New Release Round-Up - 7th March 2025
by Maddy Allison
Another week, another set of new releases! The Newcastle band Knats make their debut of the same name where the modern sounds of garage music meet the melodic and soulful sound of 70s jazz, and Alison Rayner returns with her live-recorded quintet album SEMA4. Charles Pasi makes his Blue Note return in Adamas and the Macondo Trio fuse African rhythms and jazz in Morayò. Finally, Folk Devils is now available for streaming and CD release by the saxophone-duo AuB, full of intricate melodies and technical improvisation.
On their much-anticipated debut album, Knats showcase their skill and ability to blend soulful grooves alongside a drum ‘n’ bass sound. Hailing from Newcastle, the best-friend duo Stan Woodward on bass and King David Ike Elechi on drums are joined by a series of talented musicians in their “Geordie-jazz” jazz debut.
