From soul to jazz, hip hop to traditional Maori.
OTIS TAYLOR ~ Otis Taylor's Contraband (CD)
Gifted American Blues musician Otis Taylor is a master craftsman who has created his own signature "trance blues" style by melding haunting guitar and banjo work, syncopated rhythms and a combination of gruff vocals, shouts and yells with raw passion.Otis Taylor's Contraband offers 14 compelling originals and is reunited with several longtime collaborators including the supple-toned Ron Miles on cornet, pedal steel guitarist Chuck Campbell (The Campbell Brothers), djembe player Fara Tolno, West Africa, fiddler Anne Harris, IL and the Sheryl Renee Choir. Bass is handled by Taylor's daughter Cassie and Todd Edmunds and rounding out the band are Jon Paul Johnson on guitar, Brian Juan on organ, and Larry Thompson.
VARIOUS - Cumbia Cumbia (2CD)
This 2CD set brings together thirty of the greatest recordings made by Columbia’s legendary record label Discos Fuentes between 1954 and 1988 Selected from thousands of singles it runs the gamut of Cumbia styles – from urban big bands, to sixties surf guitar combos and rural percussion-fuelled accordion madness. Legendary performers, classic performers, all propelled and pulsing with that genre defining rock-steady bass.
AMRIK - Casa de Amor (CD)
Featuring more of the guitarist's much-lauded nuevo flamenco sound. These are passionate and infectiously rhythmic tracks mixing jazz, Spanish melodies, and both traditional and contemporary flamenco styles of music.
AHMAD JAMAL - Blue Moon (CD)
82 year old piano maestro Ahmad Jamal just carries on getting better and better! And on Blue Moon he returns, in the main, to the arena in which he first made his name: singular interpretations of Broadway show tunes, songs from the movies, and jazz standards.
CHICK COREA - Further Explorations (CD)
Join master pianist Chick Corea as he leads original Evans alumni - bassist Eddie Gomez and the late drummer Paul Motian - on Further Explorations, a two-CD live set of 19 tracks.
