Mix of the Week: Hotthobo - Night Cream

“The spirit of vintage hard-bop is reimagined on the first great jazz record of 2023! Originals and compositions by Waldron, Shorter, Monk, and more travel new yet familiar paths as the Aleksi Heinola Quartet pilot the grooves with swing, style, and stellar musicianship” – Syd Schwartz / Jazz and Coffee

In the autumn of 2021, four musicians and close friends joined forces for a week of touring and recording. This double longplayer album captures the essence of their appraise live performances accumulating in a 2-day recording frenzy at the legendary Finnvox studios Helsinki. The album features a mix of new and original Aleksi Heinola compositions and works by jazz greats such as Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, Joe Henderson, and Cedar Walton.

The recording session was intense, with the group experimenting and playing together nonstop for two days. Their pre-studio performances shaped the music and created a expressive atmosphere in the studio, capturing the tight interplay and energy of a group fresh off tour.

Aleksi’s latest album represents a significant progression from his prior releases. However, he remains steadfast in his unwavering devotion to the jazz style that he holds most dear. The album serves as a tribute to the enduring legacy of hard-bop, characterized by its emphasis on captivating melodic phrasing, infectious swing rhythms, and a distinctive artistic flair that sets it apart from other modern works within the genre.

The quartet is composed of an impressive array of talent, featuring Finnish drummer Aleksi Heinola, Hungarian tenor saxophonist Gábor Bolla, Finnish pianist Jukkis Uotila, and Swedish double bassist Daniel Franck. A must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking for a fresh and captivating sound.

Album comes limited as a gatefold 2x180g LP with insert. Official release date is 17 March.

Aleksi Heinola Quartet - 2xLP Snippets

Stefano De Santis – Jazztronica Radio Show May 4th, 2023

For his third full-length release, Matt Emonson AKA Mat/Matix has remixed and mastered a tape of his 2013-2016 creations dubbed ‘850,’ an ode to his 1997 Volvo station wagon. Moved by Larry Heard’s Sceneries Not Songs Vol. 1-2, Emonson has painted his own aural landscape including batches of uptempo synth funk, street soul, g-funk, and jazzy house. Toiled over for many years, this instrumental album is the sound of a young producer discovering their unique darkened west-coast sound. In ’Mountain Mist,’ a wall of drum breaks and synths give way to a soulful guitar solo. ‘Loons’ takes a swing groove through dusty layers of classic 12 bit samples. ‘Robertson’s Jam’ is a dance floor workout of digital synth textures reminiscent of a midnight drive through the city. 850 is a nostalgic 40-minute journey to bump in the car, feel on a pair of headphones, or jam at a house party. Choose your own path.

90 minutes of heaviness featuring the boogie beats of Buscrates, John Carroll Kirby’s latest single on Stones Throw featuring Eddie Chacon, Moodymann’s remix of the Sun Palace’s classic “Rude Movements”, Jordan Rakei with the return of his alter ego Dan Kye forthcoming on Rhythm Section International. a couple of tracks from the latest Potatohead People album, Daniel Maunick with a jazz house banger, Soul Supreme with a great rendition of Tony Palkovic’s “Born with a Desire”, a little tribute to the late great Ira Sullivan and as always much, much more inside the mix…

Hope you enjoy it!
