The New CTEBCM Compilation Album Is Here!

The simply titled 8 is a celebration of our eighth year of service, bringing you a total of one hundred and seventeen (117) songs from as many different artists and almost as many genres and musical styles!

The track order is alphabetical, so there are no favourites: the album starts with an amazing contemporary classical piece for voice, and ends with an incredible electro-math rock banger. In-between these extremes, you’ll find a wide range of compositions and improvisations from some of the best artists that were featured between 2019 and 2020 on our website!

Monthly Recommendations: June 2020

Prudent Primate – Aphelion

It’s not the first Prudent Primate album I find myself enjoying, although it’s my first time writing about them here. Aphelion is Bristol’s nu jazz quartet’s latest offering, and it’s also their finest! From their debut 2018 album through their 2019 EP, the band has honed its sound and sharpened their own grasp of what exactly works right for them, giving way to a considerable album with zero filler content; only good vibes and amazing musicianship.
