VINIL Edition Malija: The Day I Had Everything

2015

MARK LOCKHEART - saxofoane, bas clarinet
JASPER HØIBY - contrabas
LIAM NOBLE - pian

“Malija delivers the expected deliciously abstruse riches a-plenty, peppered with humour, melodic wit, irregular groove and a vivid descriptive quality.” MOJO (UK) ****

“The album has a very personal feel to it contributed to by Lockheart’s gorgeously easy sax tone and the natural sympatico of the group…they are all on top form here…fantastic players, great compositions and a really good group ethos…a great album…” RADIO CARDIFF (UK)

“The title track is no less than a ray of sunshine on a wet, cloudy day and makes for ideal winter listening to recharge the soul. In general, the music is optimistic and encompassing in nature and a bright future seems assured for this trio.” UK VIBE (UK)

VINIL Edition Tim Garland: Return To The Fire

TIM GARLAND saxofon tenor si sopran, bas clarinet
GERARD PRESENCER - trompeta, flugelhorn
JASON REBELLO - pian, Fender Rhodes
JEREMY STACEY - tobe
MICK HUTTON - contrabas

+
TOM FARMER - contrabas
LAWRENCE COTTLE - bas electric
JAMES MADDREN - tobe

‘The result is fresh, cool and invigorating, often evoking classic period Wayne Shorter, particularly on Abiding Love…This is a bold, swinging, beautifully-crafted piece with a great doubled melody from the horns, and fine soloing from Garland, Presencer and Rebello. It’s full of dynamic variety, and long enough at over nine minutes to create moods both light and shady.’ LONDON JAZZ (UK)

‘The ballads have what it takes to be played in jazz bars ….For eyes, fingers and ears a superb product that Jazz fans of the gentle variety ( with a subtle fusion link ) may like.’ RAGAZZI MUSIC (DE)

VINIL ECM Records Keith Jarrett / Dennis Russell Davies: Ritual

1977

Dennis Russell Davies - pian

AllMusic: "Keith Jarrett does not actually play on this LP; rather, it is Dennis Russell Davies, a classical pianist and conductor with whom Jarrett collaborates frequently, who performs this 32-minute Jarrett composition on a grand piano.

Larry Grenadier’s The Gleaners is a profound and highly creative album, harvesting influences from many sources, its title inspired by Agnès Varda’s film The Gleaners and I.

VINIL ECM Records Jakob Bro, Thomas Morgan, Joey Baron: Bay Of Rainbows

2018

Jakob Bro - chitara
Thomas Morgan - contrabas
Joey Baron - tobe

“There is no hurry to this music, but there is great depth,” observed London Jazz News about Danish guitarist Jakob Bro’s trio with two kindred-spirit Americans: bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Joey Baron. This poetically attuned group follows its ECM studio album of 2016, Streams – which The New York Times lauded as “ravishing” – with what Bro calls “a dream come true,” an album recorded live in New York City, over two nights at the Jazz Standard. Bay of Rainbows rolls on waves of contemplative emotion as the three musicians explore five pieces from the guitarist’s catalog, with the gorgeous “Copenhagen” a favorite reprised from Gefion, Bro’s 2015 ECM release.

VINIL ECM Records Dominic Miller: Absinthe

2019

Dominic Miller - chitara
Santiago Arias - bandoneon
Mike Lindup - pian
Nicolas Fiszman - contrabas
Manu Katche - tobe

With Absinthe, his second release for ECM, guitarist Dominic Miller has created an album colored by a distinct atmosphere. “The first thing that came to me before I wrote any tunes was the title,” he says. “Living in the South of France, I am fascinated by Impressionism. Sharp light and witchy mistrals, combined with strong alcohol and intense hangovers must have driven some of these artists toward insanity. Skies that are green, faces blue, perspective distorted.” While Miller’s ECM debut, Silent Light, emphasized intimacy in solo and duo settings, Absinthe finds the guitarist fronting a quintet that brings his ever-lyrical compositions to textured life.

VINIL ECM Records Bill Frisell / Thomas Morgan: Small Town

2017 -
Bill Frisell - chitara electrica
Thomas Moran - contrabas

But, most importantly, Small Town represents the guitarist's first recorded encounter with Thomas Morgan in the intimate setting of a duo, the double bassist having first shown up on Frisell's film soundtrack homage, When You Wish Upon a Star (Okeh, 2016). As superb as When You Wish Upon a Star undeniably is, it's in the more naked, completely vulnerable environs of the duo—where the need for musical trust is, perhaps, at its most crucial—that the profound chemistry shared by these two thoroughly synchronized players becomes even clearer.

VINIL Edition Snowpoet: Thought You Knew

2018

Thought You Knew is the second album from Snowpoet, the London based band led by the writing duo of Jazz FM Vocalist of the Year (2016) Lauren Kinsella and composer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Hyson. Born out of a deep musical friendship and mutual understanding, Snowpoet’s acclaimed eponymous debut released in 2016 won rave reviews and a devoted audience with its compelling sound, drawing comparisons with Bjork.

“Snowpoet knows how to leave a beautiful, poetic impression in a good half hour. If you make a little effort, you will have a wonderful growing-on-you disc here. One that you’ll go back to again and again. In the long run, this is the kind of album you often look back to.” WRITTEN IN MUSIC (NL)

“Thought You Knew offers a delicately haunting collection of songs that seamlessly straddle the boundaries of folk, jazz and popular music and are all infused with, as the name suggests, a subtle poetic delivery.” ALL ABOUT JAZZ (UK)

“An album that evokes memory, loss, hope and more, and one that never fails to leave its alluring melodic mark, Thought You Knew is a beautiful statement of the heart.” THE ARTS DESK (UK)

VINIL Universal Records Beck - Odelay

1995

Lacquer Cut By – Bernard Grundman

Rolling Stone: "Like the Beasties, Beck is among the few white-boy hip-hop wanna-be’s with a clue. He truly understands the tenuous thread that connects funk to punk, hip-hop to art rock, and jazz to country blues, and is able to cram his encyclopedic knowledge of 20th-century musical styles into three- and four-minute nuggets of pure pop. But as “Loser” made clear, Beck’s avant-garde, mix-and-mingle approach is not just an intellectual exercise. When he chants, “I got two turntables and a microphone,” over a funky keyboard line and a midtempo drum track on Odelay’s “Where It’s At,” he does so with such giddy enthusiasm you can practically see him rifling through his electro-funk collection for the perfect Afrika Bambaataa groove. It’s nothing short of the sort of passionate fandom that emanates from Keith Richards’ country- and blues-inspired guitar licks on Exile on Main St. or from Bob Dylan’s Jack Kerouac-by-way-of-Woody Guthrie crooning on Highway 61 Revisited."

VINIL Universal Records Sonic Youth - Dirty

1992

AllMusic: "When DGC Records signed Nirvana in 1991, one of DGC's A&R reps expressed the opinion that, with plenty of touring and the right promotion, the new act might sell as well as its labelmate and touring partner Sonic Youth.

Dirty was also Sonic Youth's most overtly political album, railing against the abuses of the Reagan/Bush era on "Youth Against Fascism," "Swimsuit Issue," and "Chapel Hill," a surprising move from a band so often in love with cryptic irony. Heard today, Dirty doesn't sound like a masterpiece (like Daydream Nation) or a gesture toward the mainstream audience (like Goo) -- it just sounds like a damn good rock album, and on those terms it ranks with Sonic Youth's best work.

VINIL Universal Records Peter Gabriel - Birdy

1985

Birdy - Music from the Film by Peter Gabriel - 2xLP 180 gram Vinyl - 45rpm Half-Speed Remaster, Numbered Limited Edition, Includes Hi-Res Download Card

AllMusic : "AllMusic : "Peter Gabriel's first foray into soundtracks was for Alan Parker's contemplative film Birdy and is a successful companion piece, providing a backdrop that is moody and evocative. Nearly half of the album's dozen tracks incorporate threads from material found on Gabriel's 1982 Security set, including "Close Up," which makes use of keyboard passages from "Family Snapshot," and "The Heat," which is a reworking of "The Rhythm of the Heat" and builds to a frenzied percussive crescendo.

VINIL Universal Records Charlie Haden - Liberation Music Orchestra

1970

Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, Perry Robinson, Don Cherry, Andrew Cyrille, Paul Motian, Gato Barbieri, Roswell Rudd, Mike Mantler, Carla Bley

A fascinating reissue that comfortably straddles the lines of jazz, folk, and world music, working up a storm by way of a jazz protest album that points toward the Spanish Civil War in particular and the Vietnam War in passing. Haden leads the charge and contributes material, but the real star here may in fact be Carla Bley, who arranged numbers, wrote several, and contributed typically brilliant piano work. Also of particular note in a particularly talented crew is guitarist Sam Brown, the standout of “El Quinto Regimiento/Los Cuatro Generales/Viva la Quince Brigada,” a 21-minute marathon.

VINIL Universal Records Roxy Music - Stranded

1973

Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera, Paul Thompson, Eddie Jobson

Lacquer Cut By – Miles Showell
Mastered By – Bob Ludwig


AllMusic: " Without Brian Eno, Roxy Music immediately became less experimental, yet they remained adventurous, as Stranded illustrates. Under the direction of Bryan Ferry, Roxy moved toward relatively straightforward territory, adding greater layers of piano and heavy guitars. Even without the washes of Eno's synthesizers, Roxy's music remains unsettling on occasion, yet in this new incarnation, they favor more measured material, whether it's the reflective "A Song for Europe" or the shifting textures of "Psalm." Even the rockers, such as the surging "Street Life" and the segmented "Mother of Pearl," are distinguished by subtle songwriting that emphasizes both Ferry's tortured glamour and Roxy's increasingly impressive grasp of sonic detail.

VINIL Universal Records Nick Drake: Five Leaves Left

It's little wonder why Drake felt frustrated at the lack of commercial success his music initially gathered, considering the help he had on his debut record. Besides fine production from Joe Boyd and assistance from folks like Fairport Convention's Richard Thompson and his unrelated bass counterpart from Pentangle, Danny Thompson, Drake also recruited school friend Robert Kirby to create most of the just-right string and wind arrangements. His own performance itself steered a careful balance between too-easy accessibility and maudlin self-reflection, combining the best of both worlds while avoiding the pitfalls on either side. The result was a fantastic debut appearance, and if the cult of Drake consistently reads more into his work than is perhaps deserved, Five Leaves Left is still a most successful effort.
