Olaf Stapleton

WE ARE THE PLAGUE is the debut album from Suzie Stapleton. It is a rallying cry, a howl into the abyss, the defiant call of a generation sold down the river and acutely aware of its own imminent demise - a bold soundtrack to the apocalypse.

On the cusp of the Great Depression, Denver mayor Benjamin Stapleton pushed for the development of the first city-operated airport. Denver Municipal Airport opened in 1929 with three hub airlines. While Stapleton would be honored to later have the airport named after him, by the mid-1980s, the name Stapleton had become synonymous with congestion, flight delays, and frequent closures when the snow moved in.

Chris Stapleton’s From A Room: Volume 2 will be released December 1 on Mercury Records Nashville and is now available to pre-order digitally and with exclusive limited-edition bundles.

This recording is without doubt Dave Stapleton's finest to date. Many artists have big ambitions - rarely are they fulfilled with such artistry and beauty as this project, Flight. With this recording Stapleton mixes the classic Jazz Quartet with the Brodowski String Quartet - but this recording is so much more than just jazz with strings - it is a work that combines its different elements both seamlessly and gracefully. Everything is in balance, in harmony. Brilliant new Saxophonist Marius Neset reveals his astonishing range whilst the Brodowski String Quartet exude quality and a deftness of touch that is quite sublime. The sheer range of music here is breathtaking - Stapleton's emergence as a major figure in European jazz is complete.
