Her latest, The Other Side Of Desire was written, recorded and rooted in the city of New Orleans, where Jones lives on the opposite side of the street made famous by Tennessee Williams. Produced by John Porter (of Roxy Music) and Mark Howard, this is the first new music Jones has written in over a decade. “This work is inspired by many years of sitting with all the events of my life until I had something to paint with,” says Rickie. “I came to New Orleans to write and to live a different way than what I have known on the west coast.” Tracks include: Jimmy Choos, Valtz De Mon Pere (Lovers’ Waltz), J’ai Connais Pas, Blinded By The Hunt, Infinity, I Wasn’t Here, Christmas In New Orleans, Haunted, Feet On The Ground,. Juliette, and Finale: (A Spider In The Circus Of The Falling Star).
PAAL NILSSEN-LOVE LARGE UNIT - ERTA ALE
Drummer Paal Nilssen-Love is a musician we're used to
hearing in smaller groups, and duo and solo sessions – but this time around, he
provides a stunning debut of his Large Unit – an 11 piece ensemble that really
brings out a whole new sound in Paal's music! Much of the record is improvised,
but there's also a larger sense of structure too – that balance between
ensemble direction and individual freedom that's run through groups from the
London Jazz Composers Orchestra to the Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet! The
range of expression is wonderful – much more full of color and tonal elements
than usual projects we've heard from Paal – definitely a new step forward – and
musicians include Thomas Johansson on cornet and flugelhorn, Mats Aleklint on
trombone, Kasper Vaernes on alto and soprano, Klaus Ellerhusen Holm on alto and
baritone, Borre Molstad on tuba, Ketil Gutvik on guitar, Lasse Marhaug on
electronics and turntable, Jon Rune Strom and Christian Meass Svendsen on
basses, and Andreas Wildhagen and Nilssen-Love on drums and percussion. ~ Dusty Groove
OLIVIA HIME - E AMIGOS
Olivia Hime sings here with some key "amigos" – on
a record that continues that wonderfully collaborative spirit we love in
Brazilian music! American artists hardly ever give themselves so openly – save,
perhaps, for hip hoppers looking to climb up the ladder with an appearance on
another record – but Brazilian singers and musicians are always ready to help
each other out – to check their egos at the door, and come together beautifully
on records like these – which often stand out as some of the most special
moments in their careers! Hime's great on her own – and we love her other
Biscoito Fino records – but there's really something special going on here, as
she works alongside Milton Nascimento, Edu Lobo, Chico Buarque, Dory Caymmi,
Djavan, and Lenine – all artists whose presence only seems to make Olivia more
at home in her own space. Titles include "Ultimo Retrato", "Cara
Bonita", "Fortaleza", "Morena Do Mar", "Pra Voce
Que Chora", "Barbara", and "Corpo Marinheiro". ~ Dusty Groove
