vibrato he weaves his way into territory that he has charted for himself. His unique sound on the tenor combines the elemental sadness of the blues, the solemnity of gospel and ultimately the elemental joy in the creative process. Allen plays in phrases that are somewhat short, but always interconnected. With pianist Orrin Evans, JD takes us on a intensely personal journey through an ever-changing landscape of jazz as he sees it with playing that earned Allen a blaze of critical attention signaling his ascension to the upper ranks of the contemporary jazz world.

Tales DIEGO BARBER & CRAIG TABORN

Originally from Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Barber spent many years studying classical guitar and composition throughout Europe. Having performed professionally in several classical settings (including his first place win at the Classical Guitar International Contest in 2004), he moved to New York City in 2007 to pursue further study of jazz. Barber’s intent has been to bridge the divide between the genres.

Craig Taborn hardly needs an introduction, as he has become one of the leading figures of the modern keyboard. His innate ability to adapt to any musical setting from jazz and fusion to contemporary experiments in improvisation and electronic music has made him a favorite of collaborators as diverse as Dave Holland, Chris Potter, Tim Berne, and Roscoe Mitchell. It was precisely this aspect of Taborn’s personality that drew Barber’s interest and appreciation.

Urban Novel KRISTIAN BORRING

Danish guitarist Kristian Borring has been described as a musician that has “a hyper-cool approach to jazz guitar” and hyper-cool is what this new album is…

For his debut album on Jellymould Kristian has written a collection of eight compositions inspired by the cityscape. Urban Novel is a personal homage to life in the metropolis – from the cool swinging opener of Hipster to the laid back feel of Arcade Coffee Shop to the intense, frantic vibe of Hidden Corners the album has a strong sense of melody throughout, set in a contemporary ‘soundscape’.

To realise these compositions Borring has assembled some of the UK’s most exciting jazz musicians. Jim Hart is fast gaining a reputation as one of the finest exponents of jazz vibraphone in the world with three of his own albums, projects with Stan Sulzmann, Alan Barnes, Paul Clarvis and Ivo Neame and being regularly called upon to tour with many visiting American musicians including Ralph Alessi, Joel Frahm, Jaleel Shaw, Terrel Stafford, Logan Richardson and Richie Label: JellyMould Barshay. Piano player Arthur Lea has been described as “a 21st century Thelonious Monk” and “a musical explorer”. As well as leading his own trio The Way That You Do It Arthur composes for Anglo/German quartet Paragon and plays for File Under: Jazz Seb Pipe’s Life Experience Quartet. Irish bass player Mick Coady is long-term bass man for Pete King. He released his Catalogue No: JM-JJ016 debut album last year (also on Jellymould) featuring American alto legend David Binney to much critical acclaim.

History Sugar Dream RUSCONI

Having played more than three hundred gigs since their formation in Zurich, Switzerland, RUSCONI has developed a near telepathic understanding of the dynamics that drives their individual muses. Mixing composition with improvisation, and electronic with analogue instruments, they have brought influences as disparate as Miles Davis, Pink Floyd, Can, Richard Strauss, Aphex Twin, Paul Bley, Sonic Youth and Nils Wogram to bear on a music that is nevertheless indisputably their own.

“History Sugar Dream” is a celebration of RUSCONI’s anniversary as a band. It is also an exploration of the three members’ memories of a time long before they came together to make music. “This album looks back to our childhood,” says the band. “A time when dreams and hopes, fantasy and illusion, were reality. A time of untrammeled playfulness and experimentation.” Deeply refreshing in its disregard for musical boundaries, “History Sugar Dream” offers a widescreen panoramic view of planet RUSCONI.

Knou MALOUMA

Hearing again the voice of Malouma Mint Meïdah, prestigious heiress of an artist family originating from the south-west of Mauritania, is a delight. This woman of convictions shook up the musical landscape of her country at the end of the 80’s, challenging conservatives and tackling social issues. Her perfect mastery of ancient vocal art as well as her taste for sounds coming from other horizons have made her an icon in her home country. She started as a songwriter for other artists before she sang reconciliation between communities and national unity in 1992. She finally rose to worldwide fame with her album Dunya (on the Marabi label).

Elected member of the Mauritanian Senate in 2007, she is now willing to separate politics from her artistic career. Strengthening her commitment towards Mauritanian culture, she created her own foundation. She is also involved in environmental issues, becoming a goodwill ambassadress of the World Conservation Union (IUCN).

Her fourth internationally released album Knou marks a sensational come back. All the compositions on Knou bear Label: Kamiyad Malouma’s mark and the diversity of her inspiration. From soul music to traditional songs, each track is a painting of new harmonies, revealing its nuances at each listening. Drawn up during three years, Knou asserts itself as an accomplished File Under: World music/Mauritania masterpiece. Catalogue No: KAM1401 Barcode: 3770003260042 Track listing: Price: FULL PRICE 1.

Tangos RUBÉN BLADES

An iconic figure throughout the Spanish-speaking world, Blades is a giant of Latin music, as well as acting in 40-odd films and serving as Minister of Tourism in Panama and standing (unsuccessfully) for President. For this new recording Blades sought a new musical path and created a fascinating partnership of some of his classic salsa compositions with Argentinean tango.

Blades’s interest in tango music led him to reach out to his long time friend and collaborator Carlos Franzetti, both of whom were intimately involved in the New York Latin jazz and salsa scenes of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Arranging Blades’s classic salsa material proved to be quite a difficult task. The two wanted to make sure they did justice to both the original salsa renditions and the tango tradition. The one thing that made the transition work especially well was that Blades’s lyrics were especially well suited for tango, as his message and stories could be reflected on any street in the barrios of Spanish Harlem or those of Buenos Aires.

Label: Sunnyside Ruben Blades has proven himself to be one of the greatest lyricists and songwriters of our time. The idea to frame his lyrics with the tremendous arrangements of Carlos Franzetti in the tango idiom only increases the drama of his poetry. File Under: World music/Panama Tangos will prove to cement the legacy of this master songwriter and the ability of his songs to transcend musical Catalogue No: SSC1383 borders.

Gipsy Burek Orkestar GIPSY BUREK ORKESTAR

An inspirational meeting of virtuoso musicians from Brittany and the Republic of Macedonia, blending the exuberant drive of a Balkan brass band with the fiery sounds of Breton folk music for an east-west European dance-fest, as heard at the Orkestar's Showcase at Womex 2013.

We've seen gypsy brass band clashes before, but here's one with a difference - brass players from the Breton town of Burek merge with musicians from the Macedonian city Kocani and the bombard (the characteristic double reed pipe from Brittany) player Gaby Kerdoncuff to create a unique fusion of two cultures from the edge of Europe. A very modern take on the dance music of these ancient traditions.

180g DOUBLE VINYL EDITION WITH DOWNLOAD CODE

This new collection of songs from the Argentinian singer-actor could be the soundtrack to a shady underworld, conjuring up as it does a chiaroscuro labyrinth of mirrors where time stands still.

Natty Will Fly Again ASHANTI ROY / PABLO MOSES / WINSTON JARRETT

Three singers hewn from the rockstone of reggae; all three symbolic of the spiritual roots reggae of seventies Jamaica and all making a real and lasting contribution to the development of the music. These elder statesmen were brought together for this new project by one of Jamaica's adopted sons, Harrison "Professor" Stafford of Groundation, who is the driving force behind this album. Stafford produced the album in California, composing all the tracks and playing drums, bass and rhythm guitar. He then jumped behind the mixing desk at Harry J's studio in Kingston, where the singers performed. Nine tracks of pure roots and dub versions to boot. Natty Will Fly Again is a bold and impressive statement of the ever-growing power and influence of reggae music.

Wevolution ROD ANTON & THE LIGERIANS

Following on from the success of their first album “Reasonin’” released in 2012 and featuring prestigious guests such as The Congos, Max Romeo and Midnite, Rod Anton is back this year with a second visionary album named “Wevolution”. The album’s main focus centres on the Native American legend of the hummingbird, brought up to date by Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The metaphor has been used by a large number of organizations for the protection of the environment lately. It aims at heightening public awareness of the significance of individual actions in the struggle for change.

Using the legend as their starting point Rod and the Ligerians have written songs imbued with an undeniable ecological commitment. Their Reggae is pure stripped-down Roots, with beguilingly skillful arrangements and a touch of early 80s Rockers Reggae sound. On the final track of the album Rod Anton’s voice is joined by the outstanding falsetto of Cedric Myton, the leading member of the legendary group The Congos.
