Shauli Einav Quintet
about
Hailed by JazzTimes for his “agility and clean, clarion, powerful sound, ” saxophonist and composer Shauli Einav is a wide-ranging musician whose artistry is rooted in a search for truth. That philosophy has guided him throughout a venturesome career, including collaborations with such leading jazz figures as Aaron Goldberg, David Liebman, Gilad Hekselman, Avishai Cohen, Johnathan Blake, Shai Maestro, and Tigran Hamasyan, among others. Born in the Israeli countryside, Einav went on to study in New York and spent several years on the Paris jazz scene before settling in Luxembourg.
As noted by All About Jazz, “Shauli Einav is a remarkably complete musician, a virtuosic soloist with a lush sound on both soprano and tenor whose compositions are daring and deep.” Those facets, propelled by his deep-seeded quest to expression an ever-evolving personal truth through, combine to make Einav one of the most compelling and searching saxophonists in jazz today.

Theo Croker
About
Grammy Award-nominated trumpeter / composer / producer starts yet another chapter in his constant evolution as an artist, returning with a new album. Since his 2007 debut, the record finds Croker making his first ever foray into the concept of love, once again inviting listeners on a genre-defying journey across time and space in discovery of the self and our shared human experience.
Croker has also lent his talents to platinum-selling albums by J. Cole, Ari Lennox, Common, and more — all while touring with his band at venues across the globe.
As the grandson of the late trumpeter Doc Cheatham, and former student of legendary jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd, trumpeter Theo Croker is an artist steeped in jazz tradition. Well-versed in the swing, bop, and modal styles of acoustic jazz, Croker’s own music reveals a love of organic funk, soul, and groove-oriented hip-hop.
It’s a vital amalgam that would have pleased the forward-thinking Byrd, whose own ’70s funk-jazz albums are an obvious touchstone for Croker.

This daring French group dared to marry the freedom of jazz with the synthetic sounds of electronic music. Their journey began in 2001 when drummer Arnaud Renaville, saxophonist Thomas Faure, bassist Jeremie Coke, and keyboardist Gaël Cadoux decided to shake up the jazz scene with their unique vision.
As their sound transcended borders, Electro Deluxe gained international recognition. Their music spoke a universal language, attracting fans from all corners of the globe. With a fan base spanning multiple continents, they became ambassadors of the French music scene.
