Unquestionably the Greatest Commentator of Them All and No Mean Ryder Cup Player Himself, Peter Alliss Introduces His Collection of Golfing Legends.

THE COMPLETE ESP-DISK RECORDINGS is a definitive snapshot of Sonny Simmons's art. The two-disc set comprises two albums from 1966 (STAYING ON THE WATCH and MUSIC FROM THE SPHERES), both of which represent his wildly exploratory style to fine effect. Also included are extensive interviews with Simmons, featuring conversations on everything from Eric (Simmons worked with him in the early '60s), his wife (the trumpeter Barbara Donald), and the state of the avant garde. This is a sure bet for any fan of '60s free jazz.

This project is the close collaboration with several precious and talented musicians helping me to record and produce it, believing in every step and understanding the risk. The enthusiasm was such that nothing could stop us. I had the opportunity to record this album in the studio of a musician friend who had promised me his participation a long time ago, now the time has come; now the dream is coming true!

Whether you love or hate Kiss bassist/marketing mastermind Gene Simmons, the main revelation of his second solo album is how eclectic he can be with his musical choices. (This is, after all, a guy who covered "When You Wish Upon a Star" on his solo debut at a time when he was still sporting demon make-up.) Apparently, the cocky bassist's Rolodex got quite a workout for this project. Former Kiss bandmates Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer were recruited for the swaggering "Weapons of Mass Destruction", Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro shows up on a scorching cover of Prodigy's "Firestarter", and Bob Dylan, of all people, helped co-write the heartfelt ballad "Waiting for the Morning Light". Throughout the record Simmons shifts gears, from the ZZ Top-flavored boogie of "Sweet & Dirty Love" to the Beatlesque ballad "Now That You're Gone", to the surprisingly catchy title cut…
