Former employers include hard bop pianist Horace Silver, tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, and smooth jazz guitarist George Benson. Cobham has also appeared with the Grateful Dead and the Saturday Night Live Band. While he has encountered numerous ensembles and genres in the past half century, the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame inductee is best known for his abilities in a fusion setting … There is no denying the drummer’s ability to play in the pocket, and with this release, he has made clear his musical preferences as they stand in 2010.” — JazzPolice Key Markets: New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Los Angeles

The elder statesmen of No Wave, Punk-Jazz, and Harmolodic guitar styles is back, displaying characteristic sharpness and originality!

• Whether James “Blood” Ulmer sounds more like Hendrix or Montgomery has been hotly debated for more than three decades—and his latest album on IN+OUT Records is certain to refuel the debate!

• A power trio set with Mark Peterson on bass and Aubrey Dayle on drums.

James “Blood” Ulmer: guitar, vocals, flute Mark Peterson: electric & acoustic bass Aubrey Dayle: drums • No Man’s Land • A Thing For Joe • Fat Mama • Eviction • Baby Talk • Maya • My Woman • High Yellow • I Believe In You • Backbiter “With its opening nods to Hendrix’s ‘Hey Joe,’ this new studio recording from the Carolina-born master of Harmolodic blues surrealism catches you out from the start, pulling you in with the familiar and then dragging it out from under you … For anyone who’s always sat at the milder end of the blues bar, this might well be the Ulmer album to lose yourself in, an album that reminds you of the love, hate, mania and, yes, blood that lurks at the heart of those 12-bar chord progressions.” — MOJO “One of the best guitarists I’ve ever heard.” — Ry Cooder “The most original guitarist since Jimi Hendrix.”

— New York Times

— San Francisco Chronicle “One of those rare works that at first seemed to have sprung from the head of Zeus.” — Village Voice “Guitarist/vocalist Ulmer sounds like an even bluesier version of his former self, oddly accented rhythmic flurries poised somewhere between Ornette Coleman and Jimi Hendrix.”

Rooted in the tight tradition of the great Swing Era big bands, the star-studded cast of the 14-piece Sun Ra Arkestra blasts off into a new sphere of sound!

• Founded in 1954 by piano genius, master composer, arranger, and mystic visionary Sun Ra, the Sun Ra Arkestra is a treasure of jazz. Today, it continues to provide essential stimulus and give future impulses under the capable and amazingly energetic direction of 85-year-old maestro Marshall Allen.

• In September 2008, the group’s imperturbable spirit of freedom and creativity inspired about 3,000 listeners at the ZXZW Festival in the Netherlands. As Artist In Residence, the Arkestra performed on five evenings at the Paradox Music Club. Only one of those fabulous nights at the Paradox has been recorded!

• Here, long-standing members like tenor saxophonist Charles Davis can be heard alongside the voices of the next generation, including Farid Barron and Wayne Anthony Smith.

• The stunning repertoire goes from the roots of jazz to the apex of avant-garde. It is a blessing that this truly cosmic coup has been documented!

His collaborations with percussionist Babatunde Olatunji mark some of the first free jazz/traditional African music fusions. And in various groups, he keeps a fire blowing with musicians like Kidd Jordan and fellow Philadelphian Elliott Levin. Most of all, his pyrotechnic playing style is one that’s been emulated times over.” — NPR, A Blog Supreme Key Markets: Philadelphia (hometown), New York, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles

After working and recording with Dusko Goykovich, Enrico Rava, Bob Berg, Sonny Fortune, Paolo Fresu, Roy Hargrove, James Moody, and Maria Schneider, Dejan Terzic began to explore the melodies and rhythms of the Balkans (where his family roots lie).

In 1940 only 25 sets of 78s were privately pressed of the entire soundtrack of the hit Deanna Durbin movie musical Spring Parade, making this first-ever CD release the Holy Grail of original soundtrack recordings!

This CD contains all the recordings she made for the Coral label in the late 1950s, making their CD debut. As the title suggests, the bulk of the material is taken from Broadway shows.

30 Tracks Include: Spring Parade Main Title/It’s Foolish But It’s Fun • Tatra/The Country Fair/When April Sings • Czardas • A Night In The Hay • The Blue Danube Dream • Petticoats • Stolz March • Bakery Shop • Charming Drummer • When April Sings • Valse Budapest • When April Sings • Waltzing In The Clouds

“All the Rivers Gold is Terry Oldfield’s take on Celtic atmospheres and passion.

He has proven to be adept at performing in many worldbeat styles; this effort is strong also. Oldfield covers traditional Celtic styles on pipes and strings. He augments those elements with deep atmospheric electronics, nature samples, and sweet vocal accompaniment. The sound design and mix incorporate the vocals as another instrument. Oldfield, per his modus operandi, has added his own flair to a traditional style of music. Deep listeners will feel the soft earth of Ireland and the salt air of the ocean and the channel.

La Compagnia Sacco di Ceriana Italy: Vocal Polyphonies from Liguria

Kamilya Jubran & Werner Hasler WANABNI

In the Ligurian pre-Alps of the San Remo valley, a very rich and original musical tradition has been carried on in the village of Ceriana. Its most significant form is a three-voice polyphony where the two higher voices are soloists, and the lower one is a drone performed by a large number of singers. This form of polyphony is suited for both the liturgical repertoire—the musical territory of the four brotherhoods in the village—and secular songs. The members of la Compagnia Sacco have been championing this tradition with enthusiasm and sensitivity, taking care to retain its most fragile aspects and authentic songs and not to violate its essence.

The encounter of two worlds: Palestinian poetry and Arabic music for Kamilya Jubran, jazz and electronics for Swiss trumpeter Werner Hasler. The result is outstanding, with a new language comprised of both cultures that illustrates the harsh and desperate words of contemporary poets.

Track Listing: ‘E tre figliete • ‘A barbiera • ‘A Pinota • En ta valle da Pigna • La figlia d’in paisan • Donna lombarda • Maire fiurentina • Barcaiolo • Stanotte in sogno • La Marietta • Lenga serpentina • Dund l’è la mia morosa? • ‘U mese du granu

• Adama Dramé is regarded as the great master of the djembe drum.

Through his music, his rhythms, his compositions, and his improvisations, he proclaims his African identity and his faithfulness to African tradition.

• Dramé's playing on this album is strong, pure, complex, and effective. This is essential listening for all world music fans!

• Since 1979 Dramé has appeared at many festivals in Europe and North America, as well as in his native Africa. He has made several recordings, and he is one of the very few African drummers who lead a solo career.

• Dramé’s exceptional improvisations here show how African tradition influences contemporary music.

Adama Dramé: djembe Track Listing: B.Mondet • Dougouda Dya • Barra • Abounaye • Solo Sandia • Sabouyouma • Djembe • Badina • Elodia • Layana “Under the hands of a gifted player, the jembé covers a wide sonic range, from high-pitched cracks and barely audible wisps to warm, low thumping bass tones and everything in between. Under the hands of distinguished jembé master and sixth-generation Dyeli griot Adama Dramé, these sounds are articulated through an incredibly sophisticated rhythmic vocabulary.”

• The young virtuoso Iosif Ioan Liviu shows here that he is a worthy successor to famous players such as Gheorghe Zamfir and Simion Stanciu. On this album we find all the magic of the "king of Romanian folk instruments," accompanied by the musicians of the Crai Nou Ensemble.

• The Crai Nou Folk Ensemble was formed in 1965. The ensemble is composed mainly of students from the Brasov Conservatory (dancers plus a group of musicians), whose talent is regularly acclaimed by the international press. With its director Petrisor Varga, Crai Nou has won several prizes at folk festivals in Romania and throughout Eastern Europe.

• On this album, the ensemble presents folk music from the different regions of Romania: Transylvania (central), Muntenia and Oltenia (south), Banat (southwest), Dobruja (southeast), Moldavia (east), and Oas (north). It includes slow traditional pieces (doina, rora, purtata, inuirtita) as well as very fast ones (sirba, hora, hartegana and joc de doi).

Iosif Ioan Liviu: panpipes, soloist Petrisor Varga: clarinet, artistic director George Vlasceanu: violin Vasile Hedea: cimbalom Iosif Nistor: double bass Daniel Boghiu: accordion Track Listing: Mountain Call • Fire Dance • Pan Pipes In Rhythm • Lonesome Shepherd • Jump, Step And Dance • The Medley Of Banat • Moldavian Dance • The Cloverleaf • Jump Dance Of Kishinev • Greetings From Banat • Mountain Chase • Memories Of Moldavia • Speedy Round • Girls Of Olten • Crystal Lake • Village Dance • Hunters’signal • Shepherd’s Song • Dance All Night • Dance For Two • Morning Call • Village Pals
