Timothy Crane’s website describes his music as instrumental pop music that blends influences from new age, popular, rock, and even classical music into compositions that are both interesting and enjoyable. This would be a very accurate description of this contemporary pianist whose impressive accessible debut solo recording, ‘The Other Life I Dream’, was released years ago.

Since then, Timothy Crane has not only avoided the dreaded sophomore jinx but has also continued to create and compose impressive compositions, with 2010’s ‘Dragonfly’ & 2012’s ‘Pianoforte’. Tim is now back with his new album, ‘The Fall of A Sparrow’.

​Saxophonist Elan Trotman is unwavering in his commitment to wave the flag high for Caribbean music, and after releasing six soul-jazz albums and more than ten chart-topping singles, the Barbados native is "shaking it up" by going electronic on ‘Electro Sax’, his seventh outing which is released by Island Muzik Productions.

The first single set to seduce the world is the smooth, reggae-infused “Island Gal”, which spotlights Trotman on soprano sax on the cut he describes as having “a sexy vibe to it.”
