An unusual and adventurous tribute to Miles Davis, in all of his facets and periods.

"The New York Times recommended it as one of several releases in 1999 that adults would really enjoy and they are absolutely right. Ms. Wilson has taken Miles Davis' music and put her own stamp on it and the result is beautiful."-Elizabeth Hendry

"Damian Wilson and Adam Wakeman release their second full-length album The Sun Will Dance In Its Twilight Hour. The album, containing 10 brand new songs, features Damian on vocals and acoustic guitar and Adam on piano, vocals and acoustic guitar.
Guest musicians: Andy Dunlop (Travis) guitar, Ash Soan (Adele, Robbie Williams) drums, Tony Woollard (Damian Wilson) cello, Hayley Sanderson (Rick Wakeman) backing vocals.
Adam Wakeman is well-known as the keyboard (and sometimes guitar) player with...

“Gerald Wilson has been a fixture at the Monterey Jazz Festival in California since its inception, and has been commissioned to write works for that festival. On Monterey Moods, he presents a seven-part suite featuring different elements of jazz, all in modern big-band style, based on three notes signifying the evenly paced word "Mon-ter-ey." Each segment sings and swings in its own way, yet has similar characteristics, much as a cohesive fashion collection might.
Wilson, at 89 years young, has...

J. Frank Wilson had only one hit, but it was a huge one! With his band the Cavaliers, he brought Wayne Cochran's teen-death melodrama "Last Kiss" to the upper reaches of the American pop charts in the fall of 1964 — a million selling record subsequently covered successfully by Wednesday and Pearl Jam. During the fall of 1964, the charts were dominated by the British Invasion, particularly the Beatles, so it was quite a feat for Wilson & the Cavaliers to scale such great heights. Inevitably, such sudden...

"Four time Grammy nominee, multi instrumentalist and producer, Steven Wilson follows up on his acclaimed 'Hand.Cannot.Erase'.

Produced and mixed by Steven Wilson, '4 1/2' features a stellar group of musicians contributing to the LP including Adam Holzman (keyboards), Nick Beggs (bass), Guthrie Govan (guitar), Dave Kilminster (guitar), Marco Minnemann (drums), Chad Wackerman (drums), Craig Blundell (drums), and Theo Travis (reeds).

"Acclaimed for his work with Porcupine Tree, Opeth and Anja Garbarek amongst others, Steven Wilson's debut album Insurgentes has been a long time in the making. Comprising 10 new tracks that range from ballads and anthems to all-out industrial noise assaults, the dark, cinematic and richly textured album represents two years' worth of creative output and numerous recording sessions worldwide in studios from Mexico City to Japan and Israel. While Wilson is a member of several bands including Blackfield...

"Steven Wilson is allergic to expectation. The multitude of musical twists Hemel Hempstead’s favourite son’s career has taken have been matched in lockstep by eruptions of disgruntlement from fans taking umbrage at the fact he’s not made In Absentia for the 137th time.
The fulmination levels shot off the scale when Wilson sprang Personal Shopper on an unsuspecting public as a taster for his sixth solo album. Here was a pulsing, strangely sexy 10-minute hymn to modern consumer culture that sounded...

"2017 release from the British singer, songwriter, and musician. To The Bone is his expansive, brilliant fifth solo album. It is the follow up to 2015's Hand. Cannot. Erase. (one of Rolling Stone's best albums of 2015). A gloriously dynamic modernist pop record as imagined by the UK s biggest underground artist, To The Bone is Steven Wilson's hat-tip to the hugely ambitious progressive pop records of his youth (think Peter Gabriel's So, Talk Talk's Colour of Spring, Tears for Fears Seeds of Love)."

Last time ever on this release from the wonderful, now gone, Reel Recordings label.

First release in many moons by this great modern/current space music/electronic/ambient duo. Probably my favorite of the "low-fi" bands. They have a unique, extremely full sound that is like a storm cloud getting closer & closer. I saw them play once...

"Among slowly unravelling coils of oscillations and intermittent fragments of semi-formed loops, instruments both electronic and acoustic resonate gently against each other over an ever-evolving soundbed of textures. A meeting of minds and those exciting first sparks of inspiration soundtracked by celestial, otherworldly tones and free-flowing spoken word.
This was how Virginia Wing and XAM Duo spent two cold days at the start of January 2017. A weekend escape in the frozen industrial district of...

“Cecil Taylor was a powerful and unforgettable music force—a fearless visionary and one of the greatest musicians of the past century.

Each touched by Cecil’s magic in different ways, they perform...

"It’s rare that an album emerges as something entirely new; so different that there aren't any genre or sub-genre categories into which it comfortably fits.

For my money, despite her relatively small output, Norma Winstone is *the* voice of Brit-jazz, with her great work on early, seminal classics by Mike Westbrook, Michael Garrick, her own Edge of Time album from 1972 and then later on to her work with...

THE great female vocalist of Brit-jazz from the 60s until today!

"CD reissue. Norma Winstone is one of the most recognizable vocalists from the United Kingdom. During her nearly 50-year career, she has performed in many varieties of situations, from the improvisatory world of avant-garde to the classic tastefulness of the jazz songbook.
Recorded in 1997, Winstone's Manhattan In The Rain found her alongside some longtime companions, pianist Steve Gray (of Sky fame), bassist Chris Laurence and.

“The incredible relationship between legendary British musicians Norma Winstone and John Taylor has been admired for nearly five decades. The vocalist and pianist have been inextricably linked from their early avant-garde work from the late 1960s through their gorgeous work with Kenny Wheeler and Azymuth.
The couple was also well documented in duo performance...

“Steve Winwood's finest album - by far.
Great "live in the studio" sound, unbelievable Hammond organ playing (while playing bass lines with the foot pedals), soaring vocals and the band (Jose Neto - guitar and Wafredo Reyes - drums) is "on it" and having a ball. He's reached a new level...anyone with a love for Traffic should pick this up as it has that strong Traffic, jamming loose but tight vibe. And it's always great when that Leslie spins up in stereo washing that Hammond across the mix. Some...

"Very few deliberate live recordings of Wire exist from the '70s. Board recordings and bootlegs aside, only three full live sets were put to tape in the early years with any aim other than archival use. The first, Live At The Roxy, was recorded over...

"Released as an illegal bootleg back in the early 1980s, Not About To Die were recordings made for EMI as demos for the 1978 and 1979 albums Chairs Missing and 154. Now Wire have decided to redress the balance and give the album its first official release on their own Pinkflag imprint."

You get both the audio and the video of this performance. Good idea! "Praise be to Pink Flag for pushing the boat out on this one: film-maker Tom Gidley's record of Wire's Triptych Festival gig at Tramway was a big outlay, but one viewing of the goods ...

“Recorded live on May 16, 2009 at Shepherd's Bush, London. This is a fantastic live album from the legendary Wishbone Ash. They play all the classics and bring in a couple of guests such as former band members Mark Birch or Ben Granfelt. The DVD includes a 51-minute road movie covering Wishbone Ash's 40th Anniversary tour.”

"Coat Of Arms, while still heavily featuring Wishbone Ash’s characteristic twin lead guitar licks, haunting melodies and distinctive stylistic facets, is anything but retrospective, evenly balancing the past, present and future while still offering something fresh. The lead single, We Stand As One, is set to release on 10 January, with founding member, guitarist and vocalist Andy Powell describing it as “A real heavy rock anthem in the spirit of Wishbone Ash classics such as The Warrior, featuring...


“One of the band's unknown gems, this classic is a stylish, tightly focused effort. The songwriting muscle behind the album, guitarists Andy Powell and Roger Filgate along with bassist/vocalist Tony Kishman, delivered a set of tunes with airy arrangements and precise, melodic guitar work. Highlights include the sophisticated pop of "Top of the World", the progressive rock sweep of "Mountainside", and the wrenching blues guitar workout "Tales of the Wise". Powell and Filgate's styles mesh well together...

"For a band that quickly evolved into a radio-friendly prog-leaning outfit, it's a wonder that Wishbone Ash started out as the boogie and blues-based group that this debut reveals. If the term "jam band" existed in 1970, Wishbone Ash surely would have...

“Blending Latin American flutes, electronics, complex vocal lines with a touch of Frank Zappa lyricism and a radical punk aesthetic, the duo of Heidi Heidelberg and Mauricio Velasierra crafts a dramatically bizarre vocal music from another dimension! Intertwining dark/light, feminine/masculine, composed/improvised and punk/romantic, dreamlike improvisations are sampled, manipulated and reinvented through the lens of contemporary music and pop. You have never heard anything quite like Witch ’n’ Monk!”...

“Witchwood is back after their fantastic 2016 album Handfull of Stars with Before the winter and what a heavy prog ride it is. It starts with Anthem for a Child, first tones are set with dark synth tones only to explode with a great Hammond, guitar and flute riff and it sets the tone for the entire album. It has all the elements of classic heavy prog sound and it will speak to all who love bands like Atomic Rooster, Wishbone ash, Lucifer friend to Black Widow but with their own stamp. This album for me...
