Erik Satie occupe une place à part, musicien insaisissable dont on peut mesurer l’importance par l’influence qu’il exerça sur des compositeurs tels que Ravel, Stravinski ou même Debussy, qui était son ami. Son oeuvre pour piano la plus célèbre est sans doute le recueil des Trois Gymnopédies (1888), songe éveillé de la Grèce antique dont la lumineuse transparence va de paire avec une écriture parfaite. Denis Pascal en restitue ici toutes les couleurs, sublimant chaque nuance, chaque phrasé, donnant à la musique de Satie une modernité nouvelle.

Jazz skills meet songwriting sensibility. And: Another extraordinary discovery from the music wonderland Sweden. The three women and two men of the band “Dearest Sister” – no, not “ensemble”, “Project” or “quintet” – but “band”, stand for a current phenomenon with their debut album “Collective Heart”: young musicians with a broad horizon and a well-founded, jazz-influenced education, who do not use their skills to play jazz in the traditional sense, but a music that deals with the influences and themes of their own generation. But at the same time a music that deliberately does not want to be “pop”, but rather sets a contrast to the type of modern mainstream music production and thus fulfills the longing of many listeners for authenticity, originality and emotional depth…

Recorded and filmed at the historic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, in a particularly meaningful turn for Crosby, the sixteen track live offering includes an uncut gem with the song “1974” – a long-lost demo track that Crosby had floating around on his computer hard drive for decades. Continuing to forge new paths in his eighth decade, Crosby again joins forces with Becca Stevens, Michelle Willis and Michael League, the three musicians known as The Lighthouse Band, who he’s been working with since 2016’s Lighthouse album. Far from just a solo live release, working with his first new band since CPR (Crosby, Pevar and Raymond), Crosby and The Lighthouse Band quickly discovered their chemistry took a collaborative leap during their 2018 tour together in support of Crosby’s seventh solo album Here if You Listen (2018) culminating in this live recorded set on the last night of the run.

For more than twenty years, Flat Earth Society Orchestra, the flagship of slightly deranged Belgian jazz, has wreaked havoc on national and international stages, with musical programs bursting at the seams, defying genre labels and confounding listeners with their multi-colored spazz jazz razzmatazz. Highlights? Too many to keep up with, really, but Boggamasta I (2017) was definitely one of them.

Few experiences transformed my performances like my relationship with Zoltán Kocsis. The opportunity to play together encouraged me to more fully execute technical skills, and his immeasurable knowledge of music provided inspiration for a lifetime. His unique genius and charisma unleashed energies I never knew. Often considered Zoltan Kocsis’ legendary pieces, this publication includes the Liszt works. Another notable reason to include the Liszt works was our decade long collaboration beginning with the Réminiscences de Norma. Kocsis’ live recordings of the Grosses Konzertsolo, S.176. and Réminiscences de Norma stand out among interpretations of the works to date, and among all recordings of piano literature ever made. Kocsis demonstrates impressive technical confidence, almost perfection, with unique drifting and captivating musicality may have been the preserve of Ferenc Liszt. The purpose of this publication is to pay tribute to a great man of our time who became a role model for his contemporaries and many generations that followed, through his genius, character, unrelenting perfectionism, and his obsession. I am not trying to surpass the perfection or standard of excellence that has appeared in almost all of Kocsis’ interpretations.

With the support of the American State Department, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, including new members Joe Morello and Eugene Wright, began a major tour of Europe early in 1958. Their first concert in the Netherlands was held on 26 February in the legendary Concertgebouw Hall in Amsterdam, usually reserved for performances of classical music. Since 1951 and the collaboration between Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond, the band had gained a stunning reputation. In 1954, Dave Brubeck was featured on the cover of Time magazine. Rumor has it that Duke Ellington knocked on Brubeck’s hotel door to congratulate him. Brubeck is said to have responded, “It should have been you.” He dedicated one of his most famous pieces, “The Duke”, included on this album, to his fellow pianist.
