Emma-Jean Thackray announces a new release “Um Yang” and shares two remixes

Emma-Jean Thackray announces a new release “Um Yang” and shares some new remixes. The new long-dreamed project is straight-to-disc record dedicated to the Taoist philosophy of duality and harmony, of balancing melody and rhythm, groove and free improvisation, the cerebral and physical. The album was recorded and cut direct-to-disk at Artone Studio in Haarlem, Holland, the same way as the previous Night Dreamer releases. The two-track project features Thackray on trumpet, vocals and percussion, alongside Soweto Kinch on sax, Lyle Barton (Golden Mean) on rhodes, Ben Kelly (Paradox Ensemble) on sousaphone, Dwayne Kilvington (Wonky Logic, Steam Down, Bryony Jarman Pinto) on percussion, Crispin Robinson (Galliano) on congas, and Dougal Taylor (Vels Trio) on drums. “Recording in (Artone) was such a dream. It had all the fantasy analogue equipment you daydream about one day being able to use. The desk looked like something Uhura would use. All the instruments were natural, woods and metals, no plastic in sight, and everything was to be hit or blown, all analogue. I really needed everything to be natural and real, because the music is about the universe, about the energy of all things, and what is more real than that”, Thackray recalls. Watch below a video to Emma-Jean Thackray new song “Um”, from her forthcoming album “Um Yang”: She also releases two new remixes. Read the full article

Emma-Jean Thackray has shared the song “Rain Dance” and launched a new label

Emma-Jean Thackray has shared a new song “Rain Dance” and launched a new label Movementt. She is a composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, singer, bandleader and DJ. Emma was called “one of the UK’s most exciting new jazz artists” by Red Bull Music Academy. She just released her first single "Rain Dance / Wisdom" from a new EP, which will be out  6th of March 2020 via her new label Movementt. “Movementt” is also the name of the closing track from that EP. The song is based on her previous same-titled short track (only 42 seconds) from her latest EP “Ley Lanes”. Song evolved during live performances over time into seven minutes long composition blurring the lines between jazz, hip-hop, and psychedelia. Emma-Jean Thackray explained, “I reimagined the first half of the track from another beat (Rain Dance from the Ley Lines EP) and it’s completely live with my band. The track holds moments for each musician to shine and say something, and always goes down well live because it shows how well we improvise together. We always bring lots of energy, brave moments of stillness, and telepathic communication/awareness from being such a strong unit as a band.” “Rain Dance / Wisdom” is out now, you can listen to it below: RAIN DANCE by Emma-Jean Thackray She has also shared a video for a new single, which you can watch below. Album will be out on 6th of March 2020 via Movementt. You can pre-order it here.  Tracklist: Side A 1.Rain Dance / Wisdom Side B OpenOpen (again)Movementt Read the full article
