Whirlwind Recordings

Whirlwind Recordings is a UK label for improvised music, based in London. Established in 2010 by Michael Janisch, this label has become a prominent force in the world of jazz and contemporary music.
With a focus on showcasing talented artists and performers, Whirlwind Recordings has built a reputation for releasing high-quality recordings that push the boundaries of genre and style. From cutting-edge jazz to experimental sounds, their diverse catalog offers something for every music lover.
As an authoritative voice in the industry, Whirlwind Recordings continues to nurture emerging talent while also collaborating with established musicians. Their commitment to innovation and creativity has earned them critical acclaim and a loyal following worldwide.

Marta Sanchez's creative voice is strikingly original - circling rhythms, elaborate forms and criss-crossing counterpoint distinguishes her sonic signature on the crowded New York contemporary music scene.

Following three critically acclaimed quintet releases, the Madrid-born pianist-composer presents SAAM (Spanish American Art Museum), an album driven by emotional candour and boundary-pushing compositions. A talented cast realises her knotty, technical writing - frontline partners Alex Lore and Roman Filiu meet Sanchez, Rashaan Carter and Allan Mednard on backline duties. SAAM riffs on the Smithsonian American Art Museum, on an album that's an exhibition of Sanchez's life in musical form: "It's made up of all the elements of society from both countries [Spain and America] that impact my life and make me who I am." Matters internal and external are realised in musical expositions of complex feelings. The pieces took shape in lockdown, as Sanchez exchanged fortnightly composition tasks with a pen-pal. "Those compositions express all the phases I was going through at that time. I was re ecting super deeply on what's important, and how we might give some sense to life."
