The other key Belgian figure is composer/arranger Francy Bo…
Sentiments
"Of all the American jazz artists who relocated to Europe and Scandinavia in the 1950s and 1960s, Sahib Shihab remains one of the most highly regarded and versatile, yet least celebrated. Although mostly known as a key member of the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band, Europe's leading big band of the 1960s, Shihab had a career that lasted 40 years characterised by an adaptability and individuality that marked him out as a player of exceptional skill on the baritone, alto and soprano saxophones …

Stars from Another Sky Pt. 1: Film Songs from the Subcontinent Before the World Was Torn Asunder, 1932-1939
"It may surprise some that, after two decades of silent films, when Alam Ara broke the silence in 1931, it and every South Asian talkie that followed was what we in the West think of as a "musical." Music had been integral to the culture's staged drama going back to the Gupta Dynasty — sometime between the 4 th and 6 th Century CE. Since its inception, South Asian cinema drew heavily from Marathi, Parsi, and Bengali musical theatre and silent film screenings were often accompanied by live music …
Album #1
Originally released in 1980 in very limited quantities, Salty Miller's sole album is a hidden gem of the Beach Music scene. Issued under the unwieldy Beach Music Records of the Carolinas, the album blends soul, disco, and mid-tempo steppers, all perfectly suited to Beach Music's signature dance, the Shag. The album was dreamt up after Miller had stepped away from the music industry, only to return years later, driven by a mix of disposable income and lingering creative regret. Determined to reco…

Night, falling
Gerald Eckert’s third release on Mode, night, falling, is a 2-CD set of mostly works for orchestra, often with electronics. Eckert says: “I am fascinated by orchestral works containing the structures of chamber music. For me, the definition of orchestra is not characterized by its large scale, but genuinely through its individual voices.”His music explores the marginal edges of sound, fractures in tonal constructs, crystalline solidification and instabilities which (for him) always symbolize exi…

Love Songs in Grams per Second
All sounds in this record were collected in solitary afternoons or sleepless nights, while studying electric guitar and effect boxes, an FM synth and a sampler, and were taken care of as if they were plants that you would move around the house to see where they like it best. Occasionally they met other sounds from far back in time, and they got along well. All these sounds talk to me of fragility and effort; to me they taste like gratitude and affection and joy. - FIlippo Mazzei
