Following up on seeds first planted in the depths of the Interzone conspiracy, Nova Express combines the quirky atonal lyricism of Zorn's classical music with the cut up techniques of Naked City and the intimate virtuosity of the Masada songbook. Scored for a modern jazz quartet of vibes, piano, bass and drums, these episodic, dynamic and moody compositions feature some of Zorn's strongest writing. Performed by an all-star group of four downtown masters, this is an exciting new sound from the world of John Zorn. Modern chamber music filled with beautiful details and dramatic passions composed and conducted by our East Village musical alchemist.

A tribute of Slovenian musicians, including Laibach, to Kraftwerk. The album is including 15 songs, remaked by bands whcih started their career when Kraftwerk was born, to newcomers with their first recordings on this album. An interseting point of view of the music of a group that set standards in electronic music.

Today, in France, they are at least three pianists to have this talent of jazz musician and composer for great formation: Jean-Pierre Como, Antoine Herve and Herve Sellin. If you liked “L'âme soeur” of the first and “Road Movie” of the second, then, inevitably, you will like this “Marciac New York Express”. The compositions remarkable, are inspired (the four movements are connected with masterliness), and never fall into the repetition. The musicians are given some to heart joy: Stephan Guillaume with the clarinet and sax soprano, Stéphane Chausson and Sylvain Beuf with the sax tenor, Claude Egéa with the trumpet, Gueorgui Kornazov with the trombone, Michael Felberbaum with the guitar, Stéphan Caracci with the vibraphone, and the rhythmic made up one of Bruno Rousselet (double bass) and Karl Jannuska (drums) is at this remarkable point.

Definitive's mini-anthology of classic recordings featuring pioneer electrically amplified guitarist Charlie Christian is an excellent core sample taken from his brief and eventful career. Note that Definitive has also issued what purport to be compilations containing all of Christian's complete live and studio recordings, as well as another more modestly proportioned sampler entitled The Genius of the Electric Guitar. Charlie Christian was like a will-o'-the-wisp, a strikingly creative sideman who appeared at studio sessions and live jams during a span of months only adding up to a couple of years before succumbing to tuberculosis at the age of 25 in 1942. On Definitive's Celestial Express, the guitarist is heard with various groups led by Lionel Hampton and Benny Goodman, with Edmond Hall's Celeste Quartet, and with the Kansas City Six (a band including Count Basie and Lester Young) at the second From Spirituals to Swing concert in Carnegie Hall.
