Reminiscence

Japanese Pianist Tomono Kawamura studied in the UK and has performed to acclaim in many parts of the world. Her debut album, ‘Reminiscence’, reflects repertoire found in her concerts with a program of popular masterwork which Tomono believes can trigger emotions and memories – taking the listener back to magical moments associated with that piece of music.

John Fedchock’s Reminiscence is the exciting sequel to his critically acclaimed quartet recording Fluidity. This collection of timeless standards and fresh originals showcases Fedchock’s dynamic trombone and the sensitive rhythm section of pianist John Toomey, bassist Jimmy Masters, and drummers Dave Ratajczak (tracks 1-6) and Billy Williams (track 7). The program includes jazz classics, If You Could See Me Now (Tadd Dameron) and Lament (J.J. Johnson), iconic standards, The End of a Love Affair (Redding) and You’re My Everything (Warren), and three pieces penned by Fedchock, The Third Degree, Loose Change and Brazilian Fantasy. Recorded in pristine fidelity, the atmosphere of a small club with a receptive audience completes the live experience.

This fascinating book presents the unusual career of a scientist of Chinese Malaysian origin, Ho Peng Yoke, who became a humanist and rendered his services to both Eastern and Western intellectual worlds. It describes how Ho adapted to working under changing social and academic environments in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Hong Kong and England. His activities also covered East Asia, Europe and North America. Ho Peng Yoke worked in collaboration with Joseph Needham of Cambridge over different periods spanning half a century in the monumental series Science and Civilization in China. Ho subsequently succeeded Needham as Director of the Needham Research Institute, where he held the post for 12 years. In the introduction to the final volume of that series, the Oxford scholar Mark Elvin remarked that Ho “had long piloted the ship through difficult times.” This book tells the story and more.
