New releases – 18th March 2016

New releases

Chantae Cann has been on our radar for a while with her collaborations with Snarky Puppy and Jarrod Lawson, her beautiful and brilliant debut album Journey to Golden will establish her as one of the leading new female singer songwriters in our music, another album that is sure to be amongst  the best of 2016. Claffy is another new name and their debut album shows a Stevie influence and is another one that gets better on each hearing, great melodies and harmonies on the cusp of Soul and Jazz. Tacuma Bradley and Grant Green Jr also have good jazz albums also on the inspiring Ropeadope label. Silk return with a strong R&B Soul album.
