NAUSYQA
5 young, international mega talents together in one quintet: NAUSYQA. These musical storytellers from Portugal, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands provide a fresh buzz in the Dutch jazz scene. With their second album PUNQ, NAUSYQA takes you on a journey, because that is what you can safely call the compositions: musical journeys in which you can dream away. With a sometimes overwhelming intensity in a simultaneously logical and coherent whole.
The Records jury about NAUSYQA : 'We were very impressed by this band. The group has a fantastic band sound with a lot of energy and dynamic extremes. We are looking forward to a full album where they will hopefully be able to create a fantastic arc of tension in the same way.'
Micheal Murray's Colourfield
Rounded Nature is the debut album by Micheal Murray's Colourfield, a talented group of musicians and friends led by Irish saxophonist Michael Murray. Murray was inspired for this album by the cyclical nature of life and nature. In nature, everything is right; the circle is always round. This deep connection with nature resonates in the organic rhythms and energies of the band members. From singable melodies and introspections to harmonic sounds that alternate between shadow and light – it all flows together effortlessly.
The Records jury about Micheal Murray's Colourfield : 'We found the band very coherent and mature. With beautiful compositions and form and a wonderful saxophone sound. We want to express our special appreciation for the concentration on stage and the high level of playing!'
