These are videos that I like: April’s Best of Bandcamp Jazz

Today’s videos feature music recommended in my most recent Best of Bandcamp Jazz column (go read it) on The Bandcamp Daily.

First up is a live performance by clarinetist Anat Cohen and guitarist Marcello Gonçalves at the 54th Villa Lobos Festival.  They’re performing the song “Coisa Nº 10″ from their new album Outra Coisa.  It’s one of two new albums Cohen has out this month, both released on Anzic Records.

You can listen to the album, and purchase it, on the artist’s Bandcamp page.

Next up is a live in-studio performance of “Supernova” by Bryan & The Aardvarks.  If you’re looking for music that draws every bit of life from a melody, the last two albums released by bassist Bryan Copeland’s Aardvarks ensemble is the thing for you.  Start with his newest, Sounds From The Deep Field, released on the new and very promising Biophilia Records.

You can listen to the album, and purchase it, on the artist’s Bandcamp page.

And let’s wrap up with a video for the song “Starving, Anorexic” by Max Andrzejewski´s HÜTTE and The Homegrown Organic Gospel Choir.  The drummer has been working with a choir for his last two recordings, and his thematic vision of food on his newest shows that he’s getting even better at mixing his quartet’s quirky style with the choir element.  It’s released on WhyPlayJazz.
