The Swedish quartet Goran Kajfeš Tropiques share their new music We Jazz Records on May 3rd. Tell Us, an album consisting of three long pieces composed by the group, is "slow music" to the bone, a deep body of work utilising the language of jazz as its core mode of communication but echoing way beyond. The quartet is expanded with strings, adding wings to the music and helping it lift off the ground in a personal, highly engaging manner.

Afro-Cuban Jazz is a combination of jazz improvising and rhythms from Cuba and Africa; it is also known as Latin jazz. However, the true birth of Afro-Cuban jazz can be traced to trumpeter-arranger Mario Bauza. Bauza introduced trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie to the masterful Cuban percussionist Chano Pozo and also persuaded Latin bandleader Machito to use jazz soloists. Of all the post-swing styles, Latin Jazz has been the most consistently popular and it is easy to see why. The emphasis on percussion and Cuban rhythms make the style quite danceable and accessible.

I'm not surprised that I've never heard of vocalist, guitarist, composer, and producer Michael Schinkel or his band, Eternal Flame. Mostly known in Germany and the larger European continent, the band has not released an album since 2002's King Of The King. Encouraged by fans, Schinkel began working on a new album in 2012. The result is Smoke On The Mountain, which features on vocals, besides Schinkel himself, Mark Boals (ex Yngwie Malmsteen and Ring of Fire) and Goran Edman (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen and John Norum).

Trance, ritual mysticism, psychedelic magic - however you want to describe the effect of Gnawa music, it has a worldwide fascination. Majid Bekkas is one of the most dazzling masters of the modern Gnawa universe, and perhaps the most diverse in other genres. With the Magic Spirit Quartet, he now builds a daring bridge from North Africa to Scandinavia, from archaic to ambient - and captures the spirit of jazz in the 21st century.

Hailing from Sweden, Heartwind is the creation of two musicians and long time friends, guitarist Goran Engvall (ex-Hitworks) and keyboard player Mikael Rosengren (Constancia, Token, Scudiero). After crafting a bevy of songs for a debut album, the duo needed to round out the band with some additional players. They drafted several well-known Swedes, including drummer Peter Svensson (Constancia, Faith) and vocalist German Pascual (Narnia, Essence of Sorrow, et al). Pascual, in turn, got musical mates guitarist Martin Hall (German Pascual band) and bass player Germain Leth (The Poodles, Watchmen) to round out the band. With no less than three labels having interest in the band, Heartwind signed to Germany's AOR Heaven for the release of Higher And Higher.

Between this and Defeat there´s been five albums, including collaborations with Jim O´Rourke (Unreleased?, 2011) and Oren Ambarchi (In The Mouth A Hand, 2012).
