release date: 11.03.2022 ; artist’s self-release

“Gill’s spiky, sparse piano was most successful in channeling the eccentric spirit of the masterful Monk” — Geoff Chapman, Toronto Star

Twelve years passed since Tania Gill‘s debut Bolger Station in 2010. The whole decade is quite a gap and many might not even notice its original appearance at all. I didn’t , being Europe based and if not the recent Disappearing Curiosities I might not ever cross the path with Tania’s music, which would be an unfortunate event as despite of the lack of the recognition outside of her domestic Toronto scene, it is the music which well deserves to be known better and listened to. The fact that the line up stays firm since a decade also says a lot. Lina Allemano — trumpet; Rob Clutton—bass; Nico Dann — drums, remain valid members of pianist Quartet.

A remarkable album produced through artificial intelligence design and interaction with modular synthesisers is the latest offering from British musician Sam Britton aka Isambard Khroustaliov. Sam’s music had always being exploring some cyber musical Universe in sort of avant garde, but that one is taking the whole experiment even further,

“Deliciously and maddeningly unclassifiable” – The Wire
“Truly innovative” – BBC Late Junction
“Oddly recalling free music experiments of the late 60s by Spontaneous Music Ensemble if time-warped to a postrave warehouse ritual on the Moon. Fearless” – Electronic Sound
“abstract flicker, controlled tone and daring extended strategies … it’s all going on.” Jazzwise
“This is music of fracture that somehow manages to move in continuous sweeps of sound.” – Future Music

release date: 04.03.2022 via Firehouse 12 Records

“Deliberately seeing double in the cause of exploratory jazz, Fujiwara brings together instrumentalists primed to rub each other in all the right and creatively wrong ways.“ – The New Yorker

“[The six musicians’] collective talent and Fujiwara’s innovative leadership make for a tonic of unpredictability… A triple scoop of great music.” – Britt Robson, JazzTimes

“March is brilliantly mad, joyously improvisational, cathartically cleansing. The perfect companion to two years of isolation, this music frees your spirits and clearly makes the musicians soar.…It all goes happy-hour punch-drunk in the dual-drummer assault of ‘Wave Shake Angle Bounce,” with ominous tri-tones backing gleeful guitar and trumpet as Fujiwara and Cleaver bash and bleed.” – Ken Micallef, JazzTimes

On “Be Am“, Wesseltoft has allowed his creative impulses to wander where they may – no preset rules to govern the composition and production, no obligations to use or not to use electronics, not even a will to be totally alone. This is pure playing and composition, where the music speaks freely by whatever means it will.

release date: 18.02.2022 via Jazzland Recordings

With THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU, the Johan Lindvall Trio continues its work within the jazz tradition. The dream continues. What does it really mean to dream of jazz? Yes, it may be a bit about nostalgia or about finding a kind of personal doorway into a tradition. Because even though the concept can be questioned, jazz exists, lives and develops. The trio’s first album NO CITY, NO TREE, NO LAKE (2019) received rave reviews and was mentioned in Dagsavisen by Espen Løkeland as: “(…) a smacker of an album. One of the best so far this year. ”
