You Already Know, the New Deal/Impulse! debut from the acclaimed drummer Ted Poor—“a trustworthy engine in countless modern-jazz settings,” per the New York Times—isn’t your typical jazz drummer’s recording, almost defiantly so. But if you’re at all familiar with the Seattle-based Poor’s explorative career—or the wide-ranging work of his principal collaborators here, the deeply influential guitarist-producer Blake Mills and the saxophonist Andrew D’Angelo—this should come as no surprise.

The Poor Clare Sisters of Arundel are answering the prayers of eagerly waiting fans, as they return with a second album My Peace I Give You, out on May 24th. They captured the hearts of millions of listeners in 2020 with their uplifting debut album 'Light for the World', which soared to No.5 in the UK Official Album Chart, infusing Latin hymns and medieval texts with a unique 21st Century production. The sisters are now gearing up to bring music from the 13th Century back to the mainstream once again. Recorded at the convent chapel in Arundel, West Sussex and mixed at Abbey Road Studios, this new album is a message of peace for a fractured world and the importance of caring for the planet.
