Sabaton Heroes (2014) (japan Kicp 1697)

Outsider is Uriah Heep's 24th studio album. It follows the untimely passing of their beloved bass player, Trevor Bolder in May 2013. The recording started in late 2013 at Liscombe Park Studios in Buckinghamshire, England and features 11 brand new songs, including some epic additions to the band's huge catalog of rock classics. Uriah Heep debuted in 1970 with the release of one of Hard Rock music's milestones Very 'eavy… Very 'umble (which some rock historians argue contains the very FIRST heavy metal song ever, the classic Gypsy) and have since sold in excess of 30 million albums worldwide.

Asako Toki's new album, which marks her 10th anniversary this year since her solo debut in 2004, is the fourth in the "STANDARDS" series, which has been long awaited by her fans for the first time in nine years! Just like her time, this is a jazz standards album produced by her father, Japan's leading saxophonist Hidefumi Toki. In addition to standard songs such as “In a Sentimental Mood,” “Round Midnight,” “Smile,” “Stardust,” “The Look of Love,” “Misty,” and “Cheek to Cheek,” an original song “Lady Traveler” with English lyrics written based on the works of Eiji Toki "After Dark" is also included. She also covered Red Hot Chili Peppers' ``Californication'' as a surprising song choice. Asako Toki's favorite jazz singer Blossom Dearie's Christmas song "Christmas in the City" is a duet with her beloved Haruomi Hosono! This is a new jazz standard album full of "songs that only Asako Toki can sing today" to be delivered on the anniversary year!

Reissue with the latest remastering. Comes with liner notes. A brilliant large ensemble work from Ornette Coleman – ambitious material recorded with full orchestra, in a haunting sound that's light years from any of his smaller group recordings of the 60s and 70s! There's an incredible feel to the strings used here – played by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Measham – all tied up and dark, with swirling sounds that run up beautifully from the bottom, then take off to the skies promised in the title – opening the door for Ornette to come in and solo freely over the top – in a magical mix that easily makes the record a standout in his long and mighty career!
