Hakim Jamal(UK)
I, Lucifer
I wrote this song about a book I read. In it, The Devil (suffering in eternal pain in Hell) is invited by God to taste once more the sins of the flesh – for a few days only. It’s delicious. If he decides he wants to stay, he gives up the right to being omnipresent and dies the death of a mortal. If he gives up, he goes back to eternal damnation. What will he decide?

J’nique(Trinidad & Tobago)-Dou Dou Palé
Composer: J’nique

This jazz fusion masterpiece is an illustration of how something old can be turned into something new. The story is delivered in the language of English and Patois (Kwéyol). A foundation language that has greatly influenced the way “Trinbagonians” speak; a feature of Trinidad & Tobago’s rich cultural diversity. J’nique fondly refers to it as her love language. Dou Dou Palé means Sweetheart Talk! It is a romantic, sexy, seductive exchange between lovers. “The intent is to connect with people on an artistic level, from all walks of life, from all races and cultures around the world.
The idea of the musical arrangement is a reflection of the fusion of the many languages Kwéyol is comprised of.
It transports you to this sensual escape that creates an intensely emotional experience for the listener. The dominant instrumentation lies in the Latin Montuno and Zouk elements.

As we connect on this musical frequency, the intensity of the moment is communicated in a sort of rhythmic jam.
It climaxes into the sweet artistic explosion. “Music to make you forget every Tout Bagay, just dance!”- J’nique.

Al-jiçç (Portugal)-Zadar
Composer: Al-jiçç
Album: Chants (2021)
Label: Al-jiçç
‘Chants’ is Al-jiçç’s fifth album and represents an aesthetic evolution of the band. It was composed and produced during the pandemic, with the musicians individually recording their parts.
The music started with six little themes composed on a electric piano, which served as a harmonic basis for the improvisations. These improvisations were edited and manipulated, with the mixing and post-production playing a fundamental role in the construction of the record.
Keeping the Mediterranean-inspired melodies as a brand, in ‘Chants’ these were fused in a universe influenced by Miles Davis’ electric phase (in ‘Route’), by Dub (in ‘Zadar’) or the more ambient electronics ( in ‘Lost Sign’).
This record represents a new direction for Al-Jiçç, using the melodic side as a starting point for more electronic and contemporary universes.

2-03 feat. Hakim Jamal(UK)-End It
Album name: Untitled
Composer: Paul Ashley Wheatcroft
Label: TalkingHead TV Recordings
Year of release: 2021
It’s a departure from Hakim’s 70s-influenced material and a return to the hip-hop style which characterized the early material by Ashley and Jackson.
However, the sound is darker, harder and the lyrical content unstinting and angry. It tells the story of a period in time,1993, in which a wave of political turmoil in the US gave rise to an angrier, darker sound in Hip-Hop, epitomized by music of The Wu Tang Clan in particular.
It’s called ‘Untitled’ as a commentary on the thousands of small psychodramas which happen unnoticed daily within inner-city culture; and as a reference to the thousands of unknown victims of crime and despair, whose stories go untold. A lot of the material is quasi-autobiographical.

This is the first track from the new LP, ‘U Come Thru’. I’ve long had an interest in traditional black music and felt the time was right to re-appraise and musically investigate the genres of Blues and Gospel. There are 8 tracks on the album and each of them is a modern reworking of either a Southern Baptist hymn or a traditional Blues song. The vibe is a kind of mashup of styles, trying to link the secular Blues medium with the religious Gospel one. Yet as with ‘In My Mind’ both styles are set against stripped-down hip-hop beats and jazzy figures. The aim is to use an 8-track style approach to limit the number of instruments and give room to the vocal samples I’m using.

At the edge of European jazz, classical music and world music, Simon Denizart plays sensitive and energizing music, rich in a thousand facets, and carried by a traveling energy.

Le pianiste Simon Denizart revient le 23 avril 2021 avec son quatrième album Nomad, enregistré avec Elli Miller Maboungou à la calebasse, au piano et aux percussions.
A la lisière du jazz européen, de la musique classique et de la world music, Simon Denizart joue une musique sensible et énergisante, riches de mille facettes, et portée par une énergie voyageuse.
Son nouveau projet Nomad, est né de l’idée de créer, en superposant plusieurs couches de piano, des sonorités différentes et plus électroniques sans jamais trahir sa source acoustique. L’auditeur voyage au gré des riches et éclectiques textures produites par le piano.
Tout au long de Nomad, on entend parfois des cordes pincées imitant une basse ou une guitare, des accords traités avec différents effets produisant des sons symphoniques ou encore des sonorités rock et électronique grâce aux distorsions et « delay » utilisés pour mettre en valeur les mélodies.»

Lyle Workman(USA)- Imaginary World
Album: Uncommon Measures (2021)
Label: Blue Canoe Records
Bursting at the seams with soaring arrangements and virtuosic performances, Lyle Workman’s ‘Uncommon Measures’ showcases not only Workman’s unparalleled musicianship, but also his profound empathy and expansive emotional vocabulary. The songs here are living, breathing entities, constantly growing and evolving in ways both subtle and drastic, and the production is similarly unpredictable, veering from larger-than-life bombast to whispered intimacy and back, sometimes within the very same track. The result is a record as extraordinary as it is unexpected, a captivating, transportive song cycle that manages to scale the dizzying heights of joy and sadness, love and friendship, self-discovery and celebration, all without a single word.

The Tiptons Sax Quartet(USA)-Wabi Sabi
Composer: The Tiptons Sax Quartet
Album:Wabi Sabi(2021)
Label:Sowiesound Records
For over three decades, THE TIPTONS SAXOPHONE QUARTET & DRUMS have been making music to galvanize the senses and take listeners through unforgettable soundscapes. But in that time, they’ve been around the block enough to know to appreciate the unexpected ways in which the process of making good music can sometimes unfold. So rather than bemoaning what is not perfect in a perfect world, they’ve learned as improvisers how to work with limited resources or unforeseen challenges. That is the spirit behind the band’s new single “Wabi Sabi” (out Feb 19, 2021) inspired by and named after the Japanese philosophy that translates roughly as “find beauty and take pleasure in the imperfect”. The track promises a forthcoming collection of new music to illustrate the sometimes unexpected beauty in our chaotic world.(Continued)
