It's been almost 9 years since the release of their last release. With such a wait rest assured that the Whispers have delivered what can arguably be described as their one of strongest albums ever released. Their sound is as fresh and vibrant as ever was. This time around, they've released For Your Ears Only on their own Satin Tie label. A strong album with a supporting cast of a whole plethora of quality artists all helping to make this one special album. The music feels real, not synthetic like so much of today's R&B. They may have a throwback sound, but the songs sounds surprisingly fresh.
Ed Jones may now be considered a stalwart of the UK & International jazz sceen. Signed orignally by Gilles Peterson on Acid Jazz and after many years in Incognito he has always ploughed his own furrow leading different small groups himself. This quartet with Impossible Ark regulars Ross Stanley, Riaan Vosloo & Tim Giles is a fully freewheeling afair. Taking hard bop melodies and systematically dismantling them. Rough, furocious and virtuosic performances by all members of the group are always soulful.
Jeffrey "Jeff" Lynne is an English songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer who gained fame as the leader and sole constant member of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and was a co-founder and member of The Traveling Wilburys together with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty. What a fantastic way for artists from many genres to honor a man who has nurtured great music his entire life, Jeff Lynne. Lynne Me Your Ears contains many familiar ELO and Jeff Lynne classic tunes, some done very much like the originals, but others are done with new style, in a new vision and yet with love and respect for the original.
Given Lynne's love of melody, it's no surprise that the compilation is top-loaded with some of the best power pop acts of the '90s and 2000s (the Shazam, Michael Carpenter, Sparkle*Jets U.K.)…

Open Your Eyes is the seventeenth studio album by the English rock band Yes, released in November 1997 by Eagle Records in the UK and by Beyond Music in the US. Following the departure of keyboardist Rick Wakeman and the addition of guitarist, keyboardist, and producer Billy Sherwood in 1997, Sherwood and bassist Chris Squire started to develop songs for an album by their own band, Conspiracy. They caught the attention of their new management who suggested to use some of their material for a new Yes studio album…
