Bruce Springsteen perfectly summed up the Dion DiMucci case: the bond between Frank Sinatra and rock’n’roll. From the 50s and 60s with The Belmonts, real doo-wop Rolls, to his solo career, the Bronx singer has always been inseparable from New York, as recalled by his 2016 album, The Well-named New York Is my Home. So the Big Apple, but also the blues, a genre that he often approached in a very personal way. This blues is at the heart of Blues With Friends whose title is also well marked. And what friends ! The fair Boss and his wife Patti Scialfa but also Jeff Beck, Paul Simon, Billy Gibbons, Brian Setzer, Van Morrison, Joe Louis Walker, Joe Bonamassa, John Hammond, Sonny Landreth, Rory Block, Stevie Van Zandt… Difficult to line up a more impressive hunting board. Proof especially of the aura of Dion, still intact 80 years ago… “I wanted an album of strong and memorable songs and telling stories that were worth telling. Blues has been at the heart of my music since the early ‘ 60s. The Wanderer was a 12-measure blues and I was already picking up Willie Dixon and Jimmy Reed in my Columbia debut, much to the dismay of my bosses. “Despite the eclecticism of the guest cast, Dion remains himself throughout this cuvée 2020, published by keeping the Blues Alive Records, Bonamassa’s label, and it is rather his sidemen who bow to his vision. The years have slightly chiseled his magic voice that now sticks even better to the idiom blues, a genre to be handled with precision as Bob Dylan so well writes in the cover notes of the record. A blues never disconnected from everyday life, like Song For Sam Cooke( Here in America), a powerful duo with Paul Simon on segregation in the southern United States in the early 60s and that resonates powerfully as America ignites at the time of the release of this elegant Blues with Friends – Marc Zisman

Diogo Monzo is a fresh voice on the horizon of jazz-infused hymn settings for the piano. His technique is flawless. His rhythmic grooves are totally ‘in the pocket.’ His harmonic changes push the edge some but also delight the ear. Recipient of numerous Jazz and Brazilian music awards, Diogo Monzo’s newest release shows off a intimate side with this solo piano album.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Cherry Red Records
Formed in 1984, Dinosaur Jr carved a singular path through the latter half of the 1980s and early 1990s, issuing a number of highly influential albums in the process before finding a home with Sire Records. “Where You Been”, their fifth record, emerged in 1993, at the height of enthusiasm for grunge and the alternative American rock scene the band had long been part of.
Produced by a new line-up of the group (longtime drummer Murph and new bassist Mike Johnson completing the three-piece), the album became the band’s most successful up to that point, reaching #50 in the US (where it sold over a quarter of a million copies) and #10 in the UK album charts, and spawning the hit single ‘Start Choppin’.

Here is Sweep It Into Space, the fifth new studio album cut by Dinosaur Jr.. during the 13th year of their rebirth. Originally scheduled for issue in mid 2020, this record’s temporal trajectory was thwarted by the coming of the Plague. But it would take more than a mere Plague to tamp down the exquisite fury of this trio when they are fully dialed-in. And Sweep It Into Space is a masterpiece of zoned dialing. Recorded, as usual, at Amherst’s Biquiteen, the sessions for Sweep It Into Space began in the late Autumn of 2019, following a West Coast/ South East tour. The only extra musician used this time was Kurt Vile who co-produced the record. Indeed, Sweep It Into Space is a very cool album. As is typical, Lou Barlow writes and sings two of the album’s dozen tunes and Murph’s pure-Flinstonian drumming drives the record like a go cart from Hell. Lou’s songs here are as elegant as always. But there are very few moments where you wouldn’t know you were hearing Dinosaur Jr. in blindfolded needle drop. They have a signature sound as sure as the Stooges or Sonic Youth or Discharge ever did. They continue to expand their personal universe with Sweep It Into Space, without ever losing their central core.

Dinosaur – Wonder Trail (2018)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 36:38 minutes | 739 MB | Genre: Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Edition Records
Dinosaur’s second album is as electrifyingly different as anyone who knows Laura Jurd’s track record would expect. Never one to be labeled, the fearsomely talented and multiple award-winning Jurd has a Miles-like way of taking her work and tuning it to illuminate a vast array of musical worlds. She’s done orchestrated and meticulously composed; jazz rock grooves; electronic minimalism; mainstream jazz and now, with her new album, Wonder Trail, and band Dinosaur, keyboard maestro Elliot Galvin to the fore, she’s plundered the synth-pop of the 1980s for a new sound. But this is not gratuitous borrowing, or any kind of hipsterish, retro post-modernism. For one, these are very current sounds (Broen’s an indie band with similar reference points that comes up in conversation). And for two, Jurd and Galvin use the poptastic-ness of the keyboard sound as a sort of tin opener to get into all kinds of serious musical areas – improvisation, vocodered strangeness, strutting rockishness, bucolic folkiness. But, as with any proper stylistic amalgam, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Dinosaur’s latest offering finds them in a more acoustic setting, presenting brand new material that reflects on 10 years of miraculous interplay, whilst maintaining the sonic elasticity of their previous, more “plugged-in” album ‘Wonder Trail’. Playing the compositions of bandleader and multi-award winning composer, Laura Jurd, Dinosaur explores Laura’s distinctive yet ever-evolving music with playful abandon and technical prowess, earning them a reputation as some of the most remarkable UK jazz musicians of their generation. Having played at some of the world’s most iconic jazz festivals including North Sea, Molde and Montréal, the band goes from strength to strength as they enter their 10th year of trumpet-led, improvisatory magic.
