FROGG CAFE - BATELESS EDGE

• frogg café: bateless edge
      (2010, cd, usa, 10t records)

Do your experienced ears need a challenge? Why not feed them "Bateless Edge"?
Album number six by New York based Frogg Café got released some four years ago but that shouldn't stop you from checking it out.

"Bateless Edge"emphasizes all the things that I like about Frogg Café. Part of this might be due to the fact that guitarist Frank Camiola returned to the band. I love his guitar playing.

Frogg Café brings a mixture of prog, fusion and eastern elements. Frank Zappa never is far away.

Essential listening.

THE AVENGERS - ON A MISSION

• the avengers: on a mission
      (2012, cd, usa, gudari records)

Wowie zowie !! If you like the music of Joe Zawinul and Weather Report, Allan Holdsworth, Pat Metheny or Mike Stern (to name a few fusion icons), you're in for a treat.

The Avengers are Beledo (guitar and compositions), Adam Holzman (keyboards), Lincoln Goines (bass) and Kim Plainfield (drums).
All four of them are accomplished jazz musicians. Adam Holzman worked with Miles Davis in the late 80's; Lincoln Goines has recorded with Michael Brecker and Mike Stern; and Kim Plainfield's credentials include Bill Connors and Edgar Winter.
Beledo, the main composer and the leader of The Avengers, hails from Uruguay where he led progressive rock bands Maytreya and Siddhartha.

Rumor has it that the Avengers will be signing with the MoonJune Records label.
