Capping two extraordinary decades as a recording and performing artist, Kyle Eastwood’s stylistically eclectic new album ‘In Transit’ reflects the whirlwind reality of the breakneck schedule that Kyle and his longtime ensemble keep as they perform three quarters of the year in Europe - with a yearly jaunt to Asian countries and occasional swings to the US. The Los Angeles bred, Paris based bassist and composer estimates that about half of the tracks were “road tested,” with a few rendered completely fresh in the studio. “That’s part of the concept, all the moving around and spending time on the road and working through our favorite material.” Just as on his previous two critically acclaimed collections, ‘The View From Here’ and ‘Time Pieces’, Kyle plays with a powerfully swinging yet beautifully soulful and sensual quintet of young English musicians.

Recorded live in May 2015 at Union Chapel in London, this powerful album showcases the very best of Grammy-winning keyboardist and Snarky Puppy founding member Bill Laurance's solo catalogue. Laurence is accompanied by his Snarky Puppy bandmates Michael League on electric and upright bass and drummer Robert Sput Searight, with contributions from percussionist Felix Higgenbottom, a full string section and a French horn player. This is a truly great contemporary jazz piano concert with nods to modal jazz icon Bill Evans, post-Coltrane giants McCoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock and the fusion of Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea.

This brand-new double album in celebration of the much-anticipated coronation of King Charles III and the Queen Consort, Camilla. ‘Crown and Glory’ houses over two and a half hours of British orchestral, instrumental, and choral music from across four centuries.

Melodies reflecting the close tie between the monarchy and the armed services also feature, as do select songs and tunes beloved by each country of the Union.

Composers: Ralph Vaughan Williams, Georg Friedrich Händel, Matthew Locke, Sir Edward Elgar, Sir William Walton.
