Sejin Bae - Direction - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Candice Hoyes, Mimi Jones, and Val Jeanty - the visionary forces behind Nite Bjuti - are architects of a new New York City sound. United by a boundary-pushing spirit, they fuse turntables, rhythmic bass, and poetic lyricism to honor the community and lineage of the Caribbean diaspora. Born from reflections on love and communal resilience, Minwi looks toward a future rooted in empathy and mutual care. They treat the creation of 'home' as an ongoing, collective practice - a necessary response to the systemic challenges and displacement currently facing Black, Brown, and immigrant communities across the globe. As Karen Gabay says in the liner notes InchThis album is a rarity in the 21st centuryInch and in a statement accompanying the album, guest flautist Nicole Mitchell declares that InchWhat Candice, Val and Mimi are doing with Nite Bjuti will be imprinted into the history of this time and space for Black women a cross the Atlantic (...) This is not a group climbing for recognition. This is a collective with a soulful mission.Inch We proudly and joyfully welcome Nite Bjuti to the Intakt Records family! Album Tracks 1.

As a follow-up to Way Out Willy (CRC 1288), saxophonist Seamus Blake's latest features pianist David Kikoski, guitarist Lage Lund, bassist Matt Clohesy, and drummer Bill Stewart on another electrifying set of originals that sparkle with creativity and the kind of integrity that marks the best of today's current generation of jazz artists. Among a decidedly upbeat set of tunes, highlights further include some deeply moving statements from the saxophonist and Lund on the introspective the Song That Lives Inside. Rounding out the mix are takes on John Scofield's Dance Me Home and a third stream-inspired reworking of Debussy's String Quartet in G Minor, Opus 10. Album Tracks 1. Dance Me Home 2. A Beleza Que Vem 3. Subterfuge 4. The Song That Lives Inside 5. Bellwether 6. Minor Celebrity 7. String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10
