Embarazo y Parto From Diciembre 2013

In April 2013, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds were booked to play the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and with the same lineup of acts appearing two consecutive weekends, Cave and his bandmates had a few days to kill in California. During their downtime in the Golden State, Cave and the Bad Seeds cut a live-in-the-studio session for Santa Monica's public radio station KCRW-FM, and the recordings have been released under the straightforward (if less than imaginative) title Live from KCRW. Given that Cave's Push the Sky Away had been released just two months earlier, it should come as no surprise that the KCRW set followed the soulful but understated tone of that album, and the two releases share four songs, but in many respects, this is a richer and more emotionally engaging experience, and nearly as precise…

The third full-length by 22-year-old Sarah Jarosz reflects not only her growth as a songwriter but her willingness to push the boundaries of country, folk, and Americana to discover connections not necessarily considered before. Build Me Up from Bones reflects years of study in contemporary voice improvisation at the New England Conservatory of Music. She wrote nine of the 11 songs here, and chose two covers: Bob Dylan's "Simple Twist of Fate" and Joanna Newsom's "The Book of Right-On."

Hot off the heels of their 2012 Blues Music Award nomination for Best New Artist Debut, The Mighty Mojo Prophets return with their sophomore release on Delta Groove Music. Flyin' Home From Memphis includes 13 skillfully written and wonderfully performed songs, composed by vocalist Tommy Eliff and guitarist Mitch Dow.

'Conjunto Jagüey' was created just over a year by the Dominican master Pedro Cruz, bassist and arranger, and Colombian singer and composer Andrés Carabalí, both interested in keeping alive the roots of Antillean and Latin music. Cruz made musical studies with Ovidio Garcia and Johnny Colón, has worked for years in New York with artists like Lalo Rodriguez, Paquito Guzman, Tommy Olivencia, Cheo Feliciano and Johnny Pacheco. Carabalí has worked with several salsa bands as The Great Pinkie and Cano Estremera as vocalist. This album is the debut of 'Jagiiey' as a salsa group, in which two trumpets, piano, bass, three percussion (conga and bongo) and vocalists are integrated.

Thirty-five years after releasing The Modern Dance, Pere Ubu delivered Lady from Shanghai, an album that bandleader David Thomas described as "dance music, fixed." That's a pretty bold declaration, and almost as attention-getting as the band naming its 2006 album Why I Hate Women (after a fictional novel). Dance music may or may not need fixing, but for a band as dedicated to questioning authority and assumptions as Pere Ubu, even the mindlessness of a hip-shaking beat could become the enemy.

Despite stints with Orchestras and duos Peterson loved the trio format best. Touring the world in the early Sixties with Ray Brown on Double Bass and Ed Thigpen on Drums the band settled in Chicago for a week long Residency, subsequently recording a four LP set of their performances. The two recordings here are considered the cream of the crop consisting of compositions from right across the 20th century along with two of Peterson's own, masterful creations. Originally released on Verve Records in 1961.
