Kobe Session (180 gram vinyl 12")
Cat: AX 070. Rel: 04 May 16
Review: The first release from the Axis Audiophile Series. Jeff Mills has formed an electronic jazz fusion band and this 12? is a recording of their recent performance in Kobe during the TodaysArt.JP Festival. Mills manages the decks, drums and percussion and is joined Detroit legend and Underground Resistance stalwart Gerald Mitchell (Los Hermanos/Galaxy 2 Galaxy), keyboardist Yumiko Ohno and bassist Kenji Jino. "Eventide" has the same kind of urban, uplifting soul as anything Kaidi Thatham or Mark de Clive-Lowe have made and isn't bad at all! On the flip "Happy Gamma Ray" features uplifting keys and emotive chords backed by funk bass and one of Mills' unmistakeable 909 drum machine workouts. It really seems that there's no limit to this Motor City legend's creativity which has spanned nearly 30 years and we're excited about this new chapter in the Wizard's sonic universe.

Service Rendered (12" limited to 300 copies)
Cat: ITEZ 003. Rel: 14 Jan 25
Review: The revitalised singer Constantine Weir, who you may know from work with Galliano, makes a welcome return with some incredibly powerful soul. It comes on his own already interesting young label Itez and opens with the yawning and sun-kissed sounds of 'Dried Tears' with aching vocals and glistening melodies. 'Father' is an imitated song with the deep lyrics allowed plenty of room to make their mark as gentle bongos and strings company a soothing rhythm. Aspirated, smoky vocals again take centre stage on 'Lovely Lovely' which is a reminisce of a romantic tryst and 'Contradictions' then has a more breezy feel and sunny disposition. 'Seeweeyah' shuts down with a powerful monologue.

Review: Three years after impressing with an ultra-limited debut single that took Cumbia to exciting new places, Southern Californian five-piece Yanga are finally ready to release the follow-up. Names You Can Trust has decided to do this over two concurrently released 7" singles. "Volumen 1" begins with "Encendemos", a suitably driving and psychedelic affair powered forward by layered percussion, delay-laden handclaps and chant-along group vocals. Over on the B-side, "Solo Un Poco" offers a slightly more traditional Colombian style outing blessed with jaunty accordion lines, booming bass and an insatiable Cumbia rhythm. It's not nearly as jaw dropping as the A-side, but it's still pretty darn special.

Review: Southern Californian five-piece Yanga first emerged three years ago with a now sought-after debut single that put a contemporary "Afro-Colombian" spin on the effervescent Cumbia style. Now operating on Names You Can Trust, their comeback has been spread across two must-have 7" singles. The highlight of this second "Volumen" is arguably A-side "Ron Con Limon", a viciously percussive, fuzz-soaked Cumbia outing where headline grabbing vocals and accordion lines rise above the band's infectious drums. In contrast, B-side "La Veterana" is deeper, darker and more bass-heavy, with the band's vocals and accordion melodies imparting a genuine sense of impending doom.

African Leaders (12")
Cat: MESS 002. Rel: 05 Feb 24
Review: There is scant little information out there about Yoanson & Karamie. What we do know is that they were young artists from the French African diaspora who met with Nessim Saroussi and his label Ness Music in the late 80s and were encouraged to record the music presented here. It is their only official EP and it is a brilliant mix of Afro-tropical percussions, disco, electro and vocals that call to mind the likes of Arthur Russell. Philippe de Lacroix-Herpin is the man festered here as Prof Jah Pinpin and he brings some of his signature saxophone brilliance to flipside jaunt 'The Final Bird (Le Temps D'une Vie)'.

Correcciones Calypso 4 (12")
Cat: CC 004. Rel: 24 Apr 23
Review: Correcciones Calypso returns from a generous hiatus with the fourth edition of its acclaimed edit series, replete with four re-edits that veer from the subtle to the downright brazen. Thomass Jackson and INigo Vontier invite the French duo Youkounkoun to open proceedings with an insane early 80s edit full of big drums and exotic touches that's been blowing dancefloors all around the world for the past years - and definitely resides in the brazen category, despite a lot of work having gone into it. Olta Karawame make their debut on the series with a powerful, compact edit full of ballsy keyboard riffing and a military-sized kick drum that is guaranteed to have heads banging . To complete the release label bosses Thomass and INigo deliver edits of their own with their characteristic sound, giving this EP maximum a value for money factor and entertainment from start to finish.

Review: "Jungle" is the second batch of Numero-reissued gems by The Young Senators from the '60s; actually, we should really say that these are released for the first time ever. The song is a no nonsense Detroit slinger with one of the best breakdowns we've heard on the label. "That's The Way It Is" is a softer tune, a delicate 60's pop song guided by organs, horns and prophetic vocals. Bang tidy.

Review: The always busy Record Store Day 2024 release schedule has turned up another pearler here as Ann Young and Yuki Ohno Trio's 'Speak Low' gets a special reissue on 7" courtesy of Nippon Colombia. 'Speak Low' is a cut that showcases Young's expressive vocal style in all its glory as it implodes and explodes over 100-mile-an-hour double bass and light, airy triages, hi-hats and feathery drums. On the flip is another standout vocal jazz cut 'On Green Dolphin Street' that makes this an essential cop.

Review: The celebration of this series continues with a reissue of the second installment of the legendary Christmas salsa album.

For this one, Colon and Lavoe were joined by renowned cuatro player Yomo Toro and legendary percussionists Milton Cardona and Jose Mangual Jr. Together, they crafted salsa versions of beloved Puerto Rican Christmas songs while mixing traditional musica jibara with Cuban guaguanco, son montuno and African-American jazz. It delivers on all fronts with vibrant, festive blends that bring real Puerto Rican authenticity to salsa fans worldwide.

Space Adventure Cobra (Soundtrack) (reissue) (3xLP box set + booklet)

Review: Those interested in Japanese cartoons should know Space Adventure Cobra. First broadcast in 1982, it is now considered one of the country's finest animated TV series. This triple-vinyl box set celebrates Kentano Haneda and Yuji Ono's music from the series, combining compositions featured on the show with unheard extended versions and tracks that never made the cut first time round. Musically, it's a mix of Japanese disco, sax-sporting lounge jazz, jazz-funk, neo-classical movements and eccentric interludes, all doused in layers of cosmic dust and stargazing colour. The release also comes packaged with a 12-page booklet telling the story of the series and the making of the appealing, endlessly entertaining soundtrack.

Four Units: Japanese Jazz Men Series Vol 3 (gatefold LP)
Cat: LTJC 010. Rel: 18 Nov 20
Review: Four Units is a Japanese jazz all-star group who played together for this concert in Tokyo in 1969. The recording of it landed on Union Records in the same year and is not able for many reasons, chief amongst which is a fairly incredible cover of 'Scarborough Fair'. It's freeform, expressive and busy in true modal style, with squealing lead synths and feathered cymbals, rolling drums and edgy piano all dancing around the original sound. Other cuts veer into hard bop territory and the whole thing comes to a close in a fine blaze of glory having opened with a pair of extended epics. .

Beautiful Bamboo Flute (gatefold LP)
Cat: MRBLP 214. Rel: 27 Sep 19
Review: In 2002, the Japanese government recognized bamboo flute maestro Hozan Yamamoto as a "living national treasure". It was in honor of his lengthy career in music, and in particular the way he championed a traditional Japanese instrument even when he was turning his hand to Western music. "Beautiful Bamboo Flute", an album first released in 1971 and almost impossible to find since, is a superb example of this. It sees him deliver haunting, emotional and life-affirming solos over funky jazz, big band and fusion backing tracks that tend towards the fresh and funky. It's an unusual blend, but also an invigorating and exciting one.

Sunrise From West Sea: Live (remastered) (gatefold LP + insert with obi-strip)

Review: An overlooked spiritual classic in two parts, Yamash'ta & The Horizon were a one-off project consisting of a hat-trick of musicians seeking to perfect their craft. In 1971, Hideakira Sakurai, Masahiko Satoh, Stomu Yamash'ta and Takehisa Kosugi gathered in Japan to perform an invite-only concert to a handful of friends. Deep and distinctive electric shamishen becomes a sonic centrepiece over the course; handled by Sakurai, the sound is haunting, like a lone voice amidst a sea of percussive nymphs. Sloshing koto, percussion and eruptions of awe from the crowd all dominate the moments of downtime; a timeless snapshot of Fluxus Japan.

Wamono Groove: Shakuhachi & Koto Jazz Funk '76 (180 gram vinyl LP)
Cat: 180GWALP 04. Rel: 27 Jan 22
Review: Unlike previous instalments in the 180g label's Wamono series, this isn't a compilation in the strictest sense of the term, but rather a retrospective. It showcases a range of killer jazz-funk and rare groove tunes recorded at Nippon Columbia studios in the mid 1970s by arranger Kiyoshi Yamaya, koto legend Toshiko Yonekawa and shakahuchi master Kifu Mitsuhashi. Highlights come thick and fast throughout, from the mellow, slow-burn lusciousness of 'Nanbu Ushioi-Uta' and the up-beat, guitar solo-laden brilliance of 'Hohai-Bushi', to the all-time Japanese jazz-funk classic that is 'Saitaro-Bushi' and the solo-laden brilliance of 'Asadoya Yunti', whose dazzling Fender Rhodes solos are reminiscent of the early '70s work of the late, great Billy Preston.

Review: Akiko Yano's 'Japanese Girl' epitomised the wispy, throaty-voiced ghost voice endemic to much early J-pop, preceding Faye Wong's dream pop proper by a good several decade. Lesser known on her discography, however, is the ballad-centric 'Super Folk Song', which was released via Epic Records several decades past her debut LP's heyday. Filled with romance and sentiment, featuring just Yano's lonesome duet of piano and voice, and with much chromatic lilting and swaying.

Review: Many of the reissues in BBE's ongoing 'J Jazz' series are obscure or little-known, but few are quite as rare as 'Song of Island', the third full-length from the Yasuhiro Kohno Trio. It was recorded live at the 'Again' jazz club, with vibraphonist Masahiro Kanno accompanying Kohno (piano) and his regular sidemen Tsutomu Numakami (bass) and Hironobu Fujisawa (drums). It was initially released as a private press LP in ludicrously limited quantities, so this first ever reissue will allow a wider audience to marvel at the magical music on show. Sun-splashed and spiritual, Kohno's compositions add dazzling piano and vibraphone work to exemplary jazz grooves, while the quartet's cover of Cole Porter's 'Love For Sale' is genuinely spellbinding and life-affirming.

Only Love Remains (limited gatefold LP in embossed sleeve)
Cat: YBI001 LP. Rel: 06 Nov 24
Review: 'Only Love Remains' is Yemen Blues' boldest album to date and one that marks a departure from their previous releases. Created from finished compositions by vocalist Ravid Kahalani, the band spent two weeks in the studio with minimal ideas and simply allowed creativity to flow. The result is a powerful fusion of each member's unique cultural influences co-produced by bassist Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz. The album blends direct emotional connection with spiritual depth and so offers both enlightenment and questioning. Amid global political and cultural polarisation, Yemen Blues leads by example and makes for an inclusive celebration of unity and love through music.

Review: Ethio-jazz composer Dawit Yifru dropped a real classic when he first released his self-titled solo instrumental album. It is strictly a compilation of 11 songs that he wrote and recorded during the 70s and have since been restored and remastered from original cassettes. They helped to make him one of the most notable artists in one of the most important eras in Ethiopia's music history as he mixed up Ethiopian Chickchika music, Twist, Congolese Rumba, and Waltz styles that all represented that time in music in the Horn of Africa country. This collection is the first in a new series from Muzikawi's Archive & Research project which looks to shine a light on some of Ethiopia's most celebrated but not internationally renowned sounds.

Review: Turkish singer and multi-instrumentalist Derya Y?ld?r?m and Grup ?im?ek are Anatolian psych-pop sensations and this is their second album on Bongo Joe. It is released in two parts, with this being the first, and it is another great take on traditional Anatolian folk ballads that adds in psychedelia and jazz for extra-special results. "We always want to push our sounds further, and constantly evolve," says Y?ld?r?m of an album that surely does that. There are dense and intense workouts like 'The Trip' next to lush and laid back stargazers like 'Haydar Haydar' making this another vital album.

Review: First released way back in 2005 and here presented in remastered form, Queen of Exotica tells the musical tale of Peruvian soprano Yma Sumac, a singer with an extreme vocal range and a distinctive vibrato whose recordings and performances helped popularise exotica - an easy listening style that combined elements of many tropical, South American, Caribbean and oriental genres -across the world in the 1950s. The set begins with almost a disc worth of Sumac's earliest recordings, mostly of Peruvian folk songs, with the three CDs that follow showcasing the singer's celebrated and more musically expansive work of the 1950s. The box set delivers a vital history lesson for anyone with an interest in exotica and global musical fusion.

Divided into chapters called Sea, Hillside and Country, Yamaya brought plenty of contemporary style to these translations while integrating that with the sound of the past. This version comes with a booklet full of extra context.

Review: Larry Young was an American jazz organist, whose claim to fame lay in his use of the Hammond B3 organ in a genre context it wasn't regularly used for: post-bop. 'Unity' came out in 1965, and saw him collaborate with trumpeter Woody Shaw, saxophonist Joe Henderson, and drummer Elvin Jones. The aim was to transcend each artist's tendency towards individualism, producing a stunning mood piece that brought out the organ in a surreptitious yet noticeable context. Young's playing renders the instrument popping, bright and vibrant.

Review: As a jazz trailblazer from the 30s onwards, Lester Young's star shone bright and fast before his death in 1959. While different stages of his career (split by WWII amongst others) show different sides to the tenor sax titan's playing, there are moments of brilliance wherever you look. Le Dernier Message De Lester Young is a poignant album - the last session he recorded before he passed away, originally released that very same year. Backed up by Kenny Clarke on drums, Jimmy Gourley on guitar, Rene Urtreger on piano and Jamil Nasser on bass, Young strikes a sombre, mellow tone across this record, with his unrivalled scope for expression coming through in every blue-hued note.

Review: Japan's Koki Emura (Em Records bossman) is an incorrigible reissuer, putting out obscure and hard-to-find gems from all corners of the globe and with a distinctly elegant presentation every time. Experimental jazz musician Roland P Young has been at the centre of the Em catalogue, boasting a whopping three LPs for the label already and he's back on the map this time with a stunning new full-length of improv, experimentation and that usual charm. Apart from Isophonic Boogie Woogie, this might well be Young's craziest work to be featuring on Mr.Emura's catalogue, where brash and deranged percussion meet gorgeous acoustic treatment the whole way through. "Partenthetically", for example, could almost be played in an electronic DJ set. Highly recommended.

Review: Over the last few years, Adrian Younge has spent a lot of his time working with Ali Shaheed Muhammad legends on the essential Jazz Is Dead series of collaborative albums. Here he finally steps out on his own once more - albeit with assistance from a range of musicians and vocalists - with a stunning set that he describes as "an unapologetic critique, detailing the susyem and malevolent psychology that afflicts people of color". Musically, it doffs a cap to the emotive orchestration of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, with nods to jazz-funk greats such as Bob James, spiritual jazz and the jazzy hip-hop grooves Younge has long been associated with, while the artist's own spoken word vocals are conscientious, hard-hitting and thought-provoking. In other words, it's an exceptional piece of work.

Review: Adrian Younge's new album is undoubtedly his most powerful yet. He says it "dissects the chemistry behind blind racism, using music as the medium to restore dignity and self-worth to my people." It is an unapologetic critique of the current systems that suppress people of colour and the malevolent psychology that taps into that. Musically, this is a deeply soulful record with elaborate orchestration and some top level guests. Next to the album, Younge has also made a short film (TAN) and 4-part podcast (invisible Blackness) on the same subject that make for vital listening.

Review: Adrian Younge's latest in the Something About April series is a stunning analogue opus that blends a 30-piece orchestra with breakbeats, synth work and Brazilian psychedelia. It has reportedly been years in the making and is the culmination of Younge's sonic vision as well as being his most expansive and experimental work to date. Brazilian vocalists, fuzzed-out drums and lush orchestration evoke MPB greats like Verocai and Os Mutantes and hip-hop kings Wu-Tang in equal measure. Tracks like 'Nunca Estranhos' and 'Nossas Sombras' are richly cinematic and deeply soulful standouts. More than a closing chapter, this record cements Younge's legacy as a visionary composer.

It makes sense, then, that volume 10 is a remix album, with a variety of producers putting their stamp on cuts from the pair's expansive joint catalogue. As you'd expect, it's packed to the rafters with killer hip-hop, downtempo and broken beat reworks, with highlights including Cut Chemist's head-nodding, cinematic hip-hop take on Gary Bartz hook-up 'Soulsea', Shigeto's contemporary spiritual jazz revision of Brian Jackson co-production 'Nacy Wilson', and DJ Spinna's squelchy, house-not-house rub of Azymouth collaboration 'Rendor Do Samba'. Soulful, jazz-fired perfection.

Review: Brandee Younger has always been a unique artist: a harpist who frequently utilises the instrument in a wide variety of (sometimes surprising) musical contexts and whose impressive CV also includes work with hip-hop luminaries such as Common and Ryan Leslie. On her fifth solo album, and second for Impulse!, Younger continues this adventurous but highly entertaining approach, offering up a mixture of original compositions and Dorothy Ashby covers that frequently draws influence from hip-hop, smooth jazz, modern soul and fusion. Highlights are plentiful, with our picks including the luscious, harp-laden soul head-nod of 'Brand New Life' (where Mumu Fresh delivers a sublime lead vocal), Pete Rock hook-up 'Livin' And Lovin' In My Own Way', and the duelling harp and vibraphone solos of the vintage Roy Ayers-inspired goodness of 'You're a Girl For One Man Only'.

Review: Having earned her stripes on America's independent jazz scene, Brandee Younger has now made the step up to the big time. Somewhere Different marks the harpist and composer's first appearance on Impulse, a label long associated with jazz greats. She's delivered the goods too, opening with a string of sweet, spiritual jazz influenced soul numbers, most of which are introspective in tone and reflect her experience during the first pandemic lockdown, before delivering a swathe of more energetic and up-tempo numbers that draw more influence from rock and jazz-dance. Throw in appearances from some true jazz greats (Ron Carter, Morris Brown and Chelsea Baratz all feature) and you have a genuinely impressive album..

Review: Performer, composer and educator Brandee Younger is an accomplished ensemble leader who has worked with the likes of Lauryn Hill and Phaorah Sanders. Here she is back at the front of her own troupe with an album that was recorded in New York City at the legendary studio of Rudy Van Gelder. The music is richly detailed contemporary jazz but with echoes of Black greats like Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby. Legendary bassist Ron Carter appears as does Tarriona Tank Ball to make this a real jewel of a record.

Diwan Of Beauty & Odd (limited gatefold numbered 180 gram audiophile magenta vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: MOVLP 1807C. Rel: 24 Jan 23
Review: Dhafer Youssef is one of the catalysts who helped bring the eastern and western worlds of music together. The Tunisian oud player and vocalist released his solo long player in 2016. Diwan Of Beauty And Odd was recorded with Aaron Parks, Ben Williams, Mark Giuliana and Ambrose Akinmusire and for its unique fusion of Arabic and Western sounds it was highly praised by fans and critics alike. Standout tracks such as 'Fly Shadow Fly' and 'Diving In The Air' now get include on this heavyweight vinyl pressing on audiophile magenta. A truly spiritual listen.

Review: Ninety Nine Eyes is rooted in an old Takhmira, a Zar ritual poem, and is the result of a three-year "metamorphosis" between studio time and stage performances. In one way of looking at things, it's neither recorded nor live. It exists on a different plain, where it is impossible to figure out what came first or even when. Were the ideas conceived in a premeditated fashion? Or did they emerge in the moment, in front of an audience? This is getting us nowhere, so let's move on. Yunis, if you're not already on-side, is one of Egypt's leading lights of compositions, and here he employees resonant mizmar, the century-spanning rhythms of tombak, ghostly voices of people who may or may not have been there, somewhere, at some point, and the structure of a Sufi Hadra. The result is a two part stunner that begins with a tense awakening, filled with expectation and anticipation. Perhaps even nerves. Then we erupt into a synth-infused ritualistic tidal wave.

Review: Yussef Days, a virtuoso drummer, has injected fresh energy into contemporary jazz and broken beat genres through multiple innovative projects, each showcasing his remarkable talent. One of them is The Yussef Dayes Experience which recently dropped its Live At Joshua Tree Presented By Soulection album and now follows it up with another live album, this time from Malibu, on Gilles Peterson's revered Brownswood label. It features music from his critically acclaimed debut solo album, Black Classical Music, and plenty of other gems on limited vinyl with features from his usual longtime collaborators Rocco Palladino, Venna, Elijah Fox, and Alexander Bourt.

Review: Brownswood Recordings has high hopes for this debut album from the previously unheralded Yussef Kamaal, which brings together hyped producer Kamaal Williams (AKA Henry Wu) and fast-rising Afrobeat drummer Yussef Dayes. With such talent to draw on, you'd expect Black Focus to be rather good. Happily, it is, with the duo delivering a typically London-centric take on jazz funk. That means that they take as much inspiration from the work of Kaidi Tatham as, say, Herbie Hancock. The key to the album's success - and, yes, it is generally as special as Gilles Peterson suggests - is the fluid combination of Dayes' brilliant drumming and Williams' superb synth solos and effortlessly groovy Rhodes playing.
