Soundway presents a long-awaited remaster and re-cut of the 1976 album ‘Ifetayo’ by Black Truth Rhythm Band, an important and overlooked chapter in Trinidad’s rich musical history that blends West African influences with jazz, funk and the incisive social commentary of the calypso tradition. Led by the charismatic Oluko Imo, the group drew on the strong connections to Yoruba culture and Orisa traditions in Trinidad, looking to Africa for inspiration and reflecting the burgeoning Black Power movement of the time.

Vocalist Perry Como’s 16th studio album for RCA, 1968’s Look to Your Heart, showcased the popular singer’s mellow style. Look to Your Heart came on the heels of Como’s equally well-received holiday effort, The Perry Como Christmas Album, and featured a set of romantic, heartfelt ballads. As with many Como efforts during the ’60s, Look to Your Heart finds him backed throughout by lush, atmospheric orchestration. Also included are cuts Como recorded with the Ray Charles Singers, including “In These Crazy Times.” Here, Como lends his distinctive burnished croon to such songs as “My Cup Runneth Over,” “Sunrise Sunset,” “When You’re in Love,” “You’re Nearer,” and others. [The 2015 Real Gone Music reissue of Look to Your Heart includes both alternate and previously unreleased tracks from the sessions.] ~ Matt Collar

Peter Kooij, Mieneke van der Velden, L’ Armonia Sonora – Telemann : Solo Cantatas for Bass (2018)

No-one will be surprised to learn that Telemann, himself a baritone, has dedicated a substantial part of his output to cantatas (some 1400 works in total!) for baritone, as the convention in the Protestant world at the time was that the character of Jesus was reserved for that same baritone voice. And so here is a series of deeply intimate Passion cantatas for solo bass, with a sense of immense pain sketched out masterfully by a composer who knows how to always stay original. This is almost a kind of religious play, in which the plot is relayed through short, sober recitations, and then illuminated through staggering arias that border on musical painting. Dutch bass-baritone Peter Kooy (or Kooij), a follower of the legendary Max von Egmond, whose career took off from the 1980s with Herreweghe in the La Chapelle Royale and the Collegium Vocale of Gent, gives us a velvety reading, against an instrumental backdrop provided by L’Armonia Sonora. We are given a breather between cantatas in the shape of several instrumental sonatas. The album closes on an aria taken from the great Passion oratorio Seliges Erwägen des bittern Leidens, “Gute Nacht, ihr meine Lieben”. It is hard not to think of Bach with his “Gute Nacht” – Bach had already been evoked in one of the cantatas, Ich will den Kreuzweg gerne gehen whose lyrics and spirit come close to Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne Tragen of the Cantor of Leipzig (itself also for solo bass!), note the little differences in formulation between Bach and Telemann, who were colleagues and friends.
