Preview “Faroe,” the upcoming new release from Mikkel Ploug & Mark Turner
Adjust your budgets accordingly, because Mikkel Ploug and Mark Turner have recorded an absolutely gorgeous album. Faroe hits the shelves on August 17th, 2018 courtesy of Sunnyside Records. The guitarist and saxophonist have a relationship that goes back ten years, both from touring and a couple collaborations on the Fresh Sound label. That it leads up to this beautiful new album shows none of that time was wasted.
Here’s two tracks from that album:
At some point, the Sunnyside Records Bandcamp page will allow you to pre-order the album. Same with Amazon.

Oh hell yes there’s a new Get the Blessing recording on the way
One of my favorite groups, and (in my opinion) one of the most exciting bands on the scene, is coming out with a new album. This autumn, Get the Blessing is releasing Bristopia. The quartet of saxophonist Jake McMurchie, trumpeter Pete Judge, drummer Clive Deamer and bassist Jim Barr create a symbiotic relationship between hyperactive grooves and dreamy melodies, and the way in which each of those entities feed into one another creates a seriously dynamic environment for fun music to thrive. The two advance tracks give every indication that this is more of the good stuff.
September 21st, 2018 is the official release date, but you can pre-order the album on Bandcamp and Amazon. There’s also more information at the Kartel Music Group site.
