Antonio Farao & Stephane Belmondo Quartet - DO IT! ✨ The encounter between Antonio Faraò and Stéphane Belmondo perfectly illustrates what can emerge from the dialogue between two exceptional artists.
The Italian pianist, renowned for his virtuosity, lyricism, and keen sense of melody, joins forces here with one of the most expressive French trumpeters of his generation. Together, they offer music that is at once free, inspired, and deeply human.
Their collaboration is built on complete mutual listening and a shared respect for the language of jazz. Around them, a solid yet subtle rhythm section completes the balance: Thomas Bramerie’s double bass, both robust and warm, and Benjamin Henocq’s inspired drumming, whose precision and sense of groove sustain the collective flow.
This project celebrates the freedom of jazz performance, improvisation as a shared language, and the emotional depth these musicians so beautifully convey. ❤️

Mike Casey 🎷 “The Complete Public Access: WPAA TV Session”
This live session captures Mike's longtime trio - finalists in the jazz world's largest ensemble based competition DC Jazz Festival DCJazzPrix - at a creative peak.

This album is highly diverse and showcases his trio of 10 years walking the tight rope.

From funky soul-jazz ('Space Chill') to variations on the Moroccan Chaabi ('Remote', which
Mike originally composed for Netflix show "Spy Ops" - other songs of his made it into the
show) to the westerly 'Dusty Wheel' inspired by Mike's cross country drives through the Great American West to 'Ahava' honoring his roots and the Caribbean calypso leaning 'Iguana Crossing', the Americana leaning 'Faith'.

Bruno Repsold Quinteto - Quimera 🇧🇷 BRUNO REPSOLD recorded his debut album with his quintet, featuring seven original compositions arranged in the classic jazz tradition: a space where everyone plays, listens, engages in musical dialogue, and has fun. The songs draw inspiration from life itself—musical and spiritual influences, friendships, family, and the myriad experiences that shape one’s identity. The album was recorded live during a two-day session in Rio de Janeiro.

VOODOO DRUMMER 🥁 "Hell's Bells" 🇬🇷 Hellas is the country known as Greece, and Hell is the place where many of us will end up sooner or later!
Chris Koutsogiannis became the Voodoo Drummer after participating in a funeral in Benin, West Africa, and his appearances in New Orleans. He toured with the British cult trio theTiger Lillies, among others, before forming this odd act in Athens with Stavros Parginos.

You can find more harmony in this Afro-Dionysian duo than in our world, even if it is just drums and cello.

Get ready for some schizophonic sounds, adding the “Weirdofon,” a one octave - out of tune – Metal Balafon (the African metallophone), plus sounds, noises, chants, bells, as well as voice, saw, violin, guitar and balafon from guest musicians. This doesn’t change the final primitive, minimal and unusual sound.

The band combines poetry and dance inspired by the cosmos, ancient alchemy and world mythologies.
