Here’s a new album from 33-year old Italian pianist Silvio Caroli. In May 2016, Caroli won a prize in an italian music competition and the prize was a CD recording. This release, entitled Flowing, is a result of those sessions. There are six tracks in total: Into the Dark (8:03); Martha (4:45); Part of Your World (7:19); Beirut (4:11); And Sammy Walked In (3:12); and PorzGoret (5:26).
Violinist and composer Layale Chaker's debut album
"Inner Rhyme" is woven as a suite that explores aesthetics of Arabic
poetry. Composed between Beirut, Paris and London over the past two years and
recorded in New York over the summer of 2018, the album unveils musical threads
that are mapped through the rhythmical cycles of the twelve classical Arabic
poetic meters, the fluidity of oral and free forms, the abstraction of language
into the physical contour of verses and the percussive potential of words. Beyond
expression, the composition process tries to capture the shape and essence of
epic testimonials on life, death, war and love that make the heart of Arabic
poetry. "Inner Rhyme" was awarded the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture
2018 Grant.
Following the release of his last record Demi-Nuit in 2017,
Benjamin – who was named Révélation Radio-Canada Jazz 2017-2018 – puts together
the music collective No Codes. The quartet, made up of Deschamps (alto sax),
Frank Lozano (tenor sax), Sébastien Pellerin (bass) and Louis-Vincent Hamel
(drums), takes its inspiration freely from the standards of the great American
song book to recreate new compositions. Borrowing from the rhythms and the
colours from the Andes, Motown or even Free Jazz, No Codes offers a musical
research inspired from the Jazz tradition without actually copying it in its
form. The band, without any instrumental or harmonic support, bets on its
interaction, its listening and its spontaneity. The record No Codes is the
product of a collective work of research and a desire to explore and to push
the boundaries of music.
