Laurie Antonioli - Varuna - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Laurie Antonioli is one of the era's definitive jazz vocalists, but she's got a Little Rock 'n' roll in her soul too. Her new album expands her creative purview with an emotionally trenchant program focusing on her collaborations with state-of-the-art jazz composers - including Russell Ferrante and Nguyˆn Lˆ - and new arrangements of songs by iconic singer/songwriters Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Sheryl Crow.

Wakanda Funk LoungeInch by SassyBlack, is a svelte slab of hologram funk delivered directly from the Black Panther nation of Wakanda. This four-song EP contains the chart-topping hits from that nation's funk lounges, and rising star, SassyBlack. SassyBlack is a Inchblaxploitation, sci-fi warrior queenInch and is also a multi-talented, space-aged songwriter, beatmaker, composer and singer. Her music has been described as Inchelectronic psychedelic soul,Inch with roots in experimental hip-hop, R&B, and jazz. Her voice has been compared to that of Ella Fitzgerald, Erykah Badu, and Georgia Anne Muldrow and her beats owe a debt to Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones. Like Queen Latifah, she sings, raps, is an actor and produces all her own music. Before going solo, she recorded and performed as half of the Afrofuturist hip-hop duo THEESatisfaction. Her music has received attention from Okayplayer, Afropunk, The Fader, Pitchfork, B*tch magazine and more. Her brand new InchWakanda Funk LoungeInch EP has been recently released as a 500-copy special-edition 7Inch single on Seattle hip-hop record tag Crane City Music. The cover was designed by visual artist Wutang McDougal and each copy is pressed on colored vinyl and is individually numbered. The music is also available online on all major streaming services and can be purchased digitally through Bandcamp.

When I think of InchBlack Panther,Inch it is talking about black freedom, so much that we have our own secret space. What would be freer than a Wakanda funk lounge?Inch This is not her first sci-fi or superhero-themed project. SassyBlack performed at 2018's Emerald City Comic Con, and her 2016 full-length album, InchNo More Weak DatesInch contains nume
