There is poetry and precision in GoGo Penguin’s new work—and intimacy and vastness. Their titles tend to speak volumes, in tandem with their evocative instrumentals. They’d actually completed the new album’s track-listing before settling on the name for A Humdrum Star—yet it captures a distinctive tone. It’s taken from a quote by American astrophysicist Carl Sagan from his 1980 TV series Cosmos: “Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.”

Трио из Манчестера играет бессловесный джаз, но каждая их композиция на альбоме "Man Made Object" говорит на языке чувств и очень внятно. Хочется назвать пианино главенствующим в инструментом, но выходящие на брейкбитовые скорости барабаны или тревожный бас важны тут ничуть не меньше. GoGo Penguin записали в прямом значении слова волнующую музыку.

7 октября 2017 года 2-х кратный вокалист GRAMMY Грегори Портер выпустил новый альбом. Запись произведена с участием известного аранжировщика Винса Мендоса, Лондонского студийного оркестра, пианиста Кристиана Сэндса, басиста Рубена Роджерса и барабанщика Улисса Оуэнса, а также специального гостя - трубача Теренса Бланшара на двух треках. Портер пересматривает некоторые классические композиции, такие как “Mona Lisa,” “L-O-V-E,” “Nature Boy,” “The Christmas Song” и ведущий трек «Smile». Для Портера влияние творчества Nat King Cole на его жизнь и музыку проходит сквозной линией с самого детства. Когда Грегори Портер был мальчиком, он был настолько увлечен Нат Кинг Коул, что представлял его своим отцом, находя утешение в мягком и знойном голосе Коула.

Третий студийный альбом американского джазового музыканта Грегори Портера выпущен 2 сентября 2013 года, удостоен премии Grammy за лучший джазовый вокальный альбом в 2014 году.

The american baryton and crooner Gregory Porter released his fourth album called “Take Me To The Alley” . Jazz influences and his soul voice, which made his success, are still here on the 15 tracks of the record, like on the single “Don’t Lose Your Steam“.

Grammy award winner, Gregory Porter, performs to a rapturous sold out Berlin Philharmonie live in May 2016. This stunning modern classical venue is the perfect place to capture Gregoryʼs mellifluous Baritone, along with his band of remarkable musicians.

A sophisticated, forward-thinking jazz bassist, Gary Peacock is a subtle yet distinctive musician whose intuitive, sympathetic ear for group interplay has found him crossing from straight-ahead standards to avant-garde free jazz. While his intellectual curiosity has drawn him to such wide-ranging pursuits as biology and Eastern philosophy, his immense musical talents, most often associated with pianist Keith Jarrett's "Standards" trio, have kept him at the epicenter of progressive jazz and creative improvisation for over four decades.

Ever since his arrival on the scene, San Francisco-based producer Giraffage has shown an intriguing ability to meld numerous influences into one new, cohesive sound. No where is this more evident than on his debut LP, Too Real. Coming in at an even ten tracks, Giraffage’s album is euphoric blend of R&B, synth-pop, and a neon aesthetic. Perhaps most intriguing is the producer’s ability to not hide his influences but to truly morph and warp them into something completely new and entirely his own. Recorded entirely in his bedroom, Too Real is the mark of a producer truly beginning to hit his stride and portends even more good things to come.
