Highland Dawn Anna Markland

January 2nd, 2023. Aside from being the second of a new year, it was a pretty ordinary night at ETA in Los Angeles, where guitarist Jeff Parker - alongside his ETA IVtet with saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Jay Bellerose - had been holding down a regular Monday gig since 2016. At the time, nobody knew it was the first gig of the last year that ETA would be open for business. Over seven years of holding down that residency, Parker’s ETA ensemble evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form (sometimes stretching out for 45 minutes or more) journeys into innovative, often uncharted territories of groove-oriented, painterly, polyrhythmic, minimalist and mantric improvised music. With that musical growth, the crowds for Parker and his band at ETA grew across the years too. What started as a sparse gathering of weeknight drinkers, friends, family, and Chicago expats (coming to get a shot of nostalgia for the atmospheres Parker used to create at Rodan across the ‘00s and early ‘10s) grew into a Los Angeles nightlife staple with a packed house and a line down the block for every show.

Forward Unto Dawn takes place on a fictional planet, Cirnicus-IV, one of many that humans have colonised outside of the solar system. The protagonist, Thomas Lasky, is aboard a spaceship named Infinity in 2557. Forward Unto Dawn portrays his memory of the events on Circninus-IV in 2525, when he is a cadet at the Corbulo Academy, a training facility…

Signum proudly presents Lapwood’s debut solo organ recording following her critically-acclaimed debut choral recording, All things are quite silent, with The Choirs of Pembroke College, Cambridge. This luxurious programme, including some of Lapwood’s world-premiere arrangements, showcases the softer, more subtle side of an instrument more generally regarded for its bombastic nature.

Swedish-German nu-jazz singer Anna Luca has made a name for herself as singer with Club Des Belugas but goes out on a solo limb here with the intimate and smooth Listen And Wait album. Gently brushed live drums, soft acoustic guitars and chiming mallets feature heavily on songs such as "Beautiful Dawn" while the string-laden title tune suggests a rootsier Bjork mixed with Laura Marling. Fans of her CDB work will still have much to love to - such as the gentle chanson-jazz of "Someone Who Moves My Feet".
