Almost Five

7th SENSE ft. Liam Shortall - Almost Five (TS Premiere)

Within Without, the expansive string laden centre of Scrimshire's 2021 album Nothing Feels Like Everything, receives a beautiful rework from long-time friend and collaborator Emanative. 

Scrimshire and Emanative appeared in the London Jazz scene around the same time in 2008 and in fact in 2010 Scrimshire remixed song Illusions, from Nick Woodmansey's debut record. Now the prolific producer and writer returns the favour with a meditative and uplifting take.

The bonds on this rework are many and deep as both artists have worked extensively with Jessica Lauren over the years. In this remix, Nick brings more of his own collaborators along for the ride, with additional saxophone and vocals lifting this peaceful "optimistical" version.

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 205

Today's exclusive, "Ostatni Sygnal" (meaning "Last Signal"), comes from "post jazz" duo Twoosty Mayonez, on Poland's ever-consisent U Know Me Records.

Twoosty Mayonez consists of Bartosz Wolert (drums) and Dominik Kaniewski (bass guitar and synthesizers). "Carmin" is their debut album, which will be released primarily on vinyl by U Know Me Records next week. 

According to Twoosty Mayonez, "Ostatni Sygnal" is the "last track from our debut album, but for sure not the last track from the planet Carmin". 

"Things don't always go your way, especially when your plans involve space travel. In the case of Captain Harrison Focus's expedition, it started innocently, but no one was prepared for an emergency landing on the mysterious planet Carmin. Only then did the real fight for survival begin. This record tells the story of a dangerous expedition into space that began on February 6, 2023."

Azar Azar’s latest album, Cosmic Drops, is a vibrant and explosive package of fiery jazz that ties together many of Sérgio Alves’ external inspirations, from afrobeat and funk to house, broken beat, and electronic music. The album showcases a sound for every type of listener, whether they want to chill out or get up and dance. Among the nine tracks on the album, there is one that particularly stands out: “Subway.”

“Subway,” as Azar Azar explains, “intends to emulate a jam session that could spontaneously occur if you met Moodymann in a subway station. But deep down, it's a jam session that I did with myself and Sam (saxophonist) since I played all the instruments with the exception of the sax!” The track is a perfect example of the unique blend of afro-latin-tinged funk and hip hop that Azar Azar has become known for, made using organic and electronic instruments.

The result is a beautiful and mellow groove that is both subtle and unassuming yet stimulating and intense. The track has a certain aura that feels like the perfect soundtrack for a lazy Sunday afternoon, but also has the potential to get you up and dancing.

Azar Azar has a way of seamlessly blending genres and creating something that is uniquely their own, and “Subway” is a perfect example of this. It’s a jam session that Sérgio did with himself and Sam, but it feels like a collaboration with the listener, inviting them to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Overall, Cosmic Drops is a snapshot of Azar Azar at the top of their game, and “Subway” is just one of the many gems on this incredible album.

Story
No cry for love…
The Beginning
No cry for love…
Clara and Daniel were a young couple, full of plans. They liked to walk through the city at sunset, share songs in the kitchen, and dream of trips they hadn't yet taken. Everything seemed open, like a horizon without limits.

One day, the word ALS entered their lives. At first, it was a medical whisper, a diagnosis that seemed foreign. But it soon became a certainty… Clara would have to live with an illness that would gradually limit her movements.
Daniel looked at her then with a newfound strength. There was no fear in his eyes, but a silent promise… “You won't walk alone.”

The Shared Journey
No cry for love…
The disease progressed, and with it, their routines changed. Clara could no longer button her blouse, and Daniel learned to do it delicately, as if each button were a petal.

When the spoon slipped from her hands, he would catch it and bring it to her lips. It wasn't a gesture of pity, but of complicity... eating together became an intimate ritual, where each bite was an act of love.
Clara, though her muscles were losing strength, retained her laughter. And that laughter was a beacon... illuminating the afternoons, reminding Daniel that life was still beautiful, even in fragility.

The Language of Love
No cry for love...
The love between them reinvented itself. It no longer depended on grand words, but on small gestures...
• A look that said more than a thousand words.

• A caress on the forehead that soothed weariness.

• A song listened to in silence, where the notes spoke for them.

Daniel discovered that true greatness lay in the everyday... in patiently washing her hair, in tenderly drying her hands, in holding her when the world seemed too heavy. Clara, for her part, gifted him the strength of her spirit. Although her body weakened, her presence was more intense than ever. She taught him that dignity is never lost, that beauty can reside even in vulnerability.

The serene sunset
No cry for love…
Time continued its course. Clara needed more and more help, but she was never alone. Daniel became the guardian of her light, ensuring that each day had music, companionship, and meaning.

When the time came to say goodbye, there was no tragedy. There was silence, tenderness, and gratitude. Clara closed her eyes, held by Daniel's hand, and he felt that it wasn't an ending, but a transformation… the love they had shared didn't fade, it became a luminous memory.

Epilogue
No cry for love…
Daniel continued walking through the city at dusk. Clara was no longer by his side, but every gesture they had shared remained alive within him. When he buttoned his shirt, when he heard a song, when he looked at the sky, he felt her presence.

Clara and Daniel's story wasn't one of pain, but of love. Proof that even in fragility, life can be magnificent. Because true strength lies not in muscles, but in a heart that gives itself without measure.
