"He is an icon of the Rock world: the legendary song writer, bassist, pianist and singer Jack Bruce. In 2006 at the 37th German Jazz Festival Frankfurt, he joined forces with the hr-Bigband to perform a highly acclaimed concert, presenting classic Cream songs and other landmarks of his career in gripping new arrangements. It was a magic moment of dialogue between Jazz and Rock that roamed between composition, improvisation and vibrant, virtuoso performances. The hr-Bigband is one of the most innovative...

“Lenny's master work in many ways, it must be noted that if you are new to Lenny Bruce this is his thesis work towards his PhD in Freestyle Social Commentary. By this show Mr. Bruce no longer does bits, he is all free form, and lays this show out like a brilliant jazz piece. In lieu of a Louis Armstrong or Kermit Ruffins delivernig tales of love, loss, trials and tribulations through beautifully combined notes from their trumpets, however, his music is the truth and his instrument is his style.

This is the third and fourth (and last) albums by this very fine, UK fusion ensemble. If these aren’t held in quite as high regard as the first two, well, that’s because the first two are essentially unbeatable, but these are still very good.
The Bruford Tapes is taken from a radio broadcast by the touring-band version of Bruford: Dave Stewart-keyboards, John Clark-guitar, Jeff Berlin-bass and Bill-drums. Spirited, live, edgy ("aproximate", says Dave Stewart) versions of tunes from the great 1st...

This release includes a CD of a new stereo remix, and a DVD with a new 5.1 surround sound mix along with the original 1979 mix, AND an outtake of Five G, all taken from the original 1979 analogue tapes.
Follow-up to the superb debut by Bill Bruford and featuring the same band: Bill-drums, Jeff Berlin-bass, and Dave Stewart. This is a slightly more conventional fusion album than Feels Good To Me, but it suffers not a bit for that, as this 1979 album is one of the best late-period straight-ahead fusion..

The second album from the band who call themselves "New York‘s Most Decorated Avant-Country Instrumental Merle Haggard Cover Band", and who am I to argue with that designation?

"...their debut, is satisfying as both a commentary on Mr. Haggard’s.

"Gavin Bryars' music, post "The Sinking of the Titanic" and "Jesus' Blood...", is well known and often performed today. Less known are the earlier works featured on this CD, created during the years 1969-71. At that time, Bryars became associated with...

This is a special limited edition of 2000 packaged in a special wallet + postcard. This version was recorded at the 49th International Festival of Contemporary Music at The Venice Biennale on 1st October 2005 at the Teatro Maliban.

“It sometimes seems there must have been some indefatigable taper who followed Tim Buckley anywhere and everywhere he performed during his all-too-short lifetime, recording his shows with the determination of the most obsessed Deadhead. Ever since the release of Dream Letter: Live in London 1968 in 1990, long-lost archival recordings of Buckley on-stage have been surfacing with remarkable frequency, and coming from a performer who jumped stylistic borders with the ease and elan of Buckley, it's not...

Includes five complete albums:
Tim Buckley (1966)
Goodbye And Hello (1967)
Blue Afternoon (1969)
Happy Sad (1969)
Lorca (1970)

“The folks at Manifesto have done an excellent job in keeping the music of Tim Buckley on the market over the past ten years, even going so far as to release three highly revealing new discs of live recordings. Nicely bookending Buckley's most productive years, The Dream Belongs to Me continued that streak. Split between two 1968 demo sessions and a similar tracking date from 1973, the music contained illustrates that quite a lot had happened to Buckley in the intervening years, both personally and...

Hopefully I don’t have to tell you that these folks are NOT really a band of 70s musicians who were revived from their cryogenic slumber in the 20s in order to rock you ‘Under The Sign Of The Lamprey” with their (admittedly very good) retro Rock Progressivo Italino ...

"The long-awaited collaborative release from legendary American minimalist composer and pianist Harold Budd and Milanese producer and experimental electronic composer Eraldo Bernocchi. Recorded during a magic night in the courtyard of a Renaissance palazzo in Siena, Italy, Music For 'Fragments From The Inside' melds Budd's light tonal wash and sparse keyboard treatments with the deep electronic rumbles of Bernocchi. An astonished piano player drifts on beats and scrapes, while bass and drones join...

"David Buddin’s “Canticles” CD is an electronic music realization of the instrumental parts for a six movement chamber work featuring soprano voice. The music is vigorous, dissonant, rhythmically complex and exhilarating. Influenced heavily by the thrust of the Western classical music tradition, Buddin is a modern musical maverick in the lineage of radical, iconoclastic American composers like Charles Ives, Carl Ruggles, Elliott Carter, Ralph Shapey and Milton Babbitt. The timbral character of this...

“When an artist takes an unexpected turn into new musical directions, it may cause stirring among fans. This is not the case of the increasingly global fanbase of progressive fusion maestro Dewa Budjana, who always come prepared to the perennial journeys through the world of their favored guitarist.
