After assuming A\u0026amp;R control of Freestyle Records, Boraman's first signing was 'Jessica Lauren Four' (2012) and also released 'Almeria' (2018). Both albums exhibited her minimalist approach: Jessica's music is always sophisticated and complex but also accessible and listenable.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'FILM' has a fascinating backstory, inasmuch as it was originally recorded in 1997 and saw a CD only release in 1999 via the MELT 2000 label. That CD had been a firm favourite of Greg Boraman's since then, and he recalls 'I had it loaded onto my iPod and each time a track from Film came up on shuffle I thought just how much I thought it should be re-issued and given the attention it deserves'.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJessica had also harboured plans to do something with this project, even treating the recordings to a 24 bit analog remastering by Guy Davie at Electric, but it remained on the shelf - until now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2024, this 27-year-old album is quite remarkable in that it sounds simply and stunningly contemporary, and fits seamlessly with the current soundscape of explorative, genre bending 21st century jazz music.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlending modal jazz, electronica, library music, field recordings and more, it melds acoustic and electric pianos, harpsichord with synthesisers, electronica and digital techniques as though it's the most natural combination in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilm cements Jessica's reputation as a pioneering, far sighted artist who was years ahead of the crowd.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419501187457,"sku":"2453325","price":33.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0197190039931.jpg?v=1750562349","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2453325","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
