The latest from Manchester's Gondwana Records (founded by Matthew Halsall), this is the debut solo album by saxophonist/flautist Jack Wyllie of Portico Quartet. Inspired by his love of landscape, melodies surface like spring shoots, drifting between jazz, ambient, and post-rock, with one track co-written by Hania Rani.

Leonardo Marques

Flea Market Music

Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Leonardo Marques's 2022 album plays like a musical flea market, collaging nostalgia, memory, and dream. Working in a vein close to Shuggie Otis with vintage analog gear, he conjures a languid, warm, dream-pop texture laced with folk, psych, and jazz harmony.

Calm — Ambient Jazz
Ambient / Jazz / Electronic 2026

Calm

Ambient Jazz

Japanese electronic musician Calm's 19th studio album, his first in four years. Dreamlike as being drawn into a hidden paradise: "Jazz Acid" swaps the guitar's role for a Roland TB-303, while closer "Just A Love Song" drifts on wistful strings — ambient stillness meeting the joy of jazz improvisation.
