Opening its doors for the first time in 2011, the original members of the The Liquor Store Émile Farley (bass), Alex Francoeur (saxophone), Rémi Cormier (trumpet) and Félix Le Blanc (keyboards) presented a fresh musical tasting by young and talented jazz fanatics. The loyal fan base cheered the group’s release of its first EP Hooked in 2013, showcasing a flavorful blend of funk and R&B. Since adding drummer Jean-Daniel Thibeault-Desbiens and guitarist Félix Blackburn in 2014, The Liquor Store has performed all across Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick while promoting its groovy energy, especially through major events like the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 2016 and 2017. After winning the popular TVA music competition Faites comme chez vous (2015), The Liquor Store started collaborating with Connor Seidel, who produced their second EP Room For Everyone in 2016. This last production witnessed of a broadened musical palette, thanks to the guest contributions of rappers and songwriters such as David Hodges, Philippe Koffi, Max Miller, Fabrice Koffi and Judith Little D. Individually, members of The Liquor Store have mixed and paired well with Montreal’s hip-hop and world music scenes, joining Nomadic Massive, Busty & The Bass, Clay and Friends or Vox Sambou, to name only a few.

Bror Gunnar Jansson – Eat Me (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Rock, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“Sweet classic rock sounds with funky grooves. This track has attitude and kicks the door wide open. ”

-Nagamag.com

The song is about a person who takes the expression “you are what you eat” way too seriously. In order not to become someone else the person eats oneself and also offers others to take part of the smörgåsbord. Swedish listeners can probably hear the musical reference to one of Jojje Wadenius most famous children’s songs.

Mauricio Morales, Roni Eytan, Al Joseph – Garden of Hope (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Jazz, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , , , |

“A walk among the rhythmic meadows of complex Jazz inspired riffs. They flow seamlessly together like the rivers of time. ”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared with Nagamag a very instersting story behind song inspiration:

"As we grow we reach moments in our life in which we make mistakes. In which we challenge the principles that work as the foundation of who we are and that eventually continue to build our character. I think there are times in everybody’s life in which we question our own nature. In this particular case I want to convey a specific emotion that I have felt.

It starts with me and a friend spending some time at his house. We drink and end up going out. We end up drinking more and spending money.

At the moment I was unaware or didn't care of the consequences, I just continued behaving as if I owned a world that I didn’t earn myself. But it really did hit me the moment I opened my eyes the next day. For starters, I used my fathers money. He found out of course.

At this moment I felt absolutely lost. First of all I was embarrassed and assumed my dads perception of me had changed completely. I was uncomfortable around my family because of it. I also felt like I had lost whatever innocence I had left in me and that I was turning into someone without proper direction. I felt like the child that wished for the moon was gone and had turned into something else. Something I didn’t like.

A few weeks later, I was sitting down in my pijamas, playing a Nintendo game called Pikmin. After playing it for a couple of hours I realized that for a very short period of time, I didn't think about it at all. In fact I didn't think about anything at all. I was enjoying the game, and it was the most childlike experience I have had in a while. It made me happy. And it was not the video game itself, but the idea that I was still me, and that I am in control of the decisions I make from now on. It was not a matter of neglecting whatever I had done, it was a matter of learning from it. Trying to become the best possible version of myself and be conscious of my ideas and principles and live by them.

I thought it would be a good way to end the record because I believe we are born children, and that in a lot of cases we live our lives pursuing feeling like children again. NOT being children, but feeling like children.

The level of the video game I was playing then was named "Garden of Hope". "

“Norwegian composer, guitarist Jon Thorstensen has gathered around him a band of superb musicians to deliver this modern day Jazz / Funk classic.

Anton Commissaris – That Look About You (Tropicale) (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Jazz, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“Take a trip back to the 1940’s with Anton Commissaris & ‘That Look About You (Tropicale)’ a rhythmic reminder of the jazz infused, latin style cha cha cha music so popular during that era. Think Hollywood, Frank Sinatra, Veronica Lake, dancing to Bossa Nova music in a bar in Havana. ”

-Nagamag.com

The song is a rhythmic jazz infused Latin cha cha cha. It is based on a glamorous Hollywood 1940s starlet who could dance like no other and who, though appearing otherwise caucasian, had a Latin father. She intoxicated men with her looks, flamboyant dancing style, and independent attitude.

Anton Commissaris is a music composer, pianist, and vocalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Anton loves all music but has a special place in his heart for Jazz, which he acquired from an early age. Anton’s inspiration comes from some of Jazz music’s greatest composers: Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. But it was the amazing music of Lennon and McCartney that first inspired Anton to try his hand at music composition. Among Anton's favorite male vocalists are Frank Sinatra, Nat King Kole, and Ray Charles. His favorite female vocalists are Sarah Vaughan, Etta James, and Amy Winehouse. In Anton's debut album/EP "On A Bright Note" he's sought to explore some different genres/styles of Jazz with a Latin number, a swing tune, a ballad, and a blues piece.
