1. Marvin

3. Août
The sweat of the rainforest, the hostility of the mangrove did not suit him in the end. So he left his natural environment for the tranquility of a freshwater lake. Without the constant need to battle to assert its territory, the Tiger found there the ideal place for its instrumental stories. To tell the story of those journeys that took him from Asia to Africa, from soul jazz salons to the concrete streets of hip hop, and transformed his stripes into music sheets where Thai ranges and ethio-jazz arrangements were registered.
These journeys, the feline tells them in quartet, the steps of the superpredator inspired by the tenor saxophone of Laurent Bardainne, leader / trainer in the instrument in which are reflected the great figures of free jazz.
Without splashing, bass and drums draw concentric circles on the surface of the water, as many reactions to the groove, when the Hammond organ blows over the wave as the carrier of melodies and solos. With his eyes fixed in an analog and live aesthetics, Laurent Bardainne and Tigre D'Eau Douce engrave three first tracks with claws on the label Heavenly Sweetness.
First feline attack before the album.

CLIQUISH
Leron Thomas is big underground. A cursory glance at his press page pays testament to how highly regarded the Texan-born New York -residing trumpeter, composer vocalist and lyricist is amongst tastemakers. Having made his mark with contributions to a host of highly acclaimed projects – Bilal, Jason Moran, Guts, Meshell Ndegeocello and of course the stunning vocal on Zara McFarlane’s ‘Angie La La’- he’s rated as much for his trumpet and vocal prowess as for his true artistic independence. Yet it would it be wrong to put him in the jazz/soul/funk box and firmly close the lid. Far from it, Leron Thomas’s own music is a dazzling concoction of musical styles; random, raw and experimental.
Cliquish is the new recording from Leron Thomas and a fine demonstration of just how unclassifiable this great talent is. Here, funky soul, driving bass lines meet with hard inde rock riffs and electro pop sci-fi weirdness. Put simply, this is alternative black music that sounds like no other.

CARIBBEAN ROOTS
‘Caribbean Roots’ represents a return to his roots for Anthony Joseph, who has always
remained true to a powerful, deep-seated sense of his Caribbean identity. Having started
out as a joint project with the outstanding percussionist Roger Raspail (Cesaria Evora,
Papa Wemba, Kassav), ‘Caribbean Roots’ swiftly grew into a creative force incorporating
the rhythms, sounds and vibes that rock the Caribbean from San Fernando, Scarborough,
Kingston and Les Abymes to Port-au-Prince and Havana. Backed by a band made up
of a blend of local musicians, the album attempts to unite the different islands into a
single entity whilst ensuring that the identity of each is in no way diluted by the mix,
instead creating a richer and stronger alloy. The saxophones of Shabaka Hutchings (The
Heliocentrics) and Jason Yarde, the trumpet of Yvon Guillard (Magma), the bass of Mike
Clinton (Salif Keita) and the trombone of Pierre Chabrèle (Creole Jazz Orchestra) all
combine to form a group of Caribbean All Stars to which Andy Narrell, the master of the
steel pans, brings ringing drum beats.

BLUE NOTE LP RE-ISSUE SERIES 6
Quality sound taken from the original master tapes, 180g vinyl, heavy cardboard sleeve and original artwork.
Wicked work by pianist Horace Parlan -- and one of his most stunning Blue Note sessions ever!
The album was first recorded in 1963, but then kept on the shelf for years -- seeing only brief release as part of a Booker Ervin package in the late 70s, and finally coming out with the proper cover and lineup at some point in the 80s!
Why Blue Note waited so long is a mystery, because the album's a gem throughout -- almost more important, and more starkly modern than any of Parlan's other work for the label.
Booker Ervin leads the frontline on tenor, alongside Johnny Coles on trumpet, Grant Green on guitar, and the rhythm section of Butch Warren and Billy Higgins. Parlan's choice of material is fantastic -- with a number of Africanist tracks that feature unique rhythmic patterns that really push the soloists! Titles include "A Tune For Richard", "Dexi", "Home Is Africa", "Kucheza Blues", and "Back From The Gig".

A wonderful Elvin Jones session for Blue Note from 1970.On this one he deploys a double sax frontline of George Coleman and Frank Foster supported by Wilber Little on bass, Elvin on drums and the great Candido Camero on conga. Check out 5/4 Thing – as Leonard Feather puts it on the sleeve notes “A rhythmic circle of sound” and the Franck Foster classic “Simone”. Our favorite Elvin Jones album on Blue note, deep and spiritual.
