Finnish jazz/electronic artist Jimi Tenor has posted the video for the new track "Sunrise": https://jimitenor.com/sunrise.ram
The song will appear on his new album "Joystone", due out April 10 via Sähkö. The record features guest musicians Kabu Kabu, a trio of West-African musicians and ex-Fela Kuti sidemen lead by artist Nicholas Addo Nettey. Also be on the lookout for a new live album, to be released digitally via Kitty-Yo on April 20. The recording was made during the "Beyond the stars" tour back in 2004 at Club Maria in Berlin and will be called, appropriately enough, "Live in Berlin".

Speaking of Maia Hirasawa, did you notice that her debut album "Though, I'm just me" is April's Record Club selection? Yes indeed! You can still purchase the disc ala carte, but why not spend a dollar more and get a little bit more? Or subscribe for a longer time and make your money go further. Take your time, think it over.
