Norah Jones – Begin Again
On April 12, Norah Jones will release Begin Again, a
collection of singles that gathers 7 eclectic songs she has recorded over the
past year with collaborators including Jeff Tweedy, Thomas Bartlett, and Brian
Blade. Following her 2016 album Day Breaks, Norah returned to the studio with
the sole intent of following her muse down creative pathways without any
expectations or boundaries. Reveling in the joy and spontaneity of music-making
with a true spirit of openness, she got together with various friends for
brief, largely-improvised sessions to collaborate and experiment. Begin Again
will be released on 12” vinyl, CD, and digitally.
Zara McFarlane with Dennis Bovell – East of The River Nile

legendary Reggae & Dub producer Dennis Bovell. Also on production is the
incredible Moses Boyd ! Four reinterpretations of the title from Augustus
Pablo's 1977 classic album - ‘East of the River Nile’ available on LP & All
digital platforms on Brownswood Recordings.
Phresoul - Hipster Antichrist
The Word Was Made Phresh is the new EP from British-Italian
collaborative trio Phresoul on Khalab’s new label, Hyperjazz Records.
Consisting of seven instrumental tracks, the talent and versatility of one of
the most interesting new groups in jazz, hip-hop, and alternative-rock is
brought into sharp focus over the course of the record. The new project from
the trio, which is one third British and two thirds Italian, made up of Charlie
Stacey (piano, fender rhodes, synthesizer), David Paulis (double-bass) and
Enrico Truzzi (drums), dismantles jazz’s traditional rules, absorbs influences
and contemporary sounds and portrays the conflicts and contradictions of our
times with subtle irony. The record comes two years after the trio’s debut
release, Metempsychosis, and solidifies Phresoul’s sound, where noise-rock
improvisations meet neo-psychedelia, abstract hip-hop and space-jazz.
