When a young jazz musician composes a suite and calls it ‘Berlin Kaboom!’, it calls to mind the many young guns in the German capital’s jazz scene. Saxophonist Max von Mosch, who does exactly this with his first own ACT album, has only lived in Berlin for two years, and despite being just 33 years of age, he is already an old hand and figurehead of German jazz.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © nicethingsMUSIC
A saxophonist, vocalist, and producer from Philadelphia by way of Perkasie, PA, Max Swan channels influence from the likes of Stevie Wonder, James Blake, Donny Hathaway, Michael Brecker, and Lenny Pickett. He’s gone from nothing-but-jazz, to everything-other-than-jazz, and all stops in between. Initially being the loud alto player that showed up for the jam session every week, Max slowly took on more opportunities in hip hop production, as both a bandleader and producer, playing with a number of artists and groups in the Philly area. Over time, the saxophone he’d lay on tracks led to supplementing keyboards, and writing string and horn section arrangements. The work that was done with these artists led Max to start laying vocals on his newer music, starting with “So Much Chime”. Swan received accolades during the creation of his current sound with Councilman David Oh’s PHLlive Center Stage Music Conference, Ernest Stuart’s Center City Jazz Festival, and was named one of the “Best of 2017” on WXPN. Most recently, “The Waters” was featured on NPR’s Heavy Rotation, and is currently featured on 88.5 WXPN on the daily. Since his residency with The Kimmel Center last spring/summer, Max curated MONO//POLY, a music series showcasing artists’ music in non-traditionally arranged ways, unique to each set, all backed by Max and the band. “The Fisherman”, his debut album, released August 23rd.

Stax`s music is not just some intellectual showing-off, it bobbles along in the rhythm-oriented mainstream, and yet, over and above that, it is imbued with an astonishing sense of both freshness and maturity. This quartet is playing the music of now – and at an amazing level of achievement. These musicians formulate shared narratives that go way beyond the mindless clicks and zappings of their generation.

Maya Beiser – Maya Beiser x Philip Glass (2021)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:05:29 minutes | 634 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Islandia Music
On July 23, 2021, cellist, arranger, and producer Maya Beiser will release Maya Beiser x Philip Glass on her Islandia Music Records label. The album includes Maya’s arrangements of Philip Glass’s piano Etudes Nos. 2 and 5, Mad Rush, Music in Similar Motion, and selections from Naqoyqatsi, part of Glass’s Qatsi Trilogy with filmmaker Godfrey Reggio. On this album, Maya creates a multi-layered sound sculpture with her cello, exploring and unveiling new dimensions in some of Philip Glass’s most powerful and achingly beautiful works.
Maya says, “What do I see when I listen to Philip Glass’s music? What do I feel? How does the construction and deconstruction of these seemingly simple harmonic and melodic phrases affect my perception? In making this album, I searched for layers of sound that might reveal something new about Glass’s ingenious creative power. I was thinking about stratum, the layering that occurs in most sedimentary rocks formed at the Earth’s surface. I imagined the layers of my cello becoming porous and Glass’s music flowing vociferously through each layer, like lava, endlessly creating new patterns, expanding into the landscape.”

Maxwell – Embrya (1998/2018)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/192 kHz | Time – 01:02:44 minutes | 2,42 GB | Genre: R&B, Neo Soul
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Columbia – Legacy
Maxwell’s ambition was one of the appealing qualities of his debut, Urban Hang Suite, especially since very few of his contemporaries were attempting to expand the boundaries of contemporary R&B. However, blessings can be curses, and that very ambition gets the better of Maxwell on his second album, Embrya. Loaded with pretentious song titles (“Gestation: Mythos,” “Arroz con Pollo,” “Luxury: Cococure”), the album bogs down in its own sophistication and his desire to make deep, serious music. Like Terence Trent d’Arby whose Neither Fish Nor Flesh offers a frightening parallel to Embrya Maxwell wants to be so much more than just another soul crooner, but his gifts become obscured the more he pushes them forward. To be sure, Embrya is far from a washout. Maxwell does have a remarkable voice and he can write really good modern soul songs it’s just that he has a tendency to think that’s not enough and then he overstuffs his songs with ideas that lead nowhere. With a little more focus, Embrya could have been an impressive second step. As it stands, it’s a bit of a sophomore stumble, albeit one with promising moments.

Maxine Brown – Spotlight on Maxine Brown (1965/2020)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 32:05 minutes | 568 MB | Genre: Soul
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Roadshow Records
In a singles-driven genre and era, its rare to find an album like this that is actually worth listening to. Perhaps because its practically a compilation of previously released singles. It may not be quite as exciting as Where Did Our Love Go – with its incredible production and array of hits. But Maxine Brown’s voice is really great and manages to carry through here across a lot of different material without dropping a beat – brill-building to soul.

Maximum Joy are a post-punk band from Bristol, England, formed in 1981 and reunited in 2015. Pitchfork compared their sound to “one of the Slits backed by the Gang of Four, while PopMatters said, “Musically, the group’s use of complex percussion, horns, danceable bass lines, and overtly English female vocals built a bridge between the worlds of Afrobeat, reggae, avant-garde jazz, funk and pop”. “I Can’t Stand It Here On Quiet Nights” is centred around the trio of singles the band released on Dick O’Dell’s Y Records between 1981-1982.

Maximiliano Martin – Caprices & Laments: Clarinet Concertos by Nielsen, Copland & MacMillan (2021)

The benevolent shadow of Mozart meets a strain of emotional turbulence in Carl Nielsen’s unforgettable, at times inscrutable Clarinet Concerto – his last major orchestral work, completed three years before his death in 1931. Dating from two decades later, Aaron Copland’s concerto for the same instrument similarly bridges stylistic and expressive contrasts: composed with the genre-crossing expertise of Benny Goodman in mind, it brings a vein of lyrical sadness together with the verve of mid-century popular idioms from both the USA and Brazil.

Fruit d’un remarquable travail de relev et de recherche harmonique, Guitar Reflexions vol.1 transposait au trio guitare-contrebasse-batterie de Maxime Fougres la largeur du jeu pianistique de Duke Ellington. Mri depuis cinq ans, ce volume 2 consacr Wayne Shorter joue quant lui sur les arrangements : aux mlodies des versions originales (du Juju du matre souffleur au Hanova de Jaco Pastorius) viennent se greffer de nouvelles rythmiques. Les compositions signes Fougres sont au diapason. Sur le fond comme sur la forme, runion pas si contradictoire de mlodies triviales et d’harmonies tortueuses. L’ensemble foisonne de pertinentes improvisations en temps rels, bornes de riffs crunchy et d’accord quatre sons.
