Put on the sunglasses, listen to this music - and the trivial worries of everyday life are lost as blurred memories of a long gone yesterday in the distance. MARE is the noise of waves that has become music. MARE is the southern sea breeze that has always inspired the imagination of Central Europeans. MARE shines in all the beguiling sounds of a longed-for paradise and smells of dolce vita, ripe lemons and yellow bikinis. The Mediterranean lightness of being has undoubtedly always been the hallmark of Quadro Nuevo's instrumental art Italian tangos, French valse, Aegean mythical melodies, daring driving songs along a sunlit coastal road, oriental impressions, Brazilian flavor and Neapolitan hits. They all serve as a fun barque for joyfully improvised adventure rides. Quadro Nuevo got the suggestions and inspirations for this on extensive journeys. Musical jewels picked up on the squares and on the shores of the South.

Code Quartet / GENEOLOGY - Code Quartet is comprised of Christine Jensen on saxophones, Lex French on trumpet, Adrian Vedady on acoustic bass and Jim Doxas on drums. Citing themselves as grown out of a jazz genealogy, they came together with the equal goal of composing and improvising in a cordless quartet setting. The quartet draws on composers from Fletcher Henderson to Paul Bley, Charlie Haden, Ornette Coleman, and beyond. The compositions are inspired by visual art, poetry, the environment, politics, and social movements. JUSTIN TIME RECORDS
