2018 em beleza e sutileza:
AMBROSE AKINMUSIRE
"Acclaimed trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire breaks new ground with his 4th Blue Note album "Origami Harvest", a surprisingly fluid study in contrasts that pits contemporary classical wilding against deconstructed Hip Hop, with bursts of left-field jazz, funk, spoken word and soul, with help from the Mivos Quartet and art-rap expatriate Koll AD (Das Racist), along with pianist Sam Harris, drummer Marcus Gilmore and saxophonist Walter Smith III"

IDRIS ACKAMOOR
“I wanted to use folklore, fantasy and drama as a warning bell. The songs explore global themes that are important to me and to us all: the rise of catastrophic climate change and our lack of concern for our planet, loss of innocence and separation... but positive themes too, the healing power of music, collective action and the simple beauty of nature.”

JULIAN LAGE
"Modern Lore" finds Lage playfully flipping the script he followed on his acclaimed 2016 Mack Avenue debut, Arclight. That album - produced, like "Modern Lore", by Lage’s friend and collaborator, the singer-songwriter Jesse Harris - was his first trio set on electric guitar and found Lage inspired by the sounds and the attitude of the freewheeling, pre-bebop jazz era, when, as he puts it, "country music and jazz and swing were in this weird wild-west period." This time he incorporates the sensibility, if not the outright sound, of early rock and roll, a similarly hybrid form driven by rhythm, personality and a passion for the electric guitar"

LAURIE ANDERSON
"I’ve always been fascinated by the complex relationship of words and music whether in song lyrics, supertitles or voice over. In Landfall, instruments initiate language through our new text software, erst. The blend of electronic and acoustic strings is the dominant sound of Landfall. Much of the music in this work is generated from the harmonies and delays of unique software designed for the solo viola and reinterpreted for the quartet. In addition, there were elements of the optigan, a keyboard that uses information stored on optical discs."

NICOLE MITCHELL
“Imagination, especially black imagination, is a really vital and undervalued resource. It’s very clear that we can’t continue in the same direction that we’ve gone, but we need to return to the source of where imagination and creativity come from, because if we don’t have another vision then we can’t implement it, and we can’t make a different future. What makes us special as human beings is our ability to imagine things that don’t even exist yet.”
