Here Comes The Sun

ESA's solar orbiter was launched from Cape Canaveral earlier this year on a decade long mission to discover the secrets of our sun. And the Sky at Night was there to capture all the action. Two aspects of this mission make it unique. First, the spacecraft is designed to capture the highest resolution images of the sun ever taken. And then it will orbit the sun to give us a glimpse of what's happening at the its poles, areas we have never seen before. We discover just how this spacecraft was built, how it will protect itself against the sun's searing heat and how it will investigate the mysteries of the sun with a suite of ten instruments designed and built across 17 European countries.

Martin writes: My first memory of "The Fab Four" was in early 1964. I was 5 years old.
The Beatles were performing at the London Palladium. No, I wasn’t there. But thanks to the little black and white television set in our front room, I had my introduction to Beatlemania. Our family was living in Rochford, Essex, near Southend-On-Sea and the mouth of the River Thames. A mere 40 miles east of London and all this excitement. I can remember saying to my dad, “Why all the screaming? It’s hard to hear the music.” My dad smiled. The song I remember from that performance is “All My Loving” which would have been fairly new back then. They were so exciting and played with such enthusiasm. It’s a memory that has stayed with me all these years. Here Comes The Sun is my take on some of their songs – with the guitar doing the singing. Oh, and by the way, I also wrote a song called “Abbey Road” to close out this album. My tribute. I hope that I’ve done them justice. The CD comes with bonus tracks compared to the download.

This 1971 recording signals the beginning of Jamaican pianist Monty Alexander’s fruitful relationship with MPS, lasting over a decade and encompassing some dozen albums. Originally touted as heir to Oscar Peterson’s crown, Alexander is famous for his virtuoso melding of jazz, the sounds of the Caribbean and blues. The classic Dave Brubeck Quartet’s bassist Eugene Wright, calypso percussionist Montego Joe, and ace drummer Duffy Jackson round out the quartet.

Margot lavora in un lussuoso resort di Montego Bay, in Giamaica, e pur di mandare a scuola la sorella minore Thandi, e assicurarle così un futuro, è disposta a qualsiasi sacrificio. Abituata da sempre a barattare la sua sessualità col denaro, Margot è determinata a impedire che Thandi segua lo stesso destino – e a proteggerla dalla madre Delores, che vede nella seconda figlia una speranza di riscatto. In questa lotta per stare a galla, a perdersi sono i sogni: quelli di Delores, ormai disillusa; quelli di Margot, incapace di inseguire la propria felicità; e quelli della stessa Thandi, che di un avvenire da medico non sa cosa farsene. Ai suoi occhi, l’unico modo per non rimanere impantanata a Montego Bay è avere la pelle più chiara.
Nei progetti per un nuovo hotel che incombe sulla comunità, Margot vede un’opportunità d’indipendenza finanziaria, e forse l’occasione di rivelare il proprio segreto: l’amore proibito per un’altra donna..
