MIMS is excited to share “Brotherhood”, the thrilling new single by Glasgow-based ensemble corto.alto, led by trombonist, producer and composer, Liam Shortall. The first song taken from ‘Not For Now’, the ensemble’s most important release to date, due for release later this year on Bristol’s increasingly essential Worm Discs imprint. 

‘Not For Now’ follows an acclaimed series of DIY self-releases and videos, released over the course of a year from May 2019. The highlights were collated on a sold-out vinyl EP on Worm Discs and received support across Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland.In this short but productive space of time, corto.alto were awarded for Best Band and Album at the Scottish Jazz Awards 2020, and received a personal invitation by Gilles Peterson to perform at We Out Here 2021. 

Originally conceived as a self-imposed challenge for Liam to release new music every three weeks for a year, corto.alto’s incredible success has postponed any plans to end the project. As Liam puts it, “so I called this E.P “Not for Now”, in reply to “Is That It?”, the last track from “Live at 435”, featuring a hero of mine, Soweto Kinch”. Lockdown gave Liam plenty of time “to better gauge a sense of perspective of where I fit as an artist in the world of music” and find the right balance between “over intellectualised” or “over commercialised” ‘jazz’.

Shortall is able to call on musicians of the highest calibre, from Glasgow and beyond, to give life to his compositions. Among them rising saxophonist Harry Weir, pianist Fergus McCreadie and drummer Graham Costello of STRATA fame. Nubiyan Twist & Onipa co-founder, Tom Excell, not only contributes on percussion, but co-produces ‘Not For Now’ alongside Shortall, adding the midas touch that has undoubtedly contributed to Nubiyan Twist’s incredible success.

“I wrote “Not for Now” as a reminder to myself to focus on the things that should matter to me: friendship, brotherhood, love, family, joy. The same things that are easily forgotten in regular day to day life. Making this release really helped me re-calibrate my priorities moving forward. It’s also a celebration of the relationships and bonds we have with each other, more specifically the connection we have between ourselves and other musicians.”

“Brotherhood” features the spoken word talents of Franz Von, MC and frontman for K.O.G & The Zongo Brigade, delivering effortlessly over irregular time signatures and shrieking brass. Shortall wrote the song after a Mungo’s Hi-Fi and Eva Lazarus gig, inspired to combine the energy of sound system culture with Latin jazz. 

“Brotherhood” sees full release on November 12, with the full mini-album, vinyl and digital, following on November 26 on Worm Discs.

We’re in for a treat today! On “Silver Afternoon”, Worm Discs affiliated power-jazz duo Run Logan Run return with their biggest record to date, adding vocals and orchestral strings to their signature tenor sax & drums sound.

Bristol-based duo Run Logan Run (Andrew Neil Hayes on tenor saxophone & Matt Brown on drums) team up with vocalist Annie Gardiner, producer Riaan Vosloo (Nostalgia 77) and a nine-piece ensemble for nine-minute single “Silver Afternoon” - their most ambitious statement yet. Continuing their relationship with local indie Worm Discs; “Silver Afternoon” will be available digitally and on vinyl as an extremely Limited 12” Single (with a ‘B’ side featuring locked groove samples from their forthcoming album) on 5th August 2022.

At the forefront of Bristol’s contribution to the new UK Jazz scene, Run Logan Run fuse powerful polyrhythmic breakbeats with screaming guttural saxophone and electronic manipulation to create a sound that’s direct, adventurous and elemental. 

Following their critically acclaimed third album ‘For A Brief Moment We Could Smell The Flowers’, they return with a bold statement reflecting their ceaseless search for something bigger... “Silver Afternoon”, an extended amalgamation of grooves and orchestral textures that sees the duo branch out into large ensemble performance for the first time.

The record was born out of Bristol’s Ankh Sanctuary concerts, a series Run Logan Run started during the third C19 lockdown, that provided space for artists to continue taking creative risks. There, they teamed up with bassist, composer and producer Riaan Vosloo for a forty-minute improvised set, eventually released on London’s PLAYNEUTRAL label in December 2021. 

This collaborative spirit informed the creation of “Silver Afternoon”, which is based around three melodies – one by Andrew, one by Matt and one by vocalist Annie Gardiner. They’re backed by a large ensemble which includes a string quartet, brass section and full backline, featuring many stars from the nascent Bristol instrumental scene.

The resulting track takes an intensely focused sound, and stretches it in multiple directions.
Vosloo’s detailed orchestrations bend two enticing ideas into endlessly inventive shapes, forming the backbone of the song and providing Hayes with fertile ground to let rip with trademark expressive soloing. 

Inspired by the likes of Archie Shepp’s ‘Attica Blues’, Mats Gustafsson’s Fire! Orchestra, and with notes of Nubiyan Twist, Natacha Atlas and Soweto Kinch, Silver Afternoon is a slow burner that swells into a vibrant, lucid statement of intent.

The recording of Silver Afternoon was supported by The PRS Open Fund for Music Creators, and the Ankh Sanctuary sessions by Arts Council England.

Bristolian promoters Worm Disco Club have been championing South-Western talent since their inception in 2014. Having collaborated with Glastonbury Festival on their notorious ‘Wormhole’ stage and hosted the likes of The Comet Is Coming, The Heliocentrics and The Mauskovic Dance Band at their regular club night, the name has become synonymous with quality groove laden goodness, percussive madness, jazz, psych and beyond. Returning with another essential slab of South-Western talent on their label Worm Discs, this time it’s the turn of six-piece Bristolian collective Dundundun to step up to the plate.  Dundundun combines African and Latin rhythms with jazz & electronics to create uplifting soundscapes and deep hypnotic grooves. Packed with a wealth of experience, their respective members have spent the past decade touring the world and darkening studios with The Heavy, Alice Russell, Pete Josef, DJ Die and Dele Sosimi, bringing a rich heritage of sound straight out of Bristol’s thriving music scene. 'Dun In Outer Space' is the group's original take on Sun Ra’s classic track “Love In Outer Space - expect beat-heavy sonics with soaring-horns, subterranean bass and keyboard wizardry, arpeggiating multi-layered vibrations born from a mutual respect of past musical idioms and future musical legacies.
