[ September the 20th release from AMP Music & Records: Frederik Villmow Quartet feat. Tomas Franck Live in Copenhagen ]
Based in Norway Trondheim is well known worldwide hatchery for talents, with phenomenal educational faculty for the Music , excellent cadre and equally mind-blowing Big Band. Joining that club is every young musician’s dream. No surprise then that German drummer Frederik Villmow moved just there, once he achieved as much as he could during his extended studies and orchestral period with Youth Jazz Orchestra in Germany and further during his studies in Rotterdam.

[ September the 6th release from Not Applicable Recs: Lothar Ohlmeier, Rudi Ficherlehner, Isambard Khroustaliov – Hypertide Over Kiribati ]
Release: September 6th
“Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind …”
The hypertide is real, so is Kiribati. In our collective somnambulism we’ve managed to create a situation where a low lying atoll in the Pacific will soon be flooded by the polar ice we’ve managed to melt in part by uploading photos to Instagram. A real life desert island paradise submereged by a virtual tide of holiday selfies.

[ 13th of September BBE Music release: Ebo Taylor – Palaver ]
BBE Music unearth ‘Palaver’, a long-lost, previously unreleased 1980 album from Ghanaian guitarist and songwriter Ebo Taylor.
If Fela Kuti was the king of Nigerian Afrobeat, then Ebo Taylor, 83 and still playing hard, is the king of Ghana Funky-Highlife. No doubt whatsoever. Much of Ebo’s beautiful 70s and 80s output has been reissued, as more and more Afro music lovers are being converted to his unique pan-West African sound.

[ The Spirit of The Purity : The French Record Company’s 1st time LP issue of the historical performance of MARCELLE MEYER playing DEBUSSY ]
Did you ever think about hearing what previously was unheard? I mean not the music which is still in a composer’s head and hasn’t made it to the score yet, that will finally come sooner or later, but I mean the music which had been performed in the past by real masters, heard by composers, critics and listeners, had been raved about over the virtues of the performance which then became legendary and an immortal act living in the memories of those who had been lucky enough to witness it. Perhaps you have been dreaming to travel back in time to see and hear a musician you admire a lot, live? Regardless the genre, It could be Jim Morrison, Robert Johnson or Niccolo Paganini. Or Marcelle Mayer. If that’s Her, then here is a special treat for you.
