Alexei Aigui: I Am Not Your Negro [OST]

Alexei Aigui I Am Not Your Negro (Soundtrack) Lakeshore Records I’ve not seen the film yet but I know enough of Baldwin’s work to want to see it and another thing that’s egging me on is this wonderful score. Russian-born composer Alexei Aigui manages a dance between the late-night boozy-woozy jazz of a Mike Figgis […]

Gjertrud Lunde: Hjemklang

Gjertrud Lunde Hjemklang Ozella Norwegian singer Gjertrud Lunde creates an ethereal jazz/folk blend across Hjemklang, the waft of special guest Arve Henriksen’s trumpet is a key feature (Gjendines Badnlat) and the slowly-winding guitar of Florian Zenker a crucial tonic.

Arve Henriksen: Places of Worship

Arve Henriksen Places of Worship Rune Grammofon It would be hard to find a more profoundly moving musical experience captured on disc this year. Okay, the obvious thing to mention is The Necks’ Open, and though that sprawls as one long piece, where Places of Worship, is most certainly song/mood-based (10 relatively short pieces) there is […]
