New releases and pre-orders 4th May 2018

There are some great albums out this week, mainly jazz based but some real gems.
Lakecia Benjamin really shines on ‘Rise’ a superb album of funky jazz grooves. Joe Armon Jones from Ezra Collective makes his debut album on Brownswood ‘Starting today’, which is another great album highlighting the emerging British Jazz artists. Jessica Lauren returns with another strong album and guitarist Chance Hayden debuts with a nice album ft Jarrod Lawson on an incredible cover of Donny Hathaway’s ‘Someday we’ll all be free’. Ghostnote give us some Snarky puppy-ish madness , and there are good albums from Eddie Henderson, David Garfield,and Robin McKelle and more.
Ed Motta compiled ‘Too slow to disco’ a good comp of Brazilian Aor on CD and we still have a few Coloured vinyl copies from RSD. There are good vinyl reissues from Kimiko Kasai, Natural High and
Metro Area, a couple of very good World music titles from Chiekh Lo  and Ali Farke Toure.
