Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker Jr. was an American jazz trumpeter and vocalist. He is known for major innovations in cool jazz that led him to be nicknamed the "Prince of Cool". Baker earned much attention and critical praise through the 1950s, particularly for albums featuring his vocals: Chet Baker Sings (1954) and It Could Happen to You (1958). Jazz historian Dave Gelly described the promise of Baker's early career as "James Dean, Sinatra, and Bix, rolled into one". His well-publicized drug habit also drove his notoriety and fame.

"Astrophil & Stella" is the fruit of a life's devotion to the spirit and craft of 17th-century music. Harpsichordist, conductor, and composer Patrick Ayrton has delved into the intricate fabric of this era's compositions, unearthing its hidden mechanisms and timeworn secrets. The result is a song cycle of his own, for soprano and instrumental ensemble. Historically, the art of composing was not merely a skill but the very lifeblood of every musician, and to compose was to speak the language of the present. Thus, Patrick does not aim to simply revive the past, but to rekindle a tradition, one that hovers between memory and reinvention. In his hands, ancient forms breathe anew, woven with reverence, yet subtly imbued with his own artistic voice.

This studio album by the Brazilian superstar singer, songwriter, instrumentalist and bon vivant Ed Motta is produced by Kemau Kenyatta (Gregory Porter). His epic production features an all-star cast of West Coast musicians, including Patrice Rushen and Greg Phillinganes (keyboards), Hubert Laws (flute), Marvin 'Smitty' Smith (drums), Tony Dumas (bass) and Charles Owens (saxophone). 'Perpetual Gateways' mines the territory between Spiritual Jazz with a deep sense of soul and prog-rocking fusion and tells deeply poetic stories of life and love and the liberties we take with them. At the front and centre of it all is Ed Motta's unique voice and songwriting, leading us on a journey from groove gems through lost-love-ballads and on to energetic and effervescent jazz tunes.

Brazilian superstar Ed Motta returns with a new album in the form of ‘Criterion Of The Senses’, two years after his acclaimed ‘Perpetual Gateways’ release and the late 70s ‘Yacht soul’ vibe is in full effect here. Motta masters that balance between AOR and innovation with a nod to the likes of Steely Dan and co. especially on the bobbing groover ‘Lost Connection To Prague’. The Donny Hathaway feel of ‘Sweetest Berry’ gives the set a funky touch while the fusion fuelled ‘Novice Never Notice’ takes its cue from the Beckett/Fagan school of Jazz. ‘Your Satisfaction is Mine’ is a firey, boogie heavy dancer, ‘The Required Dress code’ again borrows from that luxurious, turn-of-the-80s L.A sound while the jazz guitar and brushed percussion of ‘The Tiki’s Broken There’ create a live beachside lounge atmosphere. Motta is a master of the cool, elegant, smooth groove with an edge.

“I like the way Oscar sings standards, and when I am of a mind to hear them in a pop groove, I wish he'd sing more often. You certainly can't fault his time or intonation, nor at any occasion, his intelligence.” Nat Hentoff (1957)

Aldina Duarte creates a new poetic and thematic language for her fado, with a disc written by Capicua – ‘Metade-Metade. Romance is no longer the central theme, giving way to a wider world of affections, other loves: music, poetry, books, nature, the passing of the baton, emotional inheritance, community sharing, what makes us people. An intense eulogy to life, to the music of words, to silence where melody and rhythm build unique sonorities that only fado has, through the instruments and arrangements that serve the voice of the artist’s unique poetry and interpretation.
