This film is unbelievably beautiful!! Tell us what you think? Verneri Pohjola & Mika Kallio: Where Do You Feel At Home Animal Image / Edition Records 2018 From The Documentary Film Animal Image (Mouka Filmi 2018) Music Video by Perttu Saksa Animal Image is a soundtrack album to a poetic documentary about the infinite relationship between man and animal. Edited to an improvised score by Finnish trumpet Verneri Pohjola and percussionist Mika Kallio, the film illustrates the emotional bond between man and animal beyond the boundaries of written language or fictional storylines. The movie depicts nature-photographer and writer Heikki Willamo's journey to the landscape of the post ice-age northern wilderness to explore man's ancient relationship to his prey and Willamo's personal encounters with the inhabitants of the northern woods. Man, bear, sky and fire: the Finnish forest is a place like nowhere else, a place of dreams and the imagination, an ancient place where its denizens live in the shadows.

Leeds based Roller Trio return in June 2018 with a new album, a new sound, a new line-up and a new home at Edition Records. READ MORE // https://editionrecords.com/artists/rollertrio/ Roller:Trio are James Mainwaring, saxophone & electronics, Chris Sharkey, guitar/bass & electronics and Luke Reddin-Williams, drums. Leeds based Roller:Trio return in June 2018 with a new album, a new sound, a new line-up and a new home at Edition Records. On their previous two albums Roller:Trio have stunned audiences and won great critical praise for their mix of high-octane technique and deceptively catchy tunes. Chosen for a BBC Introducing showcase at Band on the Wall in 2011 by tastemakers Gilles Peterson, Mike Chadwick and Kevin LeGendre, they subsequently won the Peter Whittingham Jazz Award and their eponymous debut album was nominated for the 2012 Mercury Prize. That same year they were also nominated for the MOBO Best Jazz Act and Jazz FM Best Newcomer awards. With their new album Roller:Trio have moved up a gear. The addition of guitarist Chris Sharkey (TrioVD, Acoustic Ladyland) has enabled the band to explore greater use of electronics, blending powerful grooves with processed beats for a much more edgy and raw sound. With their new base at Edition Records Roller:Trio now have the opportunity to grow a significant international following, confirming them as one of the hippest and most forward-thinking small ensembles in European jazz now! As Saxophonist James Mainwaring explains: “It’s an exciting time for Roller:Trio. We’ve reformed with guitarist Chris Sharkey who also brings his bass and electronics wizardry to the mix. We’re releasing a new album on Edition Records and I’m looking forward to joining the outstanding Edition family who I’ve followed since the label started. I’ve had the pleasure of playing with some of the label’s fine roster in the past, and I think it will be a great next step for Roller’s new driving electronic sound.” Roller Trio’s new album will be released in June 2018.

Next up in our wave of new signings: ENEMY “Rip-roaring groove, mind-boggling polyrhythmic drumming, snapping physicality and sweeping piano runs from brittle street grooves”. The Guardian 2015 **** ENEMY is the vital new piano trio featuring bassist Frans Petter Eldh, pianist Kit Downes and drummer James Maddren. Described as ‘fiercely intense’ and ‘beautifully intricate’, ENEMY spotlights three brilliant and creative musical minds committed to the exploration of new worlds of performance and music: total music, with each musician contributing equally in an authentic aesthetic display. Each member of ENEMY has achieved personal recognition in the jazz and wider music world (including a Mercury Music Award Nomination, ECHO Jazz nomination, multiple Downbeat Critics Poll nominations and a BBC Jazz Award). “We want this music to be fierce, vital and to have and give energy – and to do so whilst never sacrificing its intricacy and its integrity.” ENEMY

Next up in our week of new signings are the German master musicians and adventurous spirits of the Pablo Held Trio. Their 10th album Investigations, crafted with alluring elegance, lyricism and sophistication will be released in April 2018. Investigations is the new album from 30 year old German pianist Pablo Held and his long standing trio featuring bassist, Robert Landfermann and drummer, Jonas Burgwinkel. With a new home on the British imprint Edition Records, the release of Investigations marks a change in the trajectory of the trio’s journey that has garnered the attention and acclaim of audiences and critics throughout Europe and beyond. Crafted with alluring elegance, lyricism and sophistication, Investigations is an album that perfectly blends tradition with modernity, familiarity with exploration and poised nuance with passion and energy. Pablo Held is an artist of talent, maturity and sensibility, aware of tradition yet continually looking forward in search of something new. The Pablo Held Trio is exceptional in both its conception and execution of blurring the boundaries of composition and improvisation, their abstract, empathic musical conversations coalescing into stories that take tender, serene, and fiery turns. All three of them are master musicians, adventurous spirits and investigators of new music discovery. After 12 years of touring, 9 highly acclaimed records and remarkable collaborations with jazz greats like John Scofield or Chris Potter, Investigations is the next step in the trio’s development.
