Little Sunflower

Little Sunflower (Freddie Hubbard) - live aus der LUISE

I’ve been sat on this one a little while. Amanda and I have been in communication now since around 2021, after a few messages we met for the first time backstage at We Out Here. We started collaborating almost immediately, and yet none of that work has seen light of day. 

Initially she recorded pieces for what was supposed to be Believers Vol. 2, but as that project stalled heavily and I dropped it to make Paroxysm, much of the music got archived - including this piece, Red Weather. 

Red Weather is a meditation on increasing global temperatures, it sounds to me like a heat haze, like the shimmering air above baked earth. As the annual weather warnings increase, even 2 years after this song’s inception, it remains increasingly relevant. 

I hope you’ll enjoy this seven-minute meditation. It is not rushed, it is full of space and texture, languid Rhodes gives way to the breeze of Amanda’s harp which in turn metamorphs in and out of Moog synths, the melody intertwined. I love taking lead melodies like Amanda’s playing here and converting them to information I can run into my synths and it really works so beautifully here. 

The single is out on Wednesday and we hope to share more of our up-til-now hidden collaborations soon. 

Red Weather feat. Amanda Whiting

Budapest born and based producer/keyboardist Szabolcs Bognar starts his new collaborative jazz project https://soundcloud.com/abasemusic with debut single "Skeme goes all city".
The base of the track is a smooth cinematic sounding riverbed of soothing harmonies where different instruments flow around in repetitive phrases. Every phrase repeats itself in the perfect length, as soon as you get your fix - a new melody kicks in.
"We wrote and recorded the track in one improvised studio session back in 2016. I brought the harmonic structure and the main melody and the band built on top of that. Everyone brought something to the table. It was recorded in the oldschool way, all the musicians in the same room, no headphones, no chance for correcting mistakes or editing. Raw. The title is a dedication to the New York graffiti pioneer Skeme and the power of self expression in Hip Hop culture." - Àbáse

EP/LP coming soon...

Àbáse - Skeme Goes All City

Mixed and produced by Adam Scrimshire
Mastered by Walter Coelho
Artwork from a painting by Jonny Drop
All kit drums played and recorded by Chris Boot.
All other instruments including Fender Rhodes, piano, Juno-6, percussion, drum programming, guitars and bass by Adam Scrimshire. 

His fourth album, musically, 'Listeners' draws from Scrimshire's passion for jazz, soul and electronic music of all styles; from an energetic combination of Afrobeat and garage on 'Won't Get Better', to the lushly orchestrated neo-soul of 'Thru You', and the harmonious jazz experimentations of 'I Never'. The album features a host of esteemed guest vocalists and musicians telling their own personal stories, including Georgia Anne Muldrow, Emma-Jean Thackray, Joshua Idehen, Madison McFerrin, Chip Wickham, and James Alexander Bright.

"With this album I wanted to get a more focused sound after six years of relearning and development in the studio. But I also struggled to find my own words, to speak about where I/we are now. So I allowed my collaborators total freedom to tell their own story and as they came back to me, they were telling the same stories I wanted to. It's resulted in some deeply personal confessional pieces: mourning family, collapsing relationships, extremes of self doubt and analysis, trying to balance public and inner persona, and a reminder that life in all forms is important.

It’s called 'Listeners' as I am a listener here, I feel like I've been given these very personal experiences to care for. Listeners because, the travesty of the last few years is that we stopped listening to each other, everyone is shouting at each other and no one is learning. And Listeners because I hope I've made something that is for other people more than I have before. I've tried to craft something warmer and more enjoyable, made for those who give me their time in listening to my music."
- Adam Scrimshire

Since joining the Wah Wah 45s label in 2007, Scrimshire has released three albums of experimental cinematic jazz, and electronic sounds. Following his 2009 debut ‘Along Came The Devil One Night​’, his second album ‘The Hollow’ (2011) was a BBC 6 Music Album of the Week, with Gilles Peterson calling it “A late contender for album of the year”.

In the time since the release of his last album ‘Bight’ (“An eclectic range of influences ranging from disco to fusion to more contemporary electronic styles” XLR8R) in 2013, Adam has worked with long-time musical accomplice Dave Koor on new project Modified Man, and launched Albert’s Favourites releasing projects by The Expansions, Hector Plimmer and Jonny Drop. He has continued to gain radio and DJ support for his successful “Scrimshire Edits” series and has produced and mixed records for artist including Stac, Daudi Matsiko, Bastien Keb, Rōnin Arkestra, Jonny Drop.

Crossroads

The Munich Latin jazz collective Jazz ConClave offers a refreshing blend of jazz, Latin, and salsa.

With its lineup of flute, vibraphone, bass, and two Latin American percussion pieces, the quintet is reminiscent of the music of Cal Tjader and Dave Valentin, but possesses a distinctive character with a fresh sound and original compositions.

Their music—at times floating, at times dynamically driving—doesn't fit neatly into conventional jazz stylistic categories. Woven with catchy themes, it has the potential to become ingrained in the listener's memory, something everyone will best experience for themselves live.

Line-up:
Adam Muschielok (fl, comp), Rainer Szalata (vib), Bruno Marek (b), Markus Herm (perc), Dietmar Imgart-Haug (perc)
