Taos holds a special place in my heart and Taos is particularly beautiful in June, the month of this album’s original release. Yes, one can still anticipate the occasional out-of-season snow flurry, but the trees and flowers are in full bloom, the 350-year-old irrigation ditches are flowing with snowmelt from Taos Mountain and the blue skies and desert views stretch into infinity.

After a series of epic, sprawling and headphones-friendly albums, Motorpsycho is back with a short, reasonably pop-formatted and intimate album of mainly acoustically based songs. For once playing the game instead of trying to reinvent it, this 10-song album of tunes is clearly a reaction in some way to too much architecture and too many grand visions, and dials the music down to more comprehensive and digestible sizes than have been the band's métier lately.

Caterina Barbieri is set to release a sister album of her 2019's acclaimed “Ectatic Computation”. “Myuthafoo“ will be out on June 2.

The fascination of the four instruments played by the two musicians: Italian works of the 16th and 17th centuries - The first album of I Filatori di Musica, focusing on Italian works of the late 16th and 17th centuries, where the fascination of the four instruments played by the two musicians comes into play, and pursuing free expression beyond the research. This is a piece that pursues free expression beyond research.

Today, the modern horn is usually tuned to F or B flat as a double horn and has a range of more than three octaves. The album Se hace saber (Let it be known) by the Valencian horn player María Rubio shows off the modern instrument in its purest essence without forgetting its history, displaying the huge range of sonorous and artistic options that it has to offer solo or together with rather unconventional colleagues. All in all, a very Mediterranean contemporary portrait of the horn in the XXI century through the visions of eight national and international composers.

Our second release by organist Eric Plutz debuts on Friday June 16, "BACH -The Gamut From A To G".

Composed at the Court of Coethen (1718 -1723), these six sonatas are a testament to a boundless imagination and an incredible creative power. J.S. Bach excels in the Ars combinatoria where thematic responses with two or three voices flourish, and cultivates with tenderness the art of moving and convincing in his slow movements.

A native of Prague, Jean-Baptiste Krumpholtz (1747-1790) acquired a passion for the harp at a young age and, after the encouragement of Haydn, became one of the most renowned harpists in Paris. His innovations in harp design enhanced its sound, and his compositions were highly appreciated by his contemporaries and for a long time after his tragic death. Recorded here together for the first time, the six Sonates en forme de scènes adopted the German sensitive style and used free form as a medium for maximum expressive depth, being admired by one commentator for their ‘profound sense of harmony and unexpected modulations’.

Bibik's music is a rigorous postcard of the Ukrainian aesthetic landscape of the second half of the 20th century, depicting a broad and powerful Sovietism - which fully recognised him - and also a glow in the dark, where composing was a risk, a humanistic commitment.

It is an adventure to immerse oneself in the Norwegian treasury of song. There is so much magnificent music, and so much of it bears witness to the time in which it was written. Sigurd Lie was one of the eminent and gifted composers at the end of the nineteenth century. His body of work includes instrumental music and music for male choir and, above all, around 75 songs seldom performed after his death. The song texts were written by Norwegian poets, among them Vilhelm Krag, Sigbjørn Obstfelder and Per Sivle. This is the first of two releases in which Kielland and Mortensen illuminate all the songs and let them shine.

Echoes off Cliffs – a symphony in rural surroundings for accordion, electroacoustics and six speakers (2021).

After years of creating pop soul with hip swinging big bands, Oliver Nelson returned with the true successor to his classic “Blues & The Abstract Truth”. A jazz journey through racial politics and pride. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio featuring many top musicians, it was produced by Bob Thiele for his Flying Dutchman label.

"Old school" organ combo fronted by a totally unknown veteran to me. A big positive surprise. Raised in Florida, Frazier's professional music career kicked off as organist in alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson's group and made his recording debut under his own name in 1972.

Pianist Dahveed Behroozi has long hoped to record a solo album of standards that have been ingrained well in his musical memory over the past two decades. His new recording, Standard Fare, allows Behroozi to showcase his own style through the prism these classics provide.

"In tomorrow's world, men will not need artificial instruments such as jets and space ships. In the world of tomorrow, the new man will 'think' the place he wants to go, then his mind will take him there."
