Evan Geesman - NEWAGESEWAGE - VINYL LP

Jazz is played on trumpets, saxophones, banjos and drums, right? Jazz always has the word InchbluesInch in it's titles, or else the name of a Broadway song. We all know that, ok? But listen, dig deep into the history of the music and it becomes clear that some of the earliest jazz or pre-jazz performances, played after hours, away from the big house and in private, almost certainly involved string players who'd been employed to accompany waltzes, polkas and maybe reels for the plantation owner and his guests. So we shouldn't be too surprised to hear jazz performed on violin, viola and cello. Like the String Trio of New York and a small number of similar groups, Trio IXI have gone back to the roots of jazz in order to move it another evolutionary step forward. The InchsongsInch may be presented as classical InchmovementsInch, but the real clue to this extraordinary record is the title. These guys improvise, and with fire. Violinist Régis Huby knows that even with four strings you can still wail righteously. Guillaume Roy is both a second lead voice - maybe that's the viola's fate - but also an able accompanist, while Atsushi Sakaï is far from being a third wheel; cello is perhaps the most underrated jazz instrument of all, so close to the human voice. New wine, then, in old skins, but absolutely of the moment

Mercury Prize-winning British rapper Speech Debelle returns with a new album. 'Sunday Dinner On A Monday' is an examination of family, friends, lineage, and ancestral DNA, through the lens of afro-futurism. InchIt's about how we imagine and then create our own futuresInch, says Speech. InchThe album is about our journey through life, as we learn from experiences that expand our senses. We learn internal management and get closer to ease. Some of us even become nourished, like a good meal. This is THAT album.Inch
