Organisch, intuïtief en ongepolijst.

Waar een cd opname over het algemeen tot in de puntjes wordt voorbereid koos Richville voor een heel andere aanpak: Vertrouwend op ruim 20 jaar vriendschap, hun liefde voor Rootsmuziek en slechts gewapend met een handvol ruwe schetsen, hooks en grooves werd een studio geboekt.

Ibrahim Maalouf kondigt elfde album aan
De Frans-Libanese jazztrompettist en componist Ibrahim Maalouf heeft zijn elfde studioalbum 'S3NS' aangekondigd. Maalouf staat bekend om zijn vermogen klassiek, jazz en Arabische muziek moeiteloos te mengen met zijn herkenbare, mystieke trompetsound. Zijn muziek klinkt fris, maar toch nostalgisch. Niet echt jazz, niet echt pop, bij vlagen zelfs rock. Ondefinieerbaar, maar toch fijn, precies zoals we van Maalouf gewend zijn.

The Magpie Salute – High Water II

The band was pulled together by guitarist Rich Robinson, it continued a story line he began in The Black Crowes with guitarist Marc Ford and bassist Sven Pipien. ‘High Water II’ picks up where the band’s studio debut left off, much of the album was written during those early recordings at Dark Horse Studios in Nashville which is why the album feels like a perfect continuation of its predecessor.
