fascinating collaboration between NEA Jazz Master saxophonist Charles Lloyd and
acclaimed singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams.Together they weave several
threads of American music (Jazz, Blues, Americana, Country & Rock) into an
uplifting new musical hybrid. The new gospel-infused song “We’ve Come Too Far
To Turn Around” is available now to stream or download. The Marvels are Bill
Frisell on guitar, Greg Leisz on pedal steel guitar, Reuben Rogers on bass, and
Eric Harland on drums.
Eight-time Grammy award winning musician and reggae icon
Ziggy Marley has released his seventh full-length solo studio album entitled Rebellion Rises. Fully written, recorded and
produced by Marley, this passionate and indelible new collection of music
encourages people to stand together in activism through love. “The rebellion
begins in the mind, the melody, and the music,” assures Ziggy. “We are a
conduit of that. The rebellion is consciousness. Now the consciousness starts
spreading, we become aware and we rise.” No track embodies this message better
than the album’s title track and official first single Rebellion Rises. A
manifesto with a chant-like chorus, the song emboldens its listeners to use the
power we all have as instruments of positive change around the world. “The
better side of humanity, cannot let the side of humanity that push negativity
and hatred be more willing,” Marley explained in a recent interview. “It cannot
happen. It’s a battle of wills. We’ve got to have more will.” Rebellion Rises
marks Ziggy’s first studio release in two years, following 2016’s critically
acclaimed self-titled project which took home the 2016 Grammy award for Best
Reggae Album and marked his fourth consecutive debut at #1 on the Billboard Top
Reggae Album Chart.
Horatio Luna – Cultural Warriors
Horatio Luna drops a new EP entitled Cultural Warriors 12”. This
record features the innovations of jazz-soul-bap producer/instrumentalists Nap
King Cole (Silent Jay x Jace XL), Perrin Moss (Hiatus Kaiyote) and Ziggy
Zeitgeist (Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange) who have each, in their own
right, re-created and re-invented the ideology of what it means to be a jazz
musician in the modern age. "A meandering exploration of smoky textures
and warm atmospherics that, in its soulful essence, captures the scratchy
spirit of Detroit luminaries like Moodymann, Terrence Parker, and Mike
Huckaby". - Pitchfork
