Style

Blues‑inflected fusion guitar lines that sing first—then open into modern jazz vocabulary.

Keys paint the harmony (Rhodes/organ color, cinematic pads) while bass and drums lock a deep pocket.

Tight hits, elastic time, and room for risk: a groove band built for interplay and lift‑off.

Project profile

Allen Hinds Group sits right at the intersection where jazz harmony, blues articulation, and rock attitude share the same downbeat. The guitar speaks in long, vocal arcs—phrasing that’s as lyrical as it is punchy—while the rhythm section keeps the music grounded in an unshakeable, forward‑leaning groove. Matt Rohde’s keyboard palette expands the band’s harmonic spectrum: warm comping, organ grit, and modern textures that can turn a turnaround into a landscape. Travis Carlton anchors the low end with a pocket‑first sensibility—supportive, melodic, and always in dialogue with the kick—while Donald Barrett’s drumming is tuned for motion: dynamic control, clear subdivisions, and a song‑serving instinct that makes the ensemble feel both tight and open. The result is a Groove Fusion set that moves like a band and improvises like a conversation.

AVAILABILITY FOR EUROPE

2026 | MARCH and MAY

Line‑up

Lage Lund | Guitar
Wynton Marsalis, Ron Carter, Maria Schneider, David Sánchez, Mulgrew Miller, Seamus Blake, Bill Stewart, Eric Harland, Aaron Parks

Mark Turner | Saxophone
Kurt Rosenwinkel, Brad Mehldau, Billy Hart, Tom Harrell, Enrico Rava, Jeff Ballard, Larry Grenadier, Ethan Iverson, Avishai Cohen, Paul Motian

Kendrick Scott | Drums
Herbie Hancock, Terence Blanchard, Pat Metheny, Charles Lloyd, The Crusaders, Joe Lovano, Roy Hargrove, David Sanborn, Dianne Reeves, Robert Glasper, Kenny Garrett, Kurt Rosenwinkel

Style

A lucid, lyrical guitar voice shapes chord‑light architectures where melody and counterpoint do the harmonic lifting.
An elastic rhythm team—Brewer/Scott—keeps the floor buoyant, balancing flow, color and pulse.
Turner’s tensile lines thread through the textures, amplifying the band’s modern, quietly fearless poetry.

Overall profile

The Lage Lund 4tet distills contemporary jazz language into something lean, melodic and quietly daring. Lund’s guitar favors clarity of attack and long, vocal arcs; he often lets voice‑leading, not density, set the harmony. Around him, Matt Brewer’s resonant bass designs anchor and reframe the changes while Kendrick Scott’s dynamic cymbal language and micro‑metric phrasing give the music lift without weight. Mark Turner’s tenor extends the quartet’s contrapuntal logic—focused tone, long lines and subtle rhythmic displacements—so themes can bloom in negative space as much as in unison. Across the axes of timbre/articulation, harmonic vocabulary and interplay/roles, the vector skews toward lyric precision, advanced but song‑aware harmony, and chamber‑like balance. Weighted by the leader (0.5) and the distinct colors of the others (≈0.17 each), the project’s DNA foregrounds melodic narrative over sheer saturation: grooves breathe, forms invite spontaneous redesign, and the quartet’s sound lands where post‑bop lyricism, ECM‑tinged atmosphere and New‑York rhythmic acuity meet.

Member details

Lage Lund — Guitar. Clear, singing tone; phrasing that privileges melody, inner‑voice motion and dynamic nuance. On recent releases (e.g., Ashes, Most Peculiar), he blends trio transparency with elegant effects for textural lift. Interplay mindset: leaves air around motifs and lets rhythm color the harmony. (“This subtly inventive record is finely balanced between the driving force of Sorey and Brewer’s rhythm and the sensitivity of Lund’s guitar.” — James Read, UK Vibe, 2023‑10‑10)

Mark Turner — Tenor Saxophone. Dry‑focused timbre, long‑line architecture, and contrapuntal clarity; favors chord‑sparse settings where line equals harmony. Roles oscillate between shadow‑melody, canonic counterline and tensile solo flights; rhythmic feel: patient, metrically slippery. (“The American saxophonist’s ace quartet rise to the challenge of his demanding compositions with real flair.” — Dave Gelly, The Guardian, 2022‑04‑09)

Matt Brewer — Bass. Grounded, resonant sound with a composer’s sense of contour; sophisticated harmonic vocabulary and exact intonation. Works as anchor and co‑architect—pivoting the groove, setting knots of counterpoint, and opening form. (“Widely respected for the technical wizardry and wide musical scope he has brought to a panoply of sideman engagements.” — Ted Panken, DownBeat, 2020‑08‑04)

Kendrick Scott — Drums. A big dynamic window, shapely ride‑cymbal logic and orchestrated independence. In chord‑light formats (Corridors), he paints harmony with touch and register; groove ethos: elastic, song‑first, deeply interactive. (“It is still a delight when an album like Corridors comes along.” — Will Layman, PopMatters, 2023‑04‑04)

Discography highlights

Lage Lund — Ashes (JMI, 2023); Most Peculiar (Criss Cross, 2023); Terrible Animals (Criss Cross, 2019).

Torat Vol. 1

TORAT Vol. 1 from DARAA TRIBES is OUT!

TORAT Vol. 1 from DARAA TRIBES is OUT!

Torat Vol. 1

Moroccan desert blues band Daraa Tribes releases their new EP Torat Vol. 1. It is the band’s third EP and third release with label Coral Riff Music.

‘Torat’ means ‘tradition’ in Moroccan Arabic and reflects the ancestral, traditional music that not only influenced this new release, but can be heard through traditional percussion and vocal styles in each song on the EP.

Songs like ‘Bshara’ and ‘Lghram’ come directly from traditional Hassania, Amazigh, and Daraoua ancestral customs found throughout southern Morocco and across North Africa.

This reflection and representation of traditional music is met with an eclectic modern blues/rock style apparent on each track. This is a continuation of Daraa Tribes efforts on each of the band’s previous releases to innovate upon ancestral cultural traditions, using them as a foundation for their creative process.

The band simultaneously released a lyric video for the song ‘Bshara’, translated into both Hassania Arabic and English. This song tells the story of the Aarib tribe, nomadic in origin, and their historical relationship with their surrounding environments. Major themes include a cultural, social, and economic importance placed upon camels, music customs performed by the tribal youth, and greeting other tribal members traveling from Afar. These themes are not just common among nomadic Hassania culture historically in North Africa, but are still very much part of modern cultural life in the Sahara desert of Morocco.

Line-up

Tereza Rays | Voice & Guitar
Collaborations: Kenney Jones (The Who), Paul Bond (War of the Worlds), Kirk Covington (Tribal Tech), Ivan Král (Patti Smith).

Robin Evans | Drums
Collaborations: Neeve Zahra, Kyle Francis Falc, PROSE (UK).

Cayman | Electric Bass
Collaborations: Electric Lady (studio & live), Thanks Jimi Festival, O2 Arena (opening for Rytmus).

Style

A power‑trio that welds Hendrix‑lit guitar language to a modern, hook‑forward rock chassis.
The pocket is built on relentless, front‑of‑the‑beat drums and a gritty, growling low‑end.
Swagger and catharsis: defiant anthems that move from tight riffs to widescreen choruses.

Overall profile

Founded by Czech guitarist‑vocalist‑composer Tereza Rays in 2013, Electric Lady condense a decade of road‑forged craft into a lean, high‑voltage trio. 2025 marks a sharp new chapter: the singles “I’m Done (I’ve Had Enough)” (2025‑06‑27), “One Way Ticket” (2025‑07‑25) and “I Must Let You Go” (2025‑09‑12) crystallise their signature blend of riff‑driven attack and melodic lift. Rolling Stone UK spotlighted the band on 2025‑07‑29, citing their arena‑tested presence (Global Rock Summit, Thanks Jimi Festival; opener at Prague’s O2 Arena for Rytmus) and collaborations with Kenney Jones and Paul Bond. On 2025‑09‑09 they delivered a Camden debut at The Black Heart, hailed by MetalTalk for sheer voltage. Stylistically: a Hendrix‑tinged timbre and blues‑rock vocabulary; groove engines that prize impact and clarity; interaction that leaves space for chorus‑scale hooks. In 2025 the line‑up features UK drummer Robin Evans and Prague bassist Cayman, whose driving pocket underlines Rays’ guitar‑vocal authority—an assertive, contemporary rock statement built for festival stages and late‑night radio.

Members — details & focus

Tereza Rays — voice, guitar (CZ)
Timbre: bright, cutting upper mids with controlled grit; articulation from clipped funk to singing sustain. Technique/idiomatic: riff architecture, tight alternate‑picking and vibrato with Hendrix lineage. Harmonic language: blues‑rock/modal colour; melodic turns that favour anthemic lift. Rhythm/groove: assertive, tempo‑sure phrasing; lock‑step with kick. Influences/schools: Hendrix/Zeppelin lineage, modern alt‑rock staging. “Vocalist and guitarist Tereza Rays is a tour de force.” (Sara Harding, MetalTalk, 2025‑09‑11).

Robin Evans — drums (UK)
Timbre/articulation: dry, forward snare; crisp hats; explosive but controlled crashes. Technique/idiomatic: punchy backbeat power with linear fills; pop‑aware dynamics. Role/interplay: drives front‑of‑the‑beat urgency; frames chorus lift. “…propelled by Robin Evans’ relentless drumming…” (Lock Editor, LOCK Magazine, 2025‑07‑07).

Cayman — electric bass (CZ)
Timbre/articulation: gritty, mid‑forward growl with pick attack; anchors riffs in unison figures. Technique/idiomatic: rock pocket with funk‑leaning articulation; pedal‑tone drive. Role/interplay: glues guitar‑kick axis; counter‑riffs under vocal cadences. “…and Cayman’s grumbling bass lines.” (Lock Editor, LOCK Magazine, 2025‑07‑07).

In 2015, she released her debut album “Electrical”, which she went on to record at the invitation of drummer Kirk Covington to the USA in Texas. She completed and released musical material in the Czech Republic and became a corporate player of the world-famous brand Fender.

Style
Polyphonic jazz-rock where the electric guitar behaves like a full ensemble voice: contrapuntal writing, modern harmony, odd-meter architecture and wide-screen dynamics—virtuosity always serving form and narrative.

Profile
Daniele Gottardo Trio is built around a rare premise: the guitar is treated as orchestration. Gottardo’s writing layers melodic lead lines with inner voices, counterpoint and chamber-like voicings, then locks them into contemporary grooves where rock drive and jazz articulation coexist without compromise. The sound stays clear and “composed” even at high intensity—less a soloist with accompaniment, more three musicians sharing multiple roles at once.

That polyphonic idea extends to the rhythm section. Bassist Nicolò Vese expands the harmonic field through counterlines, register shifts and chordal color, moving between supportive foundation and melodic engine with a modern prog-fusion touch. Drummer Giuseppe Risitano completes the architecture with a contemporary-jazz approach to time and dynamics: precise pocket when needed, open texture when the arrangement asks for air, and an instinct for shaping transitions as part of the form.

The band’s signature sits at the intersection of modern fusion and progressive attitude: intricate voicings, tight rhythmic design, and a cinematic sense of arc.

Steve Vai endorsement (Top 10 Emerging Guitarists)
On his official website, Steve Vai published a dedicated post about Daniele Gottardo, describing him as a rare “blue-moon” discovery and praising not only his technique but his harmonic and melodic choices: “His technique is stunning… the harmonic/melodic atmospheres he creates have unique qualities to them.” (Steve Vai, Vai.com, 2014-04-25). Italian event press has also referred to this recognition as part of Vai’s “Top 10 Emerging Guitarists” selection. (Radio Medua, 2025-09-15; The Messineser, 2025-09-16)

Details
Daniele Gottardo’s catalog is shaped by long-form composition for electric guitar—moving from early solo statements to the concept-driven INkBlot era, where Guitar World framed the record as “modern guitar concertos” built on orchestrated sound design. (Mark McStea, Guitar World, 2023-05-16)

Nicolò Vese’s core aesthetic is interplay and shared roles: “The project was meant to present a lot of interplay between us.” (Gregory Adams, Guitar World, 2024-10-09)

Giuseppe Risitano’s feel has been noted for how it “glues” complex music together: “…a slick pocket push that was all the glue this piece needed.” (Jim Worsley, All About Jazz, 2020-10-15)
