What Does It Take To Bloom? Is her ninth album overall and her first collection of original songs in six years. Musically, it also represents a new chapter in collaboration. During sessions in Lagos, Somi connected with Benjamin James, whose partnership would become pivotal. As one-half of the Nigerian duo The Cavemen., James brings a contemporary approach to heritage-centred sound.
A Great Day in Newcastle' is a musical documentation of the North East working-class experience. Through a storytelling approach, with the addition of new member and poet Cooper Robson, the record explores darker themes such as substance abuse, crime and toxic masculinity within a distinct Geordie jazz noir soundscape
Glera is a genre-bending jazz record that folds in soul and reggae’s elastic low end with an open-door sense of possibility. The project began three years ago as a kind of private exercise, with Benevento writing intuitively, inspired by Italian film scores and melody. Over time, those sketches evolved into something broader and more muscular, culminating in the grand majesty heard here.
Sixty-four years after John Coltrane recorded the groundbreaking Africa/Brass for Impulse!, Tenderlonious honours the original recording while pushing it forward with a Coltrane-like fervour of his own. Africa/Brass Live was recorded at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival in October 2025, as part of Pique-nique's Take Two series. Each Take Two event begins with an uninterrupted, high-fidelity playback of a seminal album, heard as it was originally intended, followed by a live reinterpretation with full artistic freedom. It's an experiment into what happens when serious musicians immerse themselves in a work long enough to discover their own path through it.
Originally conceived as a dual EP cycle, the project unfolds across two contrasting sonic worlds. ‘as night falls’ explores nocturnal electro-jazz, midnight funk and introspective, groove-led textures, while ‘as day breaks’ shifts toward warmth, clarity and forward motion, capturing the quiet optimism of first light.
Lithic’ is Laura Misch’s immersive new album, a sonic journey through stone, water, wind and lightning. Misch conjures music from caves, quarries, rock pools and coastal edges, merging field recordings with saxophone, voice, electronics, strings, and percussion. ‘Lithic’ is a meditation on nature, aging and connection, offering listeners a profound, elemental listening experience that is at once visceral, meditative and electrifying.
Trombonist / composer Robinson Khoury is one of the most prominent and visible rising stars on the French jazz and cross-genre scene. A charismatic live performer, his breakthrough came in 2024 with the album ‘MŸA’, featuring his trio with percussionist Anissa Nehari and keyboardist Léo Yassef. This group, in which Khoury plays not just trombone but also modular synths - he sings as well - became a tightly-knit and vibrant musical unit, with the title of their debut album becoming the band name Robinson Khoury MŸA. The trio now take centre stage on their ACT debut album, ‘Transara’.
A rhythm-driven, analog-leaning record built from hypnotic basslines, warm synth textures, and layered percussion, “Simulacra” is the debut LP from Venetian bassist and producer Eric Demuro, a fully realized studio statement that brings his compositional voice into focus. The album moves through hazy jazz-funk, ambient passages, library psychedelia, and Brazilian rhythmic language without settling into revivalism. Fender Rhodes figures, hand percussion, and vintage keyboards drift through spacious arrangements that favor tone and movement over density, creating a sound that feels tactile, patient, and quietly
Moving Images is a collaborative album by composers Frank Maston and Greg Foat, and marks the inaugural release on Magic Hollow, the new imprint founded by Daniel O'Sullivan. Rooted firmly in the tradition of classic library music, the album draws from the deep, elegant end of the form: vintage keyboards, analogue synthesis, drum machines, and melodic economy, realised with clarity, warmth, and restraint.
In the last few weeks of October 2022, Scrimshire wrote a new collection of songs with the descriptive working title "Scream". A direct response to the absurdity of the breakdown in the UK government, the horror of the treatment of refugees arriving on our shores and the callous disregard for the trauma being caused to low-income people or anyone considered "other". The anger, sadness, mourning, and frustration he felt was poured into these recordings.
List of Demands, Damon Locks' first foray into creating an entire album from spoken and text-based work, finds the Chicago-based musician and educator collecting cultural abstractions and reorganizing them into a firm truth. The album lays out a vision of Black liberation and transmits it outward as a song cycle of bite-sized.
Australian 9-piece Spiritual Jazz group Menagerie announce their highly anticipated fourth album 'The Shores Of Infinity' - representing the 3rd LP to be released by Freestyle Records from the Melbourne-based Jazz ensemble, founded by producer, songwriter, guitarist, DJ and recording artist Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos, Lanu, Rare Groove Spectrum, Machines Always Win).

First released in 2004 under the pseudonym Phynix, Primal Prayer’s 8 tracks are a wildly creative fusion of jazz, world, dance and classical influences. Sonically the album is almost without comparison, a life-affirming acknowledgement of the many paths we humans walk to enable us to open our hearts and lives to each other.
