Wes Montgomery "Echoes of Indiana Avenue"

Deluxe digi-pack and Limited edition 2 LP, 180 gram

With a lot of sleuthing and a team of experts on the case, long lost tapes of Wes Montgomery have been discovered and restored. Resonance Records will release Echoes of Indiana Avenue - the first full album of previously unheard Montgomery music in over 25 years - on March 6, 2012, which would have been Montgomery's 88th birthday. Over a year and a half in the making, the release will provide a rare, revealing glimpse of a bona fide guitar legend. The tapes are the earliest known recordings of Montgomery as a leader, pre-dating his auspicious 1959 debut on Riverside Records. The album showcases Montgomery in performance from 1957-1958 at nightclubs in his hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana, as well as rare studio recordings. The release is also beautifully packaged, containing previously unseen photographs and insightful essays by noted music writers and musicians alike, including guitarist Pat Martino and Montgomery's brothers Buddy and Monk.
" This newly discovered collection of recordings captures not only the magic that was Wes, but also the wonderful Indianapolis jazz scene of which he was so proudly a part. " - Dr. David N. Baker

Fresh from releasing his excellent ‘Live At The Mac’ album in December of last year, 2016 Northern Ireland Music Prize winner Ciaran Lavery is back with ‘A King At Night’, set for release on the 22nd of April. A collection of Bonnie Prince Billy numbers, the five track EP will be released as a special Record Store Day offering.

Will Oldham is an artist that has long fascinated Lavery and this release acts as ‘a fitting nod of appreciation’ to the legendary songwriter. Given the depth of Oldham’s back catalogue as Bonnie Prince Billy, Ciaran had a wealth of extraordinary tracks to choose from, leading him to plump for ones ‘that sat well within the realms of the world we created in the studio’. ‘New Partner’, the lead track from the EP, is a beautifully delicate rumination on new - found love, while ‘Horses’ features exquisite strings and brass. ‘Bad Man’ is a punchy, brooding number, its sharp electric guitar part adding a menacing undertone. ‘Beast For Thee’ is entirely subtle yet incredibly powerful and perhaps the EP’s most sensitive moment, while closer ‘Miss Me When I Burn’ needs only simple piano, coupled with Ciaran’s sensitive, aching, vocal performance to carry the weight of such an emotional track.

In 2014, Lavery’s Kosher EP and Not Nearly Dark album achieved global acclaim and recognition when the tracks Shame and Left For America racked up more than 29 Million listens on Spotify, on which he now has upwards of 60 Million plays. Ciaran won last year’s Northern Ireland Music Prize for his second full - length album ‘Let Bad In’, the second time he has been up for the award. In 2015 he won the Big Break, a search for Ireland’s hottest talent, set up by Hot Press magazine. A profoundly beautiful tribute to the work of Bonnie Prince Billy, Ciaran Lavery’s ‘A King At Night’ is released through Believe Recordings on the 22nd of April.

“To me personally, Will Oldham defines the modern day artist in that he is always evolving and creating. He never hangs around long enough in one space to become predictable and he lives through his music” Ciaran Lavery
