Mike Westbrook's 9-movement album Metropolis shows the best of the London jazz scene with it's big-band jazz sounds and funk-rock rhythms. The wonderful arrangements and chord progressions together creating Westbrook's best recordings. It is an absolute classic and a must for any serious jazz listener. Minco Eggersman and Theodoor Borger started collaborating years ago. They invited Norwegian trumpet player Mathias Eick for their first album Unifony. Together, they wander off the beaten track and rediscover purity by experimenting.

Three years after her debut Immortal (1996), Beth Hart released Screamin' For My Supper to great critical acclaim. With her raw and fragile voice she sings some fantastic up-tempo songs and ballads. The re-issue of Screamin' For My Supper is now available as a limited edition of 1.500 Individually numbered copies on coloured (gold & solid red) vinyl. Our last release this week is the music the American jazz, soul and blues artist Donny Hathaway recorded to the movie Come Back, Charleston Blue, supervised by Quincy Jones. Most impressive is the album as a whole, while he is switching between ragtime, Latin American music and jazz. A must have for every '70s jazz and funk enthusiast.
