The Czech-born composer Anton Reicha (1770–1836) was an exact contemporary of Beethoven – and his close friend from their mid-teens. The music of each man shows an awareness of what the other was doing: they showed each other their compositions-in-progress. But although Reicha was closely associated with one of the best-known names in western culture, his own music has been grievously neglected: only his woodwind quintets have achieved any currency. Of his vast cycle of almost forty string quartets just one has been recorded before – an omission this ambitious project intends to put right, thereby revealing one of the most inventive and engaging spirits in classical music.

Итальянец, чей голос способен смешать мелодраму с песенкой из Сан-Ремо, нравится всем. В Германии, стране, которая открыла его в 1996-ом году, он постоянно присутствует в хит-парадах. В США он предмет культа: в нем есть нечто человеческое или слишком человеческое, что примиряет домохозяйку с системой “звезд”, от Стивена Спилберга и Кевина Костнера до жены вице-президента. Президент Билл Клинтон, “Билл-саксофон”, который знает наизусть музыку к фильму “Канзас-сити”, декларирует себя в числе поклонников Бочелли

In February 2014, Advance released their long-awaited debut album, Deus Ex Machina on Manchester-based independent label AnalogueTrash Records.

Avishai Cohen is prolific in music and words, a creative volcano who finds his raison d'être melting with the heart of his wooden instrument. This much-anticipated album with all new original compositions and a beautiful historical one, "Smile" by Charlie Chaplin. One of their stops in their summer tour was the Valencia Jazz Festival (Spain) where Avishai Cohen found time to sit down with All About Jazz.

Alison Moyet – “minutes and seconds live” – an album which captures some of the finest live moments of the minutes tour

This is an exceptional Acoustic Alchemy album. Their body of studio work is great. I've been following them from the start, and I've enjoyed the evolution of their sound album to album. Seeing them live is always a joy, usually as a 5 piece - 2 guitars, keyboards, bass and drums with the occasional guest on saxophone or trumpet. This live album was recorded in London with the latest incarnation of the group (and no guest). It must have been recorded at the Pizza Express, Dean Street, but the album notes don't say that. That's the only London venue that I know they've played in the last few years. I've seen them there and at The Stables, but not last year or this. Listening to this album that's now a big regret, but this makes up for it big time. The live setting allows them to relax and stretch out the arrangements. There is an extra energy and immediacy to their interplay that is really difficult to recreate in the studio, and this recording captures that live essence perfectly.

New album ‘Restriction’ was produced by longtime collaborator Jerome Devoise and Archive, and will be released worldwide on the band's own Dangervisit label via [PIAS] on 12th January 2015. Speaking about the new album Archive co-founder Darius Keeler says: “We set out to make an album with 12 individual and distinct songs, all coming from a similar place but at the same time musically diverse and unique.

Although some highlights from Alice Cooper‘s performance at last year’s Wacken Open Air festival were featured in the “Live at Wacken 2013″ DVD released earlier this year, UDR Records are beginning to release artists whole sets in special CD/DVD packages and Alice Cooper is the first in what will hopefully be a long line of releases to come.
Of course, Alice needs no bigging up at this point in his career, having seen and done everything there is to do in a career in rock music that spans nearly half a century, and that is kind of the point of this set as the idea of the Raise the Dead Tour was to pay homage to The Hollywood Vampires, a group of rock stars – including Cooper, John Lennon, Keith Moon, Micky Dolenz and Ringo Starr – who used to get together and try to out drink each other, and some of the other fellow hellraisers who fell by the wayside along the way, like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison.
