Contemporary Jazz, Modern Creative | Label: Galileo Music Communication, Official Digital Download

This repertoire emerges from a reflection on the value of limitations in art as a tool of renouncement and transgression. On the concrete use of limitations in composing as a device of emancipation — tracing the frame from which to extract ourselves —. Here, written music is apprehended like a block of raw matter which each member is called upon to peel, bend or weld onto another.

Avant-Garde Jazz, Modern Creative | Label: Discus Music, Official Digital Download

Paul Dunmall's dynamic Birmingham quintet's release Yes Tomorrow was a Discus highlight of 2022. We enjoyed the release so much that we took the unusual step of suggesting he add Julie and Charlotte to the group to make a second release. Paul embraced the idea with enthusiasm, and came up with this suite for the expanded group. The result is a freewheeling set with a great "live gig" feel, which gives plenty of space for each player to shine, and which mixes some tight compositions with open ended improvisation sections.

Contemporary Jazz, Modern Creative | Label: Unseen Rain Records, Official Digital Download

Each one of my Unseen Rain recordings have featured a side of my improvising personality, from the standards of Film Noir to the wild free jazz of Blood River Shaman. For this latest trio recording I decided to focus on my own compositions. I’ve been writing tunes as well as classical pieces since I was in my late teens. Most of my tunes are either sketches for free improvs or ECM style acoustic jazz.

Balans, Harald Lassen's fourth album, is a fascinating self-portrait of an improviser who finds freedom in a good song, a songwriter who invites listeners and fellow musicians to explore what he has created, and an artist who understands that the only valid taste is the personal.

Still as libertarian and inhabited, Sébastien Palis (piano, composition), Raphaël Quenehen (saxophones), Quentin Ghomari (trumpets), Thibault Cellier (double bass) and Jérémie Piazza (drums) embark on a new adventure: meet Jim Harrison, American novelist and poet (1937 – 2016) who thought writing and trout fishing went so well together. A Very Big Lunch is an allegorical tribute to the Giant "Cyclops" or rather what he gave birth to : stories, characters and landscapes. A Feast… A hell of a Feast !

This is thought-provoking music by confident and experimenting musicians, offering true remedy for the strained mind.

In Jazz music, each artist should be profoundly personal and vitally collective at the same time. For this reason, a saxophone, bass, and drum trio is a machine as demanding as it is fascinating. The absence of the piano “glue” makes the musicians look for solutions to this odd game. On one extreme we have a pure section on rhythm releasing all melodic work to the saxophone, on the other hand we can find bass and drums being able “singing” against their natural role. Between the two there are myriads of possibilities.

Properly transcendent deep-dream jazz fantasy from prolific trumpet virtuoso Arve Henriksen (Supersilent) and Norwegian pianist Kjetil Husebø, together shaping an album that’s much, much more than the not so inconsiderable sum of its parts. Like a fever-dream comedown, it takes us from insanely rich sounding 4th world topographies to fizzing, electric ambience and fluttering prepared piano, perfectly soundtracking the humid un-reality we’re living through. If you’re into Jon Hassell, Miles Davis, Don Cherry/Codona, David Sylvian - read on.

"Djupet" began as a commissioned work co-composed by Jo Berger Myhre and Erlend Viken for the Ultima Festival and Riksscenen in 2020. Together, with dancers Ida Wigdel, Ådne Kolbjørnhus and Katja Schia, they explored the common ecstatic potential of, and the links between, folk, improvisational and electronic dance music. Thomas Pohlitz Strønen was producer, and when they recorded the music the week after the premiere, the duo became a trio.
