Atlas’s discography speaks of a solo artist who continually explores and develops her route through music, also collaborating with names including Jean-Michel Jarre and Peter Gabriel; and her arrival at large-scale project and album ‘Strange Days’ marks a significant, visionary shift. A broad personnel is wholly attuned to their concept – at its core, pianist Alcyona Mick, bassist Andy Hamill, drummers Laurie Lowe and Asaf Sirkis, trumpeter Hayden Powell and trombonist Robinson Khoury. Alongside the strings and Oli Savill’s percussion that are central to this unique, balanced fusion of jazz and Arabic music come guest appearances from reedsman Idris Rahman, guitarist Paulo Vinicius and vocalists Joss Stone, Tanya Wells and Sofiane Saidi. Metaphorical, dystopian themes abound as the swirling jazz mystery of “Out of Time” unveils Atlas’s vocal fluency and inflection, while spirited “Maktoub” (‘that which is written’) bounces with infectious hip-hop and Tsifteteli rhythms, portamento strings and choral unison. The serenely-ornamented “Inherent Rhythm” leads to soulful, post-hip-hop sashay ‘Words of a King’ (referencing Martin Luther King and Jacques Fresco), featuring a gliding vocal duo with Joss Stone. The James Brown classic ‘It’s a Man’s World’ is unexpectedly interpreted in smoky, sensual film noir (hear those strings); and impressionistic reverie “Moonchild” pays homage to incisive poet Kate Tempest. ”Strange Days is a culmination of what I want to express through music – my hybridity and duality between the Middle East and Europe, in all its facets”, affirms Atlas. “We are blessed with these musicians, combining everything we love about jazz and Arabic music.” Artist Natacha Atlas Genre Jazz Label Whirlwind Recordings Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Out Of Time Maktoub Min Baad All The Madness Sunshine Day Lost Revolutions Inherent Rhythm Words Of A King It’s A Man’s World Moonchild Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Muriel Grossmann Devotion Jazz | Third Man Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st December 2023 £23.00 Select options Muriel Grossmann Devotion £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Third Man Records Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Louis Sclavis Quartet Characters On A Wall Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 20th September 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Louis Sclavis Quartet Characters On A Wall £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 0804585 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Anthony Joseph The Rich are Only Defeated When Running for their Lives Jazz | Heavenly Sweetness | 1LP Released 8th October 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anthony Joseph The Rich are Only Defeated When Running for their Lives £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Heavenly Sweetness SKU: HS218VL Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cannonball Adderley Quintet In San Fransico Jazz | Back To Black | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 23rd July 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cannonball Adderley Quintet In San Fransico £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Back To Black SKU: 1810351 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kenny Burrell Bluesy Burrell Jazz | Analogue Productions (Prestige) | 180g, 1LP Released 16th December 2016 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kenny Burrell Bluesy Burrell £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Prestige) SKU: APRJ29 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davies Greatest Hits Jazz | We Are Vinyl | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 8th May 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davies Greatest Hits £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: We Are Vinyl SKU: 88985446121 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grant Green Alive Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 15th November 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grant Green Alive £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 807385 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Diana Krall Stepping Out Jazz | Justin Time Records | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th May 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Diana Krall Stepping Out £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Justin Time Records SKU: 0068944005017 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nat Adderley Work Song Jazz | Fantasy | 1LP Released 8th January 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nat Adderley Work Song £18.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Fantasy SKU: AOJC363 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gerry Mulligan Quartet What Is There To Say?
