Invading one of the world's most vibrant, sun-laden dance music hotspots with its pristine, summer-tinged selection, 'Armada Deep - Ibiza 2019' emerges to set a new industry standard. Including tracks from the likes of Ben Bohmer, Eagles & Butterflies, Eelke Kleijn, Joris Voorn, Infinity Ink, Lane 8, Maxim Lany, Pete Tong, Radio Slave, Shiba San, Steve Lawler and Yotto this brand-new, Ibiza-scented compilation album is all the world needs to really dive into the finest Deep House music of the moment.
A Brooklyn-based keyboardist and producer, Jesse Fischer confronts his audience with contemporary issues, producing a powerful, thought-provoking recording in the tradition of Max Roach’s We Insist!. With collaborators including Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Mino Cinélu, and Gregoire Maret, the release explores everything from Fischer’s Jewish heritage and identity to the Black Lives Matter movement, all without compromising musical integrity or excitement.
Fischer displays an Ellingtonian ability to conjure emotions, ideas, and impressions out of harmony, blending vocals, horns, and keyboards into an evocative portrait of the modern world. “Healing,” showcases this exceptionally with horns and synths building meditatively and crescendoing to a triumphant conclusion…
Culled from New York Philharmonic broadcasts spanning 75 years, this remarkable 10-disc compilation testifies to the strong-willed yet chameleon-like orchestra's virtuosity and versatility under a diverse assemblage of podium personalities. Stylistically speaking, the earlier items are the most interesting, revealing, for instance, a more vibrant Otto Klemperer and freer Arturo Toscanini than their later commercial efforts sometimes suggest. Other artists are heard in repertoire which they otherwise didn't record: Fritz Reiner's Brahms 2nd, Leonard Bernstein's Berg and Webern, and a wrenching concert version of Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle under Kubelík's direction, to name but a few. From program notes to transfer quality, not one stone is left unturned to ensure first-rate results.
