Great Kat

2016 release. Love and the Lack Thereof is a beautifully crafted and passionate example of some of the best vocal jazz available today. The album features Kat Gang's romantic, sly, and swinging take on lesser-known gems from the American Songbook, from the Lerner and Lane classic "My Shining Hour" to the bittersweet "Nobody's Heart (Belongs To Me)" by Rodgers and Hart. The musicianship here is outstanding, with Mike Renzi leading the way as pianist/ arranger alongside Jay Leonhart on bass and Buddy Williams on drums. Guest appearances by Harry Allen on saxophone and Warren Vache on flugelhorn add spirit and depth. The album was one of the last recordings ever made at the historic Nola Recording Studios, with the great Jim Czak as engineer.

Persepolae è caduta. Karnopolis è bruciata. Mentre le forze dei non-morti attraversano ciò che resta dell'impero, Nazafareen deve obbedire al richiamo della Regina dei demoni per salvare Victor. Oppressa da un potere che riesce a malapena a controllare, intraprende un viaggio attraverso le terre dell'ombra verso la Casa-Dietro-Il-Velo. Ma ciò che la attende è peggiore di qualsiasi destino possa immaginare. A migliaia di leghe di distanza, Tijah conduce un gruppo di bambini in una missione disperata per salvare i prigionieri di Gorgon-e Gaz, la roccaforte dove sono custoditi i daeva più antichi. Per arrivarci, devono attraversare la Great Salt Plain, una terra desolata invasa dagli eserciti della notte. Ma arriveranno in tempo per evitare un massacro? E nella Casa-Dietro-il-Velo, Balthazar e il Profeta Zarathustra scoprono di avere più cose in comune di quanto non potesse sembrare..

This delectable episode traces our love affair with chocolate back to York. It was here that chocolate was transformed from a luxury drink for the rich into the nation's favourite treat. Presenter Steph McGovern leads the makers through the ages, guided by Yorkshireman and chocolatier Paul A Young. Chocolate started as an expensive luxury drink. The makers begin the painstaking task of preparing the cocoa beans from scratch; roasting, shelling and grinding the beans, as would have been done in the Georgian era. Then in early Victorian times, the makers have to create a more affordable blended drink. They are appalled to learn that the ingredients include plaster, brick dust and crushed sea shells.
