Fresh off their appearance at the 2020 international Blues Challenge semifinals, where they proudly represented their hometown of Santa Clarita, California, Jim Gustin and Truth Jones (Jeri Goldenhar) are set to release their third album, “Lessons Learned.” The eleven new tracks reflect the group’s diversity, talent and experience growing up in the melting pot of Southern California. The new album is a collection of driving blues, funky soul, sultry jazz and American rock ‘n’ roll that speaks to the tales of wild nights in bar rooms, Sunday mornings in church, times of heartbreak, and years of struggle and the wisdom received that fill the songs delivered by two powerful and emotive vocalists. Gustin and Jones are backed by the muscular rhythm section of bassist Scott Duncan and drummer Chuck Strong, along with versatile keyboardist Steve Alterman, and the dynamic saxophonist Lawrence Tamez.

Following in the footsteps of Geri Halliwell, Mel C (formerly Sporty Spice) has released her debut solo album Northern Star. Like the rest of the Spice Girls, Mel is a self-proclaimed Madonna disciple and has shamelessly enlisted the talents of no less than six former collaborators of the pop icon, including William Orbit and Marius DeVries. The sleek club anthem “I Turn To You,” the best of the album’s tracks, was co-written by none other than Billy Steinberg, of “Like A Virgin” fame.

This is the 4th record for Jim Diamond & The Groove Syndicate. They are an award winning International Blues recording act. This record is an all original collection of tunes; where blues meets jazz, meets swing, meets blues rock, meets soul.

Rock / Hard Rock / Power Rock / Punk-Blues / Rock & Roll / Blues Rock

This is the ultimate Messiahs record - live in front of a good sized crowd at London's Town & Country Club (later the Forum) at the brief height of their success. The rhythm section are an awesomely powerful, well-drilled machine - Kenny Harris's drumming almost unavoidably conjures up visions of steam locomotives with all the pistons and connecting rods going like crazy … Over the top of it (WELL over the top …) Bill Carter rants (about American cars and Jesus mostly) and slashes at his guitar. You can tell it was very loud (it was …)

Harry Chapin’s brother Steve and his drummer Howard Fields remember: “On April 11th 1977, Harry Chapin and his band, near the end of their first tour overseas, performed a concert broadcast over German radio at a small auditorium in the city of Bremen in front of 400 people."

If there was ever any question about pop punk’s continued popularity, New Found Glory is proof that the youthful genre never went away. After 23 years together, the Florida band has maintained relevancy by staying loyal to their peppy Warped Tour sound and their fans, and Forever and Ever x Infinity, their tenth studio album, shows them at their most refined. Singer Jordan Pundik’s joyful, nasal vocal tone has only become more distinguished, and the band has mastered what made them so distinctive in the first place: palm-muted power chords and gang vocals (“Nothing to Say”), nerdy pop culture references (“Scarier Than Jason Voorhees at a Campfire”), and playful self-deprecation (“Double Chin for the Win”) alongside assurances that everything is going to be okay (“Shook by Your Shaved Head”). These are songs meant to elicit the same rush as a school-age crush, just like New Found Glory songs always have.

Bridge to Mars a power-trio from Stockholm Sweden. Their debut self-titled album was released 26/2 2016. With influences like Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Yes, The Black Crowes, The Who, Soundgarden, Rush, Black Sabbath, Van Halen and yes … ABBA! they´ve managed to create their own unique sound.

Jazz / New Orleans Jazz / Trombone

One of trombonist Kid Ory's greatest recordings, this consistently exciting CD features trumpeter Alvin Alcorn, clarinetist Phil Gomez, and a strong rhythm section that includes bassist Wellman Braud and Ory's longtime drummer, Minor Hall. These versions of "Mahogany Hall Stomp," "There'll Be Some Changes Made," "At the Jazz Band Ball," and "Shine" are all gems, giving listeners some of the very best in New Orleans jazz and showing that the music need not be played haltingly by over-the-hill musicians; one can capture its spirit and joy without sacrificing musicianship. Every jazz collection should have this music.

Formidable album with the best french jazzman: Michel Petrucciani, Richard Galliano, Jacky terrasson,Eddy Louis, Pierre Drevet and the collaboration of Diane Reeves. The program aims to revisit Aznavour's song book in jazz form. So here are in great versions "Yesterday, When i was Young", " Mes Emmerdes", "Ce sacré piano", "J'aime París au mois de mai", "Me Voilà Seul", "She" and last but not least "Au creux de mon épaule". This CD combines the softness of the classic French style and the addicting jazz flare to create a very nice CD for any kind of music lover.
