The mighty Cage return with their sixth album! Like the album cover, the music is a potent, powerful, sensory-overloading and all-encompassing encapsulation of everything that is great about heavy metal. Live for metal, die for Cage!!!
Rocking traditional heavy metal with some power metal elements and, every now and then, a whiff of good old Bay Area thrash. Fans of Metal Church, Saxon, Brainstorm and Primal Fear: go for it!
Some DVDs are self-recommending; i.e., they offer definitive performances by great artists. That’s the case in this 1992 BBC-derived production of Tatiana Nikolayeva playing Shostakovich’s Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87, a work she inspired and which the composer dedicated to her. They met in 1950; Nikolayeva a contestant in a Bach Piano competition, Shostakovich on the jury. Her playing of Bach’s music decided the composer to write his own set of Preludes and Fugues, after the master’s great work. She was only 26 at the time and in 1992, we see a grandmotherly figure, pudgy, hair in a bun, but also a musician/pianist of the highest order playing a work she knew intimately and recorded often. Furthermore, it’s a work that arguably is the greatest solo piano work of the 20th century, a work in which Shostakovich laid bare his soul, writing some of his most intimate and moving music…
With this recording, Joshua Redman attempts a long-form composition for the first time, a series of eight numbers that form a cycle of sorts. The promotional buzz claimed that Redman was taking stock of his music ten years after winning the Thelonious Monk competition, the event that had the effect of launching him full-blown into the big time. Whether or not that's true, there is a predominantly reflective, thoughtful tone about this quartet session, split between written-out passages and flat-out improvisations.
Try to imagine the best Italian-American wedding you've every been to – the people, the food, the style, the love – then set it to some great jazz music, Joey DeFrancesco's Goodfellas. Add this killer band to your next wedding party and be prepared to have the time of your life. Plain and simple, this album is 55 minutes of unabated fun.
Album released in 1992 in Germany by the Elektra Entertainment label with tracks from the soundtrack of the movie "The Mambo Kings', Warner Bros., directed by Arne Glincher. You can hear a sample of the great music of the 50's in USA, when the mambo was the king, with plenty of bands who performed it everywhere from coast to coast, in a nervous post-war America needed of a new music. This soundtrack offers a delicious taste of what both young and mature enjoyed and danced in those days.
