What a pointless fuss. At this point I am, of course, not talking about experiences in the glamorous towns of neighboring Switzerland, but about private circumstances that really ought to ensure that these lines make the rounds once again at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well then, we\u2019re in it now \u2013 just a few minutes left on the clock until editorial deadline. Reason enough to give ourselves a proper push from DJ HARRISON\u2019s \u201cElectric Soul\u201d department. His new album is filled to the brim with jazz and funk and soul, hip-hop and all sorts of other sound worlds that somehow and at some point blend in as well. Highly focused, creative, and exciting. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Yazmin Lacey, Yaya Bey, Grebes, Kiefer, and other friends add their highly aromatic mustard to the mix. Guaranteed spiciness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And after listening again and confirming that, with DJ HARRISON, absolutely anything really is possible, we\u2019ll also let the esteemed CLEO SOL make a statement. As usual, with the by-now hardly surprising surprise effect of consistent non-announcement, we now get a new song from Cleo as well, following last week\u2019s new SAULT album. \u201cNothing Is Impossible With You\u201d calmly draws its lines, leaving plenty of space and freedom for piano and voice over a metronomic click beat and a grumbling bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet another solitaire: DURAND JONES and his INDICATIONS once again frame Aaron Frazer\u2019s falsetto voice with refined retro soul in the most beautiful colors. \u201cLet\u2019s Take Our Time\u201d for the better moments in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With considerably more steam behind it, KURT ELLING makes himself heard again. With the concentrated power of the WDR BIG BAND (thanks be to the broadcasting fees!) at his back, Kurt pays his last respects to the recently deceased arranger Jim McNeely, sending the band sledding along with us. Originally John Scofield\u2019s \u201cJeep on 35,\u201d it has now become \u201cMy Very Own Ride\u201d thanks to lyrics by Nina Clark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And off we go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puuh! Was f\u00fcr eine sinnlose Aufregung. Ich spreche an dieser Stelle selbstverst\u00e4ndlich nicht \u00fcber Erlebnisse in mond\u00e4nen Gemeinden der benachbarten Schweiz, sondern von privaten Umst\u00e4nden, die eigentlich daf\u00fcr Sorge tragen sollten, dass diese Zeilen ein weiteres Mal zur passenden Zeit ihre Runden drehen. Nun gut, wir sind dabei, ein paar Minuten bis zum Redaktionsschlu\u00df sind noch auf der Uhr verblieben &#8211; Gund genug, um uns mittels eines ordentlichen Schubs aus der &#8222;Electric Soul&#8220; Abteilung des<strong> DJ HARRISON<\/strong>. Dessen neues Albums ist bis an den Rand gef\u00fcllt mit Jazz und Funk und Soul HipHop und sonstigen Klangwelten, die sich irgendwie und irgendwann daruntermischen. Hochgradig konzentriert, kreativ und spannend. Miguel Atwood-Atwood-Ferguson, Yazmin Lacey, Yaya Bey, Grebes, Kiefer und weitere Freunde geben ihren hocharomatischen Senf dazu. Sch\u00e4rfegrad garantiert. &#8211; Und nachdem wir jetzt noch einmal nachh\u00f6ren konnten, dass beim DJ HARRISON tats\u00e4chlich alles m\u00f6glich ist, lassen wir die verehrte <strong>CLEO SO<\/strong>L dazu noch ein Statement abgeben. Wie gewohnt mit dem kaum mehr \u00fcberraschenden \u00dcberraschungseffekt der konsequenten Nicht-Ank\u00fcndigung, gibt&#8217;s nun nach dem neuen SAULT Album der Vorwoche auch noch einen neuen Song von deren Cleo. &#8222;Nothing Is Impossible With You&#8220; zieht in best\u00e4ndiger Ruhe seine Linien, die auf metrischem Klick-Beat und brummelndem Bass gen\u00fcgend Raum und Freiheit f\u00fcr Piano und Stimme lassen.  &#8211; Und noch ein Solit\u00e4r.<strong> DURAND JONES <\/strong>und seine <strong>INDICATIONS <\/strong>umrahmen ein  weiteres mal die die Falsett-Stimme ihre Aaron Frazer mit gediegenem Retro-Soul in den sch\u00f6nsten T\u00f6nen. &#8222;Let&#8217;s Take Our Time&#8220; f\u00fcr die besseren Momente im Leben. &#8211; Mit wesentlich mehr Dampf l\u00e4\u00dft der <strong>KURT ELLING<\/strong> wieder von sich h\u00f6ren. Mit der geballten Kraft der <strong>WDR BIG BAND<\/strong> (den Rundfunkgeb\u00fchren sei&#8217;s gedankt!) im R\u00fccken gibt der Kurt dem k\u00fcrzlich verstorbenen Arrangeur Jim McNeely die letzte Ehre, und l\u00e4sst so die Band mit uns gemeinsam Schlittenfahren. Dieser war urspr\u00fcnglich John Scofields &#8222;Jeep On 35&#8220;, und wurde nun durch den Text von Nina Clark zu &#8222;My Very Own Ride&#8220;. Und ab geht&#8217;s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Nothing Is Impossible With You\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/1jP8sjGxTpkQz13WzS1fpw?si=bd6ac11ff17442f2&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: ElectroSoul\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0KwGULFHLHMz9qg84ahZZe?si=R3hJ3HRJROuJYOU87JiWCA&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Let&amp;apos;s Take Our Time\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2C5G7y3CVchaQZDmCluKpG?si=eb448d5f5680402b&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: My Very Own Ride\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/59ZAfJo35Lunuv56upvhCZ?si=af543efa5d184a70&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phew!
