North East Ska Jazz Orchestra – Sulla Rotta Dei Venti (LP)
18,90 €*
''Sulla Rotta Dei Venti'' (On the Route of the Winds) is the brand-new
album of Italian ska-jazz maestros North East Ska*Jazz Orchestra
(NESJO). A collection of eleven own-penned original tracks, written and
composed between 2020 and 2023, that frames a new chapter in the
ten-year career of the band. In this record, NESJO bravely explores
other worlds through music, which, as we know, is always also an inner
quest. It is at the same time an effort to place their own music at the
centre of the time and space in which they live, even at the cost of
going beyond the stylistic limits linked to the band's chosen musical
genre. Although, these new 11 cuts are built around rhythms that are
undeniably of Jamaican origin, melodies are tainted with music from
other traditions and sometimes also feature pop elements. Somehow, in
this new album, NESJO has chosen to let the jazz big-band out of the
orchestra pit and to mix with the popular sound of the street. Through
the tracks of the record, NESJO creates mixed ensembles with the use of
instruments such as strings, accordion, flute, clarinet, horn, tuba…
together with the band's regular branding of sax, trumpets and
trombones. Another novelty of this work is that the non-instrumental
tracks are sung in Italian by the three singers Freddy Frenzy, Michela
Grena and Rosa Mussin. And the musical journey takes us to exotic but at
the same time very close sounds in 21st century Europe: Balkan (“Piazza
Della Liberta”, “CiganSka #1”), Arabic (“Petrolio”), African (“Nimi
Muzima”), Italian (“Roma Tokyo Paris”), and ska (“Donna Di Chi”) and a
sophisticated ska-jazz suite (“Sulla Rotta Dei Venti”). The opening
words of the first track of the album give us a glimpse of the feeling
of vindication, brotherhood and hope contained in this set of songs:
"Where is the empathy for those in difficulty / in the streets of
Trieste that shout with vitality / indifference hearts of stone / dense
black Balkan agony".

Keith & Tex – Gun Life (LP)
18,90 €*
Many
reggae music historians feel that the rocksteady period of Jamaican
music only lasted for a brief period of time from the years 1966 to
about 1968. Clearly, they have not been in tune with what the legendary
rocksteady duo of Keith & Tex have been up to in this modern era of
reggae music. Since reuniting in the late 1990’s, Keith & Tex have
released four albums of original material grounded in the solid
foundation of the sound called rocksteady, with their newest album, ‘Gun
Life’, being number five, following that same traditional path. During
this reformation and reconnection of these longtime childhood friends
from Kingston, Jamaica, Keith & Tex have traveled the globe
thrilling audiences in the US, Mexico, South America, Japan and across
the European continent with their version of modern rocksteady. Their
performances are full of mega hits of the 1960’s like 'Stop That Train,'
‘Tonight’, 'Don’t Look Back,' and 'Down The Street,' as well as the new
songs they have penned, embrace timeless themes that always play well
to audiences young and old.
‘Gun
Life' is another collaboration with the highly regarded and proficient
producer from Spain, Roberto Sanchez, and his Lone Ark Riddim Force. The
band backs Keith & Tex with authentic, bubbly, driving rocksteady
riddims freshly created for this project. The music carries the gamut of
universal topics of life such as the trials and tribulations of love
with songs like 'She’s Gone' and 'Gave You My Heart.' The track 'Give Me
One Reason,' where Babylon has taken the resources of Africa under
false pretenses -- 'Give me one good reason to trust you...the good book
in one hand and a weapon in the other'-- is an example of a song that
gives a common theme a new twist.

Pachyman - Another Place (LP)
26,90 €*
- Blue Vinyl
Limitiertes blaues Vinyl! Über vier Alben hinweg hat sich Pachyman als
meisterhafter Handwerker des Dub-Reggae bewiesen. Inspiriert von
Legenden wie King Tubby und Scientist, nutzt er Vintage-Equipment,
erschafft monumentale Klangwelten und versteht intuitiv die hypnotische
Kraft der Wiederholung. Mit 'Another Place' geht er einen Schritt
weiter: Er verbindet Dub mit den vielfältigen Einflüssen moderner Musik -
von der Synth-Pop-Ästhetik eines William Onyeabor und Yellow Magic
Orchestra bis hin zu den tiefen, atmosphärischen Klängen von Basic
Channel’s Dub-Techno. Ein Album, das Tradition ehrt und zugleich neue
Klangräume erschließt.
