TONY WILLIAMIS LIFETIME FEATURING JOHN MCLAUGHLIN – LIVE IN
NEW YORK 1969
Stunning sounds from drummer Tony Williams – a rare live
date from the end of the 60s, and one that's even more freewheeling than the
performance on his classic Emergency album! The group here is the same as that
one – the famous trio with John McLaughlin on guitar and Larry Young on organ –
both players who could spiritual modes when they want, but who here are pretty
darn noisy at most moments – effortlessly blending rock into jazz, and helping
to create the sound of fusion in the process! Tracks are long, and completely
unbridled – and titles include "A Famous Blues", "Something
Spiritual", "Emergency", and "To Whom It May Concern".

GIL SCOTT-HERON / BRIAN JACKSON – MESSAGES
Some of the best tracks ever from the pair of Gil
Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson – some of most righteous, authoritative and
thematically heavy soul music ever created – compiled in one incredible set!
Messianic, emotive vocals from Gil and stunningly restrained, magical soul jazz
arrangements from Brian – words can't express how dynamic these tunes are!
Great stuff from classic LPs such as Winter In America, It's Your World, First
Minute Of A New Day, Secrets and more! 15 tracks in all: "The
Bottle", "It's Your World", "Johannesburg",
"Winter In America", "The Liberation (Red, Black & Green)",
"Home Is Where The Hatred Is (Live)", "We Almost Lost
Detroit", "Angel Dust", "Show Bizness", "Madison
Avenue", "Shut 'Em Down", "Alien (Hold On To Your
Dreams)". ~ Dusty Groove
JONATHAN FRITZEN - BALLADS
Over the past ten years, Smooth Jazz fans who like to get a
groove on with infectious keyboard melodies have enjoyed being
“Fritzenized," that is, having their hearts, souls and dancing shoes
infused with the Billboard and SmoothJazz.com Chart-topping recording artist’s
blend of lush ballads and all-out party jams. The multi-faceted, Swedish
American composer and keyboardist’s sixth album BALLADS showcases the gentle,
graceful side of his musical personality. On a mission to “bring calm, clarity
and the rejuvenation of both mind and soul,” to a challenged world, he
complements his gorgeous piano and keyboard melodies with artful touches of
electric guitar, exotic percussion, sweeping synth textures and special guest
violinist, Péter Ferencz (Peet Project). Fritzen’s original BALLADS will bring
peace to your days and love to your nights! ~ smoothjazz. com
