Bill King

Artist: Bill King
Title: Desert Orchid
Label: 7 Arts
Genre(s): Latin / Classical / Jazz / World



Renowned New Mexico artist Deborah Samuels – “Desert Orchid contains the best of what the southwest is all about. Lovely and filled with such grace!”

Desert Orchid – is an aural reflection of the American southwest - the landscape, plant life, the verandas, and rugged people who live artfully amongst nature’s often hostile terrain. The plateaus in the distance, the thousands of miles of blowing sand, the harsh morning light, the grace and pastoral beauty of late afternoon is encased in one, lone Desert Orchid.

“I’ve been exploring a variety of Spanish influenced themes with 2018 Grammy-nominated violinist Elizabeth Rodriguez and Magdelys Savigne of jazz musician Jane Bunnett’s, all-Cuban women’s ensemble, Maqueque.

Last year, under banner The Uprising we saw the release of Isle of Saints – a contemporary mix of Cuban rhythms and 70s’ style fusion jazz. Over the holidays the ranchero style single arrived, “Amarga Navidad” with OKAN – the band guided by Rodriguez and Savigne. Also, in the mix, Cuban virtuoso Pablofsky Rosales on guitar,” says pianist/composer Bill King.

Desert Orchid mixes Spanish roots with chamber music, a most unusual marriage of genres. One moment, the performance seems as if you were shaded by a porch and basking in a hot summer’s wind, the other; at a concert hall listening to the sophisticated ensemble.

"A beautiful alchemy in music"

Ajay Mathur's new album Little Boat

Mart Kawaii of Flowers in a Gun ’ introduces the Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Ajay Mathur as “a true citizen of the world. Born in India, living in Switzerland and creating his own version of Americana with Led Zeppelin-esque guitars, exotic instruments, catchy songwriting and lyrics that speak to the heart.” Ajay’s unique genre-bending style is best described by Buzz Feeds Gail Serv “Ajay Mathur mixes stylish Americana, pop, rock, and psychedelic rock for his eclectic new music, Mathur is cooking up an interesting treat for the listener”. Louise Parker of Paste Magazine goes even further to describe Ajay as “an artist that stands out from the crowd,….. one of my obsessions… With a creativeness that quickly outshines the rest, Ajay Mathur is an artist that should be on your radar”.

The best way to describe the thread that runs through the genre-bending songs on Ajay Mathur’s newest album Little Boat is ‘resilience’. The theme is approached in various ways. On Ajay’s first single release “Forget About Yesterday” - an upbeat song with smirk - he approaches it in a comical way. In order to create a unique Indian Bhangra infested Bo Diddley Rock ’n’ Roll dance groove, Ajay has fused typical rock instruments with unlikely sounds including mouth harp and Indian Tablas along with blues harp and Cajon accordion in ‘Forget About Yesterday’. It’s no wonder that Gail Serv of Buzz Feed calls Ajay’s songwriting "A beautiful alchemy in music".

Little Boat follows on Ajay’s previous releases of ‘A Matter of Time' (2011), 'Come See Conquer' (2013) and the highly successful '9 to 3' (2015) that earned him a Grammy nomination in 2016. All of his albums have enjoyed excellent reviews, rankings on the charts and positive acknowledgement in the international media. Little Boat is an emotional roller-coaster ride, from the first song of this 12-track album right to the very last and highlights Mathur’s one-of-a-kind approach to songwriting and recording while promising a unique musical adventure to mature and curious music lovers.
