Laufey is a Los Angeles-based singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist whose transportative jazz songs about young love and self-discovery are filled with wonder and wanderlust. Raised between Reykjavík and Washington D.C. with annual visits to Beijing, the Icelandic Chinese artist grew up playing cello and piano, inspired by her violinist mother, and became hooked on the jazz standards of Ella Fitzgerald after digging through her father’s records. Her debut album Everything I Know About Love blends modern song structures and sensibilities with the classic musical stylings and instrumentation she learned as a violinist, translating intimate coming-of-age feelings into grand cinematic moments. The album swoons from sweeping orchestral arrangements, to soft jazz vocals that recall the range of golden-age Hollywood musicals. This is the second pressing of Everything I Know About Love now including the viral hit “Valentine”.

With their poetic and energetic music, the three storytellers from Italy, France, and Switzerland create an unobstructed view of the Mediterranean across the narrow mountain valleys. The music of these three musical personalities thrives on it's poetry, it's beautiful sound, it's depth of thought, and the interweaving of composition and improvisation. Original compositions meet Radiohead and Monteverdi variations and merge on Fables of Time into soulful music full of energy and subtle wit. A trio with three leaders, all three at home in different musical languages and technically at their peak. Together they form a unity that is rarely found. Thirteen years after the two highly acclaimed CDs What is There What is Not and Mavi, the long-awaited third release from this extraordinary trio is here. "The path offered to the listener is full of surprises and joy - you never know what's waiting around the corner: a stroll through a stately Renaissance melody, a sudden jolt of energy from free improvised passages, an evocation of village dance from an imaginary country that borders the desert, the Alps and the countryside, a flash of funky, and sometimes all these things at the same time", writes Francesco Martinelli in the liner notes.

Saxophonist, clarinettist, composer and visual artist Marcel Barta entered the Czech jazz and improvisation scene while still astudent and has since become one of it's core members. He is a founding member of the electro-jazz quintet MUFF, the cult jazzsextet Vertigo and the duo DoMa Ensemble. Besides collaborating with many foremost artists from different genres on the homeand international scene, he has been dedicating himself to composition, writing scenic music for the theatre company Farma vjeskyni (Farm in the Cave), among otherprojects. He is the recipient of multiple Czech Music Academy Awards in the jazz category,having also been nominated for the same award on a number of occasions. While Episodes from the Spinning Ball is the firstrecording to feature Barta's work exclusively, the eponymous composition is his first piece for a large ensemble. As composerand arranger he has taken part in dozens of projects and recordings, many of which were released by the label Animal Music.The new album brings a recording of a concert performance featuring the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, which took placeas part of the jazz-symphonic crossover series New Horizons in February 2025 in the DOX+Multifunction Hall in Prague.Composed on a commission from the orchestra, the work formally resembles a suite in three parts. It is performed, however, asa continuous flow of music. In the author's own words, the piece "is an attempt to evoke a story that reflects my own planetaryexperience. The rotating ball in the title is a geoid, the shape of our own planet." Combining composed music with improvisation,the piece bears traces of Barta's original style, known for example from his work for Vertigo or Muff. It is rooted in jazz andcontemporary classical music and unfolds like an elaborate story in which densely composed soundscapes interweave withdelicate melodies and fine-grained instrumentation and whereorder coexists with improvisation and melancholy passagesalternate with psychedelia and humour. The jazz band in the recording features, alongside Marcel Barta himself, tromboniststepan Janousek, keyboardist and synth player Vojtech Prochazka, double bassist Milos Klapsteand drummer Jan Chalupa. Thewhole jazz-symphonic ensemble is conducted by Bastien Stil who has had ample experience leading crossover projects. UPC: 8594211850636Label: Animal MusicRelease Date: 4.17.26Format: CD

Composer and guitarist Marcus Klossek, long recognized as a distinctive voice on the Fender Telecaster, presents Blink 7, the latest chapter in a band whose sound has evolved steadily from his long-running Electric Trio. Rooted in clarity, dynamic contrast, and a deep sense of interaction, the project reflects more than fifteen years of close musical collaboration.At the core of the ensemble are Carsten Hein on bass and Derek Scherzer on drums, longtime partners with whom Klossek has refined a highly responsive and nuanced group language. With Blink 6, this foundation expanded into a sextet, joined by three prominent figures from Berlin's jazz scene: Nikolaus Neuser, Ignaz Dinne (tenor saxophone), and Anke Lucks. The enlarged group quickly developed a strong collective identity, equally at ease with precise structure and open improvisation.Blink 7 continues this collaboration and introduces a new and distinctive voice: Korean vocalist Chamin. Appearing on three tracks-Go Not, Another One Beyond, and Unexpected Return-she sings and partially speaks Korean lyrics written by herself. Her voice adds a new layer of texture and expression, expanding the ensemble's tonal range and interacting organically with the instrumental voices rather than standing apart from them.In contrast to Blink 6, which was composed before the musicians were chosen, all eight compositions on Blink 7 were written specifically for this lineup. Klossek shaped each piece around the individual strengths and musical personalities of the players. "I knew what everyone could bring to the music," he explains. "That allowed me to write more precisely for the sound of the band." The result is music that unites clear compositional intent with the intuitive understanding that comes from long-standing collaboration.The album opens with Violet Shift, a rhythmically intricate piece built from interlocking patterns that suggest mechanical precision while maintaining an organic flow. Go Not begins with Chamin's whispered voice, creating an atmosphere of quiet tension and ambiguity. Ephyra (Third Dance) unfolds with a restrained, melancholic beauty, while Half Past Never features one of Klossek's most unrestrained guitar solos-raw, spontaneous, and unpredictable.On Another One Beyond, Chamin's voice further broadens the ensemble's harmonic space, while Begin Again, Swift highlights the band's agility, moving fluidly between tightly woven rhythms and open, airy phrasing. Glass Bridges introduces otherworldly sounds from Carsten Hein, blending acoustic bass with electronic elements. The closing track, Unexpected Return, brings the album to an energetic conclusion, driven by rhythmic momentum as Chamin's voice merges seamlessly with the horn section.Blink 7 captures a band at a mature and confident stage, balancing detailed composition with freedom and collective improvisation-music shaped as much by individual voices as by the shared identity they have built together.

A Revolving Alliance has multiple meanings, of course. It revisits some of the broader themes of hope and despair (as they relate to American society) that were part of Slocum's recording With Love and Sadness (Sunnyside, 2021). But that record, commissioned by Chamber Music America's New Jazz Works program and composed as a single suite with multiple movements, was focused more specifically on systemic racism in America. A Revolving Alliance "deals more broadly with my seemingly delusional hope that everything we are witnessing currently in the US (i. e. , the unraveling of the fabric of a democratic society) might still somehow be cyclical, that we may find our way back towards becoming a more compassionate society," commented Slocum. The recording is designed, shaped, and programmed around a narrative arc. Unlike the "melody first" approach that the drummer/composer takes with many compositions, the title track here developed from a bass line that follows a winding path through a dance in a mix of meters. "Yerazel" is an Armenian word that means "to dream. " Compositionally, Slocum created a floating, somewhat mysterious, mood of innocence and beauty. By the third track, "A Disappearing Path," many of the main themes of the recording have emerged. "I envision 'Solstice,' and it's placement in the sequence of the recording, as a kind of flashback to and reflection on a brighter time in the past before many precious things became lost and broken. The closing piece, 'A Dissolving Alliance,' speaks for itself," said Slocum. Slocum once again enlisted the producing acumen of Jerome Sabbagh who possesses, "a rare gift of being able to hear and articulate many of the sonic nuances that can deeply enhance a listener's experience," said Slocum. This is an all-analog project, recorded live to two-track analog tape, with the trio in the same room and no edits, punches, or "fixes. " Slocum elaborated, "More and more I find myself drawn to the magic, mystery, innocence, and interplay that can often be found in first takes. Of course, in this 'live-to-two' setting, our legendary recording/mixing engineer, James Farber, effectively becomes the fourth member of our ensemble. Everyone is given equal weight - James is a master who records musicians the way we would like to be heard. We also experimented with various panning possibilities in the studio - ultimately all agreeing that having the guitar in the left channel, drums in the right channel, and the bass in the middle, brought the most depth, emotion, and clarity to the music. The sound that James Farber captured in the studio was so impressive that, during mastering, Bernie Grundman used no EQ, bypassing the board entirely to get the cleanest signal. " Slocum's first inspirations were Max Roach (on Clifford Brown's Study In Brown, and with Buddy Rich on Rich Vs Roach), Philly Joe Jones (on Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet), and Roy Haynes (on the albums Thelonious In Action, Chick Corea's Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, and Haynes' We Three). Through prolific sideman work over many years, and leading his own band with eight must-hear albums (visit www. MattSlocumJazz. Com to explore his discography), Slocum has distilled these, and many other, influences, into what made these artists legends to begin with; vivid individuality. Slocum has been on his own path for many years, unconcerned with anything outside of cultivating, composing and performing music which represents his own artistic aesthetic and vision; music which resonates with and stimulates his fellow musicians; and music that finds music lovers yearning to hear master musicians in their prime. He has accomplished all of this and more with his new recording, A Revolving Alliance.

The music seamlessly melds acoustic and electric sonics through a mix of genre-blurring originals and deeply personal covers. The album features a multigenerational cast of musicians, including mentors like Terri Lyne Carrington, personal guitar heroes like Jeff Parker, and rising visionaries such as vibraphonist Joel Ross and vocalists Anna B Savage and Corey King. Co-produced by Stevens alongside Josh Johnson and Eric Doob, the record is the culmination of 20 years of craft. It reflects a period of profound personal and artistic change, ultimately bringing Stevens to "a place of optimism, excitement, and confidence" that signals a bold new chapter for one of jazz's most essential voices.
