Recorded in front of a rabid crowd at The Garage in London, this release is a white hot testament to the exhilarating live Kingfish experience. Christone is in masterful control whether blasting out molten, rock-infused riffs or picking the bluesiest single notes this side of heaven. At 16 songs and 109 minutes long, it’s a motherlode of blues magic, and the set list is a fan’s dream show, including “Outside Of This Town,” “662,” “Another Life Goes By” and a new, previously unrecorded song, “Midnight Heat.” “Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram has already made his mark as one of the best, and undoubtedly most exciting, blues guitarists in the world.”

Japan has produced some exceptionally talented jazz drummers and among them is Tatsuya Nakamura, who joins the BBE Music J Jazz Masterclass Series with his album ‘Locus’ from 1984, a session covering several bases, from heavy percussive samba to meditative avant-ambient. This is the album’s first ever reissue, although a track from ‘Locus’, ‘1⁄4 Samba’, was included on J Jazz vol. 3.

It’s been nearly eight years since the last Mondo Drag album came out. In that time, the Bay Area psych-prog band toured the US and Europe, performed at major festivals and - once again - reformed their rhythm section. But in the context of the band’s nearly two-decade existence, this period may have been the most fraught. Vocalist and keyboardist John Gamiño lost friends and family members. Meanwhile, humanity suffered the throes of a global pandemic.

In Flight, BNL’s eighteenth studio album, retains the dry wit and keen observation we expect from vocalist/guitarist Ed Robertson, bassist Jim Creeggan, keyboardist/guitarist Kevin Hearn and drummer Tyler Stewart, but adds a strong sense of maturing and lessons learned. There is also a sense of joy (which is exemplified in the first single, “Lovin’ Life) and appreciation. On the new single, “One Night”, BNL honor “…the magical connection that happens between a whole audience and a band.”

“A superb improvising trio that manages to balance innovation and history in equal measures. Island Song will not remind you of any of the jazz greats, but it will make you aware of them, even as it unfolds its own wings and takes flight.” (Brian Morton)

We do not live our lives in straight lines. At any given age, we are both our current self and each of our past moments; an accumulation of every emotion, experience, or connection that has brought us closer to ourselves and our communities.
