For many years it was assumed that no recordings existed of Horenstein conducting Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, but in the last few years no less than three have surfaced: with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Goteborg Symphony Orchestra, and this one with the Berlin Philharmonic, recorded live during the 1961 Edinburgh Festival.

Music started early in Antar Goodwin’s life. Born in Philadelphia, his parents planted the music seed early on. That seed has grown into a career that led to fascinating experiences. The most recent is as the musical director/bassist and co-writer for the Katie Henry Band.
Deeply steeped in the blues and roots based music, Antar got his start playing jazz, (Abbey Lincoln, Benny Golson), funk (Sharon Jones, BlaqMel), RnB/Hip Hop (Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean) and pop (Sting, Patty Smyth). Through those experiences, Antar has developed a style that is at once, a great compliment to the music as well as a sound all his own.

‘And Also The Trees’ compelling new album, ‘Mother-of-Pearl Moon’, was born from a series of extraordinary electric guitar improvisations created by guitarist Justin Jones in the pre- and postdawn hours during a month of solitude in 2020. Each piece then developed in its own way – the guitar, often left in its raw, unaltered form, is accompanied by the voice of his brother Simon, bringing imagery and narrative, Colin Ozanne’s clarinet and piano adding poise, colour and harmony, Paul Hill’s percussion creating depth… on occasion an autoharp, a Moog… all leading the listener from the depths of the English countryside far out in all directions of the compass. The music is often filmic, reminiscent of various film genres from the ‘50s to the ‘70s. This is most apparent in ‘This path through the meadow’, a song that explores the intertwining of human nature and nature in its animal and botanic form, and in its video where the band appear to be performing to an imaginary screening. Elsewhere, the album title track transports the listener across the oceans to the Far East…and to its exotic gardens, still waters and the ‘Mother-of-pearl moon’. And Also The Trees (AATT) formed during the original post-punk era in rural Worcestershire, an environment that has provided a constant inspiration to a group whose music has often explored the dark underbelly as well as the beauty of the British countryside. They are renowned for their captivating live performances, a unique style of mandolin-like electric guitar, evocative lyrics and dark jazz rhythms – not to mention a creative independence fiercely preserved for over four decades. Founded by singer Simon Jones and his guitarist brother Justin, AATT have maintained a continuous presence on the post-punk, alternative rock and Gothic scenes worldwide. They have released fifteen studio albums.
