Collaboration is probably the best way for a musician to improve or discover something new. Doesn’t matter, collaborations with musicians or artists of another art form – the more the better. Needless to say, most of the artists understand this concept but the key is not to forget its importance in your daily life. Two friends – Donatas Petreikis and Karolis Šarkus– decided to collaborate. These musicians know each other for many years and spent countless hours on listening to records together, discussions and writing songs. Most of it would usually end up staying inside the studio but this time it was different. They have put all of their ideas with music on paper and out of love for jazz music “Collaborative Jazz Septet”.

The most comprehensive Bruckner Symphonies cycle, including all available versions. Bruckner’s Third Symphony was always something of a symphonic problem child, from its disastrous first performance (not with standing the enthusiastic reception it received from a young Gustav Mahler) until well into the 20th century. In its original form, it’s the longest, most Wagnerian of his symphonies that is often considered, rightly or wrongly, the first truly Brucknerian symphony. While some cherish the uncompromising originality of the first version, Bruckner himself preferred the much tighter 1889 third version, finding it “incomparably better”. This recording of that final version now enables listeners to decide for themselves.

There’s a moment during Y’Y, the breathtaking new album by Brazilian jazz pianist-composer Amaro Freitas, seemingly designed to clang its way through your eardrums and shock your psyche. It arrives halfway through the eight-minute adventure “Dança dos Martelos,” after Freitas has already offered three exquisitely-played set pieces on piano and prepared piano. Opening with the free-floating, palate-cleansing miniature “Mapinguari (Encantado da Mata),” Freitas moves to a hypnotic four-minute, piano-as-drum melodic exploration “Uiara (Encantada da Água) – Vida e Cura” and then to “Viva Naná,” which mimics with shakers, whistles, percussion and voice the sounds of the Amazon basin.
