Canadian vocal jazz & pop sensation Nikki Yanofsky is back with her sophomore release "Little Secret". Executive Produced by legend Quincy Jones, Little Secret combines pop-song structures with sophisticated harmonies, club-ready beats with punchy big-band horns, and earworm hooks with scat-singing solos. It’s all held together by her powerful delivery, as well as a newfound sass. In the studio with Rob Kleiner and Dan Cinelli, Yanofsky brought together the immediacy of her pop work with the depth of her jazz. Her approach is epitomized by the track “Something New”, which cheekily adapts the hooks from Jones’s “Soul Bossa Nova” and Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man” to a strutting groove, and features the full breadth of Nikki’s vocals, from a soulful roar to a kittenish growl.

"For One to Love" is such a loaded title for an album. It’s a joyful proposition full of promise that, on second thought, is just as likely to invite heartache and regret. They usually go hand in hand. Cécile McLorin Salvant is mindful of that, and on the jazz vocalist’s thoughtful new album, she treats love not just as a many-splendored thing, but also as a source of consternation and a time of reflection. Set for release “For One to Love” is the follow-up to 2013’s “WomanChild,” the 26-year-old singer’s debut on Mack Avenue Records, which earned her a Grammy nomination for best jazz vocal album.

Michel Benita’s Ethics quintet has a very distinctive sound determined by its instrumentation and the Algerian-born, Paris-based double bassist uses it in a generous way, overlapping the jazz and folk worlds of music in the process. He has his fellow Andy Sheppard band mate Eivind Aarset on guitar and electronics, Matthieu Michel on flugelhorn, Mieko Miyazaki on koto and Philippe Garcia on drums. The textural richness that Benita can get from the velvety pulse of bass and rattling shake of snare, the smooth sandpaper of flugel and the chrome shine of koto, all moving over Aarset’s characteristic sheen and glimmer, is a delight.

Flugzeug Trio is a prog-jazz Montreal-based band. Since the very beginning of the project an incredible chemistry between all three members has been leading the band in the most natural way, setting things up for amazing discoveries.The bass-less trio performs originals, which can best be described as very melodic with insane dynamics. Most compositions are written by Chapais and often arranged collectively, Gagné joining his out of the box ideas to Meza’s unusual rhythms to create a truly inventive project. On this album, they are joined by four-times Juno Award-winner bassist Chris Tarry who brings his fantastic vibe and wonderful sound.

Ghostlight Records presents the innovative new album from Lea DeLaria "House of David": delaria + bowie = jazz, which boldly reexamines the work of music icon David Bowie. DeLaria is the television, stage and music star currently best known as “Carrie ‘Big Boo’ Black” in the hit Netflix series “Orange is the New Black.” The first major jazz reworking on Bowie’s beloved catalog, the album features tracks such as a smooth bossa nova interpretation of “Golden Years,” a trenchant “Life On Mars” and a roof-raising gospel take on “Modern Love.”

Два имени и фотография на обложке этого альбома словно олицетворяют связь времен в традиционном свинговом джазе. Живая легенда этой музыки – 90-летний Баки Пиццарелли, великолепный гитарист-виртуоз, даже в столь почтенном возрасте полон сил, энергии и творческой фантазии. Вокалистка Алексис Коул моложе Баки более, чем в два раза. Она – искушенный и опытный мастер, финалист конкурса вокалистов имени Сары Воэн, ей подвластен любой репертуар. Альбом "A Beautiful Friendship" десятый в ее дискографии, открывает новый этап в творчестве Алексис. Для записи этого альбома собрана команда очень сильных музыкантов: Nicki Parrott на басу и вокале, Frank Vignola на гитаре, Anat Cohen на кларнете и Warren Vache на трубе. Программа альбома составлена из стандартов, причем значительную их часть составляют композиции очень известные, исполнявшиеся множество раз, вроде Honeysuckle Rose или These Foolish Things.
