We are happy to announce the worldwide signature of the French group ASTRÏD, whose next album will be released on the very selective Rune Grammofon label, Norway. Astrïd quote Arvo Päart and the Kronos Quartet as much as from Brian Eno’s work in the 70ies, Skip James, the Rachel’s, Clogs, and Philip Glass and Steve Reich amongst their influences.

Some great concerts are in the offing at three stylish Paris venues soon: to start with the jazz club Sunside, Jacky Terrasson will be playing there on January 19 and 20, to be followed by the very original Portuguese, London based singer and composer Carmen Souza on February 9 and 10 at the neighbouring Duc des Lombards.
And at the concert hall L’ Alhambra, the bouncy Portuguese musicians of Oquestrada will perform on January 20, followed by the beautiful top world music artist Fatoumata Diawara on February 2, by the great Cuban Jazz pianist Omar Sosa on February 4, and by Yom, the modern and inventive klezmer clarinet player on February 14.

The Vijay Iyer Trio’s new album due out on ACT in March 2012 is called “Accelerando”. For those who are curious to discover some of the music, French cable channel Mezzo proposes a live concert broadcast from Clermond Ferrand from October, during which Vijay already presents some of the new pieces from his CD.

The music of Charles-Eric Charrier from his album “Oldman” as well as a little video of a recent concert can now be found on the adventurous NME TV site
