ORIOLE - EVERY NEW DAY

Cat. no: F-IRECD 51
Release Date: 24/04/2012

Oriole's leader/composer Jonny Phillips wrote much of the music on this, the octet's third album, in Cadiz, and there is a gentle warmth and mellow beauty infusing all ten of his pieces here. Winsome and charming – even dreamy – the overall impression may be, but Oriole's music is none the less compelling for being so uncomplicatedly appealing.

£2m backing for new jazz festival
January 30, 2012, by Paul Williams, MusicWeek

The Love Supreme Jazz Festival will be a three-day outdoor camping event taking place in Brighton during the summer of 2013 and promises to feature some of the world’s best jazz musicians.

Jazz FM, Neapolitan Music and Ingenious have unveiled £2m worth of investment to launch the UK’s first outdoor jazz festival. Ingenious investment director Paul Bedford said: “At a time when sales of recorded music are in decline the UK festival market continues to buck the trend and expand, making this sector of the entertainment business an excellent investment opportunity.”

Jazz FM managing director Yoel Kenan said Jazz had been promoting live events around the country for two years so it was delighted to be partnering with Ingenious to launch a three-day festival.“It’s an exciting time for jazz in the UK, with remarkable new talent emerging and a growing new generation of fans embracing the music of the 21st century jazz culture,” he added.
