Three large-scale works for viola and orchestra feature on the new recording by violist Adrien La Marca with the Liège Royal Philharmonic. Musically, a programme must tell a story: here the viola becomes the central hero of each work, in an almost cinematographic adventure. A hero who roams from the heart of Russian ballet music with Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, through the lyricism of interwar English music with Walton’s Viola Concerto, to music of today by the Belgian composer Gwenaël Mario Grisi, whose On the Reel is literally ‘scripted’, written directly from analysis of film scenarios. Epic sweep, passions, contrasts . . . Everything you might expect from a great adventure movie is there in this music. Moments of powerful lyricism, love and tenderness, inner struggles, combats or doubts.

This is the story of two young musicians who met during the Coronavirus lockdown, of all things. Daniel Hope invited the French violist Adrien La Marca to appear on his Arte programme “Hope@home” last December. For the first time, his duo partner was the German-Greek pianist Danae Dörken. And already the idea was born: why not work together on a new project that transcends the frontiers of countries and musical genres? The result was a new programme featuring classical music, French traditional music, film music and chansons, which the pair have now recorded…

Adrien Chicot – City Walk (2018)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 32:20 minutes | 699 MB | Genre: Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Gaya Music Production
On “City Walk”, recorded by Philippe Gaillot and Lucas Debieve Studio Recall in June 2018, Adrien Chicot assumes all compositions and arrangements. With his two friends Sylvain Romano and Jean-Pierre Arnaud, he strives to explore all dimensions of music. Rich harmonic climates welcome the melodies that happily unfold over the pieces. The pregnant pulsatile dimension is carried by an attentive and reactive rhythm section, always in total collusion with the leader. The trio turns as one man!
Bop and hard-bop have no secrets for the pianist but he constantly renews his inspiration. An outstanding rhythmist, he directs his remarks towards poetic and sensitive countries. His fertile imagination gives him pianistic changes of scenery that make him find the territories of some of his elders (Monk, Ellington Corea, McCoy Tyner …).

Adrien Brandeis – Euforia (2017)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 47:02 minutes | 524 MB | Genre: Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Adrien Brandeis Music
“Euforia” is the debut album of French pianist and composer Adrien Brandeis. He brings an effortless pianistic urbanity and lyricism to all of the items on this disc. His rumbas and mambos are played with buoyant, aristocratic grace and psychological ambiguity and he is (rightly) almost insolently effortless, bringing debonair virtuosity and swagger when it comes to the unravelling and the sassy Afro-Cuban tumbao and swing. All in all this is music inhabited from deep inside the Afro-Cuban idiom, evoked as few young musicians can even hope to try.

FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/88,2 kHz | Time – 52:49 minutes | 1,00 GB | Genre: R&B, Soul, Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Jazz Is Dead
The American Negro is an unapologetic critique, detailing the systemic and malevolent psychology that afflicts people of color. This project dissects the chemistry behind blind racism, using music as the medium to restore dignity and self-worth to my people. It should be evident that any examination of black music is an examination of the relationship between black and white America. This relationship has shaped the cultural evolution of the world and its negative roots run deep into our psyche. Featuring various special guests performing over a deeply soulful, elaborate orchestration, The American Negro reinvents the black native tongue through this album and it’s attendant short film (TAN) and 4-part podcast (invisible Blackness). The American Negro – both as a collective experience and as individual expressions – is insightful, provocative and inspiring and should land at the center of our ongoing reckoning with race, racism and the writing of the next chapter of American history.

In the four years since the release of Something About April, Adrian Younge has been coined America’s black genius: the evocation of analog vestige in a digital era. His majestic music has garnered him reverence, likened to Ennio Morricone’s best work and the Beatles’ tenacity to create new sounds. Making an indelible impression on modern vinyl heads and producers alike (having been sampled by DJ Premier, Jay-Z, Common, 50 Cent) the Something About April brand is an axiom to the modern “Breakbeat”, and Linear Labs is happy to announce its successor. Something About April II will replace the former as a holy grail for producers and collectors alike…
