2024

Legendariske gitarristen Mike Stern har hyllats för sin unika spelstil sedan han först slog igenom på 1970-talet. Han har spelat med storheter som Blood, Sweat & Tears, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, The Brecker Brothers, David Sanborn, Yellowjackets med flera. Nu har Stern samlat en stjärnspäckad grupp musiker (inklusive Chris Potter, Jim Beard, Christian McBride, Antonio Sanchez, Richard Bona och Dennis Chambers) och spelat in elva helt nya originalkompositioner. Mumma för alla gitarr- och jazzfans!

GRAMMY winning singer, songwriter, and pianist Norah Jones' ninth solo studio album Visions is a collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Leon Michels that is introduced today with the official video for the album's lead single "Running." The song was co-written by Jones and Michels and features Norah on vocals, piano, guitar, and bass with Leon on drums and baritone saxophone.<br/> <br/>Visions is a vibrant and joyous 12-song set that finds Jones singing about feeling free, wanting to dance, making it right, and acceptance of what life brings. It's the yang to the yin that was Pick Me Up Off The Floor, Jones' last album of new original songs which was released early in the pandemic lockdown of 2020 and foreshadowed many of the dark emotions of that period.

Tillsammans med sina trogna vapendragare, Jarle Vespestad på trummor och Steinar Raknes på kontrabas, fördjupar sig Tord Gustavsen i sin unika blandning av jazz, blues, gospel, skandinavisk folkmusik och kyrkomusik.<br/><br/> "Resultatet är hänförande som så ofta hos Tord Gustavsen Trio. Tionde skivan från Tord Gustavsen är också en av hans bästa." (Andreas Lagercrantz)

Grammy Awards-prisade duon, Magnus Lindgren och John Beasley, bjuder på en intim, musikalisk dialog på nya albumet "Butterfly Effect", som rymmer elva originallåtar samt en skön version av Beatles "Come Together".

Di Meola är en sann virtuos och en av den moderna jazzens mest profilstarka stjärnor, som med lätt hand blandar jazz och världsmusik på ett sätt som även kan tilltala dem som inte är experter inom dessa genrer. På detta nya album, som egentligen var menat att vara ett helt akustiskt album, utforskar Di Meola sin kärlek till musiken och sin vägran att låta sig omfattas av musikaliska regler kring vad som är "tillåtet" eller ej. Ett vackert album där svepande melodislingor svävar över konstfullt arrangerad instrumentering. Unikt och intressant.

MONICA Z AT ATLANTIS AND POLAR STUDIOS<br/><br/>In our Swedish catalogue, we have a couple of albums with highly acclaimed Swedish jazz singer/actress Monica Zetterlund.<br/><br/>Monica started her career 1958 och worked during the year with jazz giants like Bill Evans, Thad Jones, Mel Lewis, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Toots Thielemans and others. Miles Davis was very fond of her. She had an amazing career, not only as a singer but also as an actress. One of Sweden's most beloved artists ever. She was signed to BMG in 1989 and during the years we released 6 albums. The first three albums were a huge success and it was an fantastic comeback for her. Monica also had many fans outside Sweden but tragically passed away 2005.<br/><br/>In the early 90's, BMG recorded some of her "Swedish" songs in English and the plan was to release an album internationally. Songs that did appear with Swedish lyrics on three of her bestselling albums from the 90's.The release didn't happened and the tapes were put away and forgotten. I've tried to find out why the release didn't happen but haven't got any good answer. <br/>A couple a years ago the tapes were found and Swedish media got notice about these recordings and fans have reached out to us to have them released.<br/><br/>So, we have together with the producer put together an album of these 9 recordings. And it sounds really great.
