The Kevin Brady Electric Quartet - Plan B (October 8, 2021 Ubuntu Music)

Ubuntu Music is delighted to announce the release of The Kevin Brady Electric Quartets upcoming worldwide album release entitled PLAN B on the 8th of October.

The Kevin Brady Electric Quartet has a clear aim of creating and producing new contemporary jazz and the impact of this has been immediate. Their performances have been critically acclaimed for their dynamism and musicality. Touring regularly, they have consolidated their worldwide reputation as a compelling live act. As quoted by The Telegraph UK, “This group display an enviable poise and togetherness”, winning the appreciation of discerning jazz audiences in the USA, Europe, UK, China. Their music embraces imaginative creativity and contributes to the evolution of exciting and engaging improvised music.

Plan B is the latest studio album by acclaimed drummer and composer, Kevin Brady. It features the stellar musical talents of U.S. saxophonist Seamus Blake, Bill Carrothers on Fender Rhodes, and bassist Dave Redmond. Brady’s ambition was to record an album that consisted of new, original compositions that explore improvisation in an electric quartet format. While tipping their collective hat to the music of the 1970s Miles Davis Group, along with the groove and funk based music of Herbie Hancock, many of the musical themes deal with the impact of what is happening in the world as we know it now. The music is hypnotically insistent, all with a lasting story of experience and optimism.

‘Last Swing In Ireland’

Final Studio Album gets release

‘Last Swing In Ireland’, a previously unreleased studio album from the late great American Jazz Guitarist Larry Coryell, is issued on CD through Angel Air [Cat. No SJPCD641] on the 30th of May Worldwide, 2021.

Larry’s ‘Last Swing In Ireland’ was captured on his final visit to the Emerald Isle in May 2016. He made a lasting impression both at Dublin’s Hellfire Studios where this album was laid down, and also at an incendiary live show at The Sugar Club [ the recording of which will be released later this year by Angel Air]. Larry teamed up with his favourite Irish rhythm section, Kevin Brady and Dave Redmond, and the results speak for themselves: they rock they swing and everything in between. ‘Last Swing In Ireland’ was Engineered/Mastered by Ivan Jackman. Larry Coryell, was a guitar virtuoso. Performer and composer of Jazz and Jazz- Rock classics, but also the Master of Guitar Improvisation. He was known in the Jazz world as the “Godfather of Fusion”. Larry’s highly acclaimed improvised guitar stylings and compositions positioned him as one of the first innovators of the jazz-rock fusion movement in the late 1960s.

A true legend in the History of Jazz Music, Larry knew and played with many of the Jazz and Rock greats of the 20th and 21st Centuries such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Chet Atkins, Chico Hamilton, Gary Burton, Chick Corea and Miles Davis. His incredible career spanned over 50 years of wonderful music, both on the road and in the studio. You’ll never forget Larry’s sound or his personality, and ‘Last Swing In Ireland’ captures both.
