STEPHANE GALLAND & THE RHYTHM HUNTERS
PROGOSAURUS
Progosaurus is a progressive rock / joint band project that features Chato Segerer on guitar.
A first album is in the making and should also become available (in a limited edition) on CD.
NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCED BY VALENTINA SCHELDHOFEN CIARDELLI
- Valentina Scheldhofen Ciardelli – double bass, choirs, compositions and arrangements
- Anaïs Drago – violin, choirs, compositions and arrangements
- Riccardo Angelo Strano – countertenor
The trio mocks the trappings of the academic world and those who still protect the bastion of "serious music", instead offering a different point of view, in which different techniques, styles and harmonies can coexist and enrich each other.
The listeners who are most passionate about progressive rock and contemporary classical music will not be disappointed, as will the great lovers of classical music more accustomed to the rounded sounds of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Alessandro Scarlatti.
The concert is the presentation event of the trio's debut album, "Shake your Duty", out in May on the Parco della Musica Records label

A DWEEZIL ZAPPA TOUR UPDATE
Hello Everyone!
Did you know that the Roxpostrophy tour starts in 98 days? Tickets are still available.
I've already started rehearsing with the band and we've been filming every step of the way. If you'd like to see some FREE behind-the-scenes footage you can binge-watch right here on the home page: Countdown To Roxpostrophy
Stay tuned to dweezilzappa.com for even deeper behind-the-scenes footage! We're filming a whole season of "reality show style docu-series" episodes that will be rent-able right here next month!
I decided to make the "reality show" because I wanted to be sure to include all of the international fans in some way with this tour. If we can't come play for you, you can come to us via the show!
The plan is to have a whole series that leads up to the first show and by X-mas this year release an entire filmed concert from the tour! (Possibly even a blue-ray disc with ATMOS mixes!)
For anyone who wants to support the tour directly, this upcoming series will be a great way to stay caught up and witness great performances along with unique stories.
Best, DZ
STEPHANE GALLAND & THE RHYTHM HUNTERS - - - NEW ALBUM OUT
Stéphane Galland & The Rhythm Hunters' album is out.
On CD and on LP.
On the Challenge Records label.
A teaser:
KRONOS QUARTET TO RELEASE A SUN RA TRIBUTE ALBUM
SEAORM - NEKYIA
“If there is an album that could be close to the fusion of the space-prog legends Vespero and the cult avant-rock group October Equus, it is this new album by Seaorm called Nekyia. The pair of composer brothers Ángel Ontalva and Víctor Rodríguez on guitar and keyboards respectively, and the prodigious rhythm section of Vespero, the also brothers Arkady and Ivan Fedotov, have created a cosmic work with this album, they have descended to the underworld and emerged epically through a thousand alchemical spells. It is a formidable work for those eager to explore new musical paths.”
ERIKA STUCKY
Jazz singer Erika Stucky's "Stucky Live" album got released on CD in 2011.
It included her version of FZ's 'I'm The Slime'.
The album has also been made available through Bandcamp.

JOHN SURMAN, JACK DEJOHNETTE & LONDON BRASS - FREE AND EQUAL
- john surman, jack dejohnette & london brass: free & equal
(2003, cd, --, ecm)
And this is a pretty amazing album.
9 tracks.
I love the brass sounds and how it delivers the perfect setting (and contrast) for John Surman and Jack DeJohnette.
Recorded in 2002 and released in 2003.
Beautiful.
Here's a sample :
