Manchester based trumpeter, composer, arranger and producer Matthew Halsall has carved out a unique niche for himself as both a band-leader and producer delving deeply into the worlds of spiritual jazz and string-laden soul. His latest project finds him playing with and producing the legendary LA jazz singer Dwight Trible, who first came to international renown with his 2005 Ninja Tune release Love Is the Answer. Trible, whose deeply soulful voice has seen him compared to Leon Thomas and Andy Bey, has worked with the likes of Pharoah Sanders, Horace Tapscott and Kamasi Washington and brings a deep-rooted soulfulness to everything that he sings.

They are a Dutch quintet led by pianist Cees Slinger and were based as a resident band at the famous "Sheherazade" jazz- club in Amsterdam. They enjoyed quite a popularity. Playing all over Holland, accompanying expatriate American musicians on their visits to Amsterdam and even made a trip to the international jazz festival in Antibes on the French Riviera. The quintet stayed at the "Zade" for four years. Many guests appeared with it, notably Stan Getz, organist Lou Benneth and many other famous American musicians who were doing concerts in Holland and who took the opportunity to come to the "Zade" to jam with the Diamond Five members: practically all the musicians in Quincy Jones's ill-fated 'Free and Easy' band, Elvin Jones, Roy Eldridge, Jay Jay Johnson and many more. However, when the club closed its doors due to a shift in popular interest from jazz to rock music, the quintet disbanded soon after. The musicians are unique in their style, as Slinger plays sparse notes on his piano and tenor saxophonist Harry Verbeke solos are filled with a multitude of notes. Cees Smal playing different horns, while the bass and drum player support it by keeping it tight and bluesy.

Incl. 1 bonus track. “A near-classic by cornetist Nat Adderley. Utilizing a cornet-cello-guitar front line along with a top-notch rhythm section, Adderley performs a fine early version of his greatest hit (‘Work Song’). No matter the setting, Nat Adderley is heard throughout in peak form, playing quite lyrically. Highly recommended.” Record Label: Spiral Records Style: Jazz

Incl. 1 bonus track. This amazing concert presents the great Oscar Peterson performing in his native country, Canada (he was born in Montreal, Quebec, on August 15, 1925). A trio composed of piano, guitar and bass (as opposed to the common formation of piano, bass and drums) has always been a rarity. However, from the 1930s to the 1960s, there were splendid exponents of this unusual instrumental combo in jazz music. One of the most important of these trios was that of Nat King Cole (when he mostly played the piano and only rarely sang), with Oscar Moore on guitar and Johnny Miller on bass.

Incl. 1 bonus track. At the time Trav’lin’ Light was made, Billie Holiday had only recently died (on July 17, 1959) and was an omnipresent legend (Carmen McRae also recorded a homage to Billie in 1961, titled Carmen McRae Sings Lover Man). Apparently, the making of Trav’lin’ Light wasn’t Anita’s idea, but that of her producer. She explained in her autobiography that, “I also undertook, somewhat reluctantly, to do Trav’lin’ Light, a tribute to my idol Billie Holiday. A reviewer said I took Lady’s tunes and made them my own. It wasn’t true but I liked hearing it.” Record Label: Spiral Records Style: Jazz

Born out of a long collaborative history, the great chemistry of Denver-based trumpeter Ron Miles and guitarist Bill Frisell is amply documented on a number of Frisell recordings and their sublime duet album Heaven from 2002. Joined by master drummer Brian Blade, they teamed up again in 2010 and 2011 under Ron's leadership for a few select concerts in Denver and Boulder, and cut a record entitled Quiver, the album features some of the most inspired music these three players have made in recent years. Primarily featuring Miles's own tunes, the recording also includes interpretations of Duke Ellington and Henry Mancini compositions, as well as a wonderful song first recorded by Bix Beiderbecke and Bing Crosby in 1929, "There Ain't No Sweet Man That's Worth the Salt of My Tears." “Ron Miles is one of the finest trumpeters in jazz today. I can’t come up with a compelling reason why he should be anything other than a major name.” JazzTimes “Miles plays brilliantly, singing the melodies with a tone bright and vocalized, tinged with melancholy...” Down Beat Record Label: Yellowbird Style: Jazz

the best jazz record from japan, as the french-born english disc jockey, record label owner and music collector gilles peterson once assumed or is it maybe the best jazz record of all jazz records well, everybody needs to decide by himself and has to listen to 'watabase', the second solo piano album of the japanese jazz pianist fumio itabashi, that was originally released in 1982. tokyo based mule music unearth it, remastered the original recordings and brings it back to the global stores in order to seduce all music lovers that embrace notes who come straight from the heart and soul. while diving deep into the seven compositions on 'watarese', any sensible listener finds out, that the instrumental piano pieces are somehow soulfully connected to what keith jarret plays on his legendary 'the köln concert' live album for the munich based ecm record company. like jarret, itabashi does not play his notes academic. he let them fly, gives them some kind a life of their own, hits the piano keys deeply emotional and injects his compositions and interpretations some kind of nervous human soul. in terms of style some call his 'watarase' recordings post-bop, others contemporary jazz. none of such definitions fit really, as all is just that kind of agitating jazz that melts spirituality with humanity. three tunes, the epic 'someday my prince will come' as well as 'msunduza' and 'i can't get started', are interpretations of compositions by the us-american movie score pioneer frank churchill, south african pianist dollar brand and russian-american composer and songwriter vernon duke. all other four compositions been written and recorded by the 1949 born itabashi who started to play the piano when he was eight years old. while studying at the tokyo based kunitachi college of music, he fell in love with jazz. his love was so deep, that he starts to work in the 1970's with such legendary japanese jazz musicians like trumpet player terumasa hino, drummer takeo moriyama and saxophonist sadao watanabe. till today fumio itabashi is a vital part of the japanese jazz culture as a live performer and film score composer. those who want to see how he makes love with his piano should check the world wide web for the french documentary 'jazzed out', that captured his unique way of playing in one episode. but as music is always firstly for the ears, and not for the eyes, this little letter in-front of you would rather like to recommend to play the 'watarase' recordings loud to get hooked by the highly infectious piano gems that have been recorded at nippon columbia 1st studio in tokyo on 12th and 13th of octo-ber 1981. they will haunt you. they will come for good. and they will force you to be a good friend with the repeat button - whatever medium you chose to surrender to the piano jazz music of fumio itabashi.

Incl. 1 bonus track. The overwhelming success of Blues in Time (from a musical if not commercial standpoint) led to their second album, titled Two of a Mind, which would be recorded in 1962 and is presented here in its entirety. The sequel is generally considered to be much better than their excellent first encounter. After Two of a Mind, Mulligan and Desmond wouldn’t record together again until 1969. The two musicians were present at the April 29, 1969 Duke Ellington homage at the White House, where they both participated but didn’t interact. In June of that year, the saxophonists were captured playing live in New Orleans in a quartet format. Finally, the occasion presented itself in 1972 for both sax players to join the Dave Brubeck Trio (with Jack Six on bass and Alan Dawson on drums) for an extended European tour. Paul Desmond formed his Canadian quartet in early 1975 after several years of relative inactivity. He died on May 30, 1977. Record Label: Spiral Records Style: Jazz
