ROCK NEW RELEASE - 09/09/2016 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree BS009CD BS009V 5060454943839 5060454943846 CD LP BAD SEED LTD BAD SEED LTD ROCK/ALTERNATIVE ROCK/ALTERNATIVE £7.99 £12.99 Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' sixteenth studio album, Skeleton Tree, will be released globally on vinyl, CD and across all digital platforms on 9th September 2016. This follows the Bad Seeds’ most critically and commercially successful release of recent times, Push the Sky Away (2013). The LP comes in a rigid sleeve with thick black lined board and includes a download card. Skeleton Tree began its journey in late 2014 at Retreat Studios, Brighton, with further sessions at La Frette Studios, France in autumn 2015. The album was mixed at AIR Studios, London in early 2016. The first opportunity anyone will have to hear any of the songs from the album will be to watch One More Time With Feeling, directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly). The film will screen in more than 650 cinemas across the world on 8th September 2016, immediately prior to the release of Skeleton Tree the following day. Filmed in black-and-white and colour, in both 3D and 2D, the film is stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness. ‘One More Time With Feeling’ trailer: https://youtu.be/svru1jNLIK8 Track listing to be announced Tuesday 16th August Advertising: Tube advertising and billboards in London Flyposting in London and around the UK Print ads in the Guardian and Mojo Large digital spend with site takeovers and pre-rolls and social ads.

During a year spent touring the world, Gang Of Four recorded two of the greatest of their shows. Available as a CD+DVD set or as a 2xLP black & white splattered coloured vinyl package , this is Gang of Four's first live release since 1984. The band filmed their sold-out show at New York’s Irving Plaza which will be available as a DVD. They also recorded their penultimate show of 2015, at London’s Islington Assembly Hall. This will be available as an audio CD and b&w splattered double coloured vinyl album. The DVD will be packaged with the CD format. The set list of each show brings together a catalogue spanning more than 35 years, from Entertainment!’s 'Damaged Goods' to 'Where The Nightingale Sings' from their current studio album, 'What Happens Next'. The only live Gang of Four record since 1984’s 'At the Palace', 'Live...In The Moment' captures the taught, punchy energy of Gang of Four live and at their very best. Sandwiched between Joy Division’s landmark album 'Unknown Pleasures' and Led Zepellin’s iconic IV, Gang of Four’s debut 'Entertainment!' sits at #8 on Pitchfork’s Top 100 of the 1970s. It is, says Pitchfork, “caustic and bursting with disgust for unethical capitalism, opportunist politicians and consumer society, among other things, but it’s also crafted with amazing pop sensibility -- and is, of course, remarkably danceable.” Mojo simply named it a “record that changed the world”. That same album was found on Kurt Cobain’s handwritten list of favourite albums. Echoing the singular importance of the band’s impact on music, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello told Rolling Stone in July 2014 that “there’s no one more influential on my guitar playing than Andy Gill.” Having been acknowledged as a massive influence by hundreds of artists including Bloc Party, R.E.M., The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Massive Attack, Nine Inch Nails, The Rapture, St. Vincent, Franz Ferdinand and LCD Soundsystem, Gang of Four’s legacy is assured but isn’t yet fixed.

The title track will be available as a download single from August 12th A talented songwriter and storyteller, a modern day troubadour, Dan Whitehouse was born in Wolverhampton and has spent a lifetime in Britain’s industrial heartland with a brief detour along the hippie trail when his parents decided to board the magic bus to Katmandu and San Francisco in the 1970s, and then to London as an eighteen year old, his prodigious talent making him a sought after guitarist. Tour Dates 2016: 02nd Sep - Moseley Folk Festival 03rd Sep - Stables, Wavendon 14th Sep - Henry Tudor House, Shrewsbury 28th Sep - Bicycle Shop, Norwich 30th Sep - Tythe Barn, St. Donats 01st Oct - Civic Hall, Ramsbottom 02nd Oct - The Yard, Alderley Edge 05th Oct - Kitchen Garden Cafe, Birmingham 06th Oct - The Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh 07th Oct - Red Road Cafe, Biggar 09th Oct - Green Note, London 13th Oct - The Old Stables, Swindon 14th Oct - The Folk House, Bristol For Dan the songwriting is key - his observational lyrics and imagined stories are soundtracked by an original take on modern folk /Americana - Black Country Soul if you will. Political stories of displacement and refuge (Close Up) and lyrics dealing with anxiety and mental health (CCC, Little Left Unsaid), sit beside more personal reflections and universal themes of family and love, loss and compassion (Work). Recorded at Reservoir Studios in London and Kyoti in Glasgow, the album was produced in the main by Chris Clarke (The Rockingbirds) and Danny George Wilson (Danny & The Champions of the World). It features the legendary pedal and lap steel player B.J.Cole and folk/trance singer Jess Morgan. Of his influences during the recording sessions, Dan says: ‘Around the time of recording specific tracks I was listening to a lot were ‘Precious Angel’ by Dylan, ‘Ry Cooder’s ‘How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live’, Hiss Golden Messenger ‘Saturday Song’ and The Deelines ‘Colfax Avenue’, great songs. The recordings were finished in March this year, Dan then headed out on tour with labelmates Eddi Reader and Kris Drever giving him a chance to showcase the new songs to appreciative audiences. No stranger to playing live Dan has shared stages with a host of inspiring artists including Mark Eitzel, Richard Thompson, Sun Kil Moon and Julian Cope. Dan is back on the road again later this year as Special Guest on Boo Hewerdine’s UK tour. Between recording and touring Dan works as a community musician using music and songwriting in a therapeutic way with vulnerable groups of people such as those with learning difficulties, acquired brain injury or disaffected young people in PRUs (pupil referral units).

One of the most infamous and notorious names in metal, Cradle Of Filth shock, excite, disgust and inspire in equal measures across 30 tracks of darkness & debauchery. First on the menu is the band’s ninth studio album from 2010, ‘Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa’. Described at the time by Cradle's infamous frontman Dani Filth as “without doubt the fastest and most brutal album we've created to date”, this is a relentless gothic horror themed slay-ride of fervour and perversion. Yet amidst the orchestral melodrama and lush, cinematic production, there sits stalwart a ravening beast of furious riffing, flesh ripping vocals and monstrous, unstoppable percussion. Originally released as a companion piece to ‘Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa’, the ‘Evermore Darkly’ release features new tracks, reworkings and rarities, including the exclusive track ‘Thank Your Lucky Scars’, plus a special remix of album track ‘Forgive Me Father’, courtesy of Rob C from Anthrax. Also featured are tempered demo versions of ‘Darkly, Darkly...’ songs, along with a choice cut from the band's orchestral project which eventually manifested as 'Midnight in the Labyrinth', in the form of a haunting, classic reworking of fan-favourite, ‘Summer Dying Fast’. Closing the circle of this trilogy is the band’s 2012 opus ‘The Manticore and Other Horrors’. This, Cradle of Filth’s tenth studio full-length, can be likened to a bestiary, a collection of stories on Monsters; personal demons, Chimeras, literary fiends and world-enslaving entities. The album itself possesses an altogether new atmosphere for the band, incorporating a heavier, faster NWOBBM punk vibe that is both current and cruel, blended with ornate orchestration and the quirky immediateness of 2000's acclaimed ‘Midian’ opus. Grammy nominated Cradle Of Filth have been pioneers of extreme music since their debut in 1994 and have continued to evolve with each of their subsequent releases. Unafraid of ruffling a few feathers, the band have continually refused to bow to convention or to conform to prevalent trends and fads. Yet despite this uncompromising stance the band are still the most successful British heavy metal band since Iron Maiden, with legions of fans around the globe.

Following the release of the critically-acclaimed 'Fear of a Blank Planet' album and the success of their 2007 North American tour, Porcupine Tree released 'Nil Recurring'. The mini-album (29 minutes of music) was written during the 'Fear Of A Blank Planet' sessions, completed over the Summer of 2007, and is presented as a cohesive, selfcontained Porcupine Tree work in its own right. The title track features Robert Fripp on lead guitar, and the album moves through the full Porcupine Tree spectrum of atmospheric ambience, melodic hooks, and crushing riffs. The band began as a solo studio project created by Steven Wilson in the late eighties. It’s a multi grammy nominated act and one of the world's most revered live bands, selling out arenas across the globe and wowing fans with their incredible performances and are regarded as one of the most impressive experimental/ progressive/ psychedelic rock bands to emerge from the UK since their inception in 1991, having enjoyed a successful recording career spanning over 15 years. Steven Wilson is currently enjoying global chart success with his fourth solo album 'Hand. Cannot. Erase.' and is continuing to tour worldwide. 'Nil Recurring is a worthy addition to the Tree catalogue' - Metal Hammer 'this mini-CD should be seen as an isolated piece of art that slots nicely in amongst a collection of consistent quality' - 9/10 Terrorizer "post-prog pearls of modern intelligent, rock-propelled pop....very tasty indeed" - Classic Rock Tracks: Nil Recurring / Normal / Cheating The Polygraph / What Happens Now?

The Gurvitzs had enjoyed fame with The Gun and the single ‘Race With The Devil’, a UK Top Ten hit in 1968. However, The Gun was disbanded and Three Man Army’s debut album was released in 1971 on the now defunct Pegasus label. A fourth album was recorded but not released. The brothers joined up with Ginger Baker to form Baker Gurvitz Army, whilst Newman joined David Bowie’s band. In 1982 Adrian Gurvitz had a UK Top Ten hit with ‘Classic’. This package contains the single ‘Schoolgirl Queen’. Digitally remastered, slipcased and with new notes Tracks: My Yiddishe Mama / Hold On / Come On Down To Earth / Take Me Down From The Mountain / Woman / Mahesha / Take A Look At The Light / Can’t Leave The Summer – Part I & II / The Trip / Polecat Woman / Today / Flying / Space Is The Place / Irving / I Can’t Make The Blind See / Burning Angel / In My Eyes / Schoolgirl Queen Agitation Free - Last, Fragments & Live ’74 MIG01662 0885513016621 CD3+DVD MIG MUSIC £17.49 ROCK When the band Agitation Free came together in 1967 as a result of the merging of two Berlin rock groups, one of the most interesting groups in a dawning independent German music scene was created. With their improvisations between rock, jazz and new music, Agitation Free – soon relegated to the not so flattering category of "Krautrock" – made musical forays into areas that few of their fellow German musicians had ever penetrated. At a time when most in Germany were still orienting themselves as closely as possible to AngloAmerican musical formats, Agitation Free found a completely new and very original form of musical expression. Starting with their debut album Malesch, Agitation Free delivered a fascinating sound, influenced not least by the manifold impressions from a Near East tour. The band moved toward a form of meta-music, a weaving of exotic-sounding compositions. The albums has been justly regarded as a milestone in the genre, especially abroad. Looking back, it's evident that the Agitation Free was one of the most important bands of the experimental circle known as the "Berlin School", and a career springboard for a whole slew of musicians. At the same time, this policy of changing personnel also meant risking that the band couldn't keep itself together over the long run. CD 1: Someone's Secret / Mickey's Laugh / We Are Man / Mediterranean Flight / Crashending / Agitation Free At Work (Quicktime Movie) CD 2: Through The Moods / First Communication / Dialogue & Random / Laila / In The Silence Of The Morning Sunrise / Big Fuzz CD 3: Soundpool / Laila II / Looping IV / Schwingspule DVD: You Play For Us Today / Sahara City / In The Silence Of The Morning Sun / Shibuya Nights / First Communication / Dialogue & Random / Ala Tul / Laila / Nomads / A Quit Walk / Das Kleine Uhrwerk / Malesch / Drifting / Rücksturz / In Da Jungl / Interstellar Overdrive Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: [email protected] ROCK NEW RELEASE - 09/09/2016 The Dear Hunter – Act V: Hymns With The Devil In Confessional RDR124 8054521840210 CD RUDE RECORDS £7.49 ROCK The release of ‘Act V’ marks the long-awaited continuation of the band’s album concept series chronicling the story of a boy at the turn of the century, only referred to as ‘The Dear Hunter’, and is the main project of multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter Case Crescenzo. From the beginning, it was a high-concept project: Casey mapped out multi-page treatments for a six album story arc about the birth, life, and abrupt death of a boy, set at the dawn of the 20th century. Act I: The Lake south, The River North, Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading, Act III: Life and Death and the fourth installment Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise were released between 2006 and 2015. Crescenzo temporarily stepped away from the series to work on the critically acclaimed 2.5 hour, 9 EP, 36-track collection: The Colour Spectrum, his latest studio album Migrant, and his own personal symphony Amour & Attrition. The Dear Hunter has now completed a new chapter of the story after the highly anticipated Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise. Act V is produced entirely by Crescenzo and written in the same time frame of its predecessor. ‘Act IV’ has over 4.5 million Spotify streams to date, with the record peaking at #6 in Billboard’s Alternative Chart & #37 Billboard’s Top 200 Chart “This is how progressive music in 2015 should sound” – Rock Sound “May well be the years most melodically ambitious release; earworm after glorious earworm” – Kerrang!

Real Gone Music is proud to present the first vinyl reissue of this classic metal album, in limited edition (of 600 copies) sporting red-and-yellow "flame" marbled vinyl. Unlike, say, Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin, songwriter Kevin Heybourne's lyrical imagery just doesn't dabble in the occult, it lives (dies?) there, with abundant sword and sorcery themes and tales (e.g. "Angel of Death") of damnation. Yet, as on the title track, the band is not above crafting some catchy hooks, though the raw production ensures that those hooks have barbs. Tracks: Angel Witch / Atlantis / White Witch / Confused / Sorcerers / Gorgon / Sweet Danger / Free Man / Angel of Death / Devil’s Tower X-Ray Spex – Germfree Adolescents (Shocking Pink Vinyl) RYGM4004841PMI 848064004844 LP REAL GONE MUSIC £15.99 ROCK Real Gone Music is proud to present Germfree Adolescents, one of the signature albums of the early (1978) British punk movement, in the format (vinyl!) and color (shocking pink!) it belongs. Limited edition of 900! The one and only LP release from X-Ray Spex and its irrepressible frontwoman Poly Styrene has been deemed by everybody from Greil Marcus to Robert Christgau to Spin to Mojo as one of the greatest punk albums ever made, yet, somehow, this is its first vinyl reissue (and you can tell because prices for the used vinyl are insane)! And we've done it right; besides the colored vinyl, we've reproduced the inner lyric sheet, where you can read Poly's brilliant observations about the plastic, corporate nature of modern society. All of which she sings in a passionate yowl all her own (with Lora Logic among others backing on saxophone); this is not only one of the most penetratingly observant punk records, it's also one of the most passionate, and, surprisingly enough, catchy.

The album is all the more poignant because it represents the final recordings by John Renbourn (who achieved worldwide fame with Pentangle), the final tracks made just days before his death on 26 March 2015. At the time of John's death, 'Joint Control' was almost entirely finished. The pair had been working together since the start of the year in a small studio near John's Hawick home. Alongside the sheer artistry of their playing you can't but escape the warmth of the camaraderie permeating these performances. Most of the songs are drawn from a repertoire honed through their touring together since 2012. The only original composition is Wizz's instrumental "Balham Moon". Also includes classic renditions of three Bert Jansch songs. Many of the songs date back to that extraordinary period of the 1960s when Wizz and John first met, reflecting the ideas and techniques that were shared by all the young British pickers and the influences which neither Wizz nor John would have hesitated to acknowledge - Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Josh White and Davy Graham. As much as 'Joint Control' is steeped in the celebrated history that its two participants shared, these genuinely historic recordings also sound utterly fresh and contemporary. John and Wizz had only rarely appeared on record together in the past. John produced (and played a little) on Wizz's 1972 album 'Right Now', as well as on 2011's 'Lucky the Man' so we can be particularly thankful that these recordings were made. As Peter Paphides (whio writes the liner notes) concludes: "Joint Control is a fitting testament to two musicians who never forgot the spirit of joy and exploration which made them pick up their instruments in the first place; two fires of more than fifty years standing. We're very fortunate that they managed to capture it in time." The album is released to coincide with a special John Renbourn Tribute concert on 22nd September at Cecil Sharp House, London.

He'd be the first to tell you that. Abney originally made his name as a rowdy side man, playing guitar, pedal steel, keys and drums for a number of other acts. Thanks to years of extensive touring, both solo and as a gun-for-hire, Abney is possessed of some impressive instrumental stage chops. But lately, it's lyricism where he finds his inspiration, with encouragement from a host of Oklahoma songwriters in close proximity. Few songwriters can weave so seamlessly in and out of genre that listeners are left wondering if they indeed heard what they thought they heard. And if they listen again, they're likely to hear something else. Abney's songs can be both frenetic and meditative, deeply affectionate and mired in loneliness, and, like Abney himself, both road-weary and ready for adventure. John had the opportunity to work with some wonderful musicians from Tulsa and Nashville, including Megan Palmer on harmony and fiddle, Paddy Ryan on drums, Aaron Boehler on bass, and Cody Clinton on electric guitar. This record is the culmination of John's writing during the post-phase of his previuos album, Better Luck and his journeys that lead him across the states and sea, incorporating the last year of experience into what became FC&CC.

Tour Dates 2016: Labelled as “one of the most precociously talented vocalists of his generation”, Stewart's acknowledgement of both standards and popular music is greatly referenced in his choice of material, both in his live and recorded work and no more so than in this upcoming release. 06th Sep - The Hippodrome Casino, London The 12-track album includes new takes on timeless songs, ranging from Jackie Wilson (The 09th Sep - 235 Casino, Manchester October dates tbc Sweetest Feeling) to Dusty Springfield (The Look Of Love), and from up-tempo interpretation on Etta James (I Just Want To Make Love to you), to the opening track, a sweeping orchestral mambo through a Stevie Wonder favorite (Part Time Lover). Blending with these cornerstones in popular musical legacy, are four original compositions by Stewart, (including a co-write with long time collaborator, Alex Webb) showcasing a huge development of Alexander, as both artist and now songwriter. Add to all this, a total reimagining of a Sinatra classic as the albums centerpiece (brought forward to the 21st century with a bold, new, orchestral score), ‘I Thought About You’ is a richly textured, contemporary record, with a modern, emotive approach to songs you know and love, delivered with conviction by Stewart.

"There is nothing that I have found that defines and gives credence to my place in this wild and mysterious universe than this thing called music." The album is a bold statement that builds upon the entire breadth of Harris' already esteemed reputation, demonstrating his enormous versatility within the full scope of his highly creative musical vision. Swinging jazz, rich R&B, sumptuous balladry, wailing rock, rumbling blues and even a touch of playful Brazilian are all woven seamlessly into the tapestry of a musical odyssey that is all Allan Harris. With a deeply resonant baritone/tenor voice that is soulful, richly expressive and flawless in both intonation and phrasing, Harris displays a total command and fluency in every context. Back from the previous album are the GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Brian Bacchus (Gregory Porter, Norah Jones) and Harris' longtime keyboard cohort Pascal Le Boeuf (on acoustic and electric pianos, and Hammond B3 organ), whose deep understanding and empathy for Harris' music creates a marvelous sense of intimacy and shared joy of expression. The delightful repertoire includes four Harris originals, a couple of American Songbook gems, a pair of jazz classics, and re-imaginations of hit songs from Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan and Spiral Staircase. As he does with every lyric, Harris pays proper homage to those who have provided the inspiration for his own highly personal sound, specifically here to Ray Charles, Nat 'King' Cole and Eddie Jefferson on three individual items. The four Harris originals aptly demonstrate that he is as skilled a composer as a vocalist - and his lyrics are moving, heartfelt and poetic. The album opener "Mother's Love (Nobody's Gonna Love You)" begins on a poignant, emotive and dramatic note before morphing into a vibrantly swinging excursion. Appearing at London Jazz Festival for an entire week in 2016.

High-spirited and volatile they were full of joy, drive and pep; a fun group in the days when jazz could be good-time and thought worthwhile. And they were more than that, being (as the first groovy tracks confirm) creative and fairly adventurous. Peter Tanner wrote up an interview with Teddy Bunn in the Melody Maker of 29th December 1973 in which the guitarist spoke-of his appreciation of some of the then-modern rock groups. "It's just rhythm-and-blues as we used to call it. It ain't changed that much, not to me anyway. If the Spirits of Rhythm was playing today that's what we'd be doing. We was ahead of our time and didn't know it."

Having worked for a number of years with Scottish band Brass Jaw, as well as releasing his own album Laphroaig-ian Slip, Quigley's experience shines through in this new set of originals which suggests the passion of early '60s hard-bop and early '70s fusion, yet is up to date in forwardthinking appeal. Here is music born out of strong compositional melody which, in turn, sparks honest improvisational freedom. And while it features the leader's assured, incisive trumpet, the sense of group coequality remains blissfully evident throughout this near hour long session. The swinging 'Doctor Stage' couldn't be more infectious, Paul Booth's effervescent tenor imaginings leaping off one of Quigley's memorable, Freddie Hubbard-style unison riffs ahead of the trumpeter's own, soaring improvisations. Slowly shifting 'Fire Eyes' shimmers broadly to Steve Hamilton's piano and Clarence Penn's soft-malleted percussion – a towering landscape of romantic horn textures embellished by distant, stadium-fanfare trumpet. This release - bookended by lyrical, echoic solo trumpet - finds Ryan Quigley delighting in the opportunity of working with good friends who share his innate desire for musical integrity, and whom he also counts amongst his musical heroes. "My hope is that this recording captures something of that ambition, and that listeners can feel its warmth, depth of feeling… and friendship" .

This scene aptly describes López-Nussa's experiences of traveling throughout the world, yet always finding his way back to his hometown of Havana, Cuba. This journey of body and spirit has led simultaneously to a musical exploration where he visits various genres and ideas while staying true to his foundational roots. The release of López-Nussa's music stateside is a significant postscript to President Obama's trip to Havana in March 2016. The conservatory-trained pianist is the first Cuba-based musician (he has dual citizenship in both Cuba and France) to release an album internationally since the lifting of many of the restrictions associated with the longstanding trade embargo. States Mack Avenue Records President Denny Stilwell, "Harold follows in the modern day tradition of exemplary Cuban pianists who have recorded and toured internationally. We feel he is an emerging artist with immense creative potential to break through." 'El Viaje' features The Harold López-Nussa Trio with younger brother Ruy Adrián López-Nussa on drums and percussion; and from Senegal, Alune Wade on bass and vocals. This trio is augmented on certain tracks with guests including his father Ruy Francisco López-Nussa on drums, Mayquel González on trumpet and flugelhorn, and Dreiser Durruthy and Adel González on percussion. Tracks: Me Voy Pá Cuba / Africa / Feria / Lobo's Cha / Bacalao Con Pan / El Viaje / Mozambique En Mi B / D’ Una Fábula / Inspiracion En Connecticut / Oriente / Improv (Me Voy Pá Cuba) Ben Wendel - What We Bring 234244 885150342442 CD £7.99 MOTEMA JAZZ GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist and co-leader of the breakout band, Kneebody, Ben Wendel has enjoyed a varied career as a performer, composer and producer. His YouTube video series, 'The Seasons', was named one of the New York Times Best Albums of 2015. 'What We Bring' touches on the inspiration that musicians absorb throughout their lives, with each piece dedicated to a key influence. With his career on a steady rise, Ben Wendel steps into the spotlight with 'What We Bring', his Motema debut. The album is dedicated to masters from the past, peers from the present and musicians of the future (John Coltrane, Austin Peralta, Ahmad Jamal, Wye Oak). Wendel has played with artists such as Ignacio Berroa, Tigran Hamasyan, Antonio Sanchez, Gerald Clayton, Eric Harland, Taylor Eigsti, Snoop Dogg and Prince. A rising composer, he received an ASCAP Jazz Composer Award in 2003 and has toured extensively, including international festivals such as Jazz à la Villette, North Sea Jazz Festival, EFG London Jazz Festival and Newport Jazz Festival.

With established colleagues Chris Montague (electric guitar) and Jon Scott (drums/electronics), plus vocal contributions from Emilia Mårtensson and Ed Begley, Simmons layers-up haunting electronic and acoustic soundscapes which reflect the remoteness and sometimes curious histories and characters associated with these far-flung, isolated spaces. Monocled Man's ethos of through-composition and open improvisation is carried over from their debut release on Whirlwind, Southern Drawl – but here, a distinctive new dimension is introduced, emanating from Simmons' predetermined, home-studio-produced sonic environments. Cinematic beds of sound, carefully crafted with modular synths, sequencers and chopped audio, are all fashioned into an expansive framework which provides a springboard for individual artistry. Chris Montague's characteristically oblique guitar style and Jon Scott's hardhitting, sparky drumming – both of which are unwaveringly inventive – join with Simmons' plaintive trumpet in generating these appropriately drifting, searching panoramas. But, far away from ambient lifelessness, this is a creative band whose energy also frequently crackles with filmic urgency as pulsating, electronic textures erupt into industrial, post-prog fervor. Known widely for his contribution to the UK and international jazz scenes, Rory Simmons' approach to Monocled Man expresses the broader palette of music which currently inspires him; and We Drift Meridian embraces conceptual cohesiveness through textures and lyrics which evoke mystery, solitude and even desperation. As Simmons confirms: "These are instrumental and electronic explorations which have a meaning and, in context, hang together musically - it's an exciting, natural progression of the band." Tracks: Tromelin / We Drift Meridian / Marie-Betsy / Deception Island (feat Ed Begley) / Mount Cerberus / Fiction Afloat / Queen Tirza / Scott Moorman Adrift / Erebus / Mount Terror Philip Clemo - Dream Maps ACACDS003 5024545754421 CD £7.99 ALL COLOURS ARTS JAZZ Described as "quietly mesmerising" (The Times) and "startlingly original" (The Observer), Philip Clemo's unique, multi-layered soundworlds balance on a cusp where many different polarities meet - the figurative and the abstract; the acoustic and the electronic; the traditional and the avant-garde; the composed and the improvised. 'Dream Maps', Clemo's sixth album, is a series of journeys or maps where each piece explores a different space. The shape of these spaces was developed through a process of composition and extended improvisation over a period of three years with contributions from 21 musicians including Arve Henriksen, Byron Wallen and Evi Vine.

It sees the French saxophonist/clarinettist Michel Portal, alongside WDR Bigband and the American pianist Richie Beirach. Michel Portals extended improvisations with Beirach were recorded for this CD on March 5th 2016 during a concert in the Theater Gütersloh and mark the first time these musicians ever played together. They are further proof of the universality of the musical language of jazz and the fascinating and infectious vitality of improvisation. "I love to play in front of an audience", Portal said. "It is like a metamorphosis. I feel bad, if I haven’t played live for two weeks.” The multi-instrumentalist from Bayonne, who had turned eighty just a few days before the interview, is a master of various clarinets and saxophones as well as the bandoneon, and is also recognised as a skilled composer. His wit and wisdom, and the youthful energy and curiosity he brings to his astonishing improvisations are only some of the reasons Portal has enjoyed such a fruitful and enduring career. It has seen him perform with John Surman, Pierre Favre, Dave Liebman, Martial Solal, Jack DeJohnette and many others. Tracks: Esquisse Part 1 / Esquisse Part 2 / Esquisse Part 3 / Bailador / Dolce / Interview with Michel Portal Dominic J. Marshall - The Triolithic CR73429 608917342925 CD £7.99 CHALLENGE RECORDS JAZZ UK pianist/composer/producer Dominic J. Marshall strikes gold again with his album ‘The Triolithic’, fusing cutting-edge jazz with hip hop and electronica. His albums ‘Spirit Speech’ and ‘Icaros’, as well as his cassette only release ‘Cave Art’ (Paxico Records) have been critically acclaimed and have led to him touring with the Cinematic Orchestra. "You can hear, not only in his playing, but also in his composing, little bits of Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, right up there to Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau. You can hear his classical influences - the tricksy mathematical compositions of Bach for example. But he's also definitely inspired by the rhythms and offbeat textures of hip-hop producers like J Dilla. He brings together a great heritage of the past, but also something very fresh and new, all the within the confines of a simple acoustic piano trio.” -Jamie Cullum Tracks: Devadatta (Intro) / Leaves' Dance / White Nights / Free Palestine / Elephant Man / Ptah's Vibration / 80 Campbell Road / Windermere / Family Chronicle / Deku Tree / Fictions / Blue Lotus Joris Posthumus Group - Tokyo's Bad Boys CR73416 608917341621 CD CHALLENGE RECORDS £7.99 JAZZ ‘Tokyo's Bad Boys’ is the second album by Dutch saxophonist Joris Posthumus on Challenge Records. It was inspired by musical encounters he had with Japanese jazz artists when he travelled to Asia to tour and record. The whole album is packed with speed, technical bravura, emotions and surprises. He met the band on a festival in 2011 while touring through China with the Dutch band State of Monc. The line-up is the classic jazz trio of piano/drums/bass with three saxophones. All songs written by Joris (expect track 6, by Jacob Bedaux), and as always melody is key. Personnel: Joris Posthumus (alto and soprano saxophone), Yuichiro Tokuda (alto saxophone), Yuki Nakae (tenor saxophone), Shunichi Yanagi (piano), Satoshi Tokuda (bass), Gaku Hasegawa (drums) Tracks: Tokyo's Bad Boys / Jamming in the Jungle / Mr. Amano / One Eyed Felix / Mazerunner / Torture of the Wakening / Sad Song / Jacob's Blues / Jorogumo Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: [email protected] JAZZ NEW RELEASE - 09/09/2016 Stephan Plecher Trio & Bert Joris – Jungfernballett TCB35102 725095351027 CD £7.99 TCB MUSIC JAZZ The debut album of the Stephan Plecher Trio, Plecher (born 1990) is regarded as one of the best up-and-coming talents in jazz in Germany/Austria/Switzerland. Featuring the Belgian jazz veteran Bert Joris on trumpet/flugelhorn. “Stephan Plecher already combines those virtues that mark a good Jazz musician: Imagination, courage, sound awareness and a joyful dance within and around the rhythmic pulse.

That year, Ellington was hired by the Reprise label as an A&R man, free to sign any artist he wanted and to record them. His first choice was Babs, who, in Ellington's words, was "the most unique artist I know…She sings opera, she sings lieder, she sings what we call jazz and blues, she sings like an instrument, she even yodels, and she can read any and all of it!" The result of this meeting of legendary musical minds was a sublime cool jazz masterpiece that, sadly, never received a proper release in the U.S. and appears to be the only Ellington album never to be reissued on CD or even digitally, having eluded even the most comprehensive compilers. Needless to say, original copies go for big Swedish krona online, and not just because it's rare; Babs' wordless vocals and scat singing on "The Boy in My Dreams," "Strange Visitor," and "Babsie" are positively Ella-worthy, and Ellington's masterful arrangements—at times filigreed with a French horn section—provide the perfect accompaniment. We've added liner notes by Scott Yanow, while the album boasts remastering by Aaron Kannowski. Fascinating for any jazz fan—essential for Ellington enthusiasts!

It confirms Ronnie Earl’s status as one of the most soulful blues/soul/jazz guitarists working today. Earl is a three-time Blues Award winner as Guitarist Of The Year working with his band of over 25 years. “This album is dedicated to my big brother David Maxwell. We were born on the same day ten years apart. His playing was a deep as the ocean, as high as the sky and as bright as a quasar. When he passed I felt a huge loss as I still do. David was a Broadcaster and he and I made a few records together. It was always a supreme honor to play with him. He played blues as well as jazz with incredible expression from Otis Spann to Cecil Taylor. He knew and loved it all. He became Otis Spann in the later years. Our pianist David Limina wrote a tune that captures the feeling of the album and we all send our love and respect to David’s family and all of our love and gratitude for David Maxwell.” "I feel the respect and affection for him that a father feels for his son. He is one of the most serious blues guitarists you can find today. He makes me proud." - B. B. King "He has released some twenty albums - but Ronnie Earl can still take your breath away."

Klaus Schulze about “X“ Richard Wagner could also have been part of these musical biographies on "X". Wagner is particularly close to me because for me he was the first to create a synthesis of the arts. For instance he demanded for a composition a separate theatre where the orchestra could disappear in the pit. Therein I see an analogy to the synthesizer. Here the actual instrument is also disappearing behind a few buttons – you're hearing very much but you don't see much. But Wagner was a far too tremendous topic because then I would have had to make "X" a triple album. For this reason I had chosen only authors – except Friedemann Bach – who had influenced me very much. Frank Herbert's novel Dune almost was a bible for me at that time! Bavarian king Ludwig II was, of course, no author but his life is a novel itself. "X" also was film music – Barracuda – I had the budget so I could afford an orchestra. However, it was really difficult to master the orchestral score. I can actually write notes – I once took also classical guitar lessons – but to write such a score is a different kind of thing. All that music I could have played within a day but on the score I worked for four weeks long. Cellist Wolfgang Tiepold was a big help since I wasn't that experienced just to say a violin can really play what I had written in the score. In the middle section of "Ludwig II." We had to make a tape loop for those repetitions. The loop reached out across the studio and the kitchen, and then we looped it. Because the musicians dropped their violins when trying to play this passage live for 15 minutes. The tape loop of course was – typical for my compositions! – 20 meters long, haha. The bonus track "Objet d'Louis" is a live verson of "Ludwig II." using a complete orchestra. I did that in 1978 because I wanted to hear how this track sounds live on stage with an orchestra. I was on tour and also performed "Ludwig", and in Belgium there was an opportunity to perform the song in that style. A radio station wanted to broadcast the concert live. So I asked if we can do that with an orchestra. Then Tiepold rehearsed it a little bit with the orchestra, and in the evening we played it and it was broadcasted live. Now you can hear it again on the CD.

Innovative, original and occasionally spiritual, Shindell's songs weave tales that interchangeably champion the downtrodden, exalt the disaffected or wax empathetic to those lost to society's fringes. From his first record, Sparrow's Point (1992) to the most recent solo album Not Far Now (2009), Shindell has demonstrated a penchant for songwriting at once passionate and profound. His songs are often slowly and painstakingly crafted until honed to perfection. Conversely, he is also capable of writing tunes that are simply clever and amusing. Shindell's songwriting is truly eclectic, ranging from lighthearted ballads and adulterous love songs, to dirges and diatribes that skillfully skewer politics, prejudice, war and religion. He has a unique ability to morph into the soul of the many and varied personalities he casts as narrators in certain songs--songs that are veritable novellas framed in haunting acoustic melodies, sometimes including cryptic, revelations through the eyes of a woman. Following a release with Lucy Kaplansky as the Pinehill Project, 2016 marks the release of a brand new album: Careless which features all the good things we know from Richard with a stellar cast of musicians including Jerry Marotta, Scott Petitito, David Spinozza, Larry Camplbell, Victor Krauss and Lucy Kaplansky. Tracks: Stray Cow Blues / Careless / Infrared / The Deer On The Parkway / All Wide Open / Your Guitar / Abbie / Atlas Choking / Before You Go / Satellites / The Dome AMERICANA NEW RELEASE - 02/09/2016 Tim Easton - American Fork ATH196612 769498674963 CD £7.99 AT THE HELM RECORDS AMERICANA Tim Easton’s new album, American Fork, is a playfully radical call to action for all listeners to abandon apathy. The first track, Right Before Your Own Eyes, contains more melodic twists and turns than any previous recording by Easton, as well as the first saxophone hook on any of his records. The album continues on to elaborate arrangements with sing-a-long choruses, penetrating lyrics, and the finest backing band any Nashville songwriter could want, including the drummer Jon Radford (Justin Townes Earle, Steelism), bassist Michael Rinne (Rodney Crowell), pedal steel wizard Russ Pahl (Ray Lamontagne, John Hiatt), and multi-instrumentalist Robbie Crowell (Deertick, Turbo Fruits). *Digital download distributed by Proper* What the ears have here is a live band kicking it on the studio floor with Easton singing along, playing mostly electric guitar this time, recorded at the spacious and moody Club Roar with Patrick Damphier producing. The songwriter elaborated on his intentions: “I am a fan of the change-up pitch. My aim is to prod a fork in the somewhat predictable Americana format.” Track 2, Killing Time, is an open letter to all armchair non-conformists to stand up and be counted, with female backing vocals reminiscent of a Leonard Cohen production. Song 3 is Elmore James, a swampy dedication to the bluesman who could shake a whole room with one groove. Americana indeed, with no edge lines.

Sure, the hits—27 of 'em in all and every Top Ten solo smash—are here, but what elevates this collection above a mere best-of are the tracks lifted from Wagoner's starkly compelling concept albums (complete with their amazing album art, some of which we've included here) like Confessions of a Broken Man, Soul of a Convict and Other Great Prison Songs, and The Bottom of the Bottle. Grammy-winning writer Colin Escott contributes notes to the package, which is newly remastered by Vic Anesini at Battery Studios in New York. Country music never got harder than this…this ain't cry-in-your-beer country, t's more like punch-in-the-gut poetry.

This 36-track collection contains all of the highlights from his prime recording years at the Columbia label, including singles, album tracks, and performances drawn from movie soundtrack and Broadway cast albums. Flawlessly remastered by Maria Triana at Battery Studios in New York, and annotated by Goulet aficionado Joe Marchese with rare pictures and album art drawn from the Columbia vaults, this truly is the best-sounding, best-looking, and, yes, definitive collection that Robert Goulet fans have been waiting for.

With co-frontmen Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman providing heavenly harmonies, infectious sonic craft and effervescent humour, the Turtles were a ubiquitous presence on Top 40 radio for much of the '60s, while earning their counterculture credentials with such adventurous LPs as the Ray Daviesproduced Turtle Soup and the wildly eclectic The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands, on which they impersonated a different fictional act on each track. This two-CD All the Singles collects the A and B sides of every original 1965-1970 Turtles 45, with the tracks presented in the same mono or stereo mixes that were heard on the original singles. All the Singles also features several tracks that were prepared for singles release but not issued at the time. After the Turtles disbanded at the end of the decade, Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman maintained their partnership, serving a five-album stint as members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention before releasing several albums as Flo and Eddie.

Each of the band's first three albums — It Ain't Me Babe, You Baby and Happy Together — is presented in its original mono and stereo mixes, while each of the remaining three — The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands, Turtle Soup and Wooden Head — provide a generous assortment of rare bonus tracks, including some previously unreleased material. Both sets (this and a 2CD complilation) have been meticulously researched and prepared from the original master tapes by renowned engineer Bill Inglot, and both contain detailed liner notes by noted writer and archivist Andrew Sandoval. The resulting packages offer a unique insight into one of rock's most misunderstood bands. The Turtles, Mark Volman points out, were "making records that made it to the radio, but were still challenging and adventurous records. Experimental, but at the same time full of commerciality. The Turtles were really walking on a fine edge. We were only two years out of high school and we were making some pretty challenging music."

After having transformed in 1973 from a threeman vocal group to a self-contained six-man band, The Isleys cranked out hit after hit. They decided to follow in the footsteps of The Commodores, Parliament, and Earth Wind & Fire to record a live album. Rather than bring a mobile truck to a concert venue, however, The Isley Brothers chose to cut Groove with You…Live! at Bearsville Sound Studio in Woodstock, New York. The resulting recordings had all of the incendiary thrills of a live performance, but with pristine studio fidelity. The band overdubbed an audience's frenzied reception and the energetic introduction of MC "Gorgeous" George Odell to create an in-studio live album as captivating as the real thing. It was presented to CBS for release on the band's T-Neck imprint, but the label opted to wait for an original studio record. Groove with You…Live! was shelved. Fast forward to 2015, and the Bearsville sessions were remixed, sans crowd ambiance, for inclusion as one disc of a massive Isleys CD box set. Later that year, Groove with You…Live! was restored and released in its originally-intended "live" version on limited edition vinyl. Now, this sizzling, swooning and immersive double-album document of The Isleys at the peak of their powers comes to CD for the very first time as The Isley Brothers originally intended it! Featuring classic hits like "Take Me to the Next Phase," "Summer Breeze," and "Livin' n the Life," Groove with You…Live! has been remastered by Mark Wilder and Chris Le Monde. Tracks: Introduction / That Lady / Here We Go Again / Don’t Say Goodnight (It’s Time for Love) / Don’t Say Goodnight (It’s Time for Love) the Love of You / Take Me to the Next Phase / Fight the Power / Groove with You / Summer Breeze / Say You Will / Voyage to Atlantis / It’s a Disco Night (Rock Don’t Stop) / Band Introductions / Livin’ in the Life/Go for Your Guns / Outro The Meters - A Message From The Meters RLGM4004912PMI 848064004912 CD2 REAL GONE MUSIC £18.99 SOUL/R&B This 40-track set presents the A and B-side of every single that organist Art Neville, guitarist Leo Nocentelli, bassist George Porter, Jr., and drummer Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste cut for the Josie, Reprise & Warner Bros. label, virtually their entire singles output save for a few odds 'n' ends issued mostly overseas. That means that you not only get every hit along with its hard-to-find B-side but also the rare single mixes, including the especially rare original mono single mixes of the 1968-1971 Josie sides, very few of which have appeared on CD (the first CD is all mono; the second, featuring the later Reprise and Warner Bros. singles, presents all stereo single mixes). These songs represent the mother lode of New Orleans funk, all but two tracks co-produced by the late, legendary Allen Toussaint. And, with liner notes by Bill Dahl featuring quotes from Nocentelli, Neville, and Porter, this 2-CD set offers probably the best retrospective to date of this enormously influential band.

However, like so many other '60s superstars, Dionne fell prey to the changing tastes of the '70s marketplace and exited the label five years later sans her production team or any major chart hits. Subsequent anthologies have, understandably, focused on the Scepter label hits she recorded with Bacharach and David during the '60s and the more contemporary smashes she recorded for Arista during the in the late '70s and '80s, while roundly ignoring her Warner Bros. sides. Now, with this 2-CD set containing Warwick's complete Warner Bros. singles and previously unreleased tracks recorded for the label, Real Gone Music is at last shining a light on a body of work that, despite its lack of commercial prowess, ranks as some of the finest this pop-soul diva's nonpareil career has to offer. The rarities package, meanwhile, presents 19 tracks that never came out on LP or as singles, and present Warwick working with such legendary producers as Ashford & Simpson, Thom Bell, Jerry Ragavoy and Holland-Dozier-Holland.

Nicknamed Perdo 'Sorongo' after the rhythm he invented, which features throughout 'Krishnanda'. A highly spiritual man who was regarded as a philosopher by many. He worked with greats including Baden Powell, Elis Regina, Maria Bethany, Elza Soares, Sebastião Tapajós, Roberto Ribeiro, Milton Nascimento, Clara Nunes, Paul Simon and Arthur Verocai, playing on his legendary self-titled LP. In the same vein as Verocai and his self-titled LP, 'Krishnanda' was Pedro's chance to shine with his own, and only, solo recording. Krishnanda was produced by Hélcio Milito, the drummer of Tamba Trio, and arranged by conductor Joppa Lins, and originally released in 1968 on CBS (Brasil). Musically, the album touches folk, samba, afro-brazilian and psychedelia plus added effects, with a lyrical depth and diversity to match; themes including morality, perception, existence and ego. Despite the genius of the record and the influence that it had on musicians at the time of release, it disappeared into obscurity. Mr Bongo first discovered the record around 2003, through their friend Julio Dui. Around that time Brazilian funk and bossa was the flavour of the day, so didn't catch our ear immediately, however it continued improve with age and now they consider it to be one of the best albums ever made, regardless of genre or origin.

This album – titled ‘The Deer’s Cry’ after its opening track, an incantatory work for a cappella mixed choir – is also the latest in a long, illustrious line of ECM New Series releases to feature Pärt’s compositions, the very music that inspired Manfred Eicher to establish the New Series imprint in 1984. Along with such classic works as Da Pacem Domine, the new album includes first-time recordings of the a cappella pieces Drei Hirtenkinder aus Fátima and Habitare Fratres. There is also an a cappella version of Alleluia-Tropus, which Vox Clamantis previously recorded alongside instruments for the Grammy Award-winning ECM New Series album ‘Adam’s Lament’. Rarely recorded material makes up nearly half of this release, which includes three pieces with subtle instrumental accompaniment: Von Angesicht zu Angesicht, Sei gelobt, du Baum and Veni Creator.

This collection of music from the Eton Choirbook, the vast collection of English sacred music from the early Renaissance, is the fourth in an acclaimed series by Stephen Darlington and The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford which has proved to be a thrilling encounter with the remarkable world of the liturgy of Eton College Chapel in the late 15th century. This sumptuous volume includes two first recordings: John Browne's second setting of the Salve Regina, and William Horwood's Gaude flore virginali. This music was firmly rooted in the daily devotional life of the College, appreciated by all and not just a worshipping élite. The boys and men of Christ Church Cathedral choir maintain this tradition with a special affinity for this glorious repertoire and deliver performances of unreserved commitment.

Fortunately, that situation has changed over the last twenty years or so. This CD from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam contains piano works from the period 1920-1931, an extremely fruitful period during which Schulhoff gave vent to his fascination for the new jazz and dance music without entirely losing sight of classical tradition. He was a brilliant pianist himself, making frequent appearances in the concert hall and later in radio studios, renowned for his immaculate technique, fabulous memory and prowess as an improviser. The combination of classical foundations and more decorative jazz elements in Schulhoff's music suits Daahoud Salim Alvarez down to the ground, as he studied both classical and jazz piano at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Schulhoff constantly faced the dilemma of respecting traditions while at the same time being keen to distance himself from them. This is illustrated, for instance, by his Concerto for piano and chamber orchestra - February 1923.

Yet, he has long had an abiding love for Mozart and conducts his symphonic and operatic music on a regular basis. Issued to coincide with his 80th birthday year, this 2CD set includes all the Decca recordings of Mozart’s music made by Mehta, of which the three symphonies receive their first release on CD. ‘The finale [of Symphony No. 34] is impressive in its crispness of articulation with the tarantella triplets sharply enunciated’ - Gramophone, March 1977 ‘Zubin Mehta’s balanced and musicianly performance of Mozart’s great G minor Symphony has many good points […] The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra plays splendidly for him and is given a mellow but well detailed recording’ - Gramophone, May 1978 Tracks: CD 1 – Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart: Le Nozze Di Figaro, KV 492: Overture Symphony No. 34 In C Major, KV 338* Symphony No. 39 In E Flat Major, KV 543* CD 2 - Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart: Symphony No. 40 In G Minor, KV 550 Serenade In G Major, KV 525 ‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik’ Le Nozze Di Figaro, KV 492: Voi Che Sapete Mass In C Minor, KV 427 ‘Gro 946;e Messe’: Laudamus Te (Gloria) Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: [email protected] CLASSICAL NEW RELEASE - 09/09/2016 Sir Georg Solti, LPO, LSO, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra - Haydn: Sym Nos. 100, 102, 103.

The 1949 recording of Haydn’s ‘Drum Roll’ Symphony and the 1958 recording of Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik (recorded in spatial early stereo) make their first international appearances on Decca CD. Solti re-recorded the three Haydn symphonies heard here, again with the London Philharmonic, adding the remaining ‘London’ Symphonies, between 1981 and 1991 in stereo. Likewise, he rerecorded the Mozart ‘Prague’ in 1981 as part of a set of the composer’s four last symphonies, with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The fiery, passionate account of the G minor, KV 183, and the stereo Eine kleine Nachtmusik are his only recording of these works.

In 1978 and 1979 Richard Hickox made two LPs for Argo of (mainly) choral music by Gerald Finzi. Never issued in their entirety, they appear here complete on a 2CD set filled out with a further L’Oiseau-Lyre LP of music for a cappella chorus and choir with organ, recorded by Garrett O’Brien and his Exultate Singers in London’s Southwark Cathedral in 1979. This 2CD set presents two versions – choir/orchestra and choir/organ – of two of Finzi’s most substantial single-movement choral works: the Festival anthem Lo, the full, final sacrifice and the Magnificat. ‘Philip Langridge … very good in Dies Natalis … is a most intelligent singer… Langridge and Richard Hickox have an excellent rapport that carries the music along most convincingly’ - (For St. Cecilia, Dies Natalis – Hickox) Gramophone, May 1979 ‘Richard Hickox, his singers and players are excellent 146; (In Terra Pax, Introit, Lo the full, final sacrifice, Magnificat – Hickox) Gramophone, December 1979 ‘The Exultate Singers are an admirable group of 16 voices, with firm tone and excellent chording.

The LPO recording was among Solti’s earliest Decca recording sessions and was issued, first on 78rpm and immediately after on LP using Decca’s then revolutionary FFRR technology. Fêted by the Victor Talking Machine Company in the early decades of the twentieth century, Mischa Elman was a considerable presence in the recording world in those years. The arrival of Jascha Heifetz in 1917 had a considerable impact on violin recordings in general, and public interest in Elman flagged. Victor was Elman’s company for more than 40 years, but in 1954 he decided to move to Decca for whom he recorded several concertos (something relatively absent from his Victor repertoire). For his recording of the Beethoven concerto he was paired with the young Solti, who allowed him due elasticity and freedom of interpretation. While there’s no pretending that by 1955 when the recording was made Elman was past his prime, it remains a fascinating account – a meeting of two very different minds, with dynamic extremes on Solti’s part and an instinctive nineteenthcentury leaning towards portamento on Elman’s. ‘the flute tone is noticeably sweet […] Tonally and technically this is a wide-ranging record’ (Symphony No. 4) Gramophone, May 1951 ‘many good qualities, and the recording is excellent’ - (Violin Concerto) Gramophone, November 1955 Tracks: Ludwig Van Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 In B Flat Major, Op. 60 Violin Concerto In D Major, Op. 61 Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: [email protected] CLASSICAL NEW RELEASE - 09/09/2016 Gordon Fergus-Thompson - Bach Transcriptions £6.50 ELQ4824899 0028948248995 CD AUSTRALIAN ELOQUENCE CLASSICAL Few composers have had their music rearranged with such variety and a high degree of success as Johann Sebastian Bach. Mozart, Elgar and Webern, Mendelsohn, Brahms and Vaughan Williams and countless others, not to mention jazz musicians such as Jacques Loussier, Dave Brubeck, the Swingle Singers and even the rock band Procul Harum all rearranged his music. This gem of a disc, originally released on ASV, presents more than a dozen of Bach’s pieces rearranged for the piano, from the familiar (Myra Hess’s arrangement of Jesu, joy of man’s desiring) to the quirky (Lord Berners’ arrangement of In dulci jubilo) and from the sonorously imposing (the famous Chaconne from the Second Partita in the Busoni arrangement) to the vertiginous (Busoni again, with ‘Nun freut euch, lieben Christen’). Most of the composerarrangers on this recording were themselves professional concert pianists and, in most cases, believed that their function was not to assert their own musical personalities on top of, or alongside, Bach’s so much as to try to recreate, as well as possible, what Bach might have written had he been alive at the time when the transcriptions were made. ‘the simple and relatively literal transcriptions of ‘Jesu joy’ (Cantata No. 147), the flute Siciliano and ‘Sheep may safely graze’ [are] all played with calm grace … and at the other extreme of the art of transcription, Rachmaninov’s very free version of movements from the E major Violin Partita … in which Fergus-Thompson shows delicious delicacy.’ - Gramophone, October 1991 ***** Amazon.com reviews Tracks: Ferruccio Busoni: Chaconne (from Partita No. 2 In D Minor For Solo Violin, BWV 1004) Chorale Prelude ‘Wachet Auf, Ruft Uris Die Stimme’ Chorale Prelude ‘Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland’ Chorale Prelude ‘Nun Freut Euch, Lieben Christen’ Chorale Prelude ‘lch Ruf Zu Dir, Herr’ Franz Liszt: Prelude And Fugue In A Minor, BWV 543 Lord Berners: In Dulci Jubilo Dame Myra Hess: Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring Wilhelm Kempff: Siciliano (from Flute Sonata No. 2 In E Flat Major, BWV 1031) Christopher Le Fleming: Sheep May Safely Graze Sergei Rachmaninov: Suite From Partita No. 3 In E Major For Solo Violin, BWV 1006 Ferruccio Busoni: 15 Toccata And Fugue In D Minor, BWV 565 Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: [email protected] CLASSICAL NEW RELEASE - 09/09/2016 Georg Kulenkampff, Georg Solti – Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms: Violin Sonatas ELQ4806582 0028948065820 CD2 AUSTRALIAN ELOQUENCE £9.25 CLASSICAL Georg Solti’s first recordings were as a pianist – those with the great German violinist Georg Kulenkampff, here collected in their entirety. The two artists recorded Brahms’s G major sonata in February 1947 and Beethoven’s ’Kreutzer’ Sonata in June 1947. They completed the Brahms sonatas in July 1948. Sadly, this would be their only collaboration. Kulenkampff died on 4 October 1948, after a brief illness. He was only 50. In these recordings with Kulenkampff, Solti’s exceptional abilities as a listener, his accomplishments as a repetiteur and his instinct as a soloist combine in perfect harmony. He is discreet but never excessively deferential in accompanimental passages, and bold but never obtrusive when the piano assumes a soloistic or quasi-orchestral prominence, especially in the Brahms sonatas and Beethoven’s ‘Kreutzer’. These recordings were made in the days when it was still standard practice to favour the violin acoustically, perpetuating the invidious idea of the pianist as mere ‘accompanist’. Yet through the very quality of his tone and impeccable judgement of his rhythm, Solti redresses the balance despite being somewhat ‘recessed’ by the recording team. ‘This recording reveals what a magnificent technique [Solti] possessed … his playing is pretty good, and often remarkable for his very sparing use of the pedal […] [Kulenkampff’s playing] of the slow movement is exquisitely expressive.’ - (Beethoven) Gramophone, February 1964 ‘The great virtues of Kulenkampff were his sweet lyrical tone and his exquisite phrasing … this is glorious playing [Brahms Op. 78] by both artists. The last page of the slow movement is really tremendous, and touched with inspiration’ - (Brahms) Gramophone, May 1965 Tracks: CD 1: Wolgang Amedeus Mozart: Sonata For Piano And Violin In B Flat Major, KV 454 Ludwig Van Beethoven: Sonata For Violin And Piano No. 9 In A Major, Op. 47 ‘Kreutzer’ CD 2: Johannes Brahms: Sonata For Violin And Piano No. 1 In G Major, Op. 78 Sonata For Violin And Piano No. 2 In A Major, Op. 100 Sonata For Violin And Piano No. 3 In D Minor, Op. 108 Order from Proper Music Distribution : Telephone: 0870 444 0805 Fax: 0208 6765169 e-mail: [email protected] CLASSICAL NEW RELEASE - 09/09/2016 Cesare Siepi with A Erede, G Gavazzeni. E Kleiber J Krips - The Voice Of Cesare Siepi £6.50 ELQ4820113 0028948201136 CD AUSTRALIAN ELOQUENCE CLASSICAL In the 1950s and much of the 60s, the great bass roles in the Italian repertoire, and the title part in Don Giovanni, were synonymous with the name of Cesare Siepi. Gifted with a commanding presence on stage and a firm, sonorous, pliant basso cantante – a true successor to the mantle of Pinza and Pasero, his great Italian forebears – he was in demand in all the major houses of the world. At the same time Decca used him regularly for complete recordings of opera; he was a renowned interpreter of Verdi. Many of these arias come from a recital he committed to disc in 1954, when his voice was at its sappy best. In 1957 he was the natural choice for the implacable Alvise in La Gioconda, here telling his unfaithful wife that she is about to die for her adultery. He was also inevitable casting for the 1958 recording of Boito’s Mefistofele, whose two solos are given with relish and a spirit of negation just right for the incarnation of the devil so sharply caught in Boito’s writing. ‘resonantly sung’ - (Don Carlo, Nabucco & Ernani arias) Gramophone, April 1955 ‘anyone in doubt still of the artistic progress of the present singer might well begin by hearing the grand, not to say majestic, fashion in which he handles both the minor section and flowers out into the consoling major theme [of the Boccanegra aria]. It is Verdi most nobly done.

These composers aspire to write music which is expressive human, perceptive, free, and this disc boasts some of their most fascinating chamber music. Eurico Carrapatoso is one of the most popular living Portuguese composers owing to the wisdom and clarity of his writing, the subtlety of his orchestration, and the poetic and lyrical qualities of his music. His piano quartet Espelho da alma ("Mirror of the Soul"), composed in 2009 for Ensemble Darcos, comprises seven short pieces based on traditional Portuguese melodies, brilliantly encapsulating different types of Portuguese folk music. Sérgio Azevedo shows some stylistic affinities with recent composers such as Magnus Lindberg and the late Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Yet his music is the result of a synthesis of modernity and tradition, marrying constructive rigour with clarity of perception. V mlhách…1912 ("In the mists…1912") refers to a 1912 piano piece by Janácek called In the mists. Azevedo begins with three short fragments from the Janácek, and through reorganization and metamorphosis, constructs a new work of profound beauty. The work of Nuno Côrte-Real is characterised by melodic lyricism, energetic rhythmic writing, and transparent harmony. Lembras-te, meu amor, das tardes outonais..., for piano quartet (2014) is inspired by a poem, Elegia do amor, by the Portuguese poet Teixeira de Pascoaes. The intricate first section evokes the poem's nostalgic atmosphere; the central section is a long, hypnotic passage, and the finale makes use of rhythmic and motivic play between the strings and the piano. The young Daniel Davis has proved himself one of the most notable composers of the younger generation. His music concentrates on resonance, the exploration of atmospheres, and shows a refined timbral sensitivity. Viagens, for piano quartet, was composed in 2013 for Ensemble Darcos. The imaginative and varied writing oscillates between Stravinskyan rhythmic vigour and lyrical, contemplative landscapes. Tracks: Eurico Carrapatoso: Espelho Da Alma - I.

Their cultural backgrounds and personalities are as distinct as the contrasting colouristic palettes of their instruments; the saxophone itself straddles the worlds of classical and jazz. Yet this CD represents a fusion of all these apparently conflicting elements, highlighting music's power to unify cultures, timbres and genres. Florent Schmitt's Légende is at the heart of this disc and their formation as a duo. Its continuous motion, rising from moments of profound calm to ebullient overflowing crests, suggests "vagues" - waves, inspiring their choice of name. Schmitt's Légende spans lyricism and impetuosity, the saxophone's long-breathed, virtuosic flourishes occasionally slipping into the smoky world of jazz, while the piano's rich harmonies anticipate Messiaen. Jolivet's Fantaisie-Impromptu reflects his immersion in both atonality and jazz, its sinuous saxophone line and enigmatic, tonally-ambiguous piano gestures juxtaposed with jaunty, jazzy material reminiscent of Gershwin. Milhaud, a master of comic irony, takes us on a witty adventure to South America in Scaramouche - the piece with which Andrea Mocci made his professional debut, in the prestigious Sala Verdi in Milan, in 2011. In common with Milhaud's piece, Françaix's 5 Danses Exotiques, dedicated to Marcel Mule (who premiered Schmitt's Légende) embrace Latin American styles. Creston's debonair, vivacious Sonata is a piece which Duo Vagues has been playing for years, yet which always yields something new. Hindemith famously wrote sonatas for almost every orchestral instrument, although the Sonata recorded on this disc began life as a piece for alto horn. The saxophonist is called upon to read a poem by Hindemith during the piece, after which the two instruments are engaged in fascinating dialogue, and it is this sense of dialogue, between saxophone and piano, between different styles, and between the musicians themselves, that is so integral to this debut disc from Duo Vagues.

'A Land So Luminous' showcases the exceptional talent of these two British composers, and is performed by the conductor Philip Headlam with The Continuum Ensemble and an outstanding array of soloists. "Kenneth Hesketh composes music of delicate luminosity" - Fiona Maddocks, The Guardian "Causton is among our most imaginative composers" - Paul Driver, The Sunday Times Kenneth Hesketh (b. 1968) and Richard Causton (b. 1971) are among the foremost U.K. composers of their generation. 'A Land So Luminous' features their works for large ensemble, duo and trio as well as solo flute, cello and piano. A strikingly diverse and atmospheric collection, the music draws imaginative inspiration from a rich range of sources including Heinrich Hoffman's nineteenth-century cautionary tales for children, Shock-Headed Peter, a poem by Marina Tsvetayeva, shamanic ritual, Fats Waller, as well as Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, K. 622. Conductor Philip Headlam, long-time champion of these composers, sees 'A Land So Luminous' as an opportunity for Hesketh and Causton to gain recognition from audiences across the U.K. and beyond, and illustrate their outstanding creativity and craftsmanship. Containing music never previously recorded, the acclaimed Continuum Ensemble is joined by a stellar line-up soloists: violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen ('fearless intensity' - The Guardian), soprano Mary Bevan ('bewitching' - The Independent), flautist Lisa Nelsen ('a flautist and a half' - The Times), cellist Joseph Spooner ('tremendous musicianship' - Fanfare) and Douglas Finch ('a true virtuoso' - The Independent). The Continuum Ensemble, led by co-artistic directors pianist/composer Douglas Finch and conductor Philip Headlam, is dedicated to performing new and neglected music from the 20th and 21st centuries in order to enrich audiences' knowledge and enjoyment of modern music. The ensemble has earned consistent praise for performances in concerts and operas, at festivals and for radio and television broadcasts as well as CD recordings including numerous world and U.K premieres.

Highlights from the history of interpretation, including concertos and solo works by Bach, Scarlatti, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Ravel. Features appearances by such contemporaries as Igor Markevitch, Ernest Ansermet, Alceo Galliera and Géza Anda. According to the conductor Gustave Doret, Haskil was "one of those extraordinarily gifted individuals whose very being is filled with music, who has that wonderful instinct for musical expression that can be achieved neither by hard work nor by effort of will alone". These 10 original albums with bonus tracks dating from 1934 to 1960 constitute a fine documentation of the highly cultivated and sensitive playing of an exceptional pianist. Her legendary reputation as an interpreter of Mozart is in keeping with the large proportion of excellent Mozart recordings. Further highlights in the history of interpretation, here taken from the violin repertoire, are the Beethoven sonatas that Haskil and Arthur Grumiaux recorded (a selection). Concertos as well as solo works by Bach, Scarlatti, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Ravel can also be heard, and taking part are several of her great contemporaries, such as Igor Markevitch, Ernest Ansermet, Alceo Galliera, Géza Anda among others.
