HIATUS KAIYOTE - TAWK TOMAHAWK
The music of Hiatus Kaiyote strikes the perfect note merging poetry and polyrhythms.
Hiatus Kaiyote has a style that can't be easily pinpointed. Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Tupac Shakur, Flying Lotus, traditional flamenco and music from Mali and Colombia have influenced the group. We could call it 'Future Soul'.
Stereogum singled out Hiatus Kaiyote as a "Band to Watch." Gilles Peterson named them the Breakthrough Artist of 2013. Even Prince has tweeted about the band, so you better not sleep on this one.
EARTH, WIND AND FIRE - NOW, THEN AND FOREVER

Working together with such greats as Paul McCartney, Byrds singer Roger McGuinn and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Costello delivers an album that is chok full of variety. Soul, Broadway, Rockabilly, the list of styles goes on and combined result in a great Pop album.
The album cover says "The Beloved Entertainer" - we couldn't agree more with the nickname.

JAN AKKERMAN AND KAZ LUX - ELI
Eli is a celebration of everything Folk, progressive Blues and Funk, weaved together with the virtuoso string play of globally acclaimed Focus guitarist Akkerman and Kaz Lux of the equally legendary Prog band Brainbox.
It's exactly 40 years ago since he was voted best guitar player in the world by Melody Maker, which makes this the perfect time to reissue this wonderful album, which was awarded the Dutch Edison Award for Best Album in 1976.
LOS LOBOS - HOW WILL THE WOLF SURVIVE?

KEITH JARRETT TRIO - SOMEWHERE BEFORE
Somewhere Before is a live album by pianist Keith Jarrett recorded on August 30 & 31, 1968 at Shelly's Manne-Hole in Hollywood, California. It features Charlie Haden on double bass and Paul Motian on drums.
As an example of early, unfocused Jarrett, this is simply fascinating material.
