A versatile pianist who has worked with singers, symphony orchestras, and jazz groups, David Budway, also has worked with drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts and Hubert Laws, in addition to recording several self-issued CDs prior to this Maxjazz release. With Watts and bassist Eric Revis as his rhythm section mates, Budway's session is filled with striking, thoughtful originals and well-conceived settings of familiar works. Marcus Strickland guests on soprano sax for his turbocharged "Japanese Brunch," which is marked by its tense post-bop rhythm and the leader's darting piano. Branford Marsalis is the soprano saxophonist for Budway's melancholy "Lonely Cane," a spacious ballad with an emotional impact.

Frédérik est un brillant homme d'affaires qui enchaîne les relations insignifiantes. Un jour, il rencontre par hasard Juliette, une bibliothécaire étourdie et solitaire, qu'il drague : « on s'est pas déjà vus quelque part? ». Surprise! Juliette reconnaît son ancien collègue Robert. Frédérik joue le jeu et se fait passer pour Robert afin de se rapprocher de Juliette. Ce faisant, sa perception des relations amoureuses est complètement bouleversée, au grand étonnement de son meilleur ami Elliot. Pour ne pas risquer de perdre Juliette, Fred entretient le mensonge, un malentendu qui peut sembler sans importance, mais qui rapidement devient incontrôlable.

Flamenco is no longer limited to cante, guitar and baile. Instrumental offers are making their way. And with them, encounters between genres and diverse musical trends. Camerata Flamenco Project joins this fourth way with ‘Entre corrientes’, an album on which three instruments meet — piano, cello and flute; as well as three genres — flamenco, classical and jazz. Pablo Suárez, José Luis López and Ramiro Obedman are the soul of this group which, although it has started off as a trio, has the flexibility to “end up becoming a symphony orchestra”. But for the time being, on stages the project is growing with double bass, percussion, Antonio Campos’ cante and Concha Jareño’s baile.

"Big Face" is the third release from the neo-prog band The D-Project. The D-Project plays a form of classic neo-prog that is showcased by bright uplifting riffs that mark the sign of a great understanding of musicality within the group. Also, there is always a slight hint of Pink Floyd without their music, whether it is in the vocals or in the guitar riffs that are scattered throughout the album.
