blue note is pleased to announce the release of legendary nigerian drummer tony allens new ep, a tribute to art blakey and the jazz messengers. the 4 titles featured in the ep moanin, the drum thunder suite, night in tunisia, politely provide a preview of his forthcoming first album for blue note (currently scheduled for release in autumn 2017) on which tony allen pays tribute to his longstanding idol, american jazz drummer art blakey.the ep s four titles and the other tracks that make up the album were recorded over three days in paris at the midilive studios, the former facility of the vogue label. the sessions were done in live conditions that saw tony allen and his 8-piece band together in the same room, with the sound channelled through 12 separate mikes onto 2-tape via a sony mci-jh24 analogue multi-track recorder.

after 14 years of close collaboration tony allen stopped working with fela anikulapo kuti. after breaking from the band during the gigs at berlins festival in 1978, tony allen returned to lagos to start working on new compositions. his independence inspired him to break-away from his regular routine of putting 2 tracks on every single album

after the success of the re-edits vol.1 the messengers (kev beadle & darren moss) are back with a couple of peak-time floor fillers for vol.2.
>first left< is a huge funky fusion bomb that will be sure to move any crowd. looping up the classic herbie tune >just around the corner< the boys have added some percussive flavours to give it a summery edge. side 2 is their rework of ray barrettos version of stevie wonders >pastime paradise<. extending the intro and giving it an extra little kick the tune builds into the perfect singalong tune for those bbq afternoons and summer nights.
both tracks have already found their way into the cd cases of gilles peterson, king britt, phil asher, rainer truby, simbad, eddy ramich, mad mats, michael rutten, rob luis, kay suzuki,dom servini, souled, nik weston, dj asparagus and jonny miller and getting major support from them all.

schauspieler und musikliebhaber martin freeman (the hobbit, sherlock, the office) wurde in seiner teenagerzeit in den 80er jahren durch musik von bands wie brand new heavies und dem james taylor quartet geprägt. “jazz on the corner” bündelt die beinahe obsessive liebe von eddie piller, mitgründer des einflussreichen londoner labels acid jazz, und martin freeman zu jazz. cd1 ist von freeman kompiliert, cd2 von piller. auf vinyl sind die tracks durchmischt und über die 4 seiten verteilt. das doppel-vinyl erscheint im klappcover.

selected advent deal. charlois present where is the champion, timothy j. fairplay s first full length solo album. twelve shifting, shuffling and shimmering tracks make up this debut. cruising the highways and byways between proto-techno, horror disco and forlorn wave, fairplay conjures up his creations from metal and smoke. saturated snares, clipped claps and warbling chords are dusted with distortion. and this idea of distortion, manipulation and the blurred line is omnipresent. innocent and sinister, cruel and playful, accepted boundaries are brazenly ignored as engines growl and synthlines soar.

as earlier compilations of danza meccanica have taught us, italy gave birth to a disproportionate number of synth-pop, new wave and electronic acts in the 80s. mannequin goes deeper into the italian new wave archelogical research with a killer 10 tracks selection of carmody. picking their name from a science fiction novel titled dimension of miracles by robert sheckley, carmody were coming from torino, as their pairs monuments and chromagain. started as a duo (alberto ramella and andrea lesmo) and later a trio with max casacci joining in as a guitar player, carmody recorded from 1981 to 1985 and issued three incredibly rare demo tapes. sleep on mirrors compiles the best tracks from those tapes, bringing you one of the most peculiar 80s minimal synth music coming out of italy
