“ | Rolando Villazónâs Roméo wins Julietteâs heart, with impassioned, refined singing of an emotionally and vocally demanding role. Directed by Bartlett Sher, who telegenically captures the fantastic natural scenery of the famous Felsenreitschule, this first ever production of Gounod âs Roméo at the Salzburg Festival benefits from Québecois conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguinâs innate understanding. Only 25 and film star beautiful, soprano Nino Machaidze embodies Juliette with unforced girlish charm, gorgeous tone and emotional heat | ” |
“ | The Yardbirds are mostly known to the casual rock fan as the starting point for three of the greatest British rock guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. For Your Love is the first American album by English rock band The Yardbirds. Released in 1965, the album is a mix of US-only tracks and previously released singles compiled by Yardbirds' producer, Giorgio Gomelsky. For Your Love has been reissued by several record labels, including JVC, Castle, and Repertoire. In addition to the eleven tracks from the original album, the Repertoire reissue includes Yardbirds' demos recorded with Eric Clapton December 1963 - November 1964, a demo with Indian musicians, a single B-side with Jeff Beck, and an Italian single with Beck and with Chris Dreja. | ” |
“ | 'Feet and Teeth' is the second album of Belgian blues band The Alley Gators. "Alligator feet and alligator teeth are regularly used in South to increase gambling luck. Like the ever-popular rabbit foot, also considered lucky for gamblers, the alligator foot may worn as a key chain charm or carried in a mojo bag along with such natural curios as rattlesnake rattles, badger teeth, bat hearts, nutmegs, buckeye nuts, Lucky Hand roots, five-finger grass, John the Conqueror roots, and lodestones dressed with magnetic sand." | ” |
“ | This six-CD set, with recordings from 1972 to 1984, includes the albums Conception Vessel, Tribute, Dance, Le Voyage, Psalm and It Shouldâve Happened A Long Time Ago. Paul Motianâs innovative drumming with the great trios of Bill Evans and Paul Bley had already assured him of a place in jazzâs history books, but Motian had not considered life as a bandleader until ECM proposed a recording session under his own name. âConception Vesselâ opened floodgates of creativity. Through these recordings we hear not only the evolution of several outstanding Motian ensembles and the birth of the enduring Motian/Frisell/Lovano trio, but also the growth of confidence of a unique jazz composer. In Paulâs music, memories of Turkish and Armenian melodies he had heard as a child were filtered through a love of jazz. | ” |
“ | Shortly after leaving Count Basie's Orchestra, tenor saxophonist Frank Foster led this quintet set for Prestige. Foster shows off the influence of John Coltrane (as opposed to his earlier cool-toned style) and matches well with the occasionally fiery trumpet of Virgil Jones, pianist Albert Dailey, bassist Bob Cunningham and drummer Alan Dawson. In addition to Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz," Foster performs five originals, some of which (like "Raunchy Rita") fall into the area of funky hard bop. Spirited music. | ” |
