“Aurelius’ Letter” is a 19-song journey through the echoes of ancient philosophy carried by the fierce, vibrant pulse of Balkan music. Blending traditional rhythms, haunting brass, driving percussion, and soulful strings, the album transforms Marcus Aurelius’ Stoic wisdom into a living, breathing soundscape.

Every track reads like a letter—written from one soul to another—guiding listeners through themes of resilience, purpose, inner strength, and the battle between chaos and clarity. The melodies rise and fall like the mountains and markets of the Balkans, where passion meets discipline and emotion dances with reason.

This is an album of intensity and introspection: fiery arrangements wrapped around timeless reflections, creating a unique fusion of philosophy and folklore.
A soundtrack for those searching for meaning, for grounding, for a steady voice in a noisy world.

“Aurelius’ Letter” invites the listener to step inside the mind of a philosopher—
and come out changed.

The Shizzle : 12 Aug 2020

Hi everybody we’re back with a very special guest: Manu Boubli, the co-owner of Superfly Records and the guy who has introduced me to deep spiritual Jazz 15 years ago.

For this 27th show I started the first half of the mix with only Future Classics with the lovely spiritual tunes by Asher Gamedze, Phi-Psonics, Raffy Bushman, Cool Affair & Sisonke Xonti  and Tenderlonious. Also, the contemporary ambient jazz of Hania Rani and the brand new brazil flavored sound from Caixa Cubo, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge feat Azymuth and A Bossa Elétrica for a killer Roy Ayers’ Cover.

Manu Boubli chose a great selection of his “favorite things” featuring some forgotten and very rare spiritual jazz nuggets from Catalyst , The Lightmen Plus One, Brother Ah, Ayizan, Jack Wilkins , Steve Colson Unity and Sun Ra And His Outer Space Arkestra. For all the jazz dancers you can find the killer tune from David Wertman Sun Ensemble “Forrest Dance”, what a Tune!

Coincidentally, as Nat Birchall did for My Favorite Things Vol 26, Manu opened his set from a deep reggae track from Count Ossie & The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari, definitely a must have record. Enjoy!
