Tana Reid - LOOKING FORWARD (1994)

When percussionist/drummer Akira Tana and bassist Rufus Reid sat down to record [LOOKING FORWARD]...their egos took a back seat to the quest for a tight ensemble. They got it. This quintet achieves an impressive cohesiveness no matter what style of material they tackle..."

Cheb Tati - ARABESQUE (2002)

HAMADI HADEFI é um dos primeiros Rai-men a entender a necessidade de internacionalizar o Rai. Na verdade, foi o primeiro a cantar o Rai além do Atlântico, através da sua grande tournée na costa oeste dos USA e do Canada (1990). Em 1993, o artista canta em dueto com o cantor japonês Kuminoto. Autor-compositor, os seus textos falam sobre o amor e a sensualidade mas também sobre temas sociais e políticos tais como os assassínios do presidente Boudiaf (1992) e do seu amigo Hasni. À beira duma carreira internacional, e por motivos pessoais, Cheb Tati desaparece da cena musical durante 7 anos. Mas em 2000, Hamadi renasce e regressa com um novo Álbum intitulado “La Moda”. O nosso Cd de hoje, Arabesque, é mais uma obra que testemunha a abertura do Artista.

kocani orkestar - L'ORIENT EST ROUGE' (1997)

Kocani Orkester is merely one of a legion of great brass bands from Balkan countries and this is one of the best of such CD's. The rhythms are like none other in the world. This style originated in villages and there is a lot of borrowing from country to country while each retains its distinctive style.At times the sound is akin to perhaps Latin brass bands, but with a gutsier beat and overall sound. These are highly skilled musicians, though not in the classical sense.

Maynard Ferguson - BIRDLAND DREAMBAND (1956)

In 1956 Maynard Ferguson had the opportunity to put together a "dream band." Fortunately (in addition to a tour), the orchestra cut a pair of albums, most of which is included on this single CD. With arrangements from Al Cohn, Bob Brookmeyer, Jimmy Giuffre, Ernie Wilkins, Bill Holman, Marty Paich, Willie Maiden, Johnny Mandel, and Herb Geller, it is not too surprising that these charts sound both modern and quite exciting. In addition to Ferguson's high-note trumpet work, the main soloists are trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, altoist Herb Geller, and Al Cohn on tenor. Overall, this music serves a particularly strong start to Maynard Ferguson's career as a major bandleader. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Kocani Orkestar - ALONE AT MY WEDDING (2002)

With their new, expanded line-up, mighty Macedonian brass band Koçani Orkestar are wilder than ever, getting the entire audience up on their feet & dancing at every concert. Their music is still based on Gypsy tunes from various parts of the Balkans and on Turkish/Bulgarian rhythms, with a sprinkle of Latin flavour... but this album is particularly devoted to the repertoire played by Gypsy bands during wedding celebrations in Macedonia.

Kenny Barron - OTHER PLACES (1993)

Kenny Barron (piano); Ralph Moore (soprano & tenor saxophones); Bobby Hutchinson (vibraphone); Rufus Reid (acoustic bass); Victor Lewis (drums); Mino Cinelu (percussion).
In the 1990s, Kenny Barron was finally recognized as one of jazz's top pianists, recording a series of top-notch and consistently inventive releases. This CD has seven of Barron's originals in which he is teamed with Ralph Moore (tenor and soprano), vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Victor Lewis, and sometimes percussionist Mino Cinelu. These fine performances help to define the modern mainstream of the period. In addition, there are a pair of standards ("For Heaven's Sake" and a lengthy version of "I Should Care") that are played as sensitive duets with Reid. Excellent and often exquisite music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.

Sonic Youth - EXPERIMENTAL JET SET (1994)

Muito menos "ruidoso" que os anteriores e talvez por isso mesmo com menor aceitação na sua legião de fãs mas, também este é um trabalho de primeira qualidade muito na linha dos anteriores.

Herb Ellis & Ray Brown - SOFT SHOE (1974)

This early Concord recording (which is available on CD) is unusual in a couple of ways. Guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown (who are the co-leaders) are joined not only by trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison (who is in colorful form) and drummer Jake Hanna but pianist George Duke in one of his very few mainstream records. Their repertoire includes jazz versions of such unlikely tunes as "Inka-Dinka-Doo," "Easter Parade" and "The Flintstones Theme"; the latter version (which is based on the familiar "I Got Rhythm" chord changes) was the first of many to turn that cartoon melody into jazz. In addition Brown ("Soft Shoe"), Edison and Ellis contribute a song apiece plus there is a brief rendition of "Green Dolphin Street" that is taken as a Brown-Ellis duet. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.

VA - EXPERIENCE EGYPT (2007)

O Album retrata mais de 40 anos das melhores gravações egípcias, desde os legendários Umm Kalthoum e Abdul halim até as mais recentes estrelas da cena musical tais como Amr Diab e Shereen.
A aquisição desta obra pode revelar-se intressante na medida em que, para além da qualidade da música selecionada, o album traz um pequeno guida prático e muito bem ilustrado que poderá dar jeito aos " aventureiros".
