One of the Pioneers on the British Neo Prog scene (apologies to Martin ORFORD - I know you hate the Neo Prog concept), IQ is one of the few bands from the 80's and 90's scene that superbly delivers a full symphonic, rich in emotion music. The outstanding vocals of Peter NICHOLLS give the band its trademark, but the keyboard arrangements from the multiband man Martin ORFORD (JADIS) really add to the atmosphere here. Not enough, the guitar work from Mike HOLMES completes the last essential ingredient of the band's musicianship.

"The Wake" - recorded live at De Boerderij, Holland, June 19, 2010

Bob Page is an Atlanta-based master of rockin’ piano blues and boogie woogie. Cash Is A Problem is Bob's third release. It is a tribute of sorts to his many piano idols ranging from covers of Fats Waller and Prof. Longhair to original tunes paying homage to Dr. John, James Booker, Pete Johnson, Otis Spann and others.
Bob learned his craft well as a sideman with Chuck Berry, James Cotton, Lazy Lester, Joe Houston, Johnny Shines, Billy Wright, Rufus Thomas and many more. Whether it's solo, trio, or full band, Bob can hang with the best of them.

Elvin Jones has participated in many recording sessions through the years, but this CD is one of the most well-rounded sets he has ever led. The lineup of musicians is very impressive: trumpeter Nicholas Payton, Sonny Fortune on tenor and flute, trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, pianist Willie Pickens, bassist Cecil McBee, and vocalist Kevin Mahogany. ~ AllMusic

Basic, no-frills anthology of 13 of his better late-'50s Prestige sides, all of which feature his vocals. It has most of his most famous songs, particularly to listeners from a rock background, including his versions of "The Seventh Son," "Eyesight to the Blind" (covered by the Who on Tommy, though Sonny Boy Williamson did it before Allison), "Parchman Farm" (done by John Mayall), and "Young Man's Blues" (also covered by the Who). ~ AllMusic
