Rudi Chief Adjuah is certainly one of the great trumpet players and musicians of our time. And keen to experiment - Miles would have been delighted. In November 2024, I heard him and his very young, very talented musicians give a fantastic concert at the Zentralwäscherei Zurich.

mandr8ke Full of power and spirit! Favorite track: The Last Chieftain [for Big Chiefs Donald Harrison Sr. & Jr.].

Ian Noetzel Amazing. I would go see this band everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. Favorite track: West of the West.

about

*Bandcamp Exclusive* 2 Bonus tracks will be included when you purchase the full album, only on Bandcamp.

From March 10th to March 15th, as the world was becoming aware of the full implications of a global pandemic, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah and his dedicated band were doing what they do - human conversation in the form of music - at the famed Blue Note in New York. They pressed on, understanding that there was risk but determined to bring positive energy to the people. Little did they (or we) know that this would be the last show for some time. Capturing this moment was already precious, and now it is even more so - humans in direct proximity walking the delicate line between listening and being heard, expressing themselves without casting a shadow on others. While this will not be the last show, for now it is a wonderful reminder of the vibrant energy we all can share.

In These Times
by Makaya McCraven

Unlike any other. Its feel is both reflective and down to earth, and the compositions are easily differentiated despite their relative shortness. Not only a pleasure to listen to, this album is rhythmically complex, but not in a maddening, hard to process way. Also, very clever album title. ianjworsomething

Smooth and virtuosic, uplifting jazz that soars and glitters when it's not grooving along in some heavy dub. Tom Colquhoun
