Sunset From March 2017 Pdf

Espiral is instrumental avant-prog/experimental-fusion four-piece band from Santiago de Chile. It was formed in 2016 by experienced musicians with various background: Miguel Angel Rodriguez (keyboards), Jose Luis Cayul (guitar), Ignacio Larrain (bass, saxophone), and Cristian "Joven Billy" Hidalgo (drums). In January 2017, the band presented 4-track self-titled demo EP, which was followed in July by the debut full-length album "Love From Melmac". The band tends to perform thoroughly composed and arranged, complex, tight, variable, and dark instrumental music bringing together elements of avant-garde, progressive rock, jazz-fusion, and space-rock.

Tyketto’s debut album, “Don’t Come Easy” is considered a landmark release amongst melodic hard rock albums of the late ‘80s/early ‘90s. While the band has continuously put out quality recordings over the years, fans and critics alike hold the debut album in especially high regard…

Nate Smith‘s visceral, instinctive, and deep-rooted style of drumming has already established him as a key piece in reinvigorating the international jazz scene, and now his rising career reaches a new benchmark with the release of his bandleader debut, KINFOLK: Postcards from Everywhere (February 3, 2017 via Ropeadope Records). Much like his diverse and ample résumé (which includes esteemed leading lights such as Dave Holland, Chris Potter, Ravi Coltrane, José James, Somi, and Patricia Barber, among others), this album sees Smith fusing his original modern jazz compositions with R&B, pop, and hip-hop.
