born in a remote log cabin deep in the scottish highlands, eventual reality, the debut album from the james lÕestraunge orchestra melds jazz and electronic music sensibilities with a huge helping of heart and soul. in 2014 seasoned producer and musician ricky reid and his partner retreated from the city to embark upon a new life, in his own words Òaway from the constant, incoherent noise of the worldÓ. as he set up his studio, the clean air and spectacular surroundings began to provoke musical inspiration like never before. then, like a scene from Ôfield of dreamsÕ, a series of talented musicians from his former life visited the cabin for a series of late night jamming and recording sessions, leaving behind them hidden treasures to be discovered and lovingly pieced together by ricky over the following months. with nostalgia so much a part of the albumÕs creation, the james lÕestraunge orchestra canÕt help but appear somewhat spectral, after all they are truly the band that never was.

wenn sich musiker wie sufjan stevens, bryce dessner, nico muhly und james mcalister für ein album zusammentun, ist die welt natürlich nicht groß genug. auf ihrer einspielung -planetarium- vertonen und besingen sie deshalb unser komplettes sonnensystem. die idee zu diesem konzeptalbum schwirrte schon etwas länger in sufjan stevens kopf herum. konkret wurde sie allerdings erst, als die konzerthalle muziekgebouw in eindhoven nico muhly den auftrag zu einer komposition erteilte. sofort dachte er an eine kollaboration mit seinen freunden dessner, stevens und mcalister. doch nachdem man das stück gemeinsam fertiggestellt und aufgeführt hatte, legte man das junge projekt erst einmal auf eis. im anschluss veröffentlichte bryce dessner mit seiner band the national -trouble will find me-, sufjan brachte sein album -carrie & lowell- heraus und nahm anschließend mcallister mit auf tour, und muhly komponierte ein violinen- konzert für die metropolitan opera. schließlich kehrten stevens und mcalister 2016 mit einigen songskizzen zurück ins studio, wo dann richtige stücke entstanden, die mit den mitteln von prog rock, elektronik und indie durch das universum schweben.

josé james is reborn as a powerful voice in contemporary r&b on “love in a time of madness”. even for an artist as creatively restless as james, “love in a time of madness” is something new: an r&b focused foray into moody soul, electronic pop, and trap-addled beats, with the occasional influence of african folk, american gospel and minneapolitan funk. and though james’ voice is no less agile and his ear no less adventurous, this is also his most relatable, daresay sexiest work yet, detailing love’s ups and downs without holding back an ounce of emotion.

low-down and dirty jazz goes right back to the early 1900s in storyville, after the bands had played their hot tunes in the evening for dancing couples, the musicians would head off to the after-hours joints and play a less energetic but more bluesy kind of music, enabling them and their late-night audiences to get through to the early hours of the morning without suffering total exhaustion. and nobody in new orleans laid into the blues so low down and dirty as buddy bolden, whose funky butt became a staple in the repertoire of the citys early jazz bands.
