New album from Ibrahim Maalouf. Guest appearances include De la Soul and Gergory Porter. "I'm a nomad," says international trumpet superstar Ibrahim Maalouf. "I've never believed in borders or boundaries because at the end of the day, the most exciting thing to me is the way our differences can come together to create new art, new stories, new generations. When we collaborate, we can change the world." That notion lies at the heart of Maalouf's extraordinary new album, Capacity To Love, which finds the Lebanese-born, French-raised instrumental mastermind teaming up with a host of hip-hop and R&B artists (including Flatbush Zombies' Erick The Architect, De La Soul, and D Smoke) for his most bold and innovative collection yet.
The album accompanies Questlove’s directorial debut documentary Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised). Like the documentary, most of the audio recordings that were recorded during the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival have not been heard for over 50 years, keeping this incredible event in America’s history lost - until now. The Summer of Soul (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is a joyous musical celebration and the rediscovery of a nearly erased historical event that celebrated Black culture, pride and unity. For the album, Questlove carefully selected 17 live renditions of jazz, blues, R&B, Latin, and soul classics performed over the course of The Harlem Cultural Festival in 1969 as chronicled by the film.

A century or so ago, Haydn Wood’s name was quite well-known in Britain. The youngest of the four composers here, he was born in Yorkshire in 1882 but raised on the Isle of Man. He enrolled as a scholarship student at Royal College of Music in London at the age of 15 and progressed so swiftly that soon thereafter his abilities as a violinist impressed such visiting luminary virtuosi as Pablo de Sarasate and Joseph Joachim. He also studied composition with Charles Villiers Stanford, as did Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst. Wood composed large-scale orchestral and chamber works, but switched focus to lighter fare following his marriage to the soprano Dorothy Court in 1909. He and Court toured music halls together – she’d already established her reputation singing Gilbert and Sullivan roles with the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company at the Savoy – and Wood composed sentimental ballads for their performances. Songs such as Roses of Picardy became enormously successful and made the Woods a small fortune. Today, Wood is remembered primarily as one of the foremost composers of a genre known as “British Light Music” (alongside Eric Coates, Albert Ketèlbey, Robert Farnon and Ronald Binge), and his orchestral miniatures such as Joyousness, Serenade to Youth and Sketch of a Dandy are as finely wrought as they are breezily tuneful.
