Honolulu Records

Honolulu Records Jazz and experimental music. Honolulu is an independent label for non-commercial (mainly) improvised art music.

Honolulu Records is the most sincere and caring way we found to give a concrete life to our musical and artistic thoughts: a possible way out of the traditional labels' market and a solution to avoid wasting the creativity and the ideas of a community of musicians. We are a collective of musicians with a deep love for research and experimentation. Our aim is to produce music that is a spontaneous

and necessary expression of our time and to involve an audience as wide and as various as possible. We would like to help create connections between musicians, creative people, different artistic fields and to try spreading good music as much as we can. Honolulu Records provides assisted self-production and supports artists in releasing their music by lowering the printing costs and taking care as a collective of the bureaucratic and organisational aspects of the process.

We’re very proud to announce that our 37th release, ELEMENTS AND DERIVATIONS is OUT TODAY! Check out INNEC’S beautiful creation, links in BIO

After three years of work, ELEMENTS AND
DERIVATIONS by the Amsterdam-based quartet INNEC is the perfect crystallization of their sound, roaming the borders between experimental jazz and New Music.
In the album, each composition appears twice. While the Elements are clear representations of the written material, the techniques used in the Derivations range from non-idiomatic improvisation to digital processing,
resulting in more abstract pieces that remain deeply rooted in the band’s identity.

Alfonsina is a jazz singer born in Aosta, Italy. From an early age, she showed a strong musical talent and a deep love for classical music. During her teenage years, she studied opera privately while also performing in rock and pop settings. At the age of twenty, she moved to Milan, where she deepened her passion for jazz and blues, collaborating with some of the most renowned musicians on the local scene. She continued her opera studies with soprano Caterina Trogu.
Her artistic interests go beyond music: she earned a degree in Art and Cultural Market Communication from IULM University in Milan and worked as an art curator for several exhibitions. Nonetheless, her main activity remains that of a jazz singer. Currently, she teaches voice at the Scuola Musicale di Milano, leads the choir at the Gabelle community center, and works as a music therapist in the Orchestra 4 Ottavi project by Mediafriends, performing in prestigious venues such as Teatro Donizetti in Bergamo.

This project was born from the idea of sound emerging from a root, a place where all codes dissolve and what remains is pure essence. The film “Being There”, with its visionary portrayal of a gardener disconnected from the world’s language yet rising to prominence through his unique sensitivity, inspired the track “Beyond the Garden” and shaped the nature-infused atmosphere of the entire work.
The songs explore themes that reflect the depth of human experiences: from the intensity of friendship bonds, to the tension towards freedom, to the reflection on the natural flow of life. Each composition captures a fragment of these experiences, presenting them with a musical language that intertwines jazz tradition with contemporary sounds.

“Passage is a musical reflection on personal growth, resilience, and transformation. Blending jazz with
Greek folk lyricism, rock energy, and subtle pop influences, each piece traces a different stage of the journey — from nostalgia and doubt, to clarity and
hope. Shaped by Mitsios’s distinctive guitar style — grounded in melodic storytelling, rhythmic focus, and a clear sense of structure — the music offers a personal approach to contemporary jazz. The Yiannis Mitsios Quintet brings together a group of close collaborators and some of the Netherlands’ most promising young jazz voices.”
