Since the group was founded 25 years ago, the career of Aka Moon has been punctuated by a myriad of original musical encounters. After their initiatory journey with the Aka Pygmies in 1992, an unappeased desire has always nourished the research of the three accomplices: the wish to share the knowledge, experience and secrets of other musicians from all backgrounds. Today, the necessity of the original trio is again expressed in NOW with the exceptional playing quality that has been acquired and refned over the course of numerous concerts. For although Aka Moon was undeniably born with a unique sound, the group has always made it evolve, absorbing, in particular, rhythms from the Orient, Africa or India.

Two leading artists team up and bring together a selection of violin and piano masterpieces, performed in an outstanding and insightful way. Debussy’s sonata, composed in the last years of the French composer’s life, is full of sensuosity, while Janáček’s four-movement sonata is full of nationalistic feelings and of intense fragmentary gestures. The recording closes with Richard Strauss’s monumental and overtly romantic sonata, composed by the great German composer when still in his early twenties.

We can unashamedly say that Iturriagagoitia and Bagaría give one of the finest performances of these works and we truly believe this recording is a must have!

Mozarts Violin Concertos need little introduction from No. 3 in G major featuring the 19-year-old Mozart at his elegant, witty and beguilingly changeable best, to the Sinfonia Concertante the string concerto masterpiece with its masterly mixture of noble strength and tender lyricism, these are some of Mozarts most well-known and best-loved works. Handel and Haydn Society with their inspirational Concertmaster, Aisslinn Nosky, bring Mozarts musical magic to life in these live recordings from Bostons glorious Symphony Hall.

Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and currently residing in Beverly, Massachusetts, violinist, vocalist and songwriter Aisha Burns began playing violin when she was 10 years old, and has been touring and recording since 2006. Soon after moving to Austin in 2005, she gained her start with folk-rock outfit Alex Dupree and the Trapdoor Band, and joined the instrumental ensemble Balmorhea on violin in 2007. After years of secret singing, she released her solo debut Life in the Midwater in 2013. Called “twisting, ethereal…arresting” by Dazed Magazine, and praised for its “delicate intimacy” by NPR, Life in the Midwater explored mortality and relationships with candor and wisdom. Her new album Argonauta, is a collection of songs about her struggle with the grief of losing her mother, while also navigating a new relationship, and ultimately trying to figure out what the new normal is for her life.

The late Oscar Menzel, who recorded as Airwaves, left a significant legacy that the electronic music community has routinely failed to acknowledge or come to grips with. An admirer and obvious colleague-in-spirit to pioneers Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Robert Schroeder, Pete Namlook, and so many other recognized synthi boffins, Menzel’s small but important catalog bristles with enough ideas to fill dozens of albums, accomplishing within a mere handful of recordings what lesser artists spend a lifetime attempting. The follow-up to his earlier Carpe Sonum issue Biomechanical, Multiverse represents his unreleased fourth work, and as part of his broader oeuvre, will undoubtedly go down as one helluva swan song. Utilizing a vast array of then-contemporary equipment—his gear list reads like a portfolio of the finest analog creations birthed by Moog, Korg, Ensoniq and Roland—Multiverse is a synth fetishist’s wet dream, a kaleidoscopic trip down the alleyways of both Menzel’s soundmakers and his hyperkinetic-embodied imagination. Gear aside, none of these pieces in any way act like demonstration tracks for would-be weekend synth warriors; there’s a devilish muse at work here, a symbiotic relationship between player and module, a literal man-machine. The high-energy photons Menzel prods from his devices are nothing short of astounding, the actual compositions bordering on revolutionary—never one to become merely a sum of his influences, Menzel literally ignites these dazzling excursions with a deft sweep of hand, diamond-sharp prisms fragmenting every blip, bleep, bulge, and blush into a million points of interplanetary light. Travelling the spaceways like no other, both Multiverse and the entire Airwaves catalog sports a cadre of visionary achievements that are utterly magical to behold.

Édouard Ferlet has already explored intriguing byways for the Alpha label: in 2015 he and Violaine Cochard recorded ‘Plucked Unplucked’, an album associating piano and harpsichord – a successful venture that will soon see a follow-up. The bassist Stéphane Kerecki has already made several recordings for Outhere, including ‘Nouvelle Vague’, a prizewinner at the Victoires de la Musique. The career of the trumpet player Airelle Besson has been on a high since 2015, when she won both the Prix Django Reinhardt of the Académie du Jazz and the ‘Révélation’ Award at the Victoires du Jazz. These three jazz musicians met and decided to form a trio in order to combine their universes and their ambitions. Here is the fruit of their first year of companionship, a programme presenting compositions by each of them, an album wearing the colours of jazz but featuring several tracks directly inspired by great standards of the classical repertoire, including ‘Es ist vollbracht’ from Bach’s St John Passion, the Pavanes of Ravel and Fauré, the Valse sentimentale of Tchaikovsky, and Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance, which can be recognised behind the ‘Stances du sabre’. The refinement of the compositions and the playing and the musicians’ capacity for listening to each other are a source of endless pleasure and fulfilment.

Trumpeter Airelle Besson signs ” Try ! “, his second album as a leader. At the head of her quartet, which brings together singer Isabel Sörling on vocals, pianist Benjamin Moussay and drummer Fabrice Moreau, she offers a mesmerizing opus. Between aerial reverie and luminous counterjour, the ear floats and escapes the earthly attraction.

More than four years after “Radio One”, trumpeter and composer Airelle Besson returns with Isabel Sörling (vocals), Benjamin Moussay (piano, Fender Rhodes, bass synth) and Fabrice Moreau (drums). Born between the two confinements of 2020, ” Try ! “(Papillon Jaune/L’autre Distribution) is announced for February 05, 2021.

The quartet did more than try… it succeeded an album whose aerial repertoire enchants. The subtle tones of ” Try ! “dance between shadow and Light, Between Earth and space. Emotions are at the rendezvous.

L’idée de monter un quartet de ce genre n’est pas nouvelle pour la talentueuse Airelle Besson. En effet, elle avoue en 2014 (année des premières répétitions avec le groupe) qu’elle avait passé les cinq années précédentes à potasser le sujet. Très rapidement l’alchimie entre les membres du groupe prend place et Airelle Besson affirme son choix de collaboration avec Benjamin Moussay (piano, synthé ) et Fabrice Moreau (batterie). La découverte de la perle rare se fera plus tard en la personne d’Isabel Sörling. La Scandinave à la voix d’agent utilise parfois son organe vocal comme un instrument, rendant le jazz mélodieux d’Airelle Besson encore plus aérien. Organique et minimaliste de bout en bout, l’ensemble musical de Radio One est gracieux et délicat. En plaçant l’émotion au cœur du projet, le quartet transforme son jazz en nuage où les auditeurs prendront plaisir à se poser. Formation atypique pour la nouvelle étoile de la trompette française, cette formation offre un véritable bol d’air créatif à la musicienne récemment récompensée.

Black Dog Barking, the band’s triumphant new album, is a ferocious declaration of all that it means to feel truly alive in service to the great spirit of Rock N’ Roll music. Their third studio recording is nothing less than the sum total of all that Airbourne has aspired to be since the band formed in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia ten years ago. Black Dog Barking is without a doubt one of the most honest Rock N’ Roll records out today.
