Melodies MEL12

Back in..Melodies International move from North America into Brazilian territory reissuing a remarkable piece of 1970s MPB (Música popular brasileira) written by a single family - two sisters their and their father, Umberto Silva who was a revered Brazilian artist. The song is a tribute to nature, spirituality and mindfulness. The hommage is made through a form of “cantico” (chant) or “saudação” (salutation), aimed at invoking an Orisha named “Oxossi”. Otherwise known as “Saints”, Orishas are the deities worshiped in the Afro-Brazilian religion of “Candomblé” - the African religion and music influence... 7" + 16 page mini-zine

Sharps And Flats
Jesse Sharps Quintet & P.A.P.A.
Outernational Sounds OTR004

Special deep jazz LP - Issued on vinyl for the first time, Outernational Sounds proudly presents a monumental spirit music document from the Los Angeles underground – Jesse Sharp’s slept-on deep jazz classic. The only album to come out under his name, Sharps And Flats, was recorded in 1985, and wasn’t issued on CD until 2004. But despite this seemingly small recorded footprint, Jesse Sharps is a major figure in the history of jazz music in Los Angeles. ... “He became the Ark leader…he was hardcore. They’d all be quiet and listen to him when he talked.” ....Horace Tapscott, on Jesse Sharps

Celebration
Bheki Mseleku
Matsuli MM112

From the inheritor of John Coltrane’s mouthpiece a re-integration of deep South African jazz roots with the Black Atlantic spiritual jazz continuum.Celebration’s release trumpeted the emerging dawn of South Africa’s epochal changes. Sainted and blessed, Bheki Mseleku appeared as the herald of a new era, a prophet of rebirth and reconnection. This is a work signalling transition and change, and a sign of a South African music that was properly reconnected with global currents – a music that could journey far beyond the stifling combination of exile and oppression in which it had been bound.

Mike Cooper
Sacred Summits SS-005

Repress of this 2015 issue ...Interesting and enjoyable sounds, a soundtrack for a 1929 silent film based on a book written in 1919 , the story of Dr. Matthew Lloyd, an alcoholic doctor who is disgusted by the exploitation by white people of the natives on a Polynesian island. Continues Mike Cooper’s on-going fascination with all things Pacific. Fusing ambient, exotica and field recordings, the sound is of sunset-like dreams spanning the shores in pulsing waves of richly coloured rhythms, tropical sound fields and Polynesian-inspired slide guitar
