Featuring Rudresh Mahanthappa, Stephan Crump, and Derrek Phillips, Panoptic Modes is the CD on which Iyer’s artistic focus and vision really coalesced, giving an early hint of the talents of an artist who has since become one of the most important in jazz.

In their prime at the time, this is arguably the best live recording of the New York Dolls. By the time the Dolls disbanded in 1978, they had accumulated a devoted, worldwide cult following. An invitation to perform at the UK’s 2004 Meltdown Festival led to a reunion of the surviving band members, and the release of new albums.

Their fifth album since the reunion, Dancing Backward In High Heels featuring guitarist Frank Infante (formerly of Blondie), was released on March 15, 2011.

Their dazzling stage presence and formidable sound further impressed audiences at festivals such as Velorock in Belgium, and the 2008 edition of the infamous Wacken Festival in Germany.

At the world’s best hotels, the Ultra Lounge is THE hot spot. The atmosphere at these hotel restaurants, lounges, and clubs is anything but ordinary, and music plays a huge role in the experience!

Lounge music first appeared in the ’60s as the great orchestras experimented with exotic themes and tropical rhythms. Ten years ago, Claude Challe recreated the same atmosphere with his Buddha Bar compilation, primarily influenced by Asian and Indian rhythms, and used electronica as the basic musical style.

24 tracks include: Lemon Jelly: 95 a.k.a.

Incendio Incendio

Incendio Seduction

In both Italian and Spanish, “incendio” means “fire”—and this is a fitting name for a musical group whose sound is all about energy, exploration, and passion. At the heart of Incendio’s sound is the Latin or Spanish guitar, which can conjure up romantic as well as powerful, bold images. Their music is not solely flamenco, classical, Middle Eastern, Celtic, jazz, rock, trance, or pop, but an amalgamation of all of these. Showcasing the timeless sound of the Spanish guitar in a variety of settings, Incendio takes the listener on a global musical experience.

On the anticipated follow-up to their self-titled debut, Incendio ventures further into Latin jazz with appearances from members of Chick Corea’s group, the Rippingtons, and more. From the sun-kissed beaches of South America and the plains of New Mexico to the streets of Morocco, Incendio’s lyrical guitars invite the listener to a world of pure romance, pure adventure, and pure seduction. This Billboard-charting group tours extensively, performing over 200 live concerts annually.

Jonn Serrie Thousand Star

Paul Lawler Tibetan Journey

Thousand Star follows a similar trajectory as previous release The Stargazer’s Journey, presenting an opportunity to embark on a sonic voyage into deep space. This time, instead of an Earth-based view of observing space from a distance, Jonn Serrie invites the audience to take the voyage with him as it happens. The album is intended to play as if the listener were taking part in a science fiction novel, told with music and sound design instead of words and pages.

Tibetan Journey is a musical voyage through the culture and natural wonders of Tibet, “The Rooftop of the World.”

The music is a mix of Eastern and Western styles with Tibetan traditional instruments and voices at the core of the orchestration. Paul Lawler was encouraged to compose a Tibetan themed album, but decided to deviate from the regular spiritual path and create music that reflects the vibrancy of the Tibetan people and paints a picture of the remarkable Tibetan landscape and architecture.

Track Listing: Thousand Star • Flow of Time’s Arrow • Belle E’poque 3012, The Visionary • Course Projection on Tactical • Enroute to Delta Pavonis • Nostalgia for Infinity

Stuart Jones Massage 2

Stuart Jones & Margrit Coates Connecting with Animals

Composed with tender care and mindful attention to fully complement a one-hour therapy session, this soothing soundtrack will optimize the massage experience for both the practitioner and client. Delicately arranged and smoothly delivered, this balanced score delivers a calm, serene environment conducive to full relaxation and the release of negative thoughts and disruptive emotions.

Connecting with animals takes place when we tune into them via our minds and hearts. Animals communicate with us all the time, but humans often ignore this way of being or misunderstand what they are saying. When we activate our sixth sense, or intuition, then we can hear what animals say to us, and learn how to help them. Margrit Coates worked with Stuart Jones to create this relaxing album to share with your four-legged friends, so that they can guide you to a place of deeper awareness.

world/documentary • The Klezmer-clarinet prodigy is back!

• Three years ago, Yom’s first album New King of Klezmer Clarinet, a tribute to Naftule Bradwein, brought him to fame and made people aware that his humorously self-appointed title was well deserved.

• He then followed suit with the masterly Unue, a series of highly inspired duets with Ibrahim Maalouf, Farid D., Wang Li, Bjian Chemirnai, Iurie Morar, and Denis Cuniot.

• Now, Yom returns with a new project and a new band, the Wonder Rabbis, focusing on jazz, pop, and fusion—and crazier than ever! The journey traverses trip-hop, post-rock, electro, and more.

Yom: clarinets Manuel Peskine: Rhodes, synthesizer, effects Sébastien Lété: drums Sylvain Daniel: bass, effects Track Listing: Picnic in Tchernobyl • Highway to Constantinople • Landscape • The Wonder Rabbis • Saving the World is Easy • Along the Red Danube • Killing a Gypsie • Landscape • The Arrival • Kaddish for Superman • With Love • Once Upon a Time Also Available
