Bill Laurance - Lumen - VINYL LP
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Jazz
- Description: Vinyl LP pressing. Lumen is Bill Laurance's intimate solo piano album, blending composition and improvisation in a quiet, church-lit search for simplicity and depth. Lumen is the deeply personal and introspective new solo album by pianist and composer Bill Laurance. Recorded in the stillness of night inside an empty church, the album captures a rare and intimate moment of communion between artist, instrument, and space. Though not religious, Laurance describes the experience as almost spiritual-guided more by the music itself than by his own intention, as if he were merely a vessel. At it's heart, Lumen explores the delicate balance between composition and improvisation. Some pieces follow meticulously crafted scores, while others are entirely spontaneous, born in the moment. It's in the space between these two worlds, Laurance suggests, that the true magic of music lies. Using both a Yamaha grand and a felted upright piano, he embarked on what felt like a solo retreat-searching not for complexity, but for simplicity and truth in sound. The result is an album of striking clarity and emotional depth, shaped by silence, vulnerability, and trust in the unknown. But Lumen is only the beginning. Each performance-shaped by room acoustics, audience energy, even the artist's state of mind-transforms the music anew. It's this ever-evolving nature that continues to inspire Laurance, as he let's the music lead the way. Album Tracks 1. Fils D'or 2. Lumen 3. Mantra 4. What You Always Wanted 5. Dove 6. Treehouse 7. Lovers Leap 8. Opal 9. Sera 10. Even After All

GERALD LEVERT - Part of Rhino's InchNow PlayingInch Series! - Gerald Levert's fans nicknamed him InchTeddy BearInch for his cozy and comforting voice and songs. The son of O'Jays leader Eddie Levert, Gerald broke through with his trio LeVert, then segued into a full-blown solo career. A quiet storm rider, he loved to luxuriate in the slow, romantic grooves, as these ten original recordings show. Album Tracks 1. Casanova - Levert 2. Baby Hold on to Me (With Eddie Levert, Sr.) 3. School Me 4. I'd Give Anything 5. Thinkin' Bout It 1. My Body - LSG 2. Taking Everything 3. Funny 4. U Got That Love (Call It a Night) 5. In My Songs
Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
