Various Artists: Whiskey Juliet Foxtrot
by Luke Seabright
Much like the highly-regarded We Out Here (Brownswood Recordings, 2018), Whiskey Juliet Foxtrot is all about showcasing some exciting new talent in jazz. However, there is perhaps an extra lesson to be learned from Byrd Out's new compilation album; we would be wrong to assume that the UK's flourishing scene is solely concentrated in London.
Various Artists: The Social Power of Music
by Jakob Baekgaard
It could be argued that music has been around for as long as humans have walked on Earth. When we are born, one of the first things we do is cry and scream, and to calm babies down, lullabies are sung. As we grow up, music becomes the soundtrack for joy and mourning; the rites of ...

Various Artists: The Sea at the End of Her String
by Phil Barnes

Music as ...
