NEW RELEASE: MARIA DE FATIMA · STELLA

This CD is about the the beautiful sounds and words of the Brazilian and Portuguese popular song forms. Maria de Fatima masterfully exposes every feeling and nuance that lies hidden within these songs. And such evocative lyrics, interpreted in de Fatima's unique style, so at home with the songs' intent, so far away from any of the clichés that commonly creep into Bossa Nova and Fado.

NEW RELEASE: PABLO HELD · TRIO LIVE

Here is a theater of sound that has the strength to pull the listener in, and never betrays what comes next. With a sense of the subtle and understated, events are gradually transformed, space is extended, themes magnetically attract new musical fragments. Out of the quiet moments, bit by bit, there develops an enormous musical coherence - and in the end, it has all the qualities of a masterpiece of collective spontaneous composition.

NEW RELEASE: CHRISTIAN WEIDNER · DREAM BOOGIE

Christian Weidner calls his new CD Dream Boogie - taken from a well-known poem by the Afro-American Langston Hughes. The title stands for a music that is dream-in-motion. With the lightness of a dancer, it flows forward in continually new layers and levels of imagination. There is the masterful interplay of the musicians and the poignant beauty of the melodies - a dream to dance, a dance to dream!

INSTRUMENTAL CD OF THE MONTH: JÜRGEN FRIEDRICH · MONOSUITE

Instrumental CD of the Month: "Jürgen Friedrich's best album as a leader... The listener is immediately pulled into a maelstrom of undiscovered beauty. This is a stunning composition for a 22-piece string orchestra and four masterful jazz soloists. These great musicians interact with the Sequenza String Orchestra in lively, elastic, and amazingly organic piece of jazz artistry - inspired music played with creative discipline." (Arnaldo Desouteiro, Jazzstation.com)
