Recognized for his high-speed improvisational skills, fun-loving performance spirit, and a flexible right wrist, guitarist Cory Wong had a multifaceted music career in his base of Minneapolis, Minnesota, before becoming better known for regular guest spots as rhythm guitarist for Ann Arbor R&B/funk outfit Vulfpeck in the mid-2010s. Often incorporating intricate, percussive picking into his rhythm playing, his style merges acoustic and electric techniques gleaned from years invested in both. Wong's second solo LP, a set of lighthearted jazz-funk titled The Optimist, debuted in the Top 20 of the Billboard Jazz Albums chart upon its release in 2018. He picked up a Grammy nomination for his 2020 collaboration with Jon Batiste, Meditations, and returned in 2021 with another collaboration, Golden Hour, with saxophonist Dave Koz. He then joined forces with a bevy of guest artists – including Chromeo, Victor Wooten, and Béla Fleck – on the '80s funk- and pop-inspired Power Station.

It’s been said before but April ‘78 was an incredible month for the Dead. Like May ‘77, you could throw a dart and guarantee you hit a stellar show. - KyloRensPecs, r/gratefuldead, Reddit …. April/May '78 has a lot of the same qualities of Spring '77 but with some extra edge and a much bigger sound from the Rhythm Devils. A really special era that often gets neglected. - viewtiful_alan, r/gratefuldead, Reddit Sportatorium - April 7, 1978 when drums started I thought, oh s*#!, i hate drum solos and Billy and Mickey stopped me in my tracks. Wow, these guys are really good. Little did I know the pervasive influence this phenomena would have on my life. - pearlybakerbest, Dead.net. Huntington Civic Centre, West Virginia – 16 April 1978 This is another must-hear concert by The Grateful Dead. The sound and mix are almost ‘absolutely perfect'… It’s difficult to pick out highlights because everything is played so well; the band are tight, Donna is great and the set list is strong. - Grateful Ted, gratefulted.co.uk

It's been nearly two and a half years since Lætitia Sadier teased the promise of a new album via the single "New Moon," and Rooting for Love was worth the wait. Performed in both French and English, the fifth solo album from the Stereolab frontwoman incorporates her familiar touchstones—echoes of Esquivel's winking flare, Bacharach's emotional pull, Steve Reich's deceptive simplicity. But there is also a sense of liberation on the jazzy "Who + What," with Saider's chanteuse delivery fluidly slip-sliding over and across Xavi Muñoz's mesmerizing bass.

It was in 2017, after many years of musical adventures, that Nikk Giggs (vocals/guitar) and Stan Blaineau (bass/backing vocals) decided to reconnect with their first loves: the Blues and Rock of the 60s-70s. They quickly contacted Nicolas Mermoud (drums/backing vocals) and formed MIDNIGHT BURST. Regularly accompanied by harmonica player Vincent Dupuis in concert and in the studio, he becomes the “official guest” of the group.

EXTRAORDINARY 1976 BROADCAST FROM THE MID-PERIOD YES LINE-UP Between 1975 and 1976, each member of Yes released a solo album. Their subsequent 1976 tour of North America with Peter Frampton featured some of the band's most-attended shows. Their concert on of 12 June, also supported by Gary Wright and Pousette-Dart Band at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, attracted over 100,000 people. Titled ‘the solo-albums tour’, the jaunt was essentially a ‘greatest-hits-to-date’ affair, with several songs from the aforementioned solo-efforts thrown into the mix for good measure. The band hadn’t released a group album since Relayer in 1974, prior to which which Rick Wakeman had left Yes over disagreements about their previous record. One of the finest concerts of the tour took place at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey, on 17th June ’76, where Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Patrick Moraz and Alan White collectively played a superb gig which was recorded for live FM radio broadcast. Previously unreleased, this stunning event is now available in full on this new 2CD set.
