They say the only thing better than listening to the album O'o by John Zorn's Dreamers is listening to it live. Today we have a couple of songs from O’o, one of which is a live performance of the now classic “Little Bittern” from Marciac in 2010. We envy everyone that will get to experience this magic for the first time.

A Baltic-flavoured mystery. Music, clean and poetic like an old Marc Zaharov movie, full of magic, where the world is four dimensional. This is the second album of Igor Timofeev, Oleg Shar and Oleg Belov or WTTC.

In the midst of the winter season we are happy about the programme of the New York Winter Jazzfest, and we are listening to the new material all the participants have to offer. Each January, likeminded people gather in New York and share music and ideas, and inspire and charge each other. The festival is an image of the contemporary scene — alive and rebellious, full of new and different ideas. 

The star of Kokoroko rose suddenly with the release of We Out Here, where the London DJ and producer Gilles Peterson decided to compile new music with a focus on Africa. We Out Here comes to an end with the single Abusey Junction. From then until today - just for this one year the single has gained over 34 Million times on YouTube.

Today we talk about an English man from Barbados, a tall dark figure, the carrier of change in not just the London, but also the global jazz scene. This is not the first time an artist decided he had different things to say via different bands. And we like this format. Because that is when the different faces of music appear.

The music today is definitely not background music. The music is on focus and it touches the senses. We listen to the Brian Marsella trio – Brian Marsella on the piano, Trevor Dunn on the bass, and Kenny Wollesen on drums. That’s it. This definition in one of the pieces makes it clear enough – Facebook Stalker! A mind that can come up with such a comparison deserves our admiration.
