Suffice it to say that his fourth is hotly anticipated! • Features American tenor saxophonist Chris Cheek, a prolific musician with 60 albums to his name who counts Paul Motian, Brian Blade, Carla Bley, and Steve Swallow among his admirers. • Rhythm section includes Japanese drummer Ichiro Onoé, who has worked with Bobby Few, Tom McClung, Rasul Siddik, and Mina Agossi; and Italian bassist Mauro Gargano, who regularly plays alongside Paolo Fresu, Bruno Angelini, and Michel Legrand. • The pianist has once again worked with producer Jean-Jacques Pussiau, who worked with him on his acclaimed first recordings on Owl Records’ Echoes from my Room. The title he has chosen for his new album, Involved, reveals his true identity—that of a committed, involved artist. • Taught by Samy Abenaïm in the classical tradition, the pianist later discovered a form of serenity through teaching at the Bill Evans Piano Academy under the direction of Bernard Maury. • Eight of the nine tracks on the album are his own compositions, and display a rich imagination via suggestion, rather than imposition, allowing the listener to dream and construct his own impression.

Originating in Scotland, hard rock band Nazareth was founded in 1968 and enjoyed several British hits in the early 1970s before establishing a worldwide fan following with their 1975 album Hair of the Dog. Recorded and filmed live at the Camden Palace, London in 1985, this is the classic Nazareth line-up performing some of their greatest worldwide hits including “Love Hurts,” perhaps their best-known hit single and a heartbreaking ballad that became a worldwide hit in 1975. Bonus features include a neverseen-before photo gallery of the band’s performance.
Formed in 1968, Man is a rock band from South Wales whose style is a mixture of West Coast psychedelia, progressive rock, blues, and country rock. Not unlike the Grateful Dead, they are renowned for playing extended jams during their live performances. In the summer of 1983, Man performed at the world famous Marquee Club in London, which at the time celebrated its silver jubilee with a two-day festival of live music. It was after a seven-year hiatus that Man returned to perform live, at this historical event, playing all their anthems.

Johnny Mercer Sings Just For Fun
Tommy Sands Dream With Me
On this 29-track album you will hear both well-known songs and rare gems performed by Oscar®-winning lyricist and Capitol Records founder Johnny Mercer, sung in his inimitable style and recorded over four decades, from the 1940s to the 1970s.
On CD for the first time—23 stereo tracks by heartthrob Tommy Sands, Capitol Records’ late 1950s answer to Elvis Presley, who for a time was second only to the King in U.S. popularity.

Wabotaï Circle Songs Intertwining rhythms, overlapping & responding voices, and swaying bodies represent the characteristic features of these circular songs inspired by the Pygmies and Mongos of Northern Congo. There is a vital, repetitive impulse, a source of trance that transcends the rich harmony and polyphony, and a polyrhythmic sophistication that gives these songs (sung in Lingala, English, and Japanese!) their unique nature. Jean-Paul Wabotaï is also a very talented painter, whose works are exhibited at the venues where he performs in concert. The CD booklet presents some of his paintings, which are the visual reflection of the underlying humanist dimension in his work, whether musical or pictorial.

JB Moundélé Fanka Bi Na Over the last decade, while traveling Africa and the world with Tiken Jah Fakoly, JB Moundélé decided to take his saxophone to other musical lands. However, his first solo album Fanka Bi Na retains beautiful African colors and could be labeled as Mandingo jazz. An author, composer, and producer, JB has long been immersed in jazz, funk, electro, and African music—a background that has enabled him to achieve a large range of tone colors. For this album, the saxophonist has invited some of the great African musicians who have crossed his path to join him.
