Gilles Peterson Presents Norma Winstone Live at Maida Vale is a live album released as part of an exciting collaboration between BBE Music and legendary UK DJ and radio broadcaster Gilles Peterson.

Pre-empting the future release of BBC Sessions Vol. 2 – Maida Vale: The End of an Era on BBE Music, this Norma Winstone concert is an absolute must-have for any jazz fan.

Released as a vinyl LP, the recording captures vocalist and composer Norma Winstone performing with a group of contemporary and emerging musicians, including her sons Leo Taylor on drums and Alex Taylor on vocals, alongside world-renowned tuba player Oren Marshall, pianist and composer Elliot Galvin (Shabaka Hutchings, Emma-Jean Thackray), and saxophonist Mark Lockheart (Robert Wyatt, Radiohead).

As BBE Music celebrates 30 years as one of the UK’s—and the world’s—most innovative and influential Black music record labels, this collaboration with Gilles Peterson is a fitting partnership to curate, release, and highlight music from his groundbreaking BBC Sessions, recorded at the globally renowned Maida Vale Studios.

To feature a concert by a legend such as Norma Winstone—who has worked with everyone from Joe Harriott to Michael Garrick to Ian Carr’s Nucleus across a career spanning more than 50 years—is clearly a deeply personal moment for Gilles, who described the Maida Vale performance as “possibly the biggest highlight of all my years at the BBC.”

Released on BBE Music as a five-track vinyl LP, Gilles Peterson Presents Norma Winstone Live at Maida Vale comes in a gatefold sleeve featuring photographs from the session and sleeve notes by acclaimed music and culture writer Emma Warren.

Park Pick Up Player (Mark de Clive-Lowe Remix) - Bobbito Garcia

Cosmosis Mark de Clive Lowe Remix Yameen feat

$Brian Jackson Its Your World feat Raheem DeVaughn & J. Ivy Its Your World the albums debut single, sees the prodigiously talented Raheem DeVaughn take the helm, who righteously commits to the cause on Jacksons self-penned, positive-affirming message funk/jazz dancer, given a fresh new arrangement here. Devaughn is in sublime Marvinesque form here, his silk as smooth vocal flowing effortlessly over the songs stellar arrangement. Gene Perezs warm and fluid electric bass admirably drives the rhythm section, with some exquisite fender rhodes, acoustic piano and various synthesisers giving texture and sonic depth, and an impressive sax contribution from Ivan Renta; all complemented by Burgesss inspired string arrangement that takes the song to a whole other worldly dimension. Enter Grammy Award winning wordsmith J. Ivey who exhorts us all to Wake up!, earnestly letting us know, When we close our eyes, we have to remember to be righteous and refined, we have to re-wire the mind, tap into the source, re-write the time line, and know the world is yours, the world is mine.....! Classically trained jazz pianist virtuoso, flautist, songwriter, arranger/producer, musical director and trail blazing creative visionary. Brian Jacksons resume more than speaks for itself; an impressive, musically fruitful trajectory in a career that has spanned well beyond 5 decades. Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York City born and raised, a child prodigy with a talent nurtured and molded firmly within Black Americas rich jazz tradition (inspired by such blues, swing, bebop and post-bop greats as Clifford Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Williams, John Coltrane); one that would be fine honed in later years by the supernatural-like funk, soul and rock sounds of music contemporaries Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, and Curtis Mayfield. As one half of Gil-Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson, he would be the music alchemist to his lyrically gifted and charismatic partners prescient, blues-laden observational musings, forged deep in the crucible of the post WWII Black Arts Movement responsible for such literary and performative talents as Langston Hughes, Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, Oscar Brown Jr, Nikki Giovanni, and The Last Poets. Theirs would be a collaborative partnership like no other: a reality truth to power manifesto on politics, culture and everyday life, delivered through song via an equally unapologetic blues, jazz and funk rhythm template. Two modern day griots, embedded firmly in that time-honoured African tradition of disseminating news and sharing information. Now More Than Ever is Brian Jacksons latest offering for BBE Music. It takes up the legacy baton some two years on from where This Is Brian Jackson (his impressive debut for the label) left off. Where This Is comprised unreleased demo material from the duos mid 70s heyday with newer songs that wisely referenced Jacksons funk and jazz heritage, this latest all-new offering pays direct homage to the very songs of that famed partnership. The albums title (taking its cue from the opening chant on Peace Go With You Brother”), is an appreciative nod to the enduring relevance of Jackson and Scott-Herons inspirational gift to the world; songs that are now over 5 decades old, though which speak more than ever before to those major topical issues that afflict our markedly fractured, conflict-ridden and polarised present day world. ...

Black Thought The Revolution Will Not Be Televised allows Black Thought from The Roots to enter into the fray, pulling no punches in a powerful re-configuring of Scott-Herons satirical masterpiece on the social engineering of popular consent. The Roots charismatic lead man brings the song right up to date, with Drones, QR codes, Ebay, Amazon, and Fox News, all getting their unceremonious calling out! The revolution is the solution, the Philly-based wordsmith stridently proclaims, It is both the question and the answer in these uncertain times.....because like evolution, the revolution has long been in effect! This latest offering reprises the originals signature flute accompaniment, both Jackson and Renta sharing flautist duties who seamlessly flow through the songs minimalist bass and drum rhythm backdrop.
