On international jazz day can I recommend this beautiful new record to you?

Deeply special debut from Mark Millington AlbertsFavourites.lnk.to/JyPKYLFA

This live session by Mörk is perfect for a sunny Saturday morning. Honestly one of the most amazing songs I’ve had the pleasure of releasing on @albertsfavourites.bsky.social

Go and listen to Only Mine now. Unique live version is on their YouTube and you need to hear the album Still Dreamin’

I really appreciate all the messages of love and support for this new one.

More radio play than I would have expected for such a slow burner. I really do love seeing songs shared. Never gets old for me. A genuine little buzz every time.

Morning.

This one is one of my albums of the year. Emanative continues his own road in the uk jazz scene. Playing with my favourite artists, innovators and inspirers of 20+ years.

Possibly my favourite Emanative to date. Beautiful, looping explorations, ambient, emotional, hypnotic.

Morning!
Finally picked up a copy. I wanted to be Galliano when I was really finding my stride with making music. The combination of rhythm, poetry, soul, jazz, something quintessentially British, inspired me so much.

I’m so happy this album exists and we have them back!

Excuse the state of the sleeve (damp in a flat a lifetime ago).

I really needed to hear No Use this morning. This record was essential and absolutely rinsed when I was getting back into music in London after years of floundering and trying to just get by.

Jazzanova!

After Innervisions yesterday had so many people saying it was their favourite. It definitely had a huge inspiring impact on me but I’d be hard pressed to pick it as a favourite over these two.

Talking Book held the spot for a long time. For You’ve Got It Bad Girl alone.

Some mornings this is the only thing that I want.

The power of the opening synth and drums is an endless wake up call.

This album truly changed my life. I’ve obsessed over it for 35 years. It is comfort and joy and inspiration.

Little personal milestones that mean a lot.

I used to read SO many music magazines when I was starting out so I still get a big buzz buying one that I’m in!

Thanks to @jazzwisemagazine.bsky.social for putting this really kind review of my new album in the latest issue.

I’d never heard of Maria Dolores Pradera until my wife’s uncle had me look through his record collection when we were visiting in Bogotá this year.

He insisted I take this with me as I loved it so much. We lost him just a couple of months later making this record even more special.

One of those label days where it just feels like what you thought running a label would feel.

Spending time with brilliant musicians filming songs, capturing beautiful sounds and moments.

Working on something here with our amazing friend/artist Arjuna Oakes.

Ok I’m in…

Amanda has been making beautiful jazz harp records for a few years now and is a HUGE Christmas fan, so this is a perfect December drop from her.

I’ve gleefully watched her on insta playing Christmas songs thru Dec for a couple of years.

So happy to have this record now.

A day and a half in Budapest.

Saw one of my bands play their final show. Emotional, beautiful, brilliant. So much love in A38. Such a brilliant band.

If you haven’t heard Mörk yet you have truly been missing out.

Also, Budapest is so beautiful I love being here. Would love to spend more time.

#nowplaying another one on this beautiful crisp morning.

Honestly one of the biggest influences on me in the last 30 years. Two Pages changed everything for me. This album includes massive nods to their own influences (Stevie cover) but Morning Child grabbed me so much. Incredible sounding record.

This album is so special to me. My CD copy of this is the first album I bought after I moved to London.

I listened to it over and over in those first few months and it broadened my horizons with UK jazz so much. I was tipped to Chris by 4Hero’s Two Pages.

Love it so much!

On this beautiful, frosty, sunny morning I need the beauty of Jon Lucien.

I remember I first heard Would You Believe In Me & got quickly obsessed. Downloaded all his albums off mp3 blogs and lived in his music for months.

He has something unique in sound and spirit that never ages.

Good morning.
Now playing on an incredibly wet and grey Wednesday morning…

Sharing a little #bts from Hazel, one of the newest tracks created for my Music for Autumn Lovers album.

Paintbrush percussion?

The aim with all these tracks was to create something close and intimate and warm for winter hibernation.

The paintbrush was so perfectly delicate for this.

So much love for this amazing reissue. Such a quintessential jazz album already, but with the remaster and bonus tracks it’s a really special experience.

Playing new arrangements of each others songs together for the first time after just a couple of rehearsals. So special.

In the spirit of acknowledging all the amazing NEW music that is flooding into our world every DAY. Here are two recent purchases/loves I’m making more time for this morning.

The incredible Joshua Idehen

And new magic from one of the UKs leftfield jazz gems Emanative.

Morning. This is an autumn standard for me. I’ve loved this album since it came out but I really lean into it when October and November come around.

One of the most gentle records I’ve ever known, it feels so withdrawn at times that it doesn’t want to exist. But I’m so grateful for it’s existence.
November 18, 2024 at 9:30 AM
So proud to have worked with all these incredible artists at Albert’s Favourites over the last 9 years.

Initially just a home for The Expansions, Jonny Drop’s forthcoming material, Modified Man (aka Adam and Dave) and any new Scrimshire material that may eventually come along.
