Franco Tonani & Nora Orlandi "SFERE LUMINOSE" - 1970 Italian Library masterpiece reissued via Holy Basil with 4 bonus tracks. Out on June/July 2024. Unbelievable session by Nora Orlandi and legendary jazz drummer Franco Tonani with Antonello Vannucchi (of I Marc 4) at Piano\Organ, directed by Giancarlo Gazzani and Robby Poitevin. Easily the best and the most solid Italian lounge library with amazing bossa, cinematic lounge and lounge funk\beat tracks led by the superb wordless vocals of Nora Orlandi plus an uncredited male vocalist with a superb warm sound.

Tracks 9-14, written by Franco Tonani, is very groovy and funky with 3 killer Morricone-esque lounge funk track with heavy drums, groovy "I Marc 4" hammond and loads of female scat vocals and chorus! Killer record, listen!

In fact, we are sitting at the side of the road at the Tagore’s Club, 42 Trill Road, during a sunny and bland day in Cape Town. At the table is sitting a group of young musicians from Germany and Africa: Sebastian Schuster, Zoe Modiga, and Ndumiso Manana. In this moment, a band project will be born that connect cultures, opens new musical horizons for musicians, and delivers a strong, authentical and diverse jazz album. An album that one would not expect out of the combination of Swabian efficiency, Korean restraint, Rhenisch humor and South African serenity: Seba Kaapstad – Tagore’s.

This album will NOT be released on CD or vinyl, it is ONLY available as a digital download and streaming. Digital download available in all formats.

You may understand, you may not, but thats just The Way It Is. Over their 10 year tenure as a band, The Funky Knuckles have developed an increasingly unique voice. Their fifth album, The Way it Is, takes new risks that demonstrate a surprising amount of trust between musicians. The exhilarating recklessness of the improvisations exhibit a level of collaboration that could only come from years of performance and friendship. With every band member contributing original material, The Funky Knuckles is a collective, in the truest sense of the word.

A new soul band from Finland focusing on international co-operation and unlikely connections. Funky Finns is a reincarnation of his previous band Mikko Pettinen & Happy People, and the music and lyrics remain undeniably ‘happy’ in nature. With a disco bassline and uplifting lyrics, the horn section, keys and drums party on Do It Like You Wanna. Referring to their music as ‘Humane Soul’, their goal is to make this world a little bit better through their songs. Their desire is sincerely appreciated, and hip-hop can also learn from their approach. Funky Finns music emphasizes the importance of positivity and self-expression.
