A Song For Tomorrow

Acclaimed guitarist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Santiago released his latest record, Song for Tomorrow, on April 9th, 2021 on Heartcore Records. Imbued with Brazilian spirit, the attitude and power of classic rock, and the ingenuitive disposition of modern improvised music, Song for Tomorrow is a bold artistic statement from a musician widely respected and known for his virtuosity and creative identity.

Daniel Zamir is probably one of the most influencial and busy musicians in Israel. Zamir is a virtuoso sax player / composer of what could be defined as “Jewish Jazz”, fusing together elements of Jewish sounds and high quality jazz, together with ethnic and world music elements. Zamir’s albums are the most successful jazz albums ever to be recorded in Israel, with high acclaim from the media and critics and with tremendous sellings.

Tomorrow's Gift first album is a true German Krautrock classic. Powerful long tracks with plenty of guitar, organ, flute and drum solos and of course with Ellen Meyers strong vocals, often compared with Inga Rumpf from Fumpy or Janis Joplin. Indeed Tomorrows Gift and Frumpy musically had a lot in common and are highly appreciated by many fans till today. The recordings were newly remastered and for the first time there is a comprehensive story of the band with a lot of unseen photos describing the decline and fall of Tomorrows Gift written by band founder Manfred Rürup. CD comes with a 28 pages booklet.

Between 1968 and 1974, amateur songwriters, musicians and home taping enthusiasts Peter Howell and John Ferdinando - aka H & F Recordings - retreated to their makeshift home studio in East Sussex to mastermind a series of privately-issued albums that were attributed to semi-fictitious groups such as Ithaca and Agincourt. Only pressed in double-digit quantities, those albums are now amongst the most valuable vinyl artefacts of the era, with copies selling for upwards of £2,000 on the extremely rare occasions that they surface. A Game For All Who Know: The H & F Recordings Box gathers together all four albums and adds an unreleased-at-the-time fifth, the Friends LP Fragile, which was abandoned at acetate stage after Howell accepted an invitation in 1974 to join the BBC Radiophonic Workshop on a full-time basis. The first four albums are presented in miniature card sleeve replicas of the original vinyl artwork, while the Friends album recreates the duo's original plans for the artwork had the LP reached pressing stage.
