I clicked on "Horizons" due to the consistently astonishing output from Gondwana Records. I was NOT disappointed. Thank you, Jasmine (and Matthew) - I'm playing it loud enough for 3/4's of the street to hear during the current UK heatwave, hopefully it chills the neighbourhood out.
Damn, the name of the project suits so well to the album. Everything is so great, it's like going on a journey. Ty to Jasmine and all the crew behind this album, it's been a long time, I didn't enjoy a WHOLE album that much ❤ (1000 Miles, my personal favourite)
WOW this record is stunning big up all at Gondwana for all the fantastic music you put out and all the amazing talent at the label you guys never seem to disappoint 🙂also big up Jazz FM for putting me up on this album
Primeiramente uau! Meus parabéns... que delícia poder ouvir jovens talentosos fazendo boa música e de verdade! Salve, saúde sucesso sempre... Forte abraço a partir do Brasil!
This album is so beautiful. I kept hearing parts of other songs I know in the opening track "Prologue". Listen to Bonobo's album "Black Sands", the tracks "Prelude", "All in Forms" and "Stay the Same". Jasmine Myra's song is not a cover in any way, it is original, fantastic music, and I'm happy to find similarities between this album and Black Sands, as both are incredible works. I like to think that I hear lots of incredible influences in Myra's album, like Pat Metheney, Dave Holland, Roy Hanes, Stromae, Alfa Mist. The level of each musician is world class. I can't even finish the album because I keep playing the first 3 songs over and over again, haha. About to play the last 5 songs over and over as well.
Such a beautiful airy album! There is so much freedom and expression in the arrangement. Totally love it! This is prefect album to be playing in your car on a nice easy drive on a hot Summer day! THANK YOU!
mais um disco da Gondwana para os favoritos!!! Onde moro, na cidade de Rio das Ostras - Rio de Janeiro/Brasil, tem O "Festival de Jazz e Blues Rio das Ostras" todos os anos. Entrem em contato com os organizadores e tragam estes artistas maravilhosos para cá!!
Le label est distribué en France par Bigwax mais leurs disques restent extrêmement difficiles à se procurer en boutique; même chez les "disquaires" "jazz". Pour ma part j'achète directement sur leur site pour éviter les galères.
Cool, sexy, intellectual, wears its classical allegiances on its sleeve, original without trying too hard. Like the Brian Blade Fellowship and ECM records had a baby. Gondawana Records is already a superb curator of the New Interesting but this is exemplary even for Gondwana.
Hard to find the words to describe how prodigiously great this album is. Flawless compositions and thoroughly engrossing performance. Props to the sound engineers too - the mixing and clarity is top notch.
