Jo Lawry's new jazz trio album featuring bassist Linda May Han Oh and drummer Allison Miller.

5 'Deed I Do

I fall in love too easily

Needs Now Is Love

Audrey Ochoa’s best album yet features inspired and personal compositions performed by an all-star lineup with seamless live-off-the-floor execution.

“My father used to tell me ‘…it’s better to be the head of a mouse than the tail of a lion.’

I didn’t write [these tunes] with any specific musicians in mind – unlike previous albums – so when it came time to start planning the recording, I realized I was going to need different rhythm sections, strings, additional horns and a bass trombone – 12 musicians spread across 13 tracks. I tried to highlight everyone – they’re all musicians I admire so much, it wasn’t hard to find places for them to shine.

All the songs are personal – they’re about family, grief, relationships – I wrote them in late 2020/2021, when live performance was restricted, so composition was all I had as an outlet. I guess I was writing my own comfort music, borrowing from artists like Donny Hathaway and Daniel Caesar – and trying to include styles that I grew up playing, like Ska and Salsa. I even threw in a trombone chorale, a shout-out to my years playing in trombone quartets and choirs – I even sing on one of the tracks.

This is without a doubt my favourite album. We recorded all the tracks in four days, and had it mixed the following week. It was recorded live off the floor – did two to three takes of each tune. I had the artwork finished before we even started recording. Everything about this album came together very easily – it wasn’t a stressful endeavour.” – Audrey Ochoa

B2. Lamarca na Gafieira

JUST LIKE THE FIRST TIME

A haunting yet charming original jazz piece by UGLYTHEY depicting someone who takes people pleasing to the highest place of delusion, fully convinced of possessing the ability to make anyone love them, even someone sent to kill them. UGLYTHEY was influenced by Harold Arlen and Ella Fitzgerald for this tune. This metaphor for domestic violence  is an urgent warning to anyone in a situation like this to reach out, get help, and leave. Your life and safety is never worth trying to love someone. Call 800-799-7233 for a domestic violence hotline.
