CLASSICAL
PICTURES FROM FINLAND: OULU SINFONIA CONDUCTED BY RUMON GAMBA FROM CHANDOS RECORDS.
Following their successful album Overtures from Finland , released in 2023, Rumon Gamba and the Oulu Sinfonia present another programme of works from their native land. Taken as a whole, the album presents its own fascinating picture of Finnish orchestral music.
JAZZ
PAUL BROWN – SO MUCH TO SAY
"So Much to Say" is a vibrant showcase of smooth jazz mastery, blending soulful grooves with crisp guitar work. Paul Brown’s thirteenth solo album features collaborations with top-tier musicians like Shane Theriot and Rick Braun. Brown’s guitar tone is clean and expressive, often reminiscent of George Benson, and his production is polished yet warm. So Much to Say glides effortlessly between warmth and precision, offering an uplifting experience that's equal parts musical sophistication and heartfelt groove.
