Over the last few days, we've been running a little featurette on Red & Black Music's 4 projects. 💛❤️💜💙

Samba E Amor (Bebel Gilberto) Video by Tiger Music Entertainment Vamos Sambar! "We LOVED having the band and we have had some amazing feedback from our delegates.
Please pass on my thanks to the band as they were fantastic. They brought a superb energy to the night and their performance was at an incredible standard. I particularly liked that they gave us a special Brazilian set list to stay true to the styles of Latin Music across Latin America. The band were well mannered and I really enjoyed chatting to them and getting to know them. Overall we all thought the band were incredible and if there is a suitable event to work with them again I will be in touch."

I’ve wanted to complete this for ages and I couldn’t find the right words to go about it.
Two years ago to this day, January 11th, some of us lost a very special friend, musician and colleague. This album is dedicated to the memory of Julian Mark Harris. Although I wish he were still here, I'm always thinking of him, but particularly on this day, inspired by him and his music, which live on in myself and I’m sure everyone whoever had the pleasure of hearing it. Julian's previously unreleased guitar playing can be heard on tracks 4-6, and 8-9 of this album, alongside the percussion of Luigi De Gouveia. It also features Benjamin Gasiglia (guitar) and Riccardo Castellani (percussion). I know Julian would have loved to have heard the finished result because it includes many of the tunes we used to play together. I dedicate this album to Julian Mark Harris with whom many of us shared wonderful memories and good times. Em Balança: an album dedicated to the late Julian Harris (August 7, 1963 - January 11, 2016). Rory Duffy - Alto & Tenor Saxophones, Flute, Vocals Julian Harris - Guitar, Luigi De Gouveia - Cajon, Percussion (tracks 4-6, 8-9) Benjamin Gasiglia - Guitar, Riccardo Castellani - Cajon, Percussion (tracks 1-3, 7 & 10) Recorded at Map Studio Café, 46 Grafton Rd, Kentish Town, London, NW5 3DU Edited at Casanova Music, Chorlton, Manchester Produced, mixed and mastered by Gavin Beckwith GB Sound, Basement, Battle House, 1 East Barnet Road, London, EN4 8RR Executive producers Rory Duffy, Claire Maillot & Jo Mantini Red & Black Music
