Picking up where 2024's "Stanco's Time" left off, trumpeter Anthony Stanco's 3rd album resides in the gritty, soulful world of hard bop. Captured live at Traverse City's The Alluvion-a space brimming with energy & history-the album channels the immediacy and fire of a great night on the bandstand, with the compositions drawing inspiration from the waters surrounding the town and echoing the spirit of the venue itself. Pianist and club founder Jeff Haas plays a pivotal role in the project, contributing both an original composition and the album's liner notes. Visual artist Lisa Flahive adds another layer to the experience, painting the album's cover live during the performance.

Blessed & Bewitched is a deeply personal reflection of Vienna vocalist Maja Jaku's artistic spirit. Growing up immersed in the sounds of jazz with her trumpet player father, and later through studies with mentors at the Graz Conservatory—including Mark Murphy, Sheila Jordan, Andy Bey and Jay Clayton—Jaku's art evolved through her life-long devotion to the jazz legacy continuum. With encouragement from drummer Johnathan Blake, Jaku assembled an extraordinary ensemble to mark this period of her path and recorded this, her fifth album, in New York City along with Blake, bassist Dezron Douglas, pianist Alan Bartuš, and trumpeter Michael Rodriguez. Co-producer/drummer Adrian Varady also performed on a track that he composed. Jaku invites listeners into this set of five original songs and two classics, providing a journey through a space of reflection, connection, and emotional honesty.

A prolific, Emmy Award-winning composer and pianist, Michael Whalen's impressive career has spanned numerous genres and platforms, from albums of jazz, classical, varied electronic music, and new age music to work on film scores, television themes, audio books, and commercials. After devoting much of the 1990s to material for the screen and early solo recordings such as 1996’s acclaimed Nightscenes, a collection of ambient electronic vignettes, he increased focus on his own classical compositions. The 2000s brought continued work on television documentaries including the series Nature, as well as eclectic solo albums that traversed instrumental piano pieces, electronic music, and piano jazz.

A bold new chapter from one of the UK's most uplifting voices. Sam Ryder, BRIT and Emmy-nominated, critically acclaimed singer, songwriter and global phenomenon, returns with Heartland - his long-awaited second studio album. Following a whirlwind rise to fame with "Space Man", a #1 debut album, stadium shows, and a triumphant Glastonbury debut, Sam steps into a more intimate and emotionally raw phase of his artistry.

Rianne Downey is a writer, guitarist, performer and golden-voiced singer whose passion for country, folk and more has instinctively propelled her - via accidentally astute use of social media and authentically viral acclaim - to the creation of ‘The Consequence Of Love’, a storming and seductive debut album recorded with producer Ryan Hadlock (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlisle) in Seattle’s Bear Creek Studio. In 2023, after being approached by Paul Heaton, Rianne went from playing to 300 people in Glasgow’s King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut to headlining in front of 30,000 people at Warrington’s Neighbourhood festival. And the rest, as they say, is hysteria, with Downey continuing to perform with Heaton across 2023, into 2024 to his slot opening the main stage at last year’s Glastonbury and through 2025 including a landmark gig at Paul’s beloved Bramall Lane - the home of Sheffield United. In the midst of all this… last spring Rianne Downey spent a month in Seattle, recording ‘The Consequence Of Love’. It’s an album in which she gloriously leans into her love of folk and country, notably Townes Van Zandt, her parallel passion for Scottish and Irish culture, and into her ability to craft an instantly hummable melody.

These three superb string quartets by one of our finest composers showcase the refined artistry of a remarkably talented ensemble. MELENCOLIA is an album to cherish, a recording that lovers of fine music will appreciate for years to come.

Atua Blues is the meeting of two rare talents, two diverse yet highly complementary cultures, and a deeply rooted desire to blend it all into a kind of communal pot where blues (for the backbone), soul (for the interpretation), and country (for the "exotic" touch) come together to give birth to an album that is simply exceptional. Atua Blues thus brings together Grant Haua, the brilliant Maori bluesman who needs no introduction, and David Noël, the charismatic singer of the Supersoul Brothers, the Paubased band everyone is talking about. Carried by standout tracks such as "River Blues," "No Competition," "I Get The Blues," "What Have We Done," and the moving rendition of "Amazing Grace," this "Two Roots" lives up to its name beautifully, marking a summit encounter of two cultures bound by a shared passion-a sentiment perfectly encapsulated by the surprising cover of "My Sweet Lord," sung in English, Maori, and Occitan.

As often happens, the story begins with Bach at the Loussiers' house.

Jean-Baptiste, one of the sons of the famous French composer Jacques Loussier, began learning the piano, music theory and Johann Sebastian Bach at a very early age.

Clarice Jensen releases her fourth solo album, In holiday clothing, out of the great darkness, on 17 October 2025 via FatCat Records’ 130701 imprint. The new album showcases Jensen’s distinctive compositional approach, in which she improvises and layers her cello through shifting loops and a chain of electronic effects, exploring a series of rich, drone-based sound fields. Pulsing, visceral and full of color, her work is deeply immersive, marked by a wonderful sense of restraint and an almost hallucinatory clarity.
