Monsters Of Rock, Killer's seventh album, marks the band's 35th anniversary. From the outset the power trio was embraced by a myriad of fans all over the world. Their first three albums: Ready For Hell, Wall Of Sound and Shockwaves, were lauded by aficionados and critics alike as heavy-metal-masterpieces of the 80s. By the mid-80s the band sold albums around the globe and played prestigious festivals; a noteworth climax being a tour of Poland in 1986, where every night they played for captive audiences numbering no less than 10.000 fans In 1990 Mausoleum Records - which had been dormant since the 1986 bankruptcy of it's parent company - made a comeback, and so did Killer. With a second guitar player added to the line-up, Killer's fourth album, Fatal Attraction, eagerly awaited by fans for over five years, was another success.

Combining disparate elements of electronics (Þórður Kári Steinþórsson, aka ‘Doddi’), clarinet (Áslaug Rún Magnúsdóttir) and Jófríður Ákadóttir’s enchanting voice, Samaris mix glacial electronica and bold, percussive beats with haunting chant-like vocals - the lyrics culled from nineteenth century Icelandic poems.

The American Francophile, Natalia M. King, is an artist of great integrity, one who carries the heritage of black music in her soul, its rhythmical groove as well as its strong sense of identity and passionate commitment. After a recording pause, King has decided to break her silence. She returns with an album of blazing new tracks, most of which are self-composed.

Ever since he hit the national scene, in the late 1980s, Russell Malone has made two things very clear. First, he plays with exquisite taste, at any tempo and in any setting. And second, his tastefulness hasn't crowded out his overwhelming technique: from the start, his ability to construct firecracker solos, exploding with complexity and virtuosic finesse, has never been in doubt. But on All About Melody, Malone homed in on strong melodies. “I prefer to play songs that stick in my head, and in the listener's head” paired with harmonic schemes that might prompt imaginative improvisations. And indeed, each of the pieces Malone included on this session meets the bill. They also have one additional virtue: they are played by Russell's working band of Rick Germanson, Luke Sellick and Willie Jones III. Together they are able to selflessly convey the essence of these melodies and prove, to paraphrase Beethoven, “what comes from the heart, goes to the heart.”

Bill Charlap Trio "Notes From New York"It’s as if Tommy Flanagan and Bill Evans are coming together as one and meet Hank Jones, each time that I hear pianist Bill Charlap play. The last time he was heard on record was on the brilliantly relaxed and elegant Tony Bennett album with the songs of Jerome Kern. Bill’s musical mates are, once again, Peter Washington on bass and Kenny Washington on drums (no relation). They have played together since 1997. And the nine numbers are swinging and flowing in cutely executed straight ahead fashion.
