Silver Screen Jazz Piano Solo

Out In The Sun is Patrick’s second solo album and comes from 1977. It was recorded in Switzerland and Brazil and was recorded shortly after Patrick left Yes. As with The Story Of I the album has a very percussive feel throughout although the album is made up of eight individual pieces rather than the thematic piece that was The Story Of I. Featured tracks include Out In The Sun, Tentacles, Kabal and Silver Screen. As with the other solo albums in this series of re issues Patrick Moraz has personally overseen the re mastering of this album.

Canadian stalwart prog artist Ken Baird returns with a second Monarch Trail album, on the heels of 'Skye', a much vaunted debut that signaled a new route for the up-to-then solo multi-instrumentalist. It must be stated once again that there are musicians out there who have a level of musical education and a personal style that aims at artistic purity (aka lack of commercialism), charming the unsuspecting listener to be wooed and charmed by the proceedings. Throughout Ken Baird's solo career from 1996 to 2009, the confirmation of a special and unique sound encompassed 5 great albums that still enjoy great appeal to me as a prog collector.

They first crossed paths whilst filming Damian Chazelle The Eddy series - they immediately recognized each other!

More close encounters with John Williams away from the silver screen. This time his focus is the cello – not just the cello‚ mind‚ but the cellist:Yo¬Yo Ma. To say thatMa greatly raises Williams’ game may sound like a rather backhanded compliment‚ but it’s hardly intended as such. The fact of the matter is that composers work on inspiration and when the inspiration comes in human form it generally takes on a more human dimension. The Cello ConcertoÊ– the biggest and most significant work of this collection – was written expressly for Ma.
