In April 2016 the “Bill Evans Band “ toured Europe in support of his latest release “Rise Above” (May 26th, 2016). The band played to sold out venues across Europe. “Rise Above” is Bill’s most accessible release to date (2016). On this, his 24th solo offering, Evans explores rich and haunting vocals from special guest singers, including legend Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes, JJ Grey, Anders Osborne, Murali Coryell, and Josh Dion. “This recording has been an epic journey. My vision from the beginning was to record and write with some of my favorite singers and record a different song with each one of them. The goal was to still make a cohesive and solid performance out of all this music. It went far beyond my expectations. Sheer pleasure start to finish,” says Evans.

17 июня 2016 года вышел новый альбом Евгения Осина, музыканта с которого во многом и началась в России 90-х мода на «дворовую романтическую песню» 60-х - 70-х.

Guitarist and composer Dean Brown has always done things his way. Nowhere is that in greater evidence than on ROLAJAFUFU, his fifth album as a leader. The title is a playful acronym that encompasses rock-Latin-jazz-funk-fusion, the universes Brown explores on this diverse, kinetic recording. Brown’s fiercely independent streak is also exemplified by the fact that this album was funded by his denizens of fans worldwide via PledgeMusic. It’s Brown’s first self-released album, after four celebrated previous discs on the ESC label. He initially embarked on a successful solo career in 2001 after establishing himself as one of the most versatile, first-call virtuoso guitarists in the jazz, rock and funk worlds. Just a few of the global icons he’s worked with include Marcus Miller, The Brecker Brothers, Billy Cobham, David Sanborn, Bob James, George Duke, Roberta Flack, Lenny White, and Joe Zawinul.

Incognito registers its 17th studio CD, In Search of Better Days. Besides the familiar smooth funk beats and riffs, there are a few diversions of contemporary jazz ballads, break beats and jazz rock fusion. And there are plenty of vocalists in Incognito’s cast who bring the better in Better Days. Imaani’s creamy alto oozes a sweet aroma on “Love Born in Flames,” with its swooping backing vocals and precision brass section. The warm tones of Tony Momrelle wrap around “Love's Revival,” a song that beckons back to seventies’ Earth Wind & Fire. Vanessa Haynes pours her heart out on “Just Say Nothing,” another seventies knee-deep-in-funk jam anchored by the clavinet, and “Love Be The Messenger,” punctuated with marching snares by Joao Caetano.

Surreal is also the number of albums by the British Jazz/Funk/Soul band. The new album will be the 16th studio album by Incognito. Formed in 1980 and celebrating over 30 years of band history, the global phenomenon behind Mastermind Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick now returns with a fresh and unique sound. The new album includes 14 beautiful songs over a bed of fluid bass lines and irresistible drum grooves which reflect the energy of the band’s live shows. The first single “Goodbye To Yesterday” which will be released digitally on March 30th, features a new addition to Incognito’s line-up. German-born singer/songwriter Mo Brandis convinces with his warm and soulful voice. Also new to Incognito is the outstanding vocalist Natalie Williams, one of the most in-demand jazz vocalists in the UK.

STARGAZERYare a new melodic metal band from Finland. The band sounds very dynamic. The songs are filled with memorable hooks and riffs that you can really get into. The melodies are very catchy and engaging to the listener. I like the fact that they picked a song by BLACK SABBATH to cover that didn’t feature OZZY or DIO. I have always loved the Tony Martin era of BLACK SABBATH and they did a wonderful job covering “Headless Cross”. This is a solid heavy metal album.

Retro Active — перша збірка англійської групи Def Leppard, яка була випущена 5 жовтня 1993 року.

Heavy blues, indeed. Randy Bachman — leading a new group simply called Bachman isn’t soft selling his forthcoming album, advanced here by a raucous side featuring Peter Frampton.
“Heavy Blues” begins with an aggressively crunchy, “American Woman”-esque declamation before Bachman’s voice — as famous from his work with Bachman-Turner Overdrive as that guitar sound was with the great Guess Who hit — takes this song back toward more accustomed environs.

Looking On is the third album by The Move, released in the UK in December 1970. The LP is their first to feature Jeff Lynne, their first containing entirely original compositions, and the first on the Fly label, its catalogue number being FLY 1. It includes both their 1970 singles, the Top 10 hit "Brontosaurus," released on Regal Zonophone in March, and the less successful "When Alice Comes Back To The Farm," released on Fly in October.

Для оформления обложки альбомы была использована фотография певицы и фотомодели Аманды Лир, в то время - близкой подруги Брайана Ферри. Автором фотоснимка был Карл Стокер (англ. Karl Stoecker). На развороте оригинального винилового релиза все участники группы были сфотографированы в сценических костюмах, созданных для них Энтони Прайсом.
