CORRENTEZA (Single), Music by John Finbury feat. Mestrinho, Cainã Cavalcante, Michael Pipoquinha & Celso De Almeida (Producer)
This song inspired by a true story: the composer’s harrowing encounter with a riptide while swimming in the Atlantic ocean and the wave that almost broke him before bringing him to shore.
Recorded in São Paulo on December 2021 by a sublime lineup of Brazilian musicians, this project represents a new chapter in Finbury's affair with Brazilian music, which includes two more songs to be released later in 2022.
MYTHOLOGIES (Album), by Danaë Xanthe Vlasse feat. Hila Plitmann & Sangeeta Kaur (Co-Producer)
2022 Grammy@ Winner - Best Classical Solo Vocal Album

BOULEVARD (Single), Music by John Finbury feat. Camille Bertault (Producer)
"Boulevard" is the second single from the collaboration between French jazz singer extraordinaire Camille Bertault and Grammy-nominated composer John Finbury. With French lyrics penned by Camille herself, she is joined by organist Larry Goldings, known for his work with Pat Metheny, Maceo Parker and James Taylor (among many others) and drummer Billy Martin, of the famed trio Medeski, Martin & Wood.
LOOK AT WHAT A MESS YOU MADE OF ME (Single), Music by John Finbury feat. Camille Bertault (Producer)
This song is the first to emerge from the artistic collaboration between French Jazz singer extraordinaire Camille Bertault and composer John Finbury.
Given the studio protocols of pandemic times, the artists and producers sought a simple instrumentation, so “Look At What A Mess You Made Of Me” became a voice and bass duet. The bass chair belongs to Christian McBride, who achieves a stunning balance of brawny playing with a sense of humor.
RING THE BELLS (Single), Thalma De Freitas & John Finbury (Producer)
On February 11, 2021, Chick Corea’s passing was announced.
John Finbury sat at his piano in Massachusetts that night and responded to the sad news by playing a somber, repetitive passage that seemed to provide solace. He made a phone recording and sent it to his friend, singer Thalma de Freitas. The next morning, Thalma woke up in Los Angeles, listened to the music, and was inspired to improvise a melody and lyrics on top of John’s piano motif. She sent a voice recording back to John, and a song was born.
QUATRO Music by John Finbury feat. Magos Herrera, Chano Domínguez, John Patitucci & Antonio Sánchez (Producer)
Composer John Finbury and producer Emilio D. Miler team up with some of the finest musicians in Latin Jazz, to offer a diverse, unorthodox blend of Spanish Flamenco, Bolero, Mexican, and Andean influences...oh, and a touch of New Orleans, too!
The theme of the album is how diversity makes us richer and togetherness makes us stronger, in an artful yet powerful response to those who seek divisions based on prejudice.
DRIVE (single), by Dan Lopz (Producer, Synth programming)
Colombia's young guitar ace Dan Lopz makes his big debut, joined by two of the musicians who made some of the albums his music is inspired on: Gregg and Matt Bissonette, on drums and bass, respectively.

Levanta Tu Voz / Increíble, by Dani Vasco (Producer, programming)
Dani Vasco is a singer-songwriter on a mission to instill peace and mutual respect in his listeners by pouring his heart into every performance. His high tenor range shines atop the busiest orchestration in "Levanta Tu Voz" (with electronics co-produced by Colombian Wonder Woman Ali Stone), and cuts through heavier guitars, keyboard textures and pounding drums (recorded by legendary session player Kenny Aronoff).
Based in Medellín (Colombia), Dani walks the walk, too, working to bring music and art education and performance into underprivileged neighborhoods in his hometown.

LO QUE SÍ, by Sonia Kovalivker (Drums/Percussion)
Sonia is a gifted pianist and unique vocalist. For this album, she decided to put the piano aside (well...most of the time!) and explore different genres and a vast expressive palette with the aid of master guitarist and producer Juanito El Cantor.
I practically came out of retirement as an instrumentalist to record this one, and I'm really happy with the results!

Every song on here is well written, short and sweet, gentle little classics in the making. This album is a powerpop/Americana/Britpop classic in my opinion, and is great music to chill out to! If you want to listen to some good, well written classy music whilst relaxing then this album is for you! Very enjoyable! - Barry Gennard - Glitzine Magazine (U.K.)

MONSTERS EP, by Baby Scream (Drums)
The band sounds like some kind of roots-pop, harmonical like taste of toffee. Sexsmith/McCartney/Patrick Park. Very relaxed, maybe too beautiful, well done. The songs are brushed with sweet-tempered melancholic kissing your ears. You can't deny the influence of the Beatles in "1983". What a pity, it is only a 6-Track Ep. It could be longer. (ICC ) - Glitter House (Germany)

AQUÍ LLEGA, by El Horreo (Drums/Percussion)
How innocent can a pop song be before it becomes perverse? Lullabies for serial killers, psychedelic pop for the masses, love songs for toxic relationships. I was young and needed the money.
