Quand trois musiciens en mouvement perpétuel passionnés de cinéma posent leurs notes sur des scènes qu’ils affectionnent, ou mettent en musique les sentiments que certains films leur inspirent, les sons deviennent des images, des décors, des histoires, des personnages, des ambiances. D’autant que chacun fait preuve d’une grande sensibilité et que l’instrumentation, sans section rythmique, laisse la musique ouverte tout en lui conférant une sorte d’intemporalité, gage de cohérence dans un répertoire inspiré aussi bien par les années 50 que par des productions plus récentes. Thierry Péala, qu’on sait coutumier de ce format intimiste, bénéficie de fait d’un large champ d’expression dont il use à bon escient pour prêter ici sa voix très juste et moelleuse aux textes de Gill Gladstone, Viviane Moscatelli, Joelle Peter et Laura Littardi.
After four years off records and in obscurity, Lonnie Johnson launched his final comeback with this release, which has been reissued on CD. Teamed with tenor saxophonist Hal Singer, pianist Claude Hopkins, bassist Wendell Marshall and drummer Bobby Donaldson, Johnson sings and plays guitar on a variety of blues, showing that the layoff (he was working at the time as a janitor) had not hurt his abilities in the slightest.

moonbooter is an Electronic Music project located in the German Eifel. The man behind the project is Bernd Scholl, not to mix up with the other EM-Musician of the same name. In the 80th and 90th Bernd worked as a DJ, artist and musicproducer for club-orientated music. At the same time he enjoyed as an adolescent the softer Electronic Music…
After a break for some years, Bernd produces his first EM-album "Teralogica" in 2003, which was first released in 2004. The album "devided" and "orbit number 2" followed. With the following DVD-Version of "orbit number 2”, Bernd visualized his passion for NASA and space.
In this 2003 performance from the Austin City Limits series, New England's Susan Tedeschi demonstrates a range that extends well beyond her blues base. Following the blueprint employed by Bonnie Raitt a few decades earlier, she covers John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" (a signature tune for Raitt), inserting a snippet from the Grateful Dead's "Sugaree." The piano balladry of her "Wrapped in the Arms of Another" could fit just fine on a Raitt album. The set also finds her sampling from the songbooks of Sly Stone ("You Can Make It If You Try"), Bob Dylan ("Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"), and Stevie Wonder ("Love's in Need of Love Today"), in addition to the more straightforward blues of Koko Taylor ("Voodoo Woman"). Though Tedeschi's stinging lead guitar provides the focus, she receives strong support from a band featuring the interplay of electric pianist Jason Crosby (who doubles on violin) and William Green on Hammond B-3 organ. Highlights include a tribute to jam-band inspiration Col. Bruce Hampton on "Hampmotized" and the simmering "Wait for Me," with its echoes of Aretha Franklin.
