James Wylie - To Our Land (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Recorded in Greece with an outstanding ensemble of Athenian jazz musicians, James Wylie makes his Rattle debut with an album of beautifully recorded and performed compositions that will delight fans of high-quality contemporary jazz.

"In recent years, the world has experienced an increase in pain, suffering and systemic injustice caused by fellow human beings in the pursuit of power and financial gain. Where I live, the people, their countries and the cultures of the wider region are deeply connected, and the burden of these struggles can be felt in everyday life.

I believe that all people have the right to live peacefully and freely, to follow their convictions and to love and be loved as they wish. Since these fundamental rights are increasingly being attacked by global power structures, this music originated from a place of resistance. It is a call to unity, a recognition of suffering, a gesture of hope and a vision of a more just, peaceful and beautiful world." (James Wylie, June 2025).
