A beautiful, melancholy melody that is loved across borders and time.Jazz Bar, Japan's best-selling jazz compilation, is back for it's 24th year.In the world of jazz, it is believed that great performances produce great songs. The famous and legendary jazz saying, 'Jazz has only great performances without great songs,' aptly expresses this. There is no doubt about this. If you listen to Miles' famous 'Autumn Leaves,' you can perfectly understand how the chanson 'Autumn Leaves' quickly became a great jazz masterpiece. However, I think there is also the opposite idea that 'great songs produce great performances,' and that it's okay to have that. I always select songs for 'Jazz Bar' with that sentiment in mind.

Scratch 'N' Sniff is the fourth album by Danish heavy metal band Fate, released in 1990. The album was digitally remastered and re-released in 2004. After this album IA Eklundh left and was replaced by Søren Hoff and they recorded a couple of demos in 1992, before the band disbanded, and two of them was released with the 2004 version of Scratch 'N' Sniff.

First thing’s first-context and impressions. I’ll spare you the googling-Megatropolis is the sixth studio album released by Iron Savior. It was released in 2007. So what am I doing reviewing it? Here’s the thing. This year, the band released a partially re-recorded and remixed version of the original album. Why? Probably money. But the lead guitarist and singer, Piet Sielck, has been quoted as saying “AFM has informed me that our “Megatropolis” album is sold out, so the idea came up to rework the material and release a new edition. Being unhappy with the album for a long time, I am absolutely delighted to get a chance to correct my errors. The new mix will carry all Iron Savior trademarks such as big choir backings and lots of multi timbral vocals. I left all these goodies out at the time to make the album more distinguishable from my former second band Savage Circus… a fatal error, which I finally can correct now.

Early 1970's progressive rock band from Randers, Denmark. Released a single The Sandbox Series in 1970 and recorded material for an album that wasn't released. In 1972 the master tapes where lost when Spectator Records burned to the ground but it turned out that a copy of the tapes existed and it resurfaced in 1990 when a group of music students doing research into early Danish rock music encountered the band. The album was thus released as Danish Progressive Rock 1970, 20 years after the recordings to place. In 1971 a second album was recorded in Copenhagen with Pete Quaife as producer. This album also remained unreleased at the time, and finally saw the light of day on Udkoksning I Tre Satser in 2006.

It took almost 20 years for German power metal masters IRON SAVIOR to release their first Live DVD/CD "Live At The Final Frontier". The band, founded in 1996 by Piet Sielck, Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray) and Thomen Stauch (ex-Blind Guardian), has unleashed eight studio albums since then and has just recently issued a reworked version (remixed, remastered, partly re-recorded) of their “Megatropolis” album, titled “Megatropolis 2.0”. Now with their first ever DVD, IRON SAVIOR will satisfy their fans again completely: “Live At The Final Frontier” includes the band’s recent hometown concert (Hamburg, January 2015) on DVD and 2CDs (as package in Digipak format). Additional bonus (video) material (backstage/concert) rounds off this extensive package, which is a must-have for all IRON SAVIOR fans!

The wind quintet made up of the principal players of the Danish National Symphony are fairly well-known from their earlier recordings. And Ralf Gothóni, who joins them for Poulenc's Sextet for Piano and Winds, is a strikingly sensitive pianist, particularly in chamber settings. The program itself is very strong; it comprises basically the core of 20th-century French wind quintet literature: the Poulenc Sextet, Ibert's 'Trois Pièces brèves,' Françaix's First Wind Quintet, and Milhaud's 'Le Cheminée du roi René.'
