Bf. W. Pearce And Danilo Zecchiook

At the center of sweeping change to food retailing practices in Victorian and Edwardian England lies one man: John Pearce. An innovative businessman and a quintessential rags-to-riches success story, Pearce was at the forefront of the rise of the mass food market in London. With his catering company Pearce & Plenty, he fed millions of workers who wanted fast, nutritious, and tasty food. David W. Gutzke mines a wide range of primary sources to offer a portrait of a pivotal figure in London and a leader of the temperance catering movement who had “done more than can be readily recognised to render London a sober city.” By studying Pearce’s companies as well as those of his competitors, this book documents a half century of changing consumption habits in London.

This album is a winner of Swing Journal 2008 Jazz Disc Best Production Award. Swing Journal Gold Disc! On this recording, Rea's piano is slightly placed to the right and Sellani's to the left, but their sounds merge and intersect with each other in the middle. The music they create together is beautiful, lyrical and emotional. What stands out is their "singing" quality which can be attributed to their Italian heritage. The heartwarming interaction of two great souls is captured with marvelous sonics: the pianos sound pure, natural, detailed and warm. This is a wonderful, wonderful piano duo album.

When Andrew W.K.—né Andrew Wilkes-Krier—burst onto the scene in a blaze of hyperactive, hyper-intense glory, it could've been the dumbest frat rock joke ever. "When it's time to party, we will party hard! Hey!" was an actual lyric, and the overarching theme of his debut album, I Get Wet. Culturally, the early 2000s was a time of great cynicism and skepticism: He had to be in on the joke, right? Turns out, he was in on it—but it was no joke. Andrew W.K. was serious about the notion of having a good time, just not in some nihilistic, let's-get-wasted sense. He became a motivational speaker and a guru of the power of positive thinking and living—lecturing at Yale, NYU and Oxford Union. And he's never stopped preaching the virtues of feeling good about feeling good.
