Fast drei Jahre vergingen, in denen man sich fragen konnte: Was macht er wohl, dieser verträumte Typ mit den dunklen Locken und der dreckigen Stimme, der in seinen Songs mal traurig, mal sehnsuchtsvoll, manchmal auch ein wenig gequält klingt, wie einer, der gerade verlassen wurde? Und jetzt, endlich, ist es da: „Reframing“, das zweite Album von L‘aupaire, auf dem er sich häutet wie eine Zwiebel und uns erzählt, wie es ihm ergangen ist in der Zwischenzeit. Die Kurzversion lautet: L‘aupaire, inzwischen 30 und Vater einer Tochter, ist erwachsen geworden. Die Langversion? Ist sehr viel spannender. ‚Reframing‘, das bedeutet Umgestaltung, „aus etwas Schlechtem etwas Gutes machen“.

Go Go Berlin hat sich den Ruf als eine der fleißigsten Live-Bands mehr als wohlverdient: In den ersten Jahren seiner Karriere war das niederländische Rock-Ensemble fast ununterbrochen auf Tour, spielte Konzerte und Festivals in den USA, Asien und weiten Teilen Europas. Dieser intensive musikalische Streifzug zahlte sich aus – Fans weltweit fiebern heute den Auftritten von Go Go Berlin entgegen und auch die ersten beiden Alben haben international große Anerkennung gefunden.

Doppelter Festakt im Hause Freedom Call: Die Band um Sänger/Gitarrist Chris Bay feiert in diesem Sommer nicht nur ihr 20-jähriges Jubiläum, sondern am 23. August 2019 auch die Veröffentlichung ihres zehnten Studioalbums mit dem vielversprechenden Titel M.E.T.A.L. Seit ihrem 1999er Debüt Stairway To Fairyland steht die süddeutsche Formation für hymnischen Melodic Metal mit eingängigen Melodien und rasanten Grooves, für stimmungsvolle Botschaften mit optimistischen Texten. All dieses und noch viel mehr findet man nun auch auf M.E.T.A.L., einem uneingeschränkt überzeugenden Werk mit außergewöhnlichem Titel, den man laut Bay durchaus augenzwinkernd verstehen darf. Denn jeder weiß, dass wir nicht unbedingt ultraderben Death Metal spielen. Unsere Musik darf ebenso wie der Albumname gerne polarisieren, was seit seiner Ankündigung auf Facebook auch bereits lebhaft passiert.

Soulsville scion Vaneese Thomas * to her southern roots for an album of impeccably produced songs of tender mercy, tragic heartache, and joyous celebration. She once again gathered together a group of good friends and collaborators to record the basic tracks of Down Yonder at Peaceful Waters Studios in New York with her longtime partner Wayne Warnecke. Thomas recruited the late show rhythm section of Saturday Night Live drummer Shawn Pelton and former Dave Letterman Show bassist Will Lee to deliver the steady grooves, along with guitarist Al Orlo and Robbie Kondor on keys.

Modern jazz exploring sophisticated and wide-ranging compositions in a classic quartet format that exhibits sensitivity, deep swing and a wealth of different styles and grooves from hard-driving neo-bop, to sweeping ballads, odd-meter blues and more.

Die Attribute, derer man sich bedient, um Helene Fischer zu beschreiben, sind ausschließlich Superlative. Und so ist es kaum verwunderlich, dass die Ausnahmekünstlerin nicht nur eine der erfolgreichsten Live-Künstlerinnen der Welt ist, sondern darüber hinaus nach wie vor absoluter Publikumsliebling, Erfolgsgarantin, Chartstürmerin- und Rekordhalterin. Egal, was Helene Fischer anpackt, sie verwandelt es zu Gold und fügt so ihrer einzigartigen Karriere ein Erfolgskapitel nach dem anderen hinzu.

In the late seventies, 5 young friends formed the band in the middle of magnificent panoramas in the city of Borello. The first line-up of the band featured Cecilio LUCIANO (drums, vocals), Giovanni DI NUNZIO (guitar, sax, vocals), Mario ROSATO (Keyboards), Bruno DI NUNZIO (bass) and Luca LUCIANO (vocals, guitar). They started to work on a rock opera entitled "La Bestia Umana". Unfortunately, the band split up in the 80's. It's only in 2011 that the band reunited with a new line-up and guest musicians. The album was completed in 2016 with music containing the vintage atmosphere of the 70's Italian bands.

This early effort by tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson was produced by Betty Carter. On the well-rounded set, Jackson (who shows the influence of Joe Henderson in his tone and style) performs five jazz standards, including "Love Walked In" and "Sweet and Lovely," and three inventive hard bop originals. He holds his own with altoist Kenny Garrett on two selections, welcomes Dianne Reeves to "I Waited for You" (where she takes a warm ballad vocal), and matches well with pianist Jacky Terrasson and two rhythm sections. A fine effort that stands out from the typical Young Lions output of the era.

Why The Persuasions were never able to generate much action while on commercial labels is a mystery. They made fine albums for A&M and Capitol, but just couldn't get any hits. While it was true that '70s tastes were geared more toward funk, "sweet" soul, and vocal groups with elaborate arrangements and production, there still should have been room for The Persuasions' classic harmonizing. At any rate, this was one of a couple of fine albums they made in the early '70s for Capitol. It's long out of print, and probably won't be reissued any time soon, if ever.

When Peggy Lee became well-known in the 1940s, swing and jazz-influenced pop dominated the musical landscape. In the 1960s, however, it was a whole new world in popular music. The British Invasion and Motown – not big bands – were mainstream, and to the Baby Boomer youths of the 1960s, Lee was part of "our parents' music." But the singer had a major hit with 1969's Is That All There Is?, one of the best-selling albums of her career. While this isn't a rock album per se Lee's foundation was still jazz-influenced pop it acknowledges pop-rock tastes of the 1960s without being unfaithful to her history.

Since day one, these psychedelic Chicagoans have proven themselves to be a young band with limitless potential and lasting appeal. Building on the success of their 2016 self-titled EP, Dead Feathers have continued to cultivate a growing fanbase across the world, largely through ambitious tours and guest support slots with the likes of Kikagaku Moyo, Radio Moscow and Monster Magnet.

‘Gentle Persuaders’ is the Love Love debut from London based neo-noise-jazz outfit Sly & The Family Drone. In the form of a four track long player, Sly vomit forth a smooth serving of curious and clattering noise not devoid of fun.
