Coming up this summer on Modern Recordings, we’ll release Graham Hastings’ soundtrack for »The Bike Thief« a gritty British drama-thriller starring Alec Secareanu and Anamaria Marinca – written and directed by Matt Chambers.

With his signature sound that brings together poignant trumpet and dynamic electronic soundscapes, Nils Petter Molvær has achieved heavyweight status for showing a path forward for the genre in a new age, a path which, faithful to jazz’ past, remains cool all the way. His upcoming release, Stitches, is no different. Unafraid to explore new sounds and emotions, Molvær once again shows us that not only jazz has a future, but one that is both bright and exciting.

This Friday, we have a lot of music for you. Not only do Vince Mendoza and Craig Armstrong share with us new singles of their upcoming albums. We are also excited to release Sebastian Knauer’s album “The Mozart / Nyman Concert” – a collection of 6 interpretations of works by Mozart and 6 original compositions by Michael Nyman, exclusively written for Knauer. Stay tuned!
