When Pascal Le Boeuf set out to make a record with his young, dynamic trio Pascal’s Triangle, the intention was to produce an electronic-styled crossover jazz album, involving a layered recording process, programmed beats and the like. But, as Le Boeuf reveals, “I enjoyed the spontaneity of the more acoustic songs, and when I took the electronics away, the compositions [...]

Amazon.com Widgets Very soon, Jonathan Finlayson will lose his distinction as jazz's best trumpet player on the scene today without a record under his name. Coming out next week, Moment and the Message is a debut more than twelve years in the making, a destination Finlayson was ultimately going to reach when he joined Steve Coleman's Five Elements band as [...]

A familiar line that has been used in live shows for years is 'let's hear it for the boys in the band'. Additionally, Boys In The Band (albeit with a different meaning) has been the title of both a play and a movie, so it has become a familiar phrase. A new documentary takes advantage of that familiarity but turns it around, calling itself The Girls In The Band . It celebrates the ladies who have often been forgotten when people look at the history of jazz during the big band era. [...]

A whirlwind of sound. There's something about Yuri Shulgin's music that just makes me happy. A mixture of house, jazz and funk, this music is exactly my kind of cup of tea.  Swirling synthesizers (see  S loppy Dance ), trumpets ( see C inematic Brookyln ), piano, rhodes and alto saxophone - his music has so much style. New song Nothing in the City is one hell of  song where he encompasses [...]

Drawing heavily from his trip hop and jazz influences present on his previous four albums, Simon Green who records and performs under the name Bonobo, stays basically true to form with his latest studio release titled The North Borders, available now on Ninja Tune Records. The music begs to be played late at night, preferably after heavy drinking and exhausting shenanigans. Heavy syncopated drums loop over ambient synths and assorted other instruments to create down tempo electronica that depresses listeners at the same time as it relaxes. Green also employs a tide like effect in many of his [...]

For most musicians and singers alike, mining those great American standards can only get you so far before it begins to sound tired and rote. For thirty years running, the greatest living jazz trio is still mining that gold vein while keeping it fresh and vital. That's a big part of the reason why Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack [...]

Earlier I declared my love for Jamie Cullum ’s album ' Catching Tales'. The sweet calmness of the sound can still get me to shut up and listen. Signs were that for his fifth album ‘ Momentum’ , Cullum was quite done with being ‘that jazzy guy with the piano’. The collaboration with Roots Manuva wasn’t overwhelming, but certainly showed another side of Jamie Cullum. This Monday, ‘Momentum’ was finally released. I’m not sure yet [...]

Pat Metheny and John Zorn? What are both musicians famous for? Metheny constructs compositions spun from gorgeous and seemingly endless long-form melodies. Zorn shakes the noise from film noir, Klezmer, jazz, and blues. If you give both artists a superficial read, the areas of overlap aren't obvious. A deeper look reveals this: Ornette Coleman. In addition to his phenomenal collaboration [...]

world jazz // cape verdean The music of Lisbon-born and London-based songstress Carmen Souza is hard to categorize, but easy to love. In her recent studio-album Kachupada (2013), Carmen embodies the influences of traditional Cape Verdean sounds, American jazz, Latin, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and more. Carmen’s remarkably soulful voice is the center of it all, as she easily swings through exotic beats and mellow jazz tones with a feeling of saudade . Her version of Charlie Parker’s bebop classic “Donna Lee” sounds festive, danceable and [...]

It's clear from his latest recorded offering Bridges that the pianist and composer David Ake has a lot to say musically, but this being only his third record over a period of fifteen years, he hasn't had much time to say it. That's because Ake is also a scholar, author and member of the jazz ensemble EEA with Peter Epstein [...]

Electronica, dub en leftfield hiphop: in die 3 steekwoorden omschrijven Ian Scott en Joe Wretham hun werk als Big Mister Doom . Het duo uit Manchester timmert sinds 2010 aan de weg, en heeft eind april zijn derde ep uitgebracht: Disconnected Repeater , uitgebracht op het Nederlandse Fremdtunes .  De nieuwe ep is uitstekend materiaal voor liefhebbers van luisterelektronica met de nodige ambient en jazz. Opener 'Genus' lijkt bijvoorbeeld zo weggelopen uit Geodaddi richting iets meer hiphop-georiënteerde beats, 'Flourish' zou zonder problemen op de tweede helft van [...]

I don't know about you, but even though I knew Polly Bergen could sing, I have always thought of her as an actress. In fact, I was doing just that - thinking about her - not too long ago when I read a story about the odds of Hillary Clinton becoming president, because one of Bergen's memorable roles was in 19642s Kisses for My President . In case you've forgotten, she played the president and Fred MacMurray was the - er - first husband or first gentleman, whatever. But she's always had a musical side too, and that's what [...]

Apart, and most certainly together, Bob James and David Sanborn have most often been associated with a sound more easy-going and palatable than necessarily challenging. Not here. Quartette Humaine, imagined as a tribute to Dave Brubeck's time-shifting collaborations with Paul Desmond and ultimately recorded a week after Brubeck's passing, showcases two underrated jazz artists reasserting something that maybe we all [...]

For everyone spending the Whitsun-Weekend in Leipzig, it is pure recovery to be in a place with people that aren't dressed in black and/or smell like an acre of pachouli. Well, at least that counts for those in the city who aren't attending the WGT – the biggest Gothic Meeting in Europe. Sure, most of The post Dear Reader – naTo, Leipzig – May 17 appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

I could've sworn I posted this already. Our search function says that I haven't, and if I can't trust that, who can I trust? No one, that's who. The Three Little Bops is a 1957 Looney Tunes animation of a jazzy retelling of the three little pigs story. In it, the three pigs are a successful jazz trio who are constantly interrupted by the ill-fitting, trumpet playing wolf. Hilarity and hi-jinx ensue! The cartoon was pretty much a music video for this song (you can watch it here , but not with the original [...]

Only for rare, appropriate, monumental occasions does troysnoise break from its ethos of discovering and sharing emerging music. We're getting lucky - the release of and eight year drought from a Daft Punk studio album qualifies for such an occasion. No doubt, the majority of bands and artists we share, have, in some way, shape or form, been touched by Daft Punk. Beyond the obvious (LCD Soundsystem, Justice, Digitalism), groups such as Phoenix, Empire of the Sun, Neon Indian, Lemaitre, Hot Chip and Flight Facilities, to name a few, have all plugged into the [...]
