Pk Jazz Collective – Analog

Pk Jazz Collective – Analog
[SCL203]

Pk Jazz Collective

“Analog”

Этот сборник песен готовился на протяжении последних двух лет. Как всегда Pk jazz Collective обращается к классике музыкального и поэтического наследия 20-го века. В этом альбоме вы услышите новое прочтение творчества мистиков The Doors и не так давно преставившегося легендарного русского поэта Евгения Евтушенко. Пластинка получила название “Аналог”, потому что ее запись сопровождалась использованием кассетной деки, вполне определившей качество звучания в стилистике домашних проектов 80-90-х годов прошлого столетия.

[SCL202]

Artem Bemba

“Agalma”

У: Гоплит, Коттаб, Пифос. Что это за названия такие?
А.Б.: Это тоже античные термины.
У: Античные, говоришь? Как и «агальма»?
А.Б.: Именно. Такую я выбрал концепцию.
У: Значит, говоришь, в альбоме есть какая то концепция?
А.Б.: Есть, но не четкая. Я её привязал к названиям песен и к самой музыке.
У: Но все таки она есть! Я внимательно слушаю!
А.Б.: Ну в общем как то так. Гоплит – античный пехотинец. Трек звучит грозно. Он о человеке на войне. Коттаб – античная алкогольная игра. Человек возвращается с войны и окунается в мир развлечений и алкоголя. Пифос – античная посуда. Диоген жил в пифосе. Развлечения не приносят человеку радости, и он, подобно Диогену, начинает жить в пифосе и стает кем то вроде мудреца. Что то типа того.

— Из материалов допроса Артема Бембы, проведенного 31.10.2018 уполномоченным Управления Синглов И Альбомов При Министерстве Звука и Музыки по поводу выхода его нового альбома AGALMA.

Melinda & Maciek – Jazz Frit

Melinda & Maciek – Jazz Frit
[LBN043]

Melinda & Maciek

“Jazz Frit”

Melinda & Maciek is a project started in February 2018 thanks to an accidental Instagram connection between 2 musicians. Melinda Ligeti is a composer/singer/multiinstrumentalist/arranger/producer from Serbia, living in Italy, while Maciek Cieslak is a drummer from Poland, living in France. It all started with Melinda’s old wish to write music based on a bare drum track. Maciek happened to have some ready, recorded drumparts that he sent to her, and she used them to build music upon it, using piano, synth and bass. It was an experimental approach to composition Melinda always wanted to try, and it finally happened. The result is 4 songs, mixing jazz, prog, fusion, chillout, contemporary… imagined as a mini album, giving the taste of what this project might become if developed further. 3 of them are instrumental, and one is also involving Maciek’s vocals that got caught on microphones while recording the drumpart, a selfironic song that makes fun of the hardship of singing and playing at the same time, in his native Polish language. Jazz Frit is a symbolic title for this album, for the fact that musicians involved are living in (Fr)ance and (It)aly, but also, and so much more, for the meaning of frit word, which by Oxford dictionary definition is the mixture of silica and fluxes which is fused at high temperature to make glass, plus – according to urban dictionary means intoxicating/exciting, as well as ligthly fried.

John Dikeman & Aleksander Skoric

“Live”

John Dikeman (2.3.83, Rushville, NE, USA) is an American saxophonist currently residing in Amsterdam. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, John’s playing runs the gamut of improvised music and technique. John has performed extensively in the Netherlands and USA as well as Canada, Brasil, Russia and throughout Europe and the Middle East.

John grew up in Wyoming and started performing professionally at the age of 16. Dikeman left Wyoming in 1999 to study saxophone and composition at the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy. John later attended Bennington College in Vermont to study with Milford Graves while at the same time studying privately with the late Joe Maneri. After Bennington, John moved to Boston, then New York City and Philadelphia. While on the east coast John performed extensively with many of the top musicians from the USA including Nate Wooley, Mike Pride, Daniel Carter, Tatsuya Nakatani, etc… In 2004 Dikeman moved to Cairo, Egypt where he worked full time as a professional musician and educator, leading numerous ensembles as well as freelancing in a wide range of settings that included performing as a soloist for the Cairo Symphony Orchestra and being a long term member of the band of Nubian pop star Mohamed Mounir. After Egypt, John moved briefly to Budapest, Hungary, then Paris, France and finally settled in Amsterdam in 2008.

Since moving to Amsterdam, Dikeman has performed with Joe McPhee, Jeb Bishop, Han Bennink, members of The Ex, Roy Campbell, Ab Baars, and many others. John has been very active in the Dutch improvised music scene as both a performer and curator. John was selected for the 2012 Young VIP tour which featured the trio Cactus Truck plus guests on tour throughout the Netherlands. John was invited to join Stichting Doek as a core artistic member in 2012. In the fall of 2012 Cactus Truck completed a 37 concert tour of the USA. Their performance at Zebulon in New York City earned them a place on Andrey Henkin’s list of Best Concerts of 2012 for the New York City Jazz Record.

Montague Armstrong – Hammond Hits

Montague Armstrong – Hammond Hits

Montague Armstrong

“Hammond Hits”

Imagine a world where the sounds of sixties testcard music and the sort of music played between working mens’ clubs acts had been picked up by aliens and then sent back to earth for an intergalactic knees-up around the Hammond organ….
Difficult? It may not have been Montague Armstrong’s intention, but that’s what this delightful, effervescent concoction of tunes makes me think of. Jude Cowan Montague’s effortlessly cheerful tunes and Matt Armstrong’s always immaculately well-placed electric bass make this an unusual, but definitely desirable item from Linear Obsessional and also marks the third release in LinOb’s new Cassette Imprint series.Released as a professionally duplicated cassette with a picture by Katy Binks and design by David Little,and as a free/name-your-price download.
