Debut album by LA saxophonist / flautist co-produced by Carlos Ni�o documents a transformative recovery from major illness. By no means a secret, but certainly in the category of IYKYK, saxophonist/flautist Aaron Shaw is one of Los Angeles's brightest young jazz musicians. A player's player, and frequent fixture at The World Stage in Leimert Park, Shaw has collaborated with the likes of Anderson Paak, Dave Chapelle, Herbie Hancock, Mary J. Blige, and Shawn Mendes.

Vinyl LP pressing. Malian balafon player Neba Solo and donso n'goni player Benego Diakit�'s A Djinn and a Hunter Went Walking-the first in a series of new releases in collaboration with longtime Nonesuch partner Nick Gold, former head of World Circuit Records-features the leading players of their traditional instruments: the marimba-like balafon, or bala, and donso n'goni, a hunter's harp. On the album, co-produced by Gold, Ousmane Ha�dara, and Sonny Johns, the acoustic instrumentals are complemented by vocals and percussion as well as touches of mellotron, guitar, and strings.

A year and a half after the release of their Latin Grammy-nominated album, Me Chama de Gato Que Eu Sou Sua, the award-winning Brazilian trailblazer, Ana Frango El�trico, returns with two new songs: 'A Sua Divers�o' and 'N�o Tem Nada N�o'. Both tracks are the result of a remarkable collaboration with legendary Brazilian artist Marcos Valle, creating a dialogue between generations. The 7" single will be released in partnership by the labels RISCO, Mr Bongo and Psychic Hotline. First up, Ana drops the laid-back sultry Brazilian-funk gem 'A Sua Divers�o', written alongside Tuca Monteiro and co-produced by Guilherme Lirio. With a breezy '80s tinged feel, the sumptuous bassline, funk strutting guitars and cosmic synths are the perfect match to Ana's instantly recognisable vocal tones. A track with a nostalgic air but a contemporary flair, it includes guest backing vocals by three of Brazil's finest, Dora Morelenbaum, Marcos Valle, and Patr�cia Alv�. Next, a firm favourite from their live show, Ana reinterprets and re-records a 1973 Marcos Valle classic 'N�o Tem Nada N�o', written collaboratively with Eumir Deodato and Jo�o Donato. During Ana's tour across 11 countries and over 40 sold-out shows, this cover quickly became a fan favourite. As audiences began tagging Valle in Instagram stories, he showed his support by reposting Ana's performances. This online exchange blossomed into a real-life connection when the two artists met at a benefit concert for Rio Grande do Sul and the idea of a collaboration materialised. Putting their own distinctive spin on the recording, Ana duets with Valle, who features on vocals and Rhodes. As the track progresses it morphs seamlessly into a reimagination of Crystal Water's anthemic 'Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)' from 1991. This inspired yet unlikely combination blends exquisitely and is a perfect distillation of Ana's energetic and absorbing live presence.

Vinyl LP pressing. With his 2026 album Nothing Left Behind, Danny Bryant opens the most personal chapter of his career to date. The British guitarist and singer-songwriter - a fixture of the European blues-rock scene for more than twenty years - presents a record that marks both a fresh start and a natural progression, musically as much as personally.

Blast Off! By Duke Robillard and His All Star Band - BLAST OFF! #on an out of this world musical odyssey covering a variety of material from blues to jazz to funky R&B.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2018 with their debut album, On, Amsterdam-based Altin G�n have been at the vanguard of the 21st century revival of Turkish-influenced psychedelic grooves. Now, the Grammy-nominated quintet return with their sixth studio album Garip - their most ambitious and diverse release to date, and a heartfelt tribute to Neset Ertas - a revered and much-loved Turkish singer, lyricist and baglama player who recorded more than 30 albums and wrote hundreds of songs.

Marion Rampal's Song for Abbey is a tribute to Abbey Lincoln-singer, composer, poet, activist, actress-whose art reshaped jazz through voice, writing, and stance. Lincoln rejected convention and built a body of work that joined poetry, melody, and moral clarity. Her late career revealed a powerful catalogue of original songs, deeply personal and still rarely covered. Rampal approaches Lincoln as a living influence rather than a distant monument. The album revisits key works from Lincoln's repertoire and sets them alongside pieces that illuminate her roots and affinities-Oscar Brown Jr., Bob Dylan, standards such as Skylark-mapping the sources that nourished her imagination. Songs such as Caged Bird, Learning How to Listen, and The Music Is the Magic are treated as present tense, not archival objects. Guest appearances from Bill Frisell and Archie Shepp mark continuity rather than nostalgia. Frisell's guitar brings lyric economy. Shepp, once close to Lincoln, joins Rampal in newly created music, linking memory with current creation. The arrangements avoid imitation. They search for the structural core of each song-speech rhythm, dramatic line, silence as active element. Rampal's vocal approach privileges articulation, text, timbre, and narrative clarity, drawing on jazz, blues, and folk without display. The result is not pastiche but reactivation: Lincoln's questions about self, freedom, and responsibility in sound are carried forward. Song for Abbey also presents Lincoln as an artist who resisted constraint-industry pressures, gendered expectations, racial projections-not through manifesto but through work. Independence is audible in the songs themselves: direct language, exact phrasing, demanding listening. The album acts as remembrance and renewal, lively rather than reverential, combining melody with free, untamed passages. It conveys the force of an artist who understood jazz as a medium for shaping voice and character.

Vinyl LP pressing. John Lee Hooker, known as "The King of the Boogie" and "the Boogie Man", was a true Blues icon. Quality rather than quantity is the key to Hooker's singular success. He did not have a huge number of hits in the R&B chart, but those that did make a major impact would provide some of the key musical architecture for future blues and rock artists. When he came to prominence in the late '40s, he was playing blues in a way that was regarded as somewhat spare, his dark repetitive vocals supported only by his amplified guitar and his stamping foot. His was no overnight stardom. Having paid his dues over many years, once he started recording, he did so prolifically. This fine collection of his earlier songs demonstrates Hooker's blues virtuosity while at the same time establishing his work as a signpost to a deeper understanding of the British Blues explosion. It features a host of early hits including the iconic No.1's "Boogie Chillen'" and "I'm In The Mood", alongside "Hoogie Boogie", "Hobo Blues", "Crawlin' King Snake", "Dimples", "No Shoes" and, naturally, the timeless "Boom Boom"

This landmark album, originally released as Columbia 33CX 1415, features David Oistrakh in two cornerstone works: Tartini's Devil's Trill Sonata and Mozart's Violin Sonata in B-flat major, K. 454.

Available for the first time on vinyl in stereo, this album benefits from the 2024 remastering from the original tapes made for the Oistrakh / The Warner Classics Edition box. As a bonus, the release includes Debussy's Clair de lune, taken from Oistrakh's Encores album.

Lightnin' Hopkins (1912-1982) was a country bluesman of the highest caliber whose career began in the 1920s and stretched all the way into the 1980s. One of the most influential blues guitarists to come out of the state of Texas, Hopkins' unique fingerpicking guitar style would alternate single-note leads with rhythm and bass guitar, adding percussive elements by slapping or tapping the body of his guitar. The Rooster Crowed in England was recorded in 1959, a few years before Hopkins' first trip across the Atlantic. His first London trip would take place as part of the 1964 International American Folk Blues Festival. THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 2 BONUS TRACKS - 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL - LIMITED EDITION

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1939, Jorge Ben's characteristic style fuses samba, funk, rock and bossa nova with lyrics that blend humor and satire with often esoteric subject matter.

Limited edition 180-gram vinyl reissue of the classic album The Big Soul of John Lee Hooker features the legendary bluesman's soulful recordings along with select bonus tracks

Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a gospel singer, songwriter and guitarist who was unique in her genre as the pioneer of performing gospel using an electric guitar, to the extent that many of her records and performances have been seen as early examples of rock 'n' roll, and she acquired the nicknames "the original soul sister" and "the Godmother of rock 'n' roll". Rock 'n' roll artists like Elvis Presley and Little Richard, and blues guitarists like Eric Clapton and Jeff beck cite her as an influence. This rocking 16 track LP includes releases with Lucky Millinder's Orchestra, duets with fellow gospel singer Marie Knight, and tracks where she is accompanied by The Sam Price Trio. Her work strayed into the mainstream R&B market, and this collection includes her US R&B hits "Strange Things Happening Every Day", "Precious Memories", "Up Above My Head I Hear Music In The Air" and "Silent Night" alongside single releases from her iconic album "Gospel Train". She was an artist who broke the mould of how gospel could be performed and this collection from a key era of her career is a substantial and entertaining showcase for her unique approach.
