Honolulu Records Jazz and experimental music. Honolulu is an independent label for non-commercial (mainly) improvised art music.

Honolulu Records is the most sincere and caring way we found to give a concrete life to our musical and artistic thoughts: a possible way out of the traditional labels' market and a solution to avoid wasting the creativity and the ideas of a community of musicians. We are a collective of musicians with a deep love for research and experimentation. Our aim is to produce music that is a spontaneous

and necessary expression of our time and to involve an audience as wide and as various as possible. We would like to help create connections between musicians, creative people, different artistic fields and to try spreading good music as much as we can. Honolulu Records provides assisted self-production and supports artists in releasing their music by lowering the printing costs and taking care as a collective of the bureaucratic and organisational aspects of the process.

It’s release day! Our 30th album is out today! 🎉🥳
THE HISTORY OF CARDENIO // DANIEL CANO TRIO

Daniel Cano Music - Trumpet
Andrea Di Biase - Double Bass
Dave Storey - Drums

Recorded Big Jelly Studios, United Kingdom.
Mixed by Tony Platt.
Mastered by Cicely Balston at Air Studio in London, UK.
Cover photo by Esin Ozge Kinik.
Band photo and Artwork by Binomi Design.

Live Album Launch at Heath Street Baptist Church in London on 19th May 2024 at 6pm!

This suite of symphonic poems retraces musically one of the stories contained in Cervantes’ Don Quixote, whose plot was brought to the stage by William Shakespeare.
It’s a poignant point of contact between two giants of Spanish and British culture. A bridge that I feel close to Daniel Cano’s personal life journey.

Historia de Cardenio es un poema sinfònico cuyos personajes transitan pr la traisiòn, la soledad, el amor imposible y la locura.
Me imagino a William Shakespeare leyendo El Quijote en un pub londinense y tambien me imagino a Cervantes, unos anos antes, pensando a còmo contraria la hisoria de Cardenio.
He compuesto esta obra para trompeta, baterìa e contrabajo; este trabajo recorre musicalmente una de las historias contenidas en el Quijote de Cervantes, cuya trama fue llevada a escena por William Shakespeare.

'De Origine I' by De Origine (HR29)

Noemi Fiorucci, voice
Vittorio Gravagna, guitar
Giovanni Nardiello, drums

The amazing debut album by this young trio draws inspiration from the most disparate worlds, from contemporary classical to Italian folk music and it's hard to put into a category.

"De Origine recounts the long and troubled journey, intimate and backwards, towards the unconscious."

Today is out on all digital platforms our 23rd release, "Permanente Colors" by Gianluca Zanello Ùmia which features the brilliant minds of Stefano Grasso on drums and Stefano Zambon on double bass.

About Ùmia:

"We thought it was right to use a new word that had not existed until a few days ago. This fresh idea was born from the pure imagination of an almost two-year-old trying to name something. A new name to define music, to give life to a project that wants to bring something new and sincere; what we truly feel and how we strive to be. Permanent colors symbolize each of us and the variety and mutability of everything often misconstrued by appearances. A single note can transform itself in the company of one chord rather than another; whether it is here or there; today or yesterday."

Recorded by Dan Kinzelman in his home studio in Foligno (PG) on 22nd of March 2022. Whistle recorded at Cristiano Pomante’s home in December 2022. Mixed and mastered by Giovanni Agosti
in December 2022. Cover photo by Marta Urio. Band photo by Ùmia. Layout by binomi design.

"In our music there's always a sort of rock/dirty vibe, it's important for us. We are a jazz trio but I hope a certain simplicity slips into the music through honest and deep melodies"

The new album 'Lontano Amor' by Orchestrina Pedeferri is OUT NOW!

If you're in Milan today, don't miss the album launch at ArteMadia - 9pm

"Lontano amor is a project dedicated to my grandmother, who sang all her life. While sewing, cooking, nursing children, when she was tired or cheerful. A boundless repertoire of popular or author songs; emotions from the past, an echo that I carry inside me since I was a child and I used to fall asleep listening to her lullabies and "Vecchio Scarpone". Through this project, I wanted to give new life to something hidden, beautiful and deep. The music has been played by four companions - with a rich musical experience (from jazz, free improvisation to classical and traditional music) - bonded together by the love for improvisation." Luca Pedeferri

ORCHESTRINA PEDEFERRI is:
Andrea Ciceri - saxophones
Simone Draetta - violin/viola
Luca Pedeferri - accordion
Luca Pissavini - double bass

Here is a nice review of Roberto Pianca's album "Mono No Aware" by laRegione.

'Mono No Aware' - literally 'The pathos of things' - is a Japanese concept which expresses the intense emotional participation in the beauty of nature and life. "I chose this title - explains Pianca - because it's one of those feelings that occurs to all of us, that sort of melancholy that everyone finds themselves feeling, at least once in their lifetime, when they realise that everything has a beginning and an end".

Have a listen to this beautiful music and if you can support, share or buy it! https://li.sten.to/RobertoPiancaMonoNoAware
