Brotherhood 06:52
Ride to the death yes my brother would, And I for my brother I woulda die woulda dive took an eye for an eye look alive look at life through a monocle, we abide by unspoken rules friendship and brotherhood, through rising tensions true intentions misunderstood but stood beside, Moot points a few joints few coins but my brother good, who's right to judge Not I, neither my brother would, let he who has not sinned cast the first stone, I bet he never could, dont mention it my honours good, all love, Friendship and brotherhood. Instead of the wars I stand with my brother Instead of the fed a man a call up my brother Instead of the bad vibes man a bun that get high with my brother No wonder the friendship longer Been through the most the wins and the blunders Young kings growing old through these numbers Seen more than a few summers More than a few stunners Rolled with a few gunners Now time be upon us Unbroken bond unspoken words wish well for each other. To my day ones To friendship and brotherhood Till the day done I pray God my brother good. may we stand tall Men of awe, Pray we hang on Never fall All as one under this sun Sisters and mothers Spirits of love Strengnth to the daughters and fathers and sons Rise beyond the surface unified you decide define your purpose the worth of a person The whole is greater than the sum of its parts for certain

about

‘Not For Now’ follows an acclaimed series of DIY self-releases and videos, released over the course of a year from May 2019. The highlights were collated on a sold-out vinyl EP on Worm Discs and received support across Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland. In this short but productive space of time, corto.alto were awarded for Best Band and Album at the Scottish Jazz Awards 2020, and received a personal invitation by Gilles Peterson to perform at We Out Here 2021.

Originally conceived as a self-imposed challenge for Liam to release new music every three weeks for a year, corto.alto’s incredible success has postponed any plans to end the project. As Liam puts it, “so I called this E.P “Not for Now”, in reply to “Is That It?”, the last track from “Live at 435”, featuring a hero of mine, Soweto Kinch”. Lockdown gave Liam plenty of time “to better gauge a sense of perspective of where I fit as an artist in the world of music” and find the right balance between “over intellectualised” or “over commercialised” ‘jazz’.

about

corto.alto Glasgow, UK

Limitation can be a creative force in a world where anything is possible, and for a young Liam Shortall, that pool of influence & opportunity was as diverse as any. Born in Glasgow and surrounded by music from a young age, he gravitated initially towards instrumental music, picking up the trombone, learning his jazz chops, and listening to the big band, blues, and ska sounds of his family home. ... more
